Dr. Robert Schwarcz- Summer Plastic Surgery Trends
By Christine Montanti
Summer is a time to look and feel our best, and it’s also a great time to invest in cosmetic procedures. Many invasive and non-invasive treatments require prolonged downtime; patients who have extended breaks during the summer season such as teachers, students, and doctors find this time of year to be the perfect opportunity to book their cosmetic procedures. Trends that are emerging this season reflect both advancements in laser technology and a shift toward more natural looking methods. Patients are opting for subtle enhancements that maintain their unique features rather than dramatic changes.
We reached out to the nation’s leading cosmetic Oculofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, Dr. Robert Schwarcz, to find out the summer’s most popular cosmetic procedures. Known for achieving natural looking results and for his skill and precision in plastic surgery, Dr. Schwarcz is recognized as a luminary in his field. He is also a dual board-certified surgeon and one of only 650 surgeons nationwide to be admitted to the American Society of Oculofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (ASOPRS). He is frequently sought out for popular cosmetic procedures during the summertime and his cosmetic surgeries that inspire rejuvenation without the tell-tale signs of intervention.
What are the most common non-surgical procedures you perform during the summer?
In the early summer, it is quite common for my practice to see patients for neurotoxins like Botox and fillers to smooth wrinkles on the face, whereas toward the end of the summer, we are addressing more sun related damage using Moxi Laser & BBL HERO. While we stress minimizing sun exposure and using sun protection regularly patients that have had exposure often come in to address tone and textural issues caused by sun exposure. Moxi enhances the texture of the skin and BBL evens out discoloration.
Are patients having any surgical procedures during the summer months?
I am seeing blepharoplasty, facelifts and brow lifts for patients who don’t have an opportunity to take time off during the year. For instance, teachers, and specifically psychologists happen to be free in the month of August. Many of my surgical patients in the summer are off from work for a defined period such as psychologists in August, and I never understood why until I asked; they explained that most of their clients went away in August. Also, teachers, and individuals who work throughout the year and have summers off, are some of the other types of clients I get during the summer for surgery.
What preventative measures would you recommend to protect your skin during the summer?
The number one preventative aging secret I have is to always wear SPF 50 or higher on your face and limiting sun exposure. For a post sun glow, I recommend using my skin care product Orvos Skin Science’s Vitamin C Kakadu Plum Glow Moisturizer; it contains antioxidant properties including a mega dose of vitamin C that will help restore skin elasticity and fight against free radicals.
In addition to being double board-certified, Dr. Schwarcz is sought after not only for his specialty in eyelid surgery including brows, eyelids, and midface, but also for many other surgical and non-invasive procedures including facelifting, necklifting and lasers.
