Plastic Surgeon in Fairfield, CT on How to Enhance One's Appearance for the Holidays with Facial Rejuvenation
According to board-certified Fairfield, CT plastic surgeon Dr. Fredric Newman, cosmetic enhancement during the holidays can provide patients with an effective and safe way to boost their appearance and self-confidence. Dr. Newman discusses certain surgical and non-invasive procedures with minimal recovery time that can subtly improve facial vibrancy and tone before the upcoming holiday bustle of social gatherings and stressful shopping.
While the holidays are often associated with warmth, cheer, and goodwill, Connecticut plastic surgeon Dr. Fredric Newman says preparation for the upcoming season can often cause undesirable stress that shows in facial lines and complexion. While Dr. Newman says he has seen an increase in cosmetic procedures at his practice in the past few years, he adds that the holidays offer a significantly greater increase in cosmetic facial treatments. The latest statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) report that BOTOX® Cosmetic procedures increased by 12% in the past year. Facelift procedures also saw a growth of 9% since 2009 according to the ASPS study. Dr. Newman says the already growing popularity of facial rejuvenation procedures typically surges during the holiday season as patients seek to combat the signs of aging and enhance their appearance for the social gatherings and parties that ensue.
At his practice for plastic surgery in Fairfield, CT, Dr. Newman focuses on surgical procedures such as facelift and rhinoplasty as well as non-invasive enhancements like BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal fillers. He says one of the benefits of a surgical procedure such as a facelift is the limited recovery time, making it possible for patients to experience the benefits of a rejuvenated appearance in time for the holidays. “Most face lift patients take a week to ten days off of work. However, the results are substantial in terms of enhancing the patient’s youthful look, cleaning up the jowls and improving the jaw and neckline, giving one back a younger version of themselves.”
For patients who are looking for a less noticeable improvement to their skin vitality and complexion, Dr. Newman says non-invasive procedures like BOTOX® Cosmetic and laser skin resurfacing can give patients a quick boost in self-confidence through a refreshed, youthful appearance. “BOTOX will soften the lines of the forehead, crow’s feet and frown lines, yielding a younger healthier and rested appearance. In addition to BOTOX, laser skin resurfacing can be done as a non-invasive procedure, which actually rejuvenates the skin, softening the lines and wrinkles and evening out skin tone.”
Regardless of whether patients are seeking a surgical procedure before the holidays or a subtle enhancement through injectable fillers, Dr. Newman says he recommends consulting with an experienced, dedicated, and board-certified plastic surgeon before rushing into a decision. He adds that patients should thoroughly research all options to find the right practice that is committed to their safety in addition to providing them with the personalized results they want. “It is very important to consult an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon, because you are basically entrusting your health, safety and general well being to that individual. It is equally important to find someone with excellent training, many years of experience, and someone who is kind, caring, and compassionate.”

Fairfield CT Plastic Surgeon on Board Certification Importance
Despite the economic recession, plastic and reconstructive surgical procedures have seen a steady increase, specifically in procedures such as breast augmentation and facelift, as reported by the latest study from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). The recent study shows the total number of cosmetic procedures performed reached 13.6 million in 2010, up 5% from the previous year. As the number of procedures increases, so does the need for qualified surgeons. Dr. Fredric Newman, a board-certified plastic surgeon near Fairfield, CT, says that experience is one of the most valuable qualities to look for when considering a plastic surgery practice.
According to the most recent study by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the number of overall cosmetic procedures performed rose by 5% in 2010 and reconstructive procedures grew by 2%. Since 2006, the most performed surgical procedure has been breast augmentation. Rhinoplasty, which was the former leader in 2000, is the only top-five procedure to have shown a decline in the number of procedures performed. Dr. Fredric Newman says that at his plastic surgery practice, he has seen similar results in the rise of overall plastic surgery procedures, particularly breast augmentation in Fairfield, CT. He adds that board-certification is crucial when considering a plastic surgeon for any of these procedures.
With the significant rise in cosmetic surgical and minimally-invasive procedures, Dr. Newman says that, for patients, ensuring their plastic surgeon is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) is becoming increasingly important. Achieving board certification by the ABPS requires an approved residency in plastic surgery, a written qualifying examination, and then an oral certifying exam. Certification is designed to promote safe, ethical, and educated plastic surgery structured on a set of high standards for the maintenance and performance of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures.
For Dr. Newman and his Fairfield plastic surgery practice, he says ensuring patient comfort and providing accurate and up-to-date information are of the utmost importance. Dr. Newman adds that extensive board certification training must be paired with personalized patient care and dedication in order to achieve safe and effective results. Dr. Newman states that, “Board certification is essential when choosing a plastic surgeon. However, it is the minimum requirement. Patients must look beyond board certification, and consider a surgeon’s experience, expertise, and aesthetic enhancement results among other requirements to ensure they receive the safest and most effective procedure.”

Plastic Surgeon in Fairfield, CT Discusses Rhinoplasty Complexities
The most recent statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) show more than 9.3 million cosmetic enhancement procedures were performed in 2010. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Fredric Newman says he is not surprised by this increase in cosmetic enhancement procedures; he adds that the number of revision rhinoplasties he performs at his Fairfield, CT plastic surgery practice has also increased over the last few years.
According to the most recent study from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), more than 9.3 million cosmetic procedures were performed in 2010. Rhinoplasty accounted for more than 127,000 procedures and ranked as the seventh most performed surgical cosmetic enhancement in 2010. Dr. Fredric Newman, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Fairfield, CT, recently discussed the complexities of the rhinoplasty procedure; in particular, the growing number of revision rhinoplasty procedures his practice sees, adding that he performs nearly two secondary procedures to each original rhinoplasty.
Having performed thousands of rhinoplasty procedures over his 30-year career, Dr. Newman says that the most common reason his patients cite for pursuing a secondary rhinoplasty is the desire for improved cosmetic results following an unsatisfactory procedure at another practice. Dr. Newman adds that this experience with revision rhinoplasties has instilled an even greater respect for the complexity of this procedure.
In revision rhinoplasty, Dr. Newman says that each patient is unique and requires an individualized plan. In a majority of secondary procedures, scar tissue and patient frustration are two common considerations he must carefully manage to optimize the patient experience. He adds that the ability to adapt and adjust once the procedure begins is paramount to the success of each revision rhinoplasty. Ultimately, Dr. Newman says he believes that the decrease in rhinoplasty procedures over the last three years, as highlighted in the ASAPS study, is no coincidence, as the procedure is extremely complex and requires extensive experience and dedication as he strives to satisfy each patient’s expectations.

The one thing that I think that sets me apart is that I do take my time. I am very careful. I am very meticulous. That patient, that surgery, that day is the center of my attention and my focus. But there is something else that also sets The Aesthetic Surgery Center above many cosmetic surgery facilities in America. It has its very own fully accredited operating room. I feel that we have the safest facility possibly available to our patients for a number of reasons. We have the latest, most modern, and up-to-date equipment that is inspected on a regular basis. We are fully accredited by the American association of the Ambulatory Facilities perhaps the most stringent of all the accrediting agencies.

I feel wonderful.” “Let me take a peek and see how you are doing.” “Well, other people’s opinions have been very favorable. They all say that I look at least 10 to 15 years younger and my husband absolutely loves it. He said that we met later in life and he said that I look exactly like the day that he met me, which was 17 years ago.”
“I feel much better about myself and more confident and I thank Dr. Newman and his staff for that.”
