Our Team

Elizabeth Alexandra Zubowicz, MD, FACS, FASMBS is a board-certified general surgeon. She specializes in bariatric surgery and hernia surgery.  She developed a passion for improved body image after weight loss surgery and childbirth and has brought her expertise to Thrive Medical Spa and Wellness.  She has expert knowledge in minimally invasive body contouring options.

One of the biggest concerns post-bariatric surgery is “loose skin.”  After so much hard work and effort to lose weight and get healthier, patients still have this loose skin that can significantly impact their quality of life and self-image.  Skin removal surgery is rarely covered by insurance and can be an extremely long and painful recovery.

In addition, being a mother of 2, she personally felt the body image challenges of having permanent loose/sagging abdominal skin, no matter how many crunches after having babies.  After extensive research, Dr. Zubowicz was impressed by the significant results of minimal laser techniques for loose/wrinkled skin and decided to incorporate them into her practice.
