Weight loss can drastically improve an individual’s physical and mental well-being. However, when excess fat or skin is left after weight loss, patients can experience discomfort that interferes with their desired outcome.
Body contouring for men following weight loss offers cosmetic procedures to remove fat deposits and excess skin for a more toned and sculpted appearance. Body contouring for men has become increasingly popular. Learn more about male plastic surgery to enhance weight loss results below!
Liposuction For Men
Liposuction is among one of the most common body contouring procedures performed. While weight loss reduces fat, it cannot control which specific areas the fat is lost from. Liposuction can treat specific areas resistant to diet and exercise to reduce pockets of stubborn fat and enhance weight loss results. Common areas lipo for men target include the arms, chest, abdomen, and love handles. Today’s minimally invasive techniques offer minimal downtime and skin tightening benefits.
Male Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, targets loose abdominal skin, weakened stomach muscles, and excess fat. A tummy tuck is ideal for men looking to tighten and tone their abdomen. Factors such as aging, obesity, and improper lifting can cause men to experience diastasis recti (or separation of the abdomen muscles). The only way diastasis recti can be corrected is through tummy tuck surgery. Tummy tuck surgery is often combined with liposuction to remove excess fat and skin to achieve a slimmer, contoured waistline.
Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, removes excess breast tissue and fat in men for a sculpted and toned chest. Gynecomastia surgery can treat excess skin following weight loss. Liposuction is most often performed to remove excess tissue during gynecomastia.
Body Lift For Men
A body lift is performed to address multiple cosmetic concerns of the body at once. Body lift surgery procedure targets excess skin following significant weight loss. A body lift can provide improvements to the abdomen, arms, back, legs, and more. After significant weight loss, stretched skin and tissue often lack elasticity to conform to the new body shape. Undergoing a body lift, removes any excess skin and tissue while tightening lax skin and repairing damaged muscles.
Why Plastic Surgery After Weight Loss
Studies show the percentage of men obtaining plastic surgery increases annually. Body plastic surgery can remove excess or loose skin while sculpting the body. After weight loss, excess skin can increase the chances of infections, skin irritation, negative body image, and more. Undergoing body contouring can enhance masculine physique and address problem areas.

Noticing visible signs of aging in the form of facial skin sagging, wrinkles, or dry skin? Obtain a glowing, refreshed complexion without an invasive surgery with SKINVIVE™ by Juvéderm at Asaadi Plastic Surgery.
SKINVIVE™ by Juvéderm is the first FDA approved hyaluronic acid injectable used to increase hydration, improving skin smoothness. This cosmetic injectable is suitable for all skin tones and types and works below the surface level to achieve healthier skin. SKINVIVE™ is ideal for patients looking to restore hydration and improve their skin tone and texture.
How Does SKINVIVE™ Work?
The injections are inserted into the skin using small droplet injections under the outer layer of the skin. SKINVIVE™ filler immediately diffuses in an even, thin layer, instantly increasing moisturization and improving skin. The micro droplets of hyaluronic acid used differentiates SKINVIVE™ from other cosmetic treatments as it works to increase hydration just below the skin’s surface. SKINVIVE™ also contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic that numbs the skin, making SKINVIVE™ a comfortable and painless procedure for patients. The SKINVIVE™ treatment typically takes 15 minutes for injections but can vary for each individual patient.
Benefits Of SKINVIVE™
SKINVIVE™ may be right for you if you are looking for a rejuvenating, minimally invasive cosmetic treatment. The main benefits of SKINVIVE™ are improved skin texture and enhanced hydration. SKINVIVE™ reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and targets acne scars and rough skin. The hyaluronic acid draws in moisture from surrounding areas to restore hydration to the skin. For patients experiencing flakiness or tightness due to dry skin, SKINVIVE™ can provide significant relief. SKINVIVE™ also promotes collagen production, improving skin elasticity. The benefits of SKINVIVE™ last up to 12 months.

Taking the steps to remove festoons by undergoing festoon surgery or non-invasive treatments only to be left with incomplete festoon removal, complications, or a worse appearance can take a toll on a person’s health and self-esteem. Revision festoon surgery is a secondary surgical procedure to correct the results or fix complications from previous festoon surgery or treatments.
What Are Festoons?
Festoons are pockets of fluid that surface on the face between the eyelid and cheek region and can occur for a variety of reasons. Festoons contribute to a tired appearance with swelling around or under the eye, occasionally resembling dark circles under the eye. Festoons can be difficult to treat due to their complex nature.
What To Know When Considering Festoon Surgery Or Treatments
Before undergoing festoon surgery, it is important to determine the cause behind your festoons. While they can be a result of genetic factors and aging, festoons can also result from lifestyle factors, such as sun damage, smoking, and undergoing cosmetic fillers. It is important that your plastic surgeon understands the cause behind your festoons, in order to provide the best surgical outcome.
Choosing The Right Plastic Surgeon For Festoon Removal
Dr. Asaadi specializes in festoon surgery and revision festoon surgery, correcting the results or complications from previous festoon surgery or treatments. As festoons are difficult to treat, going to a plastic surgeon that understands and can effectively remove festoons is important. Undergoing festoon surgery with a surgeon that does not understand the intricacies of festoons can result in unsuccessful results. At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we see an increase in patients seeking revision surgery following unsuccessful removal from other providers demonstrating ineffective techniques and understanding of the complexities and nuances of festoons and festoon removal surgery. Revision festoon surgery is normally not needed if you go to the right plastic surgeon. Even undergoing non-invasive treatments aimed at reducing festoon appearances can result in more harm than good.
Determine If You Are A Candidate For Revision Festoon Surgery
Patients that have undergone festoon surgery or non-invasive treatments such as cosmetic fillers, lasers, microneedling, and more with unsuccessful results or complications may be candidates for revision festoon surgery. Patients may be seeking revision festoon surgery due to incomplete removal, scarring, eyelid retraction, or ectropion. Ideal patients considering revision festoon surgery have waited at least 6 months after their first treatment, are in good general health, and do not smoke.
Revision Festoon Surgery – What To Expect
Dr. Asaadi and his staff at Asaadi Plastic Surgery will meet with you to evaluate the cause of your festoons. Dr. Asaadi established the Botox® Test, allowing him to diagnose if your festoons are caused by muscle laxity or excess fat. Determining the cause will provide the foundation for proper treatment. Dr. Asaadi will answer any questions you may have and provide you with a treatment plan before and after the procedure. It is important to note that any revision surgery poses unique challenges due to existing scarring and altered anatomy from the initial treatment. Working with an experienced festoon surgeon is essential to achieve the best possible results.

Dr. Asaadi and our staff at Asaadi Plastic Surgery are happy to discuss revision festoon surgery to correct results from previous surgery or treatments. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000 or request an appointment today!

As we age, new skin concerns are completely normal as our skin starts to lose collagen and elasticity. If you are experiencing skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, cellulite and more, Morpheus8 for face and body can be the rejuvenating skin solution for you.
Morpheus8 is an FDA approved treatment that utilizes the latest technological advancements in microneedling and radio frequency. Morpheus8 uses microneedling to penetrate skin by creating micro-lesions that absorb the heat from the radiofrequency. This minimally invasive procedure can achieve skin tightening results in just one treatment. The procedure can be completed in as little as an hour. Morpheus8 can be combined with other procedures to provide complementary results.
At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer Morpheus8 for face and Morpheus8 for body. Since Morpheus8 uses microneedling and radiofrequency, it initiates a natural healing response that promotes both collagen and elastin production in the skin. These two proteins are important for the skin as they promote strength and elasticity.
Morpheus8 Face
Morpheus8 for the face can treat common cosmetic concerns including nasolabial folds, fine lines, loss of facial volume, hyperpigmentation, scars, and more. This facial treatment is safe on all skin types and can be used on delicate areas of the face. Morpheus8 is ideal for patients seeking a rejuvenated facial profile without undergoing surgery. The treatment can lift and tighten sagging skin and jowls, soften fine lines and wrinkles, and combat acne and acne scarring, instantly restoring a youthful facial profile.
Morpheus8 Body
Morpheus8 for the body targets and treats a wide variety of problem areas on the body. It can effectively address cellulite, stretch marks, scarring, loose skin and skin texture. Morpheus8 can also target small pockets of fat on the body while tightening skin, leaving patients with a firm, tone figure. The treatment is highly customizable to improve body contouring without invasive surgery. Morpheus8 can be used on the abdomen, buttocks, upper arms, thighs and more.
What To Expect When Undergoing Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 treatments are performed in-office and do not require general anesthesia. Instead, patients will receive a topical numbing agent to minimize any discomfort. Morpheus8 is completed in small sections to achieve precise targeting and prioritize patient comfort.
What To Expect After Morpheus8?
Patients can occasionally experience irritated skin directly after the procedure. Patients should avoid sun exposure and apply a high SPF while keeping the skin free of any products. The treatment area should be kept clean and dry for a few days after the procedure. While patients sometimes see results a few days after Morpheus8, it may take a few weeks to notice full results as collagen production continues to increase. The skin tightening effects from Morpheus8 can be seen for up to 3 months after the procedure.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff are available to answer any questions or discuss Morpheus8 with you. Please contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000 to schedule a consultation or request an appointment online today!

With an increase in demand for weight loss drugs, there has been an increase in body contouring procedures to remove excess skin after significant weight loss.
GLP-1 drugs have been the latest trend for significant weight loss. GLP-1 drugs, like Semaglutide, mimic the natural hormone of GLP-1 in the body, which helps with blood sugar regulation and decreases appetite. The effect of dramatic weight and rapid weight loss, however, can leave people with loose and sagging skin. Excess skin on the body can negatively affect confidence and cause health complications, including decrease of mobility and an increased risk of infections. For those experiencing excess skin following weight loss, body contouring procedures may be recommended.
At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer a variety of body contouring procedures to address and remove excess skin following weight loss. Body sculpting procedures to address excess skin can include tummy tuck surgery and body lift procedures. Undergoing a body contouring procedure can take care of excess skin all over and improve overall health. Learn more about body contouring procedures and discover which is the right fit for you!
Tummy Tuck
Often known as abdominoplasty, tummy tuck surgery is ideal for patients who have undergone significant weight loss. Tummy tuck surgery addresses loose abdominal skin, stretch marks, weakened stomach muscles, and excess fat. In addition, patients may achieve a slimmer waistline with the stomach muscles positioned closer together. This procedure can achieve long-lasting body sculpting results while tightening stretched stomach muscles.
Body Lift
A body lift is an overarching surgery to firm multiple parts of the body with one procedure. Body lifts can tone the body while removing excess skin and target specific body parts. A lower body lift can address the abdomen and buttocks, breast surgery can correct sagging or flattened breast tissue, and an arm lift or thigh lift can remove excess skin for a toned look. Body lifts are ideal for patients who’ve had significant weight loss. Dr. Asaadi decides what body lift procedures are necessary for each individual case.
Skin Tightening Treatments
Significant weight loss in a short period of time can affect skin elasticity and result in drooping skin. Non-invasive skin tightening treatments such as Morpheus8 and Ultherapy® are available for patients looking to address excess skin without surgery. Morpheus8 uses microneedling and radio frequency technology to deliver skin tightening effects. Ultherapy® uses ultrasound technology to boost collagen and elastin production and achieve sculpted results.
