One of the top problem areas for patients who have given birth is the midsection. The effects of pregnancy tend to stretch abdominal muscles, leading to bulging around the stomach. Abdominal muscles may also become weakened due to substantial fluctuations in your weight. Once stretched, these muscles cannot be tightened or repaired through traditional diet and exercise methods. At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, our New Jersey plastic surgeon offers CORE Abdominoplasty to surgically tighten stomach muscles for a firmer-looking midsection.
What Is CORE Abdominoplasty?
CORE Abdominoplasty is an innovative tummy tuck procedure to address abdominal bulging. During this technique, stomach muscles are carefully tightened and brought closer together. Small amounts of loose or excess skin can also be repositioned and removed, if necessary, to achieve a flatter-looking midsection.
How Is CORE Abdominoplasty Different From A Tummy Tuck?
Unlike traditional tummy tuck surgery, CORE Abdominoplasty utilizes a special technique known as the Table Tilt Test. This procedure identifies additional bulging around the midsection by putting the patient in a sitting position, as opposed to lying flat. Once any bulging is identified, your plastic surgeon can address these effects through surgery.
What Kind Of Results Can I Expect?
You can expect long-lasting improvements to the waistline after undergoing CORE Abdominoplasty. This innovative body contouring technique can produce a flatter, natural-looking midsection for those who have experienced pregnancy or substantial weight fluctuations. CORE Abdominoplasty is not meant to address large amounts of abdominal fat and ideal patients for this procedure are in relatively good health.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about CORE Abdominoplasty, as well as any of our other body contouring procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, our New York office at 212-938-0158, or you may request an appointment online today!

A slender, graceful pair of arms is among the most coveted physical attributes. However, numerous factors can take away from arm definition. As you age, your skin begins to loose firmness and become more lax. This can lead to sagging skin around the upper and lower arms. Weight loss can also contribute to drooping arm skin, as excess skin is often left behind after losing a large amount of weight. Arm lift surgery, also referred to as brachioplasty, targets lax arm skin to promote a tighter appearance and restore natural-looking arm contours. Additionally, patients may suffer from small pockets of stubborn arm fat that are difficult to reduce with diet or exercise. Liposuction can be utilized alongside arm lift surgery to remove excess fat and achieve firmer contours. Both male and female patients can undergo brachioplasty and liposuction at Asaadi Plastic Surgery for long-lasting improvements to the arms.
Reshape The Arms!
During your arm lift, sagging skin is carefully redraped and repositioned to tighten the arms. Excess skin can be removed during your procedure, if necessary, to add firmness. Brachioplasty can also eliminate “bat wings,” or hanging skin around the triceps that covers up arm definition.
Remove Excess Fat!
Liposuction can be combined with brachioplasty to further accentuate arm contours. During arm liposuction, small deposits of stubborn fat are broken up and extracted from the upper and lower arms using tiny cannulas. Opting for arm liposuction along with arm lift surgery can achieve shapelier, proportional arms. These treatments are designed to achieve long-lasting body contouring improvements.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about arm lift surgery and liposuction, as well as any of our other body contouring procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, our New York office at 212-938-0158, or you may request an appointment online today!

For patients who have undergone a facial rejuvenation procedure in the past, it is important to maintain results in order to sustain a youthful-looking appearance. Regular touch-ups with cosmetic fillers can guard against fine lines, hollowing, or wrinkles caused by aging and sun exposure. These non-surgical injectables temporarily restore volume to different areas of the face, enhancing the results of a previous facial rejuvenation treatment for years to come, including a facelift, neck lift, eyelid surgery, brow lift, rhinoplasty, or facial implants.
How Do Cosmetic Fillers Work?
Cosmetic fillers are made from a naturally-occurring substance known as hyaluronic acid. These injectables are carefully injected into facial areas that have lost volume or definition to add fullness. Cosmetic fillers can smooth fine lines, improve the appearance of hollows, and reduce facial folds that form naturally over time. In addition to hyaluronic acid-based fillers, Botox® can be utilized to improve facial wrinkling; this substance is made from botulinum toxin and stops nerve impulses by relaxing facial muscles.
What Types Of Cosmetic Fillers Are Available?
There are a variety of cosmetic injectables available to treat specific facial conditions. Juvederm®, Restylane®, Voluma®, and Belotero® are all hyaluronic acid fillers that can achieve youthful-looking results. Botox® is another option to maintain natural-looking volume.
What Areas Can Cosmetic Fillers Treat?
Cosmetic fillers can treat the upper, mid, and lower facial regions. Fine lines and facial furrows around the brows and eyelids can be corrected, as can hollowing around the mid-face. Injectables can also reduce smile lines and wrinkles above the lips. Patients suffering from a loss of jawline definition can undergo treatment with dermal fillers to enhance contours, as well.
What Is Treatment Like?
Cosmetic injectables are a completely non-invasive treatment option, meaning there is no surgery involved. Fillers are carefully injected into the treatment area(s) in less than a half hour. There is no downtime associated and patients can resume daily activities upon completing their procedure.
How Many Treatments Do I Need?
After undergoing your cosmetic filler treatment, you can expect to see results in the following days. Results usually last 6 months to a year. Follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain your youthful-looking results.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about cosmetic fillers or Botox®, as well as any of our other facial rejuvenation procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, our New York office at 212-938-0158, or you may request an appointment online today!

Did you know the eyes are among the first areas to display the signs of aging? Sagging brows, puffy under-eye bags, and frown lines may begin to appear around the eyes over time, due to aging, stress, lifestyle choices, or sun exposure. These effects can result in an older-looking, tired appearance. At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we provide brow lift surgery and blepharoplasty to rejuvenate the eyes by improving forehead furrows and drooping eyelids.
Lift Sagging Brows
Over time, the muscles and tissues around the forehead tend to sag downwards. A brow lift targets these forehead tissues that contribute to drooping brows and horizontal lines. During your brow lift procedure, small incisions are made to carefully reposition tissues, reducing the appearance of fine lines. Additionally, excess skin can be removed to address forehead wrinkling and provide a long-lasting lifting effect to the brows. For patients looking for a non-surgical alternative to a forehead lift, Botox® injections can be used to alter the position of the eyebrows. Botox® can relax forehead muscles by temporarily preventing nerve impulses, leading to a reduction in fine lines.
Contour The Eyelids
Blepharoplasty can address both the upper and lower eyelids for a rejuvenated expression. Upper blepharoplasty targets excess skin above the eyelids, as well as small amounts of fat. Your blepharoplasty surgeon will remove skin from the eyelids, while also trimming excess fat to reshape the lids.
Lower blepharoplasty takes aim at puffy under-eye bags and hollowing that may occur below the eyelids. Lower eyelid surgery tightens muscle and repositions fat pockets around the lower eyelid to restore a smooth appearance. Small amounts of excess skin can be removed, if necessary, to ensure natural-looking, youthful results.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about forehead lift or blepharoplasty, as well as any of our other facial rejuvenation procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, our New York office at 212-938-0158, or you may request an appointment online today!

Under-eye bags often present aesthetic concerns for patients, as they can result in a tired or older-looking appearance. Two specific conditions—malar mounds and festoons—both present themselves as severe under-eye bags that can affect confidence in one’s look. At first glance, it is extremely difficult to tell the cause of these troublesome conditions.
As a result, Dr. Asaadi has pioneered the “Botox® Test” to discern the true cause of malar bags and festoons. Botox® is a cosmetic injectable that temporarily relaxes muscles and prevents nerve impulses. This simple test is used in order to correctly diagnose your under-eye bags so that a proper treatment plan can be formulated. See how it works below!
Undergoing The Botox® Test
In order to find the root cause of your malar mounds, Dr. Asaadi will carefully inject a small amount of Botox® into the orbicularis oculi, also known as the muscle around your eye. One possible cause is the presence of excess fat around the eye and upper cheek, which is causing your puffy appearance. Another possible reason for the occurrence of malar bags is muscle laxity around the eye that leads to sagging skin around the area.
If your Botox® injection causes your malar mounds to temporarily get worse, then this is a sign that your under-eye bags are caused by muscle laxity. However, if there is no change in the appearance of your festoons after your Botox® Test, then this shows that your condition is caused by excess fat around the eye.
Upon finding the reason for your under-eye bags, Dr. Asaadi can then formulate a proper treatment plan to improve the appearance of these issues. The Botox® Test is an important tool in the correction of malar mounds and festoons. Here at Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we aim to provide solutions to these issues that yield natural-looking results, as well as inspire confidence.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about malar bags and festoons, as well as our Botox® treatments. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, our New York office at 212-938-0158, or you may request an appointment online today!
