At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we’re thankful to have the opportunity to make our patients look and feel better about themselves. Reconstructive surgery offers that opportunity to many individuals, helping achieve a rediscovered look of beauty and confidence.
One of our patients came to Dr. Asaadi after suffering from nasal cancer and malar bags. After an initial evaluation, Dr. Asaadi was able to remove the cancer and reconstruct her nose using a forehead flap. The procedure utilized a section of tissue between her eyebrows and hairline to reconstruct her nose. In combination with the forehead flap, the patient received a short-scar foreheadplasty to remove sagging and wrinkles from her forehead region. Dr. Asaadi also addressed the malar bags underneath her eyes by performing a procedure called blepharoplasty, helping to give the patient an alert, rejuvenated appearance. Additionally, the patient’s corrugator muscle, a muscle between the brows responsible for permanent frowning, was removed to give the face a younger appearance, in addition to her reconstructed, cancer-free nose. Check out her results!

This Halloween, treat yourself to some facial rejuvenation tricks! At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer non-invasive techniques such as Ultherapy, Botox and dermal fillers to tighten skin and diminish wrinkles. Using these incision-free procedures, Dr. Asaadi is able to revive the youth in your face without the use of scalpels or sutures, plus they’re downtime free, which means you can resume your normal activities immediately!
So this Halloween, when others are dressing up as princesses and seductresses, celebrate the holiday dressed as the most beautiful one of all, yourself!
Ultherapy
This ultrasound treatment is completely painless. Targeting sagging skin in the face, brow and neck, Ultherapy uses direct sound waves to tighten skin and tissue. Your skin will appear firmer and “lifted.” Ultherapy is different from other treatments because it is the only treatment available that treats not only the skin, but deeper, underlying tissues. Ultherapy takes only 30 to 40 minutes to complete and results will be seen immediately, with improvements occurring for two to three months after treatment. Check out the results!
Botox
This popular cosmetic injectable eliminates wrinkles. Lasting 3 to 4 months, Botox relaxes the muscles in your face that cause fine lines, leading to a smoother, more refreshed expression. Botox treatment is completed in minutes, and pain is minimal. Results from Botox can be seen within 3 days after injections, with full results noticeable in 2 weeks. Check out the results!
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers, such as Juvederm, Voluma XC, Restylane, and Belotero, are all composed of hyaluronic acid, a natural sugar found in the body. These fillers all treat specific areas of the face, targeting either fine lines, wrinkles or hollows. Each filler is temporary, lasting anywhere from 6 months to two years, depending on the filler and your individual case. Fillers can replicate the results of a facelift without the downtime or invasiveness.
Play tricks on the mirror this Halloween when receiving non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatments with Dr. Asaadi! We welcome any questions you may have about non-surgical treatments for facial rejuvenation. Contact our NJ office at 973.731.7000 or request your appointment online today.

Your brows express a variety of emotions, including anger, depression, surprise, and tiredness. If these expression lines have become a permanent fixture on your face, you may be experiencing premature signs of aging caused by eyebrow descent. These lines may appear between the eyebrows, horizontally on the forehead, or at the bridge of the nose. Oftentimes, these lines are mistaken for excess skin. To treat plunging eyebrows, our plastic surgeon recommends a foreheadplasty.
A foreheadplasty, commonly referred to as a brow lift, elevates sagging brows into an ideal position, regaining your youthful appearance and removing predated expressions. Advances in the medical field have allowed plastic surgeons to perform this procedure endoscopically.
This technique, also known as a short-scar foreheadplasty, allows for an invisible scar recovery. The procedure uses small incisions within the hair to reposition the brow. The new positioning is held in place with stitches, and after a few weeks the skin will naturally reattach itself to a lifted position. When Dr. Asaadi performs the procedure, he often cuts the corrugator muscle (located at the medial end of the eyebrow) to relax the apperance of frowning. An endoscopic procedure is ideal for correcting a very low brow and can also improve deep lines between the eyebrows and above the nose.
The differences between bicoronal (traditional) foreheadplasty and an endoscopic (short-scar) foreheadplasty:
|
|
Bicoronal |
Endoscopic |
|
Scar |
A long scar that may stretch will be visible post-surgery. |
Scarring is small, hidden by hairline, nearly invisible. |
|
Changes to Hairline |
Your hairline may appear elevated, hair loss is unlikely. |
It is uncommon to experience an elevation in your hairline, and hair loss is unlikely. |
|
Numbing in the Scalp |
Likely to occur. |
Not likely to occur. |
|
Recovery |
Post-op, there may be some bruising. Directly following surgery, you may have a surprised appearance. It may take 1-2 weeks to recovery although itching in the scalp many last for months. |
Bruising post-op is unlikely, and your results will look natural. |
|
Results |
Long-lasting. |

Migraines can take control of your life. Those who suffer from migraines report being curled in bed, unable to open their eyes, experiencing light and sound sensitivity, and these symptoms last up to twelve hours at a time. These symptoms are long-lasting, and those diagnosed with migraines are 40% more likely to develop depression.
The cause of migraines has been linked to blood vessel enlargement that releases chemicals to nerves. The chemical compression on the nerves causes chronic pain and inflammation. Recently, plastic surgeons have discovered a surgical treatment for migraines that will also help you look younger while feeling migraine relief.
Formally just a cosmetic procedure to lift eyebrows and smooth lines in your forehead, the forehead lift provides nerve decompression for your peripheral sensory nerves. With a few minor incisions, your plastic surgeon is able to eliminate trigger sites for your migraines by clipping nerves and removing muscles. The length of this outpatient procedure varies on the amount of trigger points that are treated.
The surgery has a 70% success rate, and patients report immediate results. After surgery, patients will also experience a younger, more rejuvenated look. The long term effects of this procedure are still being studied, and plastic surgeons are just beginning to understand the benefits of a forehead lift.
Surgical intervention for migraine treatments should be a last resort. Before deciding on a forehead lift for migraine treatment, you should speak with your doctor to ensure you’ve tried every other treatment option available. In certain cases, your surgical treatment for migraines may be approved by medical insurance.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about surgical treatments for migraines. Contact our NJ office at 973.731.7000 or request your appointment online today.

Do you struggle to find a bikini that fits your body? Unfortunately, bikinis are not one size fits all, and often, women may struggle with an unflattering appearance due to an ill-fitting bikini. Thankfully, fat grafting offers a natural boost for your bikini, will add volume, shape, and contours to both your breasts and buttocks. This will be the last summer you regret your bikini purchase after scheduling your breast or buttocks augmentation using fat grafting at Mokthar Asaadi M.D. F.A.C.S!
Fat grafting has a unique benefit over other methods of augmentation; it uses your own, natural fat. During a prior liposuction procedure, fat is extracted from other areas, such as the flanks or love handles. This not only helps sculpt and tone other troublesome areas of fat, but also supplies donor fat to use for augmentation. This fat, whether applied to the buttocks or breasts, feels more natural than implants.
Additionally, fat grafting can be customized to address the concerns of each patient. By transferring your own natural fat, you’re able to correct asymmetry, add additional contouring, and also increase size, if needed. Fat transfer also involves less risk than buttocks or breast implants, reducing the chance of an allergic reaction to a foreign material. It also eliminates the risk of an implant rupture or capsular contracture. The results after fat transfer to your buttocks or breasts is also permanent, unlike implants which usually require replacement after 10 years.
Fat grafting provides patients a safer, more natural choice for breast and buttock augmentation, allowing you to look great and feel confident in your bikini! Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about fat transfer in New Jersey. Contact our NJ office at 973.731.7000 or request your appointment online today.
