Do people comment on how tired or aged you look despite getting a good night’s sleep? Even if you’re getting enough rest, this may fail to produce a more rejuvenated appearance. A likely reason for this is the presence of puffiness or hollowness around the eyelids. Many patients suffering from drooping eyelids worry that their appearance causes them to look older and more worn than they feel. In some cases, sagging eyelids may even interfere with vision. The lower blepharoplasty procedure can tighten lower eyelids and relocate fat from those areas—resulting in a more rejuvenated appearance around the eyes!
During your lower blepharoplasty procedure, your plastic surgeon will reposition fat around your eyelids to smooth under-eye bags and folds, as well as correct any fatty deposits. Traditionally, excess skin is removed in order to smooth the appearance of your eyes, but this may result in an unnatural or uneven look. Thanks to some of the most innovative technology available, the lower blepharoplasty procedure can be performed while removing the minimal amount of skin from your eyelids. Your plastic surgeon will carefully tighten the layers of the lower lids and correct puffiness or hollowing, while avoiding removing any skin below your eyelashes.
You will be advised on proper recovery after your procedure. Unlike other treatment options, like Juvederm, which temporarily relieves the appearance of lower bags and wrinkles, a lower blepharoplasty achieves permanent results and can address even the most severe cases. Any scarring from the procedure will eventually fade to a thin line that is practically unnoticeable, while you can continue to enjoy a more youthful and refreshed look for years to come!
The lower blepharoplasty is a technical procedure and should only be performed by an experienced plastic surgeon. If done improperly, the procedure can cause a retraction in the lower eyelid. Dr. Asaadi has a wealth of experience performing a variety of cosmetic procedures and provides personalized care to suit each patient’s needs.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about our lower blepharoplasty procedure, as well as any of our other facial rejuvenation procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, or you may request an appointment online today!

The muscles of the neck begin to loosen with age. As these muscle fibers become lax, they have a tendency to sag. This drooping effect can cause aesthetic concerns, including the unsightly condition known as “turkey neck.” At Asaadi Plastic Surgery in New Jersey, Dr. Asaadi is dedicated to correcting aesthetic conditions to improve your look, health, and well-being.
We want you to feel confident in your appearance! That’s why Dr. Asaadi offers the Corset Platysmaplasty procedure for tightening laxity in the neck.
A Corset Platysmaplasty is the most effective surgery for correcting neck muscles associated with aging. Unlike traditional neck lift procedures, this treatment tightens your neck muscles in addition to removing excess skin and fat!
The tightening effect creates a more defined and lasting profile immediately, as you are shaping the very foundation of your neck. The Corset Platysmaplasty procedure offers fast results, and you can see the transformation as soon as you leave treatment! Noticeable results continue for one to three months.
Don’t let the physical toll of aging take away from your self-confidence. Dr. Asaadi strives to help patients look and feel their best, so they can take pride in their appearance! Consider a Corset Platysmaplasty to add youthfulness and definiton to your neck.

Diagnosing malar bags and festoons can be extremely difficult. These conditions, also known as severe under-eye bags, are persistent and problematic; they can prevent you from feeling confident in your appearance and expressing your true emotions. Luckily, Dr. Asaadi has developed a system for testing the source of these troublesome facial issues using Botox injections!
The Botox Test
Dr. Asaadi's Botox Test is designed to diagnose the causes of malar bags and festoons. Since these conditions can have multiple causes, it is crucial to know what’s creating them in order to formulate a proper treatment plan. By injecting Botox into the muscle around the eyes (known as the orbicularis oculi), Dr. Asaadi can indicate whether your condition is being caused by excess fat or by a loss of tightness and tone in the muscle. If your festoons or malar bags worsen after the injection, this indicates that aging in the muscle has led to laxity around the eyes and upper cheeks. However, if the Botox injection doesn’t alter the appearance of your malar bags or festoons, then your condition is being caused by localized fat. Upon diagnosing the cause of your issue, Dr. Asaadi can then formulate a treatment plan.
Festoons and malar bags can be extremely troublesome issues. They can strip you of your confidence and make you self-conscious about your appearance. Dr. Asaadi is dedicated to finding innovative methods to fit your individual needs. What works for one patient may not be the solution for another. Dr. Asaadi strives to make every patient feel comfortable in his or her own skin. The Botox Test is another step in ensuring you receive the proper treatment for your condition.
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, or you may request an appointment online today!

Here at Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we aim to find new and innovative ways to help you look younger and feel more confident in your appearance. Dr. Asaadi is a pioneer in the field of plastic surgery and is constantly improving upon surgical techniques to produce better, more natural-looking results. His unique procedure—the wedge excision for the lower lip—is a unique method of plastic surgery. The excision is meant to correct the loss of tone to help those suffering from an ectropion of the lower lip.
Patients who have display an ectropion of the lower lip often have difficulty speaking, eating, smiling and feeling normal. The wedge excision can address these physical and emotional issues, thus improving your overall confidence in yourself, as well as your quality of life.
When an ectropion of the lip occurs, the inside of the bottom lip points outward, instead of inward. In order to correct this ectropion, Dr. Asaadi will create a wedge excision in the middle of the lower lip; this will turn the lip back inward to its proper position on the face.
The wedge excision is done under local anesthesia and the recovery time is minimal—lasting only a few days. The scar will fade over time and is hardly visible after three weeks, so you will enjoy a shapely lip without extensive downtime or noticeable scarring.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about your condition, and we can help determine if the wedge excision procedure for the lower lip can address your facial deformity. We also offer many other facial rejuvenation procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, or you may request an appointment online today!

As we approach the middle of winter, the warm summer seems so far away. Before you know it, however, it’ll be time to hit the beach and show off your physique. Why not begin your quest for that summer body ahead of time? Many patients take advantage of the winter season, as you’ll need multiple layers of clothes to ward off the cold weather and these layers can help hide healing during recovery.
One way to get your body ready for summer is MAsterTuck. MAstertuck is a patented body sculpting procedure performed exclusively by Dr. Asaadi using the VASER® Lipo System. MAstertuck tackles excess fat deposits in stubborn areas. While other bodysculpting procedures rely on invasive incisions to remove excess skin, MAstertuck allows for significant skin retraction without the cuts—leaving the area with a smooth shape and scar-free surface.
How Do I Know if MAsterTuckSM is Right for Me?
MAstertuck should not be seen as a method to remove large areas of fat. Instead, the ideal candidate will have localized fatty areas that have persisted despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Such areas may include the abdominals, back, and flanks. MAstertuck is usually performed in under four hours and requires no excision of excess skin! This procedure has a very high patient satisfaction rate.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff at Asaadi Plastic Surgery welcome any questions you may have about our MAsterTuck procedure. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, or you may request an appointment online today!
