Cosmetic fillers are a popular choice among patients looking to add facial volume and fill lines. As we begin to age, factors such as sun exposure and repeated movement of facial muscles contribute to wrinkles and a loss of facial fullness. When it comes to looking younger, patients may choose to explore the benefits of cosmetic fillers and natural fat transfer.
Fill Wrinkles And Add Volume With Cosmetic Fillers!
Cosmetic fillers can fill creases, volumize sunken areas, and add fullness to the cheeks, eyelids, lips and face. Fillers like Juvederm®, Voluma®, and Belotero® utilize hyaluronic acid—a substance found naturally in the body—to provide natural-looking results with a simple, minimally-invasive injection. There is no downtime associated with cosmetic fillers and you are free to resume daily activities immediately after treatment. Additionally, results are achieved upon injection and can last up to 1-2 years. Advantages like these make Juvederm®, Voluma®, and Belotero® treatments some of the most commonly-requested procedures. Your plastic surgeon will evaluate your facial features to plan the best course of action for your desired results.
Use Natural Fat To Add Fullness!
Did you know you can fill facial areas and minimize wrinkles using your body’s natural fat? Fat transfer injections can volumize hollowed cheeks or lips and fill wrinkles around the nose, mouth, or forehead. First, your plastic surgeon will treat both the donor and receipient areas with local anesthesia to ensure minimal discomfort during your fat transfer. Fat cells will then be extracted from a donor location with small amounts of excess fat—potential areas include your buttocks, thighs, or abdomen. Next, this fat is injected into the desired facial area in one simple procedure. Slight redness and bruising may occur after treatment—this is normal and your symptoms should subside within days. Results can last from 6 months to over a year.
Cosmetic fillers and fat transfer injections can help achieve and more youthful-looking, rejuvenated appearance. See which options may be right for you by looking at the chart below.

Migraine headaches are extremely painful. Symptoms like sudden pain, intense nausea, and vomiting can last for hours during an attack. Not only do these headaches cause physical pain, but they also affect your daily life—disrupting your plans at any given moment.
Here at Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we are dedicated to finding innovative solutions that improve your quality of life and inspire confidence in yourself. Dr. Asaadi’s pressure test is designed to properly diagnose the cause of your migraine so an individualized and effective treatment plan can be applied.
During the pressure test, Dr. Asaadi will test four trigger points on your face: your two temples, the area above your eyebrow, and your nose. In order to do so, a saline solution will be injected into these pressure points. If you develop a headache after the injection, this determines that pressure to the surrounding nerves is causing your migraine.
After diagnosing the cause of your migraine, Dr. Asaadi can then treat the surrounding muscles to release pressure on that nerve and prevent future migraines from occurring. The following patient was suffering from severe migraines twice a month, in addition to daily headaches. She also experienced frequent nausea and vomiting as a result. After visiting Dr. Asaadi and undergoing a pressure test, she received proper treatment that cured her of her migraines! You can view her story below:
