Opting for facial rejuvenation during the winter months can result in a beautiful look come summertime. Many patients take advantage of the long winter by undergoing plastic surgery in preparation for the warmer months. Patients often choose to combine different facial rejuvenation techniques for youthful-looking, balanced results. At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer a variety of facial surgery options at our New Jersey office, as well as at our new location in New York City! Below are some commonly-requested procedures that can achieve a younger-looking you.
Facelift & Necklift
Combining a facelift and necklift can ensure a youthful facial profile. Facelift surgery can improve the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and correcting loose or sagging facial skin. While facelift surgery can achieve a younger-looking appearance, an aged neck can continue to lead to an older, worn facial profile. Undergoing necklift surgery targets troublesome neck bands and lax neck skin to promote a contoured neckline. Your plastic surgeon can also tighten underlying muscles and lift loose skin to a more youthful position with a necklift.
Forehead Lift & Blepharoplasty
Patients undergoing a forehead lift can target drooping brows and excess forehead skin that results in an older-looking, furrowed appearance. Horizontal forehead lines can be improved by repositioning forehead tissues and removing loose skin. Patients can also opt for blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, to target the puffy under-eye bags or drooping eyelids. Correcting these conditions can improve the appearance of tired eyes for a refreshed look.
Facial Implants For The Cheeks, Jaw, & Chin
A variety of facial implants can be utilized to improve facial definition and symmetry. Correct gaunt cheek hollows and provide fullness to the midface with cheek implants, or add long-lasting contours to the jawline and chin with chin implants. These implants come in different sizes and shapes to complement your individual profile. Your plastic surgeon can help you determine what is best for your individual procedure goals and desires.
Rhinoplasty
In some cases, simply correcting nose asymmetries can lead to an enhanced facial profile. Nose surgery can improve nostril size, smooth bumps around the nose bridge, and correct the angle of your nose. Rhinoplasty is also utilized to correct breathing issues, such as a deviated septum. Patients often choose rhinoplasty to correct nose imbalances, bringing the nose into balance with the rest of the facial profile.

The abdominals are one of the most troublesome areas for those trying to sculpt a firm physique. Even after consistently watching what you eat and training hard at the gym, those final layers of flab around the stomach may remain; whether this is due to factors such as age, genetics, or the effects of pregnancy depends on the individual patient. However, there are various body contouring solutions that can tighten abdominal muscles and remove excess skin from around the midsection in order to sculpt a flatter, firmer tummy.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, can surgically tighten abdominal muscles by removing excess skin and fat around the stomach and repositioning stomach muscles to create a firm abdominal wall. Tummy tucks are ideal for patients struggling to lose those remaining layers of stubborn belly fat, even after consistent diet and exercise. Additionally, women who have endured pregnancy often have stretched stomach muscles that cannot be tightened through traditional methods. Tummy tuck surgery can tighten these areas for a firmer stomach and waistline to provide long-lasting results.
CORE Abdominoplasty
Patients suffering from loose or stretched abdominal muscles may benefit from CORE Abdominoplasty. This surgical procedure can result in a firmer abdominal profile by combining a tummy tuck with a unique technique known as the “Table Tilt Test.” During this portion of the CORE Abdominoplasty procedure, Dr. Asaadi will raise the operating table to a 45° angle in order to identify and correct any bulging that may occur when the patient is upright. The CORE Abdominoplasty technique allows for more precise results than traditional abdominoplasty procedures in which the patient is simply lying flat. Women who have stretched stomach muscles as a result of pregnancy, as well as patients whose abdominal muscles have weakened over time, can benefit from CORE Abdominoplasty.
MAsterTuck
MAsterTuck is a specialized truncal liposuction procedure targeting the abdominals, flanks, and back. MAsterTuck can effectively remove small pockets of localized fat while also tightening skin all in one procedure. MAsterTuck utilizes the VASER® LipoSelection system to separate fat cells for removal. VASER® is a minimally invasive form of liposuction—making MAsterTuck an ideal liposuction option for patients looking to minimize downtime and recovery after undergoing their body contouring procedure. Those looking to eliminate stubborn layers of fat or flabby skin from the belly, flanks, or back, can opt for MAsterTuck to achieve significant skin tightening and fat removal results.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about tummy tuck surgery, CORE Abdominoplasty, and MAsterTuck, as well as any of our other body contouring procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, or you may request an appointment online today!

Ultherapy® is an FDA-approved procedure that uses ultrasound energy to firm up facial tissues without the need for surgery or excessive downtime. This non-invasive treatment is designed to lift tissues around the brow, face, or neck to create a tightening effect. Here’s 5 reasons why you should consider Ultherapy® this fall for a more youthful facial profile:
1.) Promotes Tightening And Encourages Collagen Production
Ultherapy® uses sound waves that penetrate below the skin’s surface to deliver heat to the deeper levels of the skin. The energy being delivered stimulates natural collagen growth in the body—leading to a firming effect that results in a younger, healthy-looking appearance.
2.) Quick and Convenient Treatment
Ultherapy® treatments are performed in the comfort of our office. Your plastic surgeon will utilize cutting-edge ultrasound technology to precisely direct treatment to the targeted areas in a 30-60 minute procedure. Most patients see results that can last up to 2-3 months after one Ultherapy® treatment.
3.) Non-invasive Procedure Without Scarring Or Downtime
Since Ultherapy® uses sound waves to promote tightening, there are no stitches or scarring associated with this non-surgical procedure. Patients can resume daily activities immediately after their Ultherapy® treatment. There may be some mild redness, tenderness, or swelling for a few days afterwards; these effects are normal and should subside in about a week.
4.) Can Be Used On Every Skin Type
Worried if Ultherapy® is right for your skin? This non-invasive procedure can be used on every skin type, including sensitive skin! Since Ultherapy® focuses on the deeper layers of the skin, your cells that determine skin pigment are also unaffected by the procedure.
5.) Treats Multiple Areas
Ultherapy® can treat multiple areas! Patients looking to lift skin around the brow, chin, or neck may be candidates for this procedure.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about Ultherapy®, as well as any of our other cosmetic treatments. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, or you may request an appointment online today!

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.

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!
