As moms, we often prioritize the needs of our families over our own, but it's essential to take time for self-care and embrace the opportunity to enhance our confidence and well-being. Mother’s Day is a reminder of the incredible journey of motherhood but also a time to reflect on and treat ourselves. If you feel that the physical changes brought about by pregnancy and motherhood are impacting your self-confidence, and you wish to reclaim your pre-pregnancy curves, it might be the right time to consider a Mommy Makeover.
Following pregnancy, there are many physical changes to the body that can take a toll on a new mother’s body. This includes sagging breasts, unwanted excess skin and fat, cellulite, and stretch marks. It can be difficult to restore your figure prior to giving birth, even when executing healthy habits such as exercising and eating right.
At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer the mommy makeover procedure. A mommy makeover is a combination of body contouring procedures that can target the upper, mid, or lower body. This procedure is highly customized to suit the needs, goals, and desires of each individual patient.
Mommy makeover can include combination procedures and treatments such as tummy tuck, liposuction, breast enhancement, vaginal rejuvenation, skin care, and more. In many cases, the selected procedures can be performed during one session, reducing the necessary downtime required following surgery.
What Are My Mommy Makeover Options?
Tummy Tuck
Tummy Tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, can tighten weakened abdominal muscles and lax skin to improve the appearance of the midsection. Loose skin, excess fat, and stretch marks can be addressed with tummy tuck surgery, providing patients with a natural-looking contoured waistline.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation can improve the appearance of the breasts by altering the size and shape to restore the natural contours of the breasts. Breast augmentation utilizes breast implants to recreate fuller, more shapely breasts following a loss of volume from pregnancy or breast feeding.
Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery can restore the appearance of sagging, drooping breasts by repositioning the breasts to a more youthful and lifted position. Breast lift can enhance the size and shape or the breasts by removing excess skin and tissue for shapelier breasts.
Liposuction
Liposuction can precisely remove stubborn fat to provide a more contoured appearance to different areas of the body. Liposuction can target the abdomen, thighs, waist, legs, hips, and more to achieve a toned, sculpted physique. During mommy makeover, liposuction is often combined with tummy tuck to tighten and tone the midsection.

New season, new skin! Refresh your skin this spring and start the season off with your best face forward. Dr. Asaadi and his team can perform non-invasive treatments and utilize cosmetic fillers to help you achieve a rejuvenated and revitalized glow without undergoing any invasive surgeries or procedures.
Cosmetic Fillers
Cosmetic fillers can provide patients with a younger-looking appearance by combatting wrinkles, fine lines, and creases, adding volume to the facial profile. Cosmetic fillers are injected beneath the skin to add volume to areas of the face that may have become sunken or hollowed with age. Certain fillers are utilized to reshape the lips or cheeks, for a fuller, more plump appearance.
Learn more about our cosmetic fillers below!
Juvéderm®: a dermal filler that can provide natural-looking, fuller facial features to reduce the appearance of aging. Juvéderm® can treat wrinkles, facial folds, fine lines, marionette lines, nasolabial folds, furrowed brows, thinning lips, hollowed cheeks, and crow’s feet.
Belotero®: a non-invasive wrinkle treatment that can provide more natural, subtle results. Belotero® can help restore a younger-looking appearance by softening and lightening folds, facial lines, and creases, while volumizing hollowed under eyes.
Voluma®: a cosmetic injectable that lifts and shapes the cheeks. Voluma® is injected into the deepest layers of the skin and muscle to combat a loss of volume due to aging, and contour hollowed cheeks. Voluma® is a long-lasting solution for enhancing your facial profile.
Volbella®: a soft, gel consistency cosmetic injectable designed to add volume to the lips and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth. Volbella® can redefine and reshape the lips for a more youthful look. Volbella® can treat fine lines, wrinkles, and folds created from the repeated movements from smiling, frowning, or laughing over time.
Non-Invasive Treatments
Non-invasive treatments are non-surgical procedures that are designed to rejuvenate and refresh your appearance without undergoing lengthy surgeries. These treatment options are smaller procedures that can provide natural-looking results and achieve an enhanced overall appearance without extensive downtime.
Microneedling with PRP: a skin care treatment that can stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin to improve skin tone and maintain a healthy, glowing complexion. Microneedling with PRP (platelet rich plasma) mainly targets the face, neck, and arms and can provide long-lasting, regenerative results.
Hydrafacial®: a non-invasive dermabrasion skin resurfacing method that can improve fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture, enlarged pores, lack of elasticity, and more. Hydrafacial® is a combination of cleansing, extracting, and hydrating to soothe, moisturize, and rejuvenate the skin for a radiant, glowing complexion.

Your eyes are often one of the first features people may notice about your face. As the natural course of aging occurs, your eyes can begin to make you appear older than you actually are, due to sagging skin, undereye bags, puffiness, and more. Drooping eyelids, excess skin, festoons, and fine lines are all common concerns regarding the appearance of the eyes. The condition of puffiness and excess skin around the eyes can also interfere with your ability to see clearly. These concerns can be combatted with a variety of surgical and non-surgical eyelid treatments and plastic surgery. At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer traditional Blepharoplasty, Festoon surgery, Upneeq®, and Young eye rejuvenation as treatment options for the eyes. Learn more about our eye procedures below!
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a procedure that can be performed on the upper or lower eyelids. Upper eyelid surgery can treat sagging and drooping eyelids due to excess skin, fat, and tissue. Lower eyelid surgery can be performed to treat the appearance of undereye bags and wrinkles. Eyelid surgery can restore a youthful and refreshed appearance around the eyes.
Festoon Surgery
Festoons are the puffy bags that sit under the eye and above the cheeks, and are a very prominent sign of facial aging. Festoons can be caused by excess fat or lax muscles beneath the skin. Festoon surgery can improve the appearance of festoons by removing the excess fat from the lower eyelids stabilizing the lax muscles.
Upneeq®
Upneeq® is a non-surgical treatment that can be used to combat drooping eyelids. Drooping eyelids, also known as ptosis, can obstruct your vision and affect your appearance as well. Upneeq® is a daily eye drop that lifts the eyelids, improves vision, and does not require surgery or extensive recovery periods. Upneeq® can achieve refreshed eyes and clear vision that starts working with the first treatment.
Young Eye Rejuvenation
Young eye rejuvenation is the non-surgical blepharoplasty technique you’ll find at Asaadi Plastic Surgery. Young eye rejuvenation utilizes Botox® injections and cosmetic fillers to carefully correct the appearance of crow’s feet, fine lines, and wrinkles around the eye. This technique allows for the upper and lower eyelids to be treated without surgery, and can immediately lift the eyes for a brighter, more refreshed appearance and youthful-looking eyes.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff are happy to answer any questions you may have about surgical and nonsurgical eyelid rejuvenation, as well as any of our other procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 913.731.7000, our New York office at 212.938.0158, or you may request an appointment online today!

SKINVIVE™ helps to reduce the appearance of dry, dull skin, and combat the signs of facial aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture, enlarged pores, and more.
The SKINVIVE™ injectable is comprised of hyaluronic acid microdroplets, which is a substance that is found naturally in the body.

How Does SKINVIVE™ Work?
SKINVIVE™ is injected just below the surface of the skin, targeting specific areas of facial tissue. SKINVIVE™ is a minimally-invasive procedure due to the treatment being administered below, but very close to the skin’s surface. This technique allows for SKINVIVE™ to target larger treatment areas. Following the injection, water can easily flow between the skin cells, encouraging increased hydration and smoothing effects. During your SKINVIVE™ treatment, patients can expect little-to-no pain as numbing with a topical anesthetic is administered prior to your SKINVIVE™ injection. Following your SKINVIVE™ injection, redness, bruising, and swelling may occur around the injection site.

During the long winter months, we stay indoors and out of the cold, and we bundle up to keep ourselves warm and unexposed to the elements. These winter months are an ideal time to take advantage of undergoing body contouring procedures, giving you plenty of recovery time before the summer approaches.
At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer a variety of body contouring procedures that can help treat the unwanted, stubborn pockets of fat and excess skin that can be challenging to get rid of, even when exercise and healthy lifestyle choices are being made. Body contouring can enhance the natural contours of the body and achieve a more defined figure.
Common body contouring procedures include tummy tuck surgery, liposuction, MAsterTuck℠, and CORE Abdominoplasty℠. These procedures can achieve a more sculpted and toned figure and provide a natural-looking transformation to the patient’s current physique. Learn more about these body contouring procedures that can help you fulfill your desired body sculpting goals!
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, is most commonly performed following pregnancy or significant weight loss to remove loose, sagging skin from the abdomen and tighten weakened abdominal muscles. The appearance of stretch marks, excess fat, and the contours of the body can be improved with tummy tuck surgery, resulting in a slimmer waistline.
Liposuction
Liposuction can enhance the contours of the body through techniques that target and eliminate unwanted fat along the midsection, arms, thighs, face, neck, and more. Liposuction can improve the proportions of your body profile and produce natural-looking results, leading to a more sculpted and toned figure. There are multiple liposuction techniques, including VASER® LipoSelection, super-wet liposuction, and more. Dr. Asaadi can help determine which type of liposuction is right for you.
MAsterTuck℠
MAsterTuck℠ is a liposuction technique that can sculpt the body by removing excess fat around the midsection to achieve natural-looking results. Patented and solely performed by Dr. Asaadi, this procedure targets fat deposits around the abdomen, flanks, and back. MAsterTuck℠ differs from traditional liposuction, as it does not leave lax skin following the procedure, but rather tightens the skin for a firmer overall appearance.
CORE Abdominoplasty℠
CORE Abdominoplasty℠ is performed by positioning patients at a 45-degree angle to allow Dr. Asaadi to discover where the abdominal muscles have weakened and where the skin has become lax, leading to bulging. Once the problem areas are identified, the CORE Abdominoplasty℠ procedure can provide patients with tighter, more defined abdominal muscles, as well as smoother skin and a slimmer silhouette.
