Rhinoplasty, often referred to as nose surgery, can improve nose size and shape to enhance facial symmetry. The nose is among your most prominent facial features, and slight bumps or asymmetries can have a noticeable effect on your profile. Rhinoplasty is designed to surgically enhance the aesthetics of your nose to achieve natural-looking facial rejuvenation results. Additionally, nose surgery can be used for reconstructive purposes. Learn more about this innovative procedure below!
What Issues Can Rhinoplasty Address?
When performing rhinoplasty, our New Jersey plastic surgeon can target imbalances around the nose tip, bridge, or nostrils. The nose can be widened or narrowed, and bumps can be smoothed. The angle of your nose can also be improved with nose surgery. Additionally, patients who are suffering from breathing problems caused by genetics or past facial trauma can opt for rhinoplasty to relieve these issues.
Which Type Of Rhinoplasty Is Right For Me?
There are three types of rhinoplasty: open, closed, and revision. During closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are placed inside of the nose, as opposed to open rhinoplasty, which requires an additional incision across the columella (the tissue found at the base of the nostrils). Revision nose surgery is reserved for patients who have underwent a previous rhinoplasty procedure and are not satisfied with their results. Your rhinoplasty surgeon will discuss which surgical option is best for you.
What Kind Of Results Can I Expect?
Rhinoplasty can achieve long-lasting improvements to the shape and proportions of your nose. Patients usually return to work or school within a week of their nose surgery and can expect to see results in the coming months.

Otoplasty, also known as ear reshaping, can address misshapen or asymmetrical ears caused by genetics or previous trauma. Ears that are overly-large, extend too far outward, or are uneven may be areas of concern for patients. Younger children may be self-conscious of their ears, especially while in a school setting with their peers. Teenagers and adults may opt for otoplasty, as well. At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, our New Jersey plastic surgeon specializes in ear reshaping to reduce the prominence of ears and achieve natural-looking results.
During ear surgery, the ears are carefully reshaped. Your plastic surgeon will place incisions behind the ears and sculpt the cartilage. Excess cartilage can be removed, if necessary, and remaining cartilage will be repositioned closer to the head to improve the appearance of outward-pointing ears. Though otoplasty can be performed on one ear, this procedure usually targets both ears in order to assure a balanced appearance.
Ear reshaping can bring about long-lasting improvements to your facial profile. Head dressings are worn in the days following your otoplasty procedure to ensure optimal healing. Patients begin to see improvements to the shape and contours of their ears immediately following surgery.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about otoplasty, as well as any of our other facial rejuvenation procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, our New York office at 212-938-0158, or you may request an appointment online today!

One of the top problem areas for patients who have given birth is the midsection. The effects of pregnancy tend to stretch abdominal muscles, leading to bulging around the stomach. Abdominal muscles may also become weakened due to substantial fluctuations in your weight. Once stretched, these muscles cannot be tightened or repaired through traditional diet and exercise methods. At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, our New Jersey plastic surgeon offers CORE Abdominoplasty to surgically tighten stomach muscles for a firmer-looking midsection.
What Is CORE Abdominoplasty?
CORE Abdominoplasty is an innovative tummy tuck procedure to address abdominal bulging. During this technique, stomach muscles are carefully tightened and brought closer together. Small amounts of loose or excess skin can also be repositioned and removed, if necessary, to achieve a flatter-looking midsection.
How Is CORE Abdominoplasty Different From A Tummy Tuck?
Unlike traditional tummy tuck surgery, CORE Abdominoplasty utilizes a special technique known as the Table Tilt Test. This procedure identifies additional bulging around the midsection by putting the patient in a sitting position, as opposed to lying flat. Once any bulging is identified, your plastic surgeon can address these effects through surgery.
What Kind Of Results Can I Expect?
You can expect long-lasting improvements to the waistline after undergoing CORE Abdominoplasty. This innovative body contouring technique can produce a flatter, natural-looking midsection for those who have experienced pregnancy or substantial weight fluctuations. CORE Abdominoplasty is not meant to address large amounts of abdominal fat and ideal patients for this procedure are in relatively good health.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about CORE Abdominoplasty, as well as any of our other body contouring procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, our New York office at 212-938-0158, or you may request an appointment online today!

A slender, graceful pair of arms is among the most coveted physical attributes. However, numerous factors can take away from arm definition. As you age, your skin begins to loose firmness and become more lax. This can lead to sagging skin around the upper and lower arms. Weight loss can also contribute to drooping arm skin, as excess skin is often left behind after losing a large amount of weight. Arm lift surgery, also referred to as brachioplasty, targets lax arm skin to promote a tighter appearance and restore natural-looking arm contours. Additionally, patients may suffer from small pockets of stubborn arm fat that are difficult to reduce with diet or exercise. Liposuction can be utilized alongside arm lift surgery to remove excess fat and achieve firmer contours. Both male and female patients can undergo brachioplasty and liposuction at Asaadi Plastic Surgery for long-lasting improvements to the arms.
Reshape The Arms!
During your arm lift, sagging skin is carefully redraped and repositioned to tighten the arms. Excess skin can be removed during your procedure, if necessary, to add firmness. Brachioplasty can also eliminate “bat wings,” or hanging skin around the triceps that covers up arm definition.
Remove Excess Fat!
Liposuction can be combined with brachioplasty to further accentuate arm contours. During arm liposuction, small deposits of stubborn fat are broken up and extracted from the upper and lower arms using tiny cannulas. Opting for arm liposuction along with arm lift surgery can achieve shapelier, proportional arms. These treatments are designed to achieve long-lasting body contouring improvements.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about arm lift surgery and liposuction, as well as any of our other body contouring procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, our New York office at 212-938-0158, or you may request an appointment online today!

For patients who have undergone a facial rejuvenation procedure in the past, it is important to maintain results in order to sustain a youthful-looking appearance. Regular touch-ups with cosmetic fillers can guard against fine lines, hollowing, or wrinkles caused by aging and sun exposure. These non-surgical injectables temporarily restore volume to different areas of the face, enhancing the results of a previous facial rejuvenation treatment for years to come, including a facelift, neck lift, eyelid surgery, brow lift, rhinoplasty, or facial implants.
How Do Cosmetic Fillers Work?
Cosmetic fillers are made from a naturally-occurring substance known as hyaluronic acid. These injectables are carefully injected into facial areas that have lost volume or definition to add fullness. Cosmetic fillers can smooth fine lines, improve the appearance of hollows, and reduce facial folds that form naturally over time. In addition to hyaluronic acid-based fillers, Botox® can be utilized to improve facial wrinkling; this substance is made from botulinum toxin and stops nerve impulses by relaxing facial muscles.
What Types Of Cosmetic Fillers Are Available?
There are a variety of cosmetic injectables available to treat specific facial conditions. Juvederm®, Restylane®, Voluma®, and Belotero® are all hyaluronic acid fillers that can achieve youthful-looking results. Botox® is another option to maintain natural-looking volume.
What Areas Can Cosmetic Fillers Treat?
Cosmetic fillers can treat the upper, mid, and lower facial regions. Fine lines and facial furrows around the brows and eyelids can be corrected, as can hollowing around the mid-face. Injectables can also reduce smile lines and wrinkles above the lips. Patients suffering from a loss of jawline definition can undergo treatment with dermal fillers to enhance contours, as well.
What Is Treatment Like?
Cosmetic injectables are a completely non-invasive treatment option, meaning there is no surgery involved. Fillers are carefully injected into the treatment area(s) in less than a half hour. There is no downtime associated and patients can resume daily activities upon completing their procedure.
How Many Treatments Do I Need?
After undergoing your cosmetic filler treatment, you can expect to see results in the following days. Results usually last 6 months to a year. Follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain your youthful-looking results.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about cosmetic fillers or Botox®, as well as any of our other facial rejuvenation procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, our New York office at 212-938-0158, or you may request an appointment online today!
