Did you know the eyes are among the first areas to display the signs of aging? Sagging brows, puffy under-eye bags, and frown lines may begin to appear around the eyes over time, due to aging, stress, lifestyle choices, or sun exposure. These effects can result in an older-looking, tired appearance. At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we provide brow lift surgery and blepharoplasty to rejuvenate the eyes by improving forehead furrows and drooping eyelids.
Lift Sagging Brows
Over time, the muscles and tissues around the forehead tend to sag downwards. A brow lift targets these forehead tissues that contribute to drooping brows and horizontal lines. During your brow lift procedure, small incisions are made to carefully reposition tissues, reducing the appearance of fine lines. Additionally, excess skin can be removed to address forehead wrinkling and provide a long-lasting lifting effect to the brows. For patients looking for a non-surgical alternative to a forehead lift, Botox® injections can be used to alter the position of the eyebrows. Botox® can relax forehead muscles by temporarily preventing nerve impulses, leading to a reduction in fine lines.
Contour The Eyelids
Blepharoplasty can address both the upper and lower eyelids for a rejuvenated expression. Upper blepharoplasty targets excess skin above the eyelids, as well as small amounts of fat. Your blepharoplasty surgeon will remove skin from the eyelids, while also trimming excess fat to reshape the lids.
Lower blepharoplasty takes aim at puffy under-eye bags and hollowing that may occur below the eyelids. Lower eyelid surgery tightens muscle and repositions fat pockets around the lower eyelid to restore a smooth appearance. Small amounts of excess skin can be removed, if necessary, to ensure natural-looking, youthful results.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about forehead lift or blepharoplasty, 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!

Under-eye bags often present aesthetic concerns for patients, as they can result in a tired or older-looking appearance. Two specific conditions—malar mounds and festoons—both present themselves as severe under-eye bags that can affect confidence in one’s look. At first glance, it is extremely difficult to tell the cause of these troublesome conditions.
As a result, Dr. Asaadi has pioneered the “Botox® Test” to discern the true cause of malar bags and festoons. Botox® is a cosmetic injectable that temporarily relaxes muscles and prevents nerve impulses. This simple test is used in order to correctly diagnose your under-eye bags so that a proper treatment plan can be formulated. See how it works below!
Undergoing The Botox® Test
In order to find the root cause of your malar mounds, Dr. Asaadi will carefully inject a small amount of Botox® into the orbicularis oculi, also known as the muscle around your eye. One possible cause is the presence of excess fat around the eye and upper cheek, which is causing your puffy appearance. Another possible reason for the occurrence of malar bags is muscle laxity around the eye that leads to sagging skin around the area.
If your Botox® injection causes your malar mounds to temporarily get worse, then this is a sign that your under-eye bags are caused by muscle laxity. However, if there is no change in the appearance of your festoons after your Botox® Test, then this shows that your condition is caused by excess fat around the eye.
Upon finding the reason for your under-eye bags, Dr. Asaadi can then formulate a proper treatment plan to improve the appearance of these issues. The Botox® Test is an important tool in the correction of malar mounds and festoons. Here at Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we aim to provide solutions to these issues that yield natural-looking results, as well as inspire confidence.
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, our New York office at 212-938-0158, or you may request an appointment online today!

Making the decision to lose a significant amount of weight is a substantial step in your journey to attaining a firmer physique. Further supplementing your weight loss with body contouring procedures can slim down areas of the body where sagging skin is present. After losing a significant amount of weight, excess skin is often left behind; this skin tends to sag and droop, masking your hard-earned results. Undergoing post bariatric surgery can remove and reposition excess skin for firm contours. Moreover, post bariatric surgery can achieve long-lasting results for patients. Below are some areas that post bariatric surgery can target.
Tighten The Midsection
Excess skin around the midsection can be corrected with tummy tuck surgery. During this procedure, sagging skin is removed and re-draped to promote a firmer-looking abdomen. Additionally, stomach muscles that have been stretched and weakened due to weight gain or pregnancy can be tightened with a tummy tuck to eliminate bulging.
Lift The Breasts
Weight loss may affect the size and shape of your breasts. Opting for a breast lift can restore youthful positioning to the breasts. Your NJ plastic surgeon can carefully raise the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening surrounding tissue. Breast lift surgery will also move the nipples and surrounding areolas to a higher position and correct nipple size for perkier-looking, proportional breasts.
Firm The Arms
The presence of lax skin around the upper arms is common after substantial weight loss. This can take away from arm definition, as drooping skin may cover up your musculature. An arm lift can re-drape loose arm skin to improve sagging for slimmer-looking, toned arms.
Contour The Thighs & Buttocks
Patients may notice excess skin around the thighs or buttocks after undergoing weight loss. Thigh lift surgery can improve the aesthetic of your lower body in numerous ways. Excess skin can be removed around the upper legs and buttocks to eliminate laxity. Moreover, repositioning loose skin can correct dimpling and irregularities that contribute to an older-looking appearance. As a result, thigh lift surgery can achieve a firmer, younger-looking lower body.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about post bariatric surgery, as well as tummy tuck surgery, breast lift, arm lift, and thigh lift surgery. 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!

Thanks to the latest plastic surgery advancements, patients have more breast enhancement options than ever before. For many, breasts begin to sag, droop, or lose volume with age. Moreover, bodily or hormonal changes caused by pregnancy and breastfeeding can alter the appearance of your breasts. Cutting-edge breast surgery techniques allow patients to achieve perkier, symmetrical breasts that compliment your entire profile. At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer solutions to reshape, re-volumize, and even reduce the size of your breasts for long-lasting results. Below are some breast enhancement techniques that may be right for you.
Breast Implants To Fit Your Profile
Breast implants are a popular choice among patients looking to increase breast size or correct asymmetries. Breast implants come in different shapes to ensure your breasts are proportional to the rest of your body. These implants are made of silicone gel or saline for natural-looking texture and can be sized according to the desires of the patient.
Volumize Your Breasts With Natural Fat Transfer
Breast fat transfer uses your body’s natural fat cells to volumize breasts and smooth unevenness. During your natural breast augmentation procedure, fat cells will be collected from a donor site—oftentimes the midsection, thighs, or buttocks—using liposuction. After being extracted, your natural fat is then carefully reinjected into the breasts for natural-looking volume.
Breast Lift Surgery To Firm Sagging Breasts
Some patients wish to provide a lift to drooping breasts. Breast lift surgery can remove and reposition lax breast skin to eliminate sagging. During this procedure, breasts are raised to a more youthful-looking position, resulting in a firmer appearance. Enlarged nipples or the surrounding areolas can also be reduced during your breast lift to ensure proportional results.
Ease Discomfort & Improve Symmetry With Breast Reduction
Overly large breasts can pose both aesthetic and physical issues. Having large breasts may cause your upper body to seem disproportionate in size. Additionally, patients may suffer from discomfort, irritation, and posture issues, caused by the weight of overly large breasts. Breast reduction can remove excess fat and breast tissue to achieve smaller breasts. Lessening the size of your breasts can also reduce the weight being placed on your back and neck, resulting in improved posture and less physical discomfort.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, and natural fat transfer, as well as any of our other procedures.

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.
