Migraines can take control of your life. Those who suffer from migraines report being curled in bed, unable to open their eyes, experiencing light and sound sensitivity, and these symptoms last up to twelve hours at a time. These symptoms are long-lasting, and those diagnosed with migraines are 40% more likely to develop depression.
The cause of migraines has been linked to blood vessel enlargement that releases chemicals to nerves. The chemical compression on the nerves causes chronic pain and inflammation. Recently, plastic surgeons have discovered a surgical treatment for migraines that will also help you look younger while feeling migraine relief.
Formally just a cosmetic procedure to lift eyebrows and smooth lines in your forehead, the forehead lift provides nerve decompression for your peripheral sensory nerves. With a few minor incisions, your plastic surgeon is able to eliminate trigger sites for your migraines by clipping nerves and removing muscles. The length of this outpatient procedure varies on the amount of trigger points that are treated.
The surgery has a 70% success rate, and patients report immediate results. After surgery, patients will also experience a younger, more rejuvenated look. The long term effects of this procedure are still being studied, and plastic surgeons are just beginning to understand the benefits of a forehead lift.
Surgical intervention for migraine treatments should be a last resort. Before deciding on a forehead lift for migraine treatment, you should speak with your doctor to ensure you’ve tried every other treatment option available. In certain cases, your surgical treatment for migraines may be approved by medical insurance.

Do you struggle to find a bikini that fits your body? Unfortunately, bikinis are not one size fits all, and often, women may struggle with an unflattering appearance due to an ill-fitting bikini. Thankfully, fat grafting offers a natural boost for your bikini, will add volume, shape, and contours to both your breasts and buttocks. This will be the last summer you regret your bikini purchase after scheduling your breast or buttocks augmentation using fat grafting at Mokthar Asaadi M.D. F.A.C.S!
Fat grafting has a unique benefit over other methods of augmentation; it uses your own, natural fat. During a prior liposuction procedure, fat is extracted from other areas, such as the flanks or love handles. This not only helps sculpt and tone other troublesome areas of fat, but also supplies donor fat to use for augmentation. This fat, whether applied to the buttocks or breasts, feels more natural than implants.
Additionally, fat grafting can be customized to address the concerns of each patient. By transferring your own natural fat, you’re able to correct asymmetry, add additional contouring, and also increase size, if needed. Fat transfer also involves less risk than buttocks or breast implants, reducing the chance of an allergic reaction to a foreign material. It also eliminates the risk of an implant rupture or capsular contracture. The results after fat transfer to your buttocks or breasts is also permanent, unlike implants which usually require replacement after 10 years.
Fat grafting provides patients a safer, more natural choice for breast and buttock augmentation, allowing you to look great and feel confident in your bikini!

Your nose is a prominent feature, and thanks to its front and center placement on your face, it effects the balance and symmetry for the rest of your facial features. Men are expected to have wider noses with a strong, straight bridge, whereas women’s noses are expected to have a softer, more slender appearance.
Overall, a nose should have complimenting lines and contours that blend with the entire face. If the nose is lacking in balance and proportion with the rest of the face, rhinoplasty, a surgery providing both cosmetic and functional corrections, may be a great cosmetic option to address this concern.
Rhinoplasty is often suggested as a cosmetic procedure for a non-symmetrical, disproportionate nose. It has the ability to straighten your nose, remove visible humps on its bridge, create proportion and symmetry, and correct visible past injuries. Besides the ability to balance your face for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, rhinoplasty can also improve structural issues impeding your breathing.
Although the goal of open rhinoplasty is to aesthetically improve the appearance of your nose, endonasal rhinoplasty is known to also correct structural issues causing breathing problems by rebuilding the air chambers within the facial skeleton. By having a limited airway, you’re at a higher risk for sleep apnea, sinus infections, and nose bleeds. Sinus infections can become a major hindrance on your life; limiting your ability to breathe and cause head congestion leading to sinus pressure headaches and nose bleeds. Illness such as sleep apnea puts you at a higher risk for heart disease, resulting in heart attacks and even heart failure! Rhinoplasty can help you to breathe better, allowing you to sleep and look better too!

Dr. Asaadi received another wonderful review from a satisfied patient! She proclaims her treatment gave her “undeniable confidence,” helping her succeed in a local physique competition. This overjoyed patient believes she made the best choice by choosing NJ plastic surgeon, Dr. Asaadi, for her procedures, leading to a “flawless” and “more beautiful” body. Read more of her review below:
Dear Dr. Asaadi,
I wanted to send a progress photo (7 months post-surgery) taken at a local physique competition.
I attribute my success not only to my new body, but the undeniable confidence I exude off and on the stage. Being truly happy with what I see in the mirror has brought forth a world of positives.
For at least 5 years I had thought about making a change. Prior to surgery, my nerves were terrible – after all, the body I've been used to for 30 years was about to change forever! I knew I was in great hands going in, which did ease my anxiety. The minute I became conscious of the results, it became clear I made the best choice. What impressed me the most was my body looked flawless…not one bruise existed. I looked like a more beautiful, natural, and curvaceous version of myself.
I could not be more thrilled with the amazing results of Dr. Asaadi's artistry! With every complement I receive, I recommend your practice for its world-class expertise, professionalism and warmth.
A million times, thank you!!!
Sincerely,
A.G.

As we get older, our faces begin to look weathered and sallow. This appearance is caused by the loss of fat distribution, areas such as the forehead, cheeks, temples, and around the mouth and eyes will start showing age. These changes can add years to our appearance, taking a toll on our self-esteem. The physical appearance of aging, although natural, may not represent the youth and vigor you still feel. Dr. Asaadi offers various non-surgical, liquid facelift techniques to restore volume and renew the youth of your inner age!
Relax Muscles: Relax vertical frown lines, smooth wrinkles and creases around your eyes, nose, neck, mouth, or chin with BOTOX®, a natural, purified protein that relaxes muscles.
Restore Volume: Known to replenish lost hyaluronic acid, Juvederm helps hydrate your skin, naturally adding volume to wrinkles and folds by increasing thickness to areas with less volume.
Fill Hollows Under Eye: Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is used for lower and upper eyelids. Adding volume to lower eyelids and smoothening the appearance of eye bags. It lasts up to two years and is a great alternative to blepharoplasty.
Add Volume to Midface: Juvederm® Voluma™ is the first FDA-approved filler to add volume to your cheek area. It is also used off label to correct nasolabial folders, and to add volume to your temples, the lower face and jaw lines.
Smooth Folds: Eliminating smile lines, marionette lines, and vertical lip lines, Belotero is bold enough to treat fine lines around the mouth, yet still delicate enough to treat thinner lines above the lip.
Longer-lasting Results: Natural Fat from other areas of your body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks is often extracted to replenish areas that are lacking in volume. Fat transfer is often recommended to add volume to the lower eyelid area. Fat transfer can also be used on other areas of your face, enhancing lips, reversing wrinkles, laugh lines, or forehead creases, or adding volume to the cheeks.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about renewing the youth to your face. Contact our NJ office at 973.731.7000 or request your appointment online today.
