Facial Fillers in NJ: Add Some Spring to Your Step!

POSTED ON TUESDAY, MAY 27, 2014 AT 2:49 PM by Dr. Mokhtar Asaadi

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.

Eyes Wide Open: Blepharoplasty for Eye Repair

POSTED ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 09, 2014 AT 5:06 PM by Dr. Mokhtar Asaadi

Are you unhappy with puffiness, sagging, and wrinkles around your eyes? Excessive skin or swelling around the eyes can give your face an aged and tired appearance. These folds can disturb the natural contour of your face, and in severe cases, even impair your vision.  Blepharoplasty, also known as cosmetic eyelid surgery, can correct these issues, giving you a younger, more alert, and refreshed appearance.

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Lower eyelid surgery is most often used to correct displaced fat pads and hollows beneath the eyes. This procedure can also correct malar bags, or severe bags known as festoons underneath your eyes. Bags and circles begin to appear under the eyes, adding age and exhaustion to your appearance. Fat pads are repositioned during this procedure fat may also be used to smooth under eye hollows, and excess skin may be removed to eliminate puffiness or bagginess around the eyes, depending on the severity of your condition.

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Heavy or puffy eyelids can cause drooping and sagging skin at the top of your eyes, giving you a look more tired, aged, and even melancholy appearance. In extreme cases, the drooping skin can extend over your eyelashes and restrict your field of vision, a condition often known as “ptosis”.  Correcting ptosis is usually a medical expense covered by many insurance providers. If you’re in search of a procedure to correct your saggy eyelids, upper eyelid surgery may be right for you. By tightening muscles surrounding the eyelids and removing excess skin and fat, upper blepharoplasty surgery will give you a younger, more alert appearance and expand your visual field.

After Surgery

Patients can return home same day following eyelid surgery. Incisions after blepharoplasty surgery are unnoticeable. Sutures are restricted to an invisible incision inside the eyelid or along the eyelashes, left unseen. Swelling and bruising around the eyes can be expected to last up to a week after surgery. Your plastic surgeon will discuss the best post-op care for optimum results. Oftentimes, eyelid surgery in New Jersey is combined with a brow liftlaser skin resurfacing or even a facelift for an more youthful appearance.

Treating Chronic Migraines with BOTOX or Plastic Surgery

POSTED ON THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 2014 AT 4:43 PM by Dr. Mokhtar Asaadi

Dr. Mokhtar Asaadi is inviting all physicians and patients who have migraines to attend a full-day plastic surgery symposium on May 2, 2014! Dr. Asaadi will be speaking as well as guest speaker recognized internationally as an authority in plastic surgery, Dr. Bahman Guyuron, to discuss using BOTOX and surgery as treatment of chronic migraines. BOTOX is FDA approved for temporary treatment of chronic migraines, and by mimicking the effects of BOTOX with surgery, Dr. Guyuron can provide a permanent solution to migraine sufferers.

As a cosmetic injectable, BOTOX improves the look of frown lines, crow’s feet, and wrinkles or creases in the forehead. Studies have also produced positive results when using BOTOX as a medical treatment, specifically in migraines. By relaxing surrounding muscles, BOTOX inhibits the nerves triggering headaches, giving patients up to two weeks of migraine relief.  If a BOTOX treatment successfully treats your migraine, your plastic surgeon may recommend a surgical treatment as a permanent solution.

Dr. Guyuron has performed migraine surgery on over 1,000 patients with great results. The surgery, described as an adapted forehead lift, removes muscles and clips nerves, causing a “nerve decompression”. The procedure is performed as an outpatient surgery, with general anesthesia. The length of this surgery varies, requiring 45 minutes per trigger point deactivation. Patients usually notice results immediately, or in as little as four weeks. Unlike BOTOX injections, the results from nerve decompression are permanent, and do not require monthly follow-up visits.

For more information on Dr. Asaadi’s full-day plastic surgery symposium, please contact 973.731.7000.

Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about migraine surgery or BOTOX used for both cosmetic and medical purposes! Contact our New Jersey office today at 973.731.7000 or request your appointment online today!
