Do you find yourself dieting and exercising without noticeable results? During the winter, many of us gain weight from holiday dinners and uncomfortable frigid temperatures preventing outdoor activities. By the time the spring comes around, we start planning our dream bodies, but for those who struggle to lose weight, sculpting areas of stubborn fat can sometimes lead to disappointment and discouragement when we still aren’t at our ideal weight when summer hits.
While an unresponsive diet and exercise routine may not work for a variety reasons, some common explanations of why patients simply cannot lose weight include genetics, age, and even simply not having enough time or willpower. As medical technology moves forward however, it is becoming easier for our NJ Plastic Surgeon to offer patients less invasive techniques to help shape the contours of the body for achievable results that diet and exercise may fail to provide.
One of the most common procedures people turn to for body sculpting today is Liposuction. The common Liposuction procedure removes fat from the body but often leaves behind loose and sagging skin. However, with today’s innovations in medicine, our NJ plastic surgeon, Dr. Asaadi, can provide a patient with one surgery to achieve the beautiful results of Liposuction without sagging skin. Known as Vaser Liposelection in NJ, this procedure promotes significant skin tightening.
Vaser Liposelection uses advanced ultrasound technology to emulsify fat. Only targeting fat cells, Vaser Lipo preserves the tight, fibrous tissue that is essential to help skin contract following surgery. Dr. Asaadi commonly uses Vaser Liposelection with his signature MAsterTuck procedure.
Visit our before & after gallery and see the amazing results of Vaser Liposelection.
MAsterTuck removes large areas of fat unresponsive to diet and exercise. Using Vaser Liposelection, the MAsterTuck is perfect for the trunk of the body and is sometimes combined with Breast Lift to help patients achieve an overall look of perfection with smooth and beautiful results Liposuction alone can’t provide. The right candidate will have the right amount of skin laxity and no hanging skin. Learn more about MAsterTuck in NJ below.
When diet and exercise aren’t enough, re-gain your confidence by sculpting and shaping your contours and re-discover your body shape with Vaser Lipo. Take the next step to your dream body today. Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about Vaser Liposelection. Contact our New Jersey office at 212.731.7000, or you may request an appointment online today!

Are you prepared to spend the night looking your best this Valentine’s Day? It’s not too late to take advantage of a rejuvenated appearance in time for the heart felt holiday thanks to Juvederm® in New Jersey. Prepare your kiss, and plump up your pucker with this non-invasive cosmetic injectable!
While many people are born with small or thin lips, the most common cause of thinning lips is due to the breakdown of collagen as we age. Other factors that can contribute to thin lips include family genetics, repeated pursing or puckering, dehydration, overexposure to the sun, and smoking. Today, achieving fuller lips is easier than ever thanks Juvederm® in NJ.
In addition to beautiful, fuller looking lips, Juvederm® can smooth facial lines, helping you re-discover your look of youth. Similar to the breakdown of collagen in the lips, your skin may also experience lost collagen with age or sun exposure, resulting in lost elasticity, fine lines, wrinkles, and folds.
Juvederm® is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is perfectly safe as it is a naturally occurring substance in your skin. Its role in the skin is to deliver nutrients, as well as hydrate. In addition, hyaluronic acid can be found in tissue space, the synovial fluid of joints, and the vitreous humour of the eyes, acting as a binding, lubricating, and protective agent.
As one of the first FDA approved dermal fillers in New Jersey, Juvederm® has helped patients rediscover their youth with a natural, long lasting appearance. Since Juvederm® uses cross-linked hyaluronic acid, the body will absorb it more slowly, ultimately resulting in longer lasting results.
During your treatment for fuller lips, Dr. Asaadi will carefully inject Juvederm® into the lips to restore lost volume. To treat facial wrinkles and folds, Dr. Asaadi will insert Juvederm® under the skin, filling and smoothing away facial wrinkles and folds.
After injection, some patients may experience a small amount of swelling or redness for the first few days. Within the first 24 hours, patients may also be asked to avoid strenuous activity. Most patients find that Juvederm lasts from 9 months up to 1 year.
Speak I love you with irresistible lips and a confident appearance. Schedule your appointment for Juvederm® in New Jersey with Dr. Asaadi today! Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about Juvederm® or any of our other NJ Dermal Fillers. Contact our office at 973.731.7000 or request your appointment online.

If winter’s chill is making you dream of sandy shores and the sun’s warm rays, prepare for your fantasy with Breast Augmentation in NJ! Get a head start on your dream body now so you can show off your new curves later! Breast Augmentation in New Jersey has also helped women rejoice after breast cancer surgery, providing hope, strength, and confidence.
In addition to restoring curves after breast cancer surgery, women opt to increase the size of their breast for a number of reasons. These reasons include to enhance body contour, correct loss of volume after pregnancy or weight loss, and balance a difference in breast size. Also known as Mammoplasty, NJ Breast Augmentation gives patients the feminity, youth, and beauty they deserve. At the office of NJ Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Mokhtar Asaadi, we offer several options when it comes to breast enhancement. Understanding the similarities and differences between your options will better assist your when choosing Breast Augmentation.
Silicone Implants contain a silicone gel whereas Saline Implants are salt-water based. When receiving breast implants, some women may require skin expansion. Skin expansion stretches the skin, creating room for permanent implants. During skin expansion, Dr. Asaadi will insert a balloon expander beneath the skin and chest muscle. Through a tiny valve, he will inject a salt-water solution over the course of several weeks to months. Once the skin is stretched enough, the expansion will be removed and your silicone or saline implants will be put into place.
Learn more about NJ Mammoplasty.
During implant reconstruction, some patients may require flap reconstruction in order to support implants. This procedure allows for breast reconstruction using your own tissue. There are two types of flaps; pedical and free. Pedical flaps take skin, tissue, or muscles from other parts of your body with the vessels attached. Free flaps however, involve detaching these vessels and then reconnecting them at the insertion area with microsurgery. Once the flap is completed, implants are inserted.
In addition to saline and silicone implants, Dr. Asaadi offers Natural Breast Augmentation. This innovative procedure gives women the option to increase breast size using their own fat cells. These fat cells are collected from other areas of the body, known as donor areas, including the tummy, thighs, or love handles. Donor fat cells are then placed in the breast for a natural approach and appearance.
It may be easy to cover up in the frigid of winter, but once summer comes, don’t be unprepared! Learn more about breast augmentation in NJ. Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about your Mammoplasty in New Jersey. Contact our NJ office at 973.731.7000, or you may request an appointment online for your personal consultation with Dr. Asaadi.

BOTOX® NJ: Botox cosmetic derives from botulinum toxin.

BOTOX® Cosmetic allows for a more relaxed appearance and aids in preventing wrinkles for a younger looking appearance. Additionally, BOTOX® in NJ can alleviate migraine pain and treat excess sweating of the hands, feet, or underarms. Learn more about BOTOX® in NJ.

Juvederm®: Juvederm® is a smooth consistency gel that like Restylane®, uses hyaluronic acid. Juvederm® in NJ is injected under the skin to instantly restore skin’s volume and smooth away facial wrinkles. Juvederm® works best for moderate to severe facial wrinkles and can also be used to plump up volume to the lips. Learn more about Juvederm® in NJ.
Perlane®: Similar to Restylane®, Perlane® in NJ restores lost volume and fullness to the skin and works best to correct nasolabia folds. Unlike Restylane® however, Perlane® uses larger gel particles and is intended for deeper injection to support and lift facial folds that are further beneath the skin and more stubborn. Learn more about Perlane® in NJ.
In addition to our non-invasive dermal fillers and cosmetic injectables, we provide chemical peels to smooth dry and damaged skin from winter’s cold chill! Chemical peels work by removing the damaged layers of the skin, helping to relieve facial blemishes, wrinkles, and uneven skin pigmentation.

Depending on the depth and severity of your skin will determine which chemical peel is right for you.

It starts as a pounding in the head. Some see static, feel nauseous, or develop a sense of spinning. The culprit of these unwanted pains and symptoms is a migraine, and for those who experience its life halting effects, finding immediate relief is often insurmountable. When this type of extreme head pain strikes, sufferers know that the rest of the day must be spent in bed without any light or sound. If you’re one of the 25-35 million Americans affected by migraines each year, then you know the struggle of finding a cure. Though over the counter and prescription medications can offer temporary relief, a more permanent solution exists at the office of your plastic surgeon.
The revelation of BOTOX® for migraines came about 12 years ago, when researchers discovered that the number one reason a migraine occurs is from the contraction of the muscle within the temporal area. Patients who received BOTOX® Cosmetic however, found relief from their migraine symptoms following injection. Doctors soon realized that this cosmetic injectable not only stops wrinkles, it stops the throbbing head pain so many people experience each year.
When it comes to treating migraines with BOTOX® Cosmetic in New Jersey, your plastic surgeon will properly diagnose your migraine by first asking you where your trigger point is. There are four areas of the head in which these trigger points may reside, including the frontal area, the lateral part of the eye, the back of the head, and the nose. Once the correct area is identified, your plastic surgeon will inject BOTOX® Cosmetic to improve any nerve blocks and to relieve pressure of any pinched nerves.
After treatment, about 80-90 percent of patients find their migraines completely cured. Furthermore, BOTOX® Cosmetic is FDA approved for migraines. Though BOTOX® Cosmetic last about 6 months for cosmetic procedures, migraine suffers must return every 2-3 months for injections and further prevention of their migraine.
In addition to BOTOX® Cosmetic in New Jersey, patients may also benefit from a more permanent solution to cure migraines. In fact, if patients respond well to the treatment of BOTOX®, they will most likely respond to surgical procedures such as septoplasty or blepharoplasty in NJ. These options remove overlying muscles that put unwanted pressure on the nerves known to lead to extreme head pain.
Dr. Asaadi and his staff will gladly discuss any questions or concerns you may have about BOTOX® Cosmetic in New Jersey. Contact our New York office at 973.731.7000 or request an appointment online for a personal consultation.
