Deep creases and fine lines, hollowed cheeks, and sagging skin are all natural parts of the aging process. Gravity, exposure to the elements, and constant muscle use in facial expression all contribute to their development. Using the latest advances in cosmetic facial rejuvenation procedures, patients can minimize the appearance of the most visible signs of aging. Leading New York plastic surgeon Dr. Mokhtar Asaadi has found excellent results by combining traditional facelift surgery with fat harvesting and fat transfer to the face.
By using fat transfer injections in combination with a facelift, Dr. Asaadi is able to restore fullness to the face and cheeks and to fill in fine lines between the brows and in temporal areas at the same time that he tightens underlying facial muscles and removes excess skin and fat from the face. With this combination of procedures, Dr. Asaadi has been able to offer his patients dramatic results.
During the facelift portion of the procedure, Dr. Asaadi will surgically improve the most visible and troublesome signs of facial aging by excising fat and skin, tightening the facial muscles that have become lax, and redraping the skin on the face and neck. For some patients, he suggests having blepharoplasty performed as well for a more comprehensive treatment of the face.
Following the surgical facial rejuvenation procedures, Dr. Asaadi will use fat cells carefully harvested from other parts of your body and inject them into areas of your face. The process of transferring fat cells is very technically dependent. In order for the transfer to be successful, the cells must remain intact and viable. The best and longest-lasting fat transfer results are to the areas of the face that see less movement, such as the forehead and temporal area. While fat transfer injections can also be used to add volume to the lips and smooth fine lines around the mouth, the results are typically not as long lasting because the areas are frequently mobilized.
In addition to addressing the visible signs of aging, injecting intact and viable fat cells under the facial skin offers the exciting possibility of a better overall skin quality because of the stem cell properties found in the fat.
While nothing can truly stop the aging process, Dr. Asaadi’s facial rejuvenation techniques combined with fat transfer injections can help turn back the clock by minimizing the appearance of sagging skin, wrinkles and creases, and an overall hollowed look. Dr. Asaadi is happy to answer any questions that you may have regarding facelift surgery in New York and fat transfer injections in NYC.

Ultherapy® is a nonsurgical, skin tightening procedure which uses ultrasound waves to restore a more firm and youthful appearance to a patient’s face and neck. The sound waves penetrate through the surface layers of skin to tighten deep tissue, tissue which would previously have needed more invasive surgical procedures. Ultherapy® New York is the only non-invasive facial rejuvenation procedure that can rejuvenate both the surface and deep tissues of the face and neck.
Dr. Mokhtar Asaadi can administer Ultherapy® in-office in any of his in New York and New Jersey plastic surgery offices. During the procedure, Dr. Asaadi will target specific areas of skin in the neck and face with focused ultrasound waves. The sound waves do produce heat, so the patient may feel some discomfort. Dr. Asaadi will accommodate you to ensure that the entire procedure is as comfortable as possible. The procedure may take 30 to 60 minutes, and patients may engage in normal daily activities immediately afterward. Although swelling and tenderness of the treated area of skin is common, this side effect will only last a few days to a week; the patient can look forward to firmer, more youthful appearing skin within a few months.
Patients may notice an immediate tightening of loose neck skin but should expect an overall improvement in tone and firmness to the targeted areas within two to three months. One treatment generally provides the desired rejuvenation, but some patients may need addition treatments. After your consultation, the staff will better be able to determine how many Ultherapy treatments you may require, to reach your desired outcome. Dr. Asaadi and his staff welcomes any questions or concerns patients may have. You may contact his New York, NY office at 212.938.0158 and his West Orange and Bedminster, NJ offices at 973.731.7000 or request an appointment through Dr. Asaadi’s website.

Many women wish to have larger breasts but are turned off by the thought of artificial implants and the maintenance surgeries they require down the line. Fat grafting gives women the option of augmenting their breast size using their own fat cells instead of saline or silicone implants.
During Natural Breast Augmentation, New York plastic surgeon Dr. Asaadi gently harvests fat cells from other parts of the body and meticulously transfers them to the breasts. Natural Breast Augmentation is performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. During the procedure, Dr. Asaadi first harvests fat cells from your belly, hips, or thighs using liposuction. Next, Dr. Asaadi injects the harvested fat cells above and below the breast tissue, under the skin and directly into the muscle. He does not inject fat cells into the breast tissue itself. Ultimately, patients can expect to see a one cup increase in breast size following the procedure.
In addition to being a completely natural alternative to implants, Natural Fat Transfer to the Breast significantly reduces downtime and the potential for scarring when compared to other techniques. The recovery period following the procedure is typically very short. The majority of the discomfort patients experience following the procedure is caused by the fat harvesting (liposuction) portion of the procedure.
Aside from the cosmetic benefits of Natural Fat Transfer to the Breast, Natural Breast Augmentation is also used as an alternative to breast implants for women who have had mastectomy/lumpectomy after breast cancer. In addition to increasing the size of the breast and smoothing contour irregularities, scientific evidence suggests that stem cells found within the fat can regenerate and repair tissue damaged by radiation treatments.
