As you age, wrinkles and hollows may form under the eyes, making you look older than you actually are. As your skin begins to lose firmness and elasticity, the eyes are often the first feature to show signs of aging. Non-surgical blepharoplasty can refresh the eyes for a younger-looking appearance.
What Is Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty?
Non-surgical blepharoplasty uses cosmetic fillers and Botox® to treat undereye wrinkles, depressions, and volume loss. Because non-surgical blepharoplasty does not require surgery, patients experience no downtime and are immediately able to get back to daily activities. Non-surgical blepharoplasty can achieve long-lasting and natural-looking eye rejuvenation results that can last years before touch up appointments are needed.
Compare non-surgical blepharoplasty and traditional eyelid surgery below:
Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty: Wrinkles and hollows are improved with cosmetic fillers and Botox® with no recovery period necessary. Results are long-lasting, but routine touch up appointments will be needed in the future.
Traditional Eyelid Surgery: Loose skin is surgically removed and repositioned with a recovery period of 1-2 weeks. Results are longer-lasting than non-surgical blepharoplasty.
What Can Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty Treat?
Non-surgical blepharoplasty can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and creases around the eyes. Additionally, non-surgical blepharoplasty can also effectively treat volume loss that contributes to depressions under the eyes. This hollowness can be corrected with non-surgical blepharoplasty for a fuller, more youthful appearance.
How Long Do Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty Results Last?
In the majority of cases, non-surgical blepharoplasty results can last years before additional treatments are needed. The amount of time between non-surgical blepharoplasty treatments varies on a patient to patient basis. Dr. Asaadi can help determine when touch up appointments are needed.

The nose and chin work together to create your unique facial profile. When the nose and chin are balanced, they create facial harmony that enhances your natural beauty. Facial cosmetic surgery can ensure that the chin and nose are proportionate to your facial features for beautiful-looking results. Together, rhinoplasty and chin augmentation surgery can treat imbalances in the facial profile.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is a nasal surgery that can reshape the nose and improve asymmetries in the nostrils or nasal bridge. Nose surgery can enhance the shape and contours of the nose to better fit with your facial profile.
Some of the most common types of rhinoplasty include:
Open Rhinoplasty: Ideal for complicated surgeries. Incisions are placed inside the nose with an additional incision at the base of the nostrils.
Closed Rhinoplasty: Ideal for less complicated nose surgeries. All incisions are placed inside the nose.
Revision Rhinoplasty: Reserved for patients who have underwent a previous rhinoplasty. Incisions can be placed following a closed or open surgical technique.
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty: Ideal for patients who do not want to undergo surgery. Uses cosmetic injectables to balance the nasal profile.
Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation using chin implants can enhance facial harmony by improving contours of the chin and jawline. Chin implant surgery can bring forward a round chin and accentuate the smile and surrounding facial features.
Dr. Asaadi uses minimally invasive incisions when performing chin augmentation surgery to achieve the most natural-looking results possible with the shortest recovery period.
Combining Rhinoplasty & Chin Implants
The size of the lips, eyes, and cheeks all contribute to the appearance of your nose, but the facial feature that affects the appearance of the nose the most is the chin. A receding chin or a chin that is not as pronounced can cause the nose to look larger than it truly is. Combining chin augmentation with rhinoplasty can create balance between the chin and nose and improve self-confidence while providing natural-looking, long-lasting results.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about rhinoplasty & chin augmentation, as well as our other plastic surgery procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 913.731.7000, our New York office at 212.938.0158, or you may request an appointment online today!

When’s the best time to undergo liposuction? Many patients choose the winter months to slim down and shape up problem areas such as the midsection, back, thighs, and arms. Opting for liposuction in the winter allows patients to easily cover up and take some time off to recover before heading into the new year with a new body. Our New Jersey plastic surgeon offers Vaser® LipoSelection and MAsterTuck℠ – two innovative liposuction techniques that can treat unwanted fat while also firming loose skin.
Vaser® LipoSelection
Vaser® LipoSelection is a minimally invasive liposuction procedure that can remove stubborn fat with less downtime than traditional lipo surgery. Vaser® liposuction uses ultrasound energy to liquefy excess fat cells without harming the surrounding tissues. Once the fat is liquefied, it is then suctioned out of the body. The Vaser® lipo system can target unwanted fat from multiple areas of the body, including the neck, breasts, arms, back, midsection, flanks, thighs, and legs.
In addition to fat removal, Vaser® LipoSelection can also achieve a skin tightening effect. The ultrasound energy emitted from the Vaser® device can encourage collagen and elastin production beneath the skin, which can result in a firmer, smoother-looking skin texture.
MAsterTuck℠
MAsterTuck℠ is a revolutionary liposuction procedure patented and performed solely by Dr. Asaadi. MAsterTuck℠ can transform your physique by sculpting the body for long-lasting results. MAsterTuck℠ uses the Vaser® LipoSelection system to remove stubborn fat and tighten skin.
What makes MAsterTuck℠ different from other liposuction techniques is its ability to deliver substantial skin retraction without the need for excision, resulting in a firmer, smoother contour. Dr. Asaadi uses MAsterTuck℠ to target the abdomen, flanks, and lower back.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about liposuction, Vaser® LipoSelection, and MAsterTuck℠, as well as our other body contouring procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 913.731.7000, our New York office at 212.938.0158, or you may request an appointment online today!

CORE Abdominoplasty New Jersey
POSTED ON WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 09, 2020 AT 10:19 AM by Dr. Mokhtar Asaadi
A firm, contoured midsection is among the most coveted features. Unfortunately, the abdomen is also one of the most common problem areas for patients. Flab, love handles, and stretch marks can affect self-confidence and cause patients to cover up. For mothers in particular, stomach muscles may become weakened and stretched as a result of pregnancy. Even with steadfast dieting and consistent exercise, these structural issues cannot be corrected without surgery. CORE Abdominoplasty is a revolutionary way to tighten stomach muscles and address abdominal bulging.
How Does CORE Abdominoplasty Differ From Traditional Liposuction?
While liposuction is an extremely effective method of removing unwanted belly fat, it cannot address excess skin or loose stomach muscles. CORE Abdominoplasty can tighten underlying muscle layers to create a firmer, tighter midsection. Small amounts of excess fat can also be removed during your CORE Abdominoplasty procedure to reduce bulging and love handles.
How Does CORE Abdominoplasty Differ From A Standard Tummy Tuck?
Though there are some similarities between CORE Abdominoplasty and a traditional tummy tuck, the key difference is Dr. Asaadi’s “Table Tilt Test.” Unlike a standard tummy tuck, where the patient is lying down, the Table Tilt Test repositions the patient to a 45-degree angle sitting up. By doing so, Dr. Asaadi can detect additional bulging and looseness as your stomach muscles fall naturally while sitting. This bulging can be surgically corrected by tightening the underlying muscles for a firmer, flatter abdomen.
Am I An Ideal Candidate For CORE Abdominoplasty?
Ideal candidates for CORE Abdominoplasty include mothers who have weakened stomach muscles as a result of pregnancy. For these patients, diet and exercise alone cannot tighten and reposition core muscles. Additionally, patients who have loose, drooping skin and stretched stomach muscles due to weight fluctuations may also be candidates for CORE Abdominoplasty.
The CORE Abdominoplasty procedure is not designed for patients with large amounts of excess fat around the abdomen. It is important to note that this technique is not meant for weight loss, but rather to firm and tighten your midsection. CORE Abdominoplasty patients should be in relatively good health.
What Kind Of CORE Abdominoplasty Results Can I Expect?
CORE Abdominoplasty results are long-lasting. Patients can expect a slimmer, more-contoured midsection. By tightening stretched abdominal muscles and removing stubborn belly fat, CORE Abdominoplasty can redefine your waistline for years to come.
CORE Abdominoplasty can address:
-
Loose Stomach Muscles
-
Excess, Flabby Skin
-
Love Handles
-
Bulging
-
Stretch Marks
-
Small Deposits Of Stubborn Fat

The signs of facial aging are usually most prominent around the eyes and brows. Forehead lines, drooping eyelids, and bags under the eyes are some of the most common indicators of aging. However, surgical treatments are available to restore a youthful-looking, rejuvenated expression. Our New Jersey plastic surgeon specializes in forehead lift surgery and eyelid surgery to reduce sagging and smooth fine lines.
Blepharoplasty To Rejuvenate The Eyes
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, can reposition and remove loose skin around the upper or lower eyelids. As you age, your skin naturally begins to lose firmness and elasticity over time. This can lead to sagging eyelids. Patients with drooping skin around the eyes often seek a surgical solution to revitalize their facial profile. Blepharoplasty is designed to correct the underlying conditions that contribute to sagging eyelids: excess fat pockets and lax skin.
Our NJ plastic surgeon can also perform festoon surgery to treat troublesome under-eye bags. Festoons are a genetic condition that can cause puffiness under the eyes. Dr. Asaadi can diagnose the cause of your festoons (either excess fat or lax muscles) and can surgically remove excess fat deposits under the skin or release the ligaments of underlying eye muscles to correct puffiness.
Brow Lift To Treat Forehead Lines
A brow lift, often referred to as a forehead lift, can target sagging brows and forehead furrows. These conditions are typically the result of aging, stress, sun exposure, and repeated facial expressions. A brow lift can reduce the prominence of fine lines across the forehead. During brow lift surgery, underlying tissues are carefully repositioned to raise the brows. Excess skin may also be removed to smooth forehead furrows for a more youthful expression.
Combination Forehead Lift & Eyelid Surgery
Some patients may be candidates for both brow lift surgery and blepharoplasty. Combining these facial rejuvenation techniques can address eyelid puffiness, sagging upper eyelids, drooping brows, and forehead lines in a single treatment. Patients can also expect less recovery time overall, as opposed to undergoing eyelid surgery and forehead lift surgery separately. These procedures are designed to achieve natural-looking, long-lasting improvements to your facial profile.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about forehead lift surgery or eyelid surgery, as well as our other facial rejuvenation procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 913.731.7000, our New York office at 212.938.0158, or you may request an appointment online today!
