Breast Cancer Awareness month has been observed every October for more than 30 years, serving as an important reminder about the trials and tribulations that women with breast cancer experience before, during, and after fighting their breast cancer battle.
For many women, it is not uncommon to undergo a mastectomy or double mastectomy during their cancer treatment. This procedure entails removing all or part of the patient’s breast or breasts.
Following this procedure, some women may feel self-conscious, unhappy, or uncomfortable with their appearance. Breast reconstruction surgery can help patients restore their confidence and rebuild natural-looking breasts.
Breast reconstruction surgery recreates natural-looking breasts for women who have lost all or part of their breasts as a result of breast cancer treatments, mastectomy, double mastectomy, or another medical procedure.
Dr. Asaadi utilizes saline breast implants during breast reconstruction surgery to achieve the most beautiful, symmetrical results possible. Saline implants are made of a salt-water solution, which results in the breasts appearing more natural-looking in shape and positioning. Breast reconstruction surgery can help patients recreate breasts that closely mirror the appearance, shape, and size of their breasts prior to their cancer treatment.
What Are The Benefits Of Breast Reconstruction Surgery?
-
Recreates appearance of breasts prior to mastectomy or lumpectomy
-
Improves body image and self-esteem
-
Provides natural-looking results
-
Can be performed immediately following mastectomy or lumpectomy
How is Breast Reconstruction Surgery Performed?
During breast reconstruction surgery, a tissue expander creates a pocket where the saline breast implant can be inserted, and sutures are then used to close the incisions. Fat grafting techniques can be utilized if necessary to provide additional contouring or shaping of the breasts for the most natural-looking results. Fat can be harvested from other areas of the body to be transferred to the breasts for the patient’s desired outcome.
Plastic Surgery For Breast Cancer Patients
A board-certified plastic surgeon can offer important education, awareness, and post-treatment options for breast cancer patients during their breast cancer journey. Having a plastic surgeon on the comprehensive care team can be beneficial for the patient, as they can be part of creating the proper treatment plan from the initial stages of diagnosis. This ensures that the patient receives the most optimal care for their individual needs and can achieve their desired results after undergoing breast cancer surgery. Plastic surgery following cancer treatment can include procedures such as breast reconstruction following mastectomy, which can greatly increase a patient's self-esteem and emotional well-being after defeating their cancer battle. A plastic surgeon can provide an essential role for breast cancer patients in providing unparalleled care and improving the quality of life for breast cancer patients.
What Can I Expect During Breast Reconstruction?
Prior to your breast reconstruction surgery, you will work with Dr. Asaadi to create a customized treatment plan to ensure your desired results are achieved. Pre-surgery instructions and a treatment regime will be created and followed before the procedure and during the healing process.
What Can I Expect After Breast Reconstruction Surgery?
Side effects after breast reconstruction surgery can include soreness, bruising, swelling, inflammation, and fatigue. Stitches are usually removed 1-2 weeks post-surgery, and patients should avoid all strenuous activity until cleared by Dr. Asaadi during follow up appointments. Depending on your body’s rate of healing, the recovery time will vary for each individual patient and can be dependent on the techniques used during the breast reconstruction surgery.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about breast reconstruction. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, or you may request an appointment online today!

Breast enhancement procedures are some of the most sought-after in plastic surgery. Most breast enhancement procedures are performed to enhance the shape, size, and symmetry of the breasts resulting in a fuller, more shapely appearance. Patients who are interested in breast enhancement may have experienced changes in the shape, size, or position of their breasts. These changes can be caused by various factors such as genetics, weight fluctuation, age, pregnancy, and more.
Breast enhancement procedures include breast augmentation, breast lift, breast implant removal, breast implant replacement, and more.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation uses breast implants to create fuller breasts, correct asymmetries, and improve the size, shape, and contours of the breasts. Natural-looking volume is added by utilizing breast implants that are proportional to your body to accentuate and enhance your natural curves. Dr. Asaadi only uses saline breasts implants resulting in natural-looking breast enhancement results.
Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery can restore a more youthful-looking shape to the appearance of the breasts by removing excess skin and tissue and raising the breasts to a more lifted position. With age or following lifestyle choices such as pregnancy or breastfeeding, breasts can begin to sag and droop, causing many women to feel self-conscious. With breast lift surgery, patients can enhance the look of their breasts and achieve their desired breast enhancement goals.
Breast Implant Removal & Replacement
Breast implant removal is performed for cosmetic or medical concerns. Breast implant removal is an option for patients who may no longer be happy with the appearance of their breast implants, patients who no longer desire having breast implants at all, or due to an infection or capsular contracture. Damaged breast implants must be removed for the health of the patient. Breast implant removal can be combined with breast implant replacement, following the removal of the previous implants.
Breast implant replacement exchanges previous breast implants for new breast implants following a breast implant removal surgery. Patients interested in undergoing breast implant replacement surgery may be interested in increasing or decreasing the size of their implants to achieve a more natural-looking breast enhancement result. Another reason for undergoing breast implant replacement may be due to infection, capsular contracture, or correcting the work of a previous surgeon.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about breast enhancement treatments. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, or you may request an appointment online today!

Over time, as the natural course of aging occurs, it is not uncommon to wish for younger-looking skin. Factors such as stress, sun exposure, gravity, and more can contribute to a decrease in facial volume and elasticity. This can result in patients feeling unsatisfied in their appearance and reducing their self-esteem as they age. With facial rejuvenation, patients can maintain their youthfulness and enhance their appearance to feel and look their best.
Facial rejuvenation addresses the signs of facial aging by treating common concerns such as wrinkles, sagging skin, loss of facial volume, fine lines, and more. Facial plastic surgery targets areas around the mouth, nose, eyes, neck, forehead, chin, and more.
At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer facial plastic surgery procedures such as facelift, neck lift, forehead lift, and more. These procedures can reduce the signs of aging, improve your overall appearance, boost your confidence, and provide a more youthful glow. Facial rejuvenation can help patients revitalize a natural-looking facial profile to restore their youth.
Facelift
Facelift surgery can refresh your appearance by significantly reducing the visible signs of aging. A facelift tightens and lifts the muscles and deep tissues of the face and removes excess skin and fat to accentuate your facial contours. There are various facelift techniques that are used to target the different areas of the face and neck to achieve each patient’s desired results. Facelift surgery can reduce the appearance of jowls, tighten facial muscles, eliminate a double chin, soften creases and folds, and rewind the aging process for a natural-looking facial profile. Improving the signs of aging with a facelift can restore a long-lasting, more youthful facial profile.
Neck lift
Neck lift surgery addresses fine lines, wrinkles, excess fat, and loose skin that develop in the neck area, leading to an older-looking appearance. The neck is often one of the first places where the signs of aging begin to appear as skin begins to droop, sag, and crease over time. A neck lift can create a lifted, more sculpted neckline by tightening and smoothing the skin to restore youthful contours. Excess skin and fat are often removed to create a more defined neckline and eliminate concerns such as neck banding, jowls, and wrinkles.
Forehead lift
A forehead lift can eliminate the appearance of facial furrows, worry lines, and sagging brows due to aging, stress, and repeated facial expressions. Patients who are unsatisfied with the appearance of their forehead can undergo a forehead lift to improve their appearance for a younger-looking expression and achieve a firmer, smoother forehead.

Removing and eliminating unwanted fat from different areas of the body is one of the most sought-after body contouring and plastic surgery procedures. Innovative plastic surgery advancements over the years have led to the creation of a variety of different techniques and methods to perform liposuction. These new methods are suited to better fit the needs of each patient and their desired goals. At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer multiple methods of liposuction, including VASER® LipoSelection.
VASER® LipoSelection is a specialized liposuction technique that removes fat and tightens skin in one procedure. The purpose of this procedure is to target unwanted fat and extract it, while also encouraging skin retraction for a gradual firming effect. This method of liposuction is minimally invasive and uses ultrasound technology to generate and transmit sound energy to underlying fat cells. As the fat cells are exposed to the ultrasound energy, it is gradually liquefied. The fat cells are then gently removed to ensure skin retraction and smoothness in the targeted areas. This procedure is ideal for patients who are interested in tackling persistent fat pockets in a range of different areas of the body.
Treatment areas for VASER® LipoSelection include the abdomen, thighs, hips, legs, arms, and neck. Other and more specific areas that can be targeted include the knees, flanks, upper arms, face, inner thighs, chin, outer thighs, calves, breasts, and ankles. The benefits of the VASER® method include predictable results, fast recovery, minimal pain and bruising, and it is gentle so it can be applied to delicate areas of the face and body.
What is the difference between VASER® LipoSelection and Traditional Liposuction results?
VASER® Liposuction is able to selectively target and extract unwanted fat from precise areas. This technique leaves the connective tissue and nerves intact, resulting in minimal discomfort and faster recovery than traditional liposuction. The VASER® method has a shorter procedure time and requires less downtime post procedure as well.
Benefits of ultrasound technology leave patients with beautifully contoured results and skin tightening benefits. Following the VASER® procedure, patients can expect long-lasting body sculpting results. This method is designed to restore and firm the natural-looking contours of your body.
Dr. Asaadi and his staff are more than happy to answer any questions concerning VASER® LipoSelection or other body contouring 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!
