When performing blepharoplasty, Dr. Asaadi can treat both the upper and lower eyelids for a balanced result. Combining upper and lower eyelid surgery can achieve a more-youthful, refreshed appearance.
Blepharoplasty can treat a variety of conditions, including drooping upper lids, under-eye bags, malar mounds, and festoons.
A trained eye and rigorous attention-to-detail are required during eyelid surgery in order to achieve a natural-looking result.
Learn more about blepharoplasty below.
Upper Blepharoplasty
Upper eyelid surgery is designed to reduce sagging or drooping skin above the lids. During upper blepharoplasty, loose skin over the lid can be repositioned or removed.
Underlying muscle can also be tightened for a firmer-looking appearance.
Lower Blepharoplasty
Lower blepharoplasty can treat puffy or bulging below the eyelids. Dr. Asaadi addresses each layer of the lower eyelids differently when performing eyelid surgery.
Lax skin and muscle are selectively tightened and repositioned in order to achieve an optimal result. Small amounts of excess fat beneath the eyelids can also be removed, if necessary.
Malar Mounds & Festoons
Dr. Asaadi also treats malar mounds and festoons, which are addressed differently than traditional eyelid surgery. A “Botox® Test” can be utilized to determine the cause of your malar bags or festoons. During this test, a small amount of Botox® is injected into the muscle around the eye, known as the orbicularis oculi. If this injection leads to a temporary worsening of your symptoms, then this shows that muscle laxity is the root cause of your malar mounds or festoons. If so, Dr. Asaadi can address the underlying ligaments within the muscle to correct these conditions. If there is no change in your malar bags or festoons after undergoing a Botox® injection, then the cause is most likely underlying fat pockets. These can be removed surgically to treat your festoon or malar mound.

MAsterTuck℠ is a specialized liposuction procedure pioneered by Dr. Asaadi himself to firm the midsection, flanks, and back. MAsterTuck℠ can remove stubborn fat and tighten lax skin to improve contours. Unlike traditional body contouring techniques, MAsterTuck℠ can firm hanging skin without having to surgically remove skin, making this procedure a minimally invasive alternative to body sculpting surgery. Learn more about MAsterTuck℠ below.
How Does MAsterTuck℠ Work?
MAsterTuck℠ is a truncal liposuction procedure that uses VASER® LipoSelection to remove unwanted fat deposits from the abdomen, flanks, and lower back. During this procedure, a cannula is introduced beneath the skin to gently remove fat cells from the body. Energy from the VASER® Lipo cannula also tightens skin around the treatment area(s) and encourages the production of new collagen fibers beneath the skin, leading to gradual improvements in skin structure and elasticity.
What Kind Of MAsterTuck℠ Results Can I Expect?
MAsterTuck℠ patients can expect long-lasting results. MAsterTuck℠ can contour the midsection, flanks, and back, reduce love handles, and tighten hanging skin in one minimally invasive procedure. Patients can expect to see full results in the months following MAsterTuck℠ treatment.
Who Are Ideal Candidates For MAsterTuck℠?
If you are experiencing mild-to-moderate sagging around the midsection, flanks, or back or are bothered by unwanted fat pockets around these areas, then MAsterTuck℠ may be right for you. MAsterTuck℠ candidates should be at a relatively healthy weight, as MAsterTuck℠ is not meant to be a weight loss procedure. Additionally, MAsterTuck℠ is not designed to tighten loose or stretched abdominal muscles, as this is reserved for tummy tuck surgery. Your plastic surgeon can discuss if MAsterTuck℠ is an ideal procedure for you.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about MAsterTuck℠, as well as our other body contouring procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, our New York office at 212-938-0158, or you may request an appointment online today!

Improve facial contours by combining rhinoplasty with chin augmentation! The nose and chin are two of the most prominent facial features. Nose surgery and chin implants work together to add natural-looking definition to the entire facial profile for a more youthful appearance. These facial surgery techniques can also enhance facial symmetry by improving the shape of your nose and jawline.
Nose Surgery
Rhinoplasty can target all aspects of the nose to enhance shape, including the nose bridge, tip, and nostrils. Nose surgery can correct bumps or crookedness for a more balanced profile. During rhinoplasty surgery, nose cartilage is carefully reshaped and repositioned to achieve symmetry. Patients who have suffered facial trauma that has affected their nose shape can also opt for rhinoplasty to reconstruct the nose. Additionally, nose surgery can improve certain breathing problems, including a deviated septum, to improve functionality. Rhinoplasty surgery is designed to provide long-term results for patients.
Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation can enhance a rounded chin and add definition to the jawline. Chin implants add fullness to the chin to improve facial contours. Chin implants are available in different shapes and sizes in order to best fit your individual profile. Your chin implant will be placed through a small incision made underneath the chin. Chin augmentation can provide long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about rhinoplasty and chin augmentation, as well as our other facial rejuvenation procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, our New York office at 212-938-0158, or you may request an appointment online today!

Liposuction and natural breast augmentation can be paired together to enhance your physique! This combination procedure enables patients to address multiple areas of concern in one surgery. Liposuction can shape the body while natural fat transfer can add youthful-looking volume to the breasts. Together, these techniques can achieve natural-looking results by taking your own fat from one area of the body and inserting it into the breasts to enhance contours.
Liposuction
Liposuction can remove pockets of excess body fat with precision. A small cannula is inserted underneath the skin to extract unwanted fat cells and improve contours. At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer the latest liposuction techniques, including tumescent liposuction, super wet lipo, and VASER® LipoSelection to achieve optimal results with less healing time than past liposuction methods. Patients can target a variety of areas, including the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. Once fat cells are extracted from the body, they are collected and preserved for the second part of your procedure.
Natural Breast Augmentation
During natural breast augmentation, the fat cells taken from your liposuction procedure are injected into your breasts to enhance volume and to ensure a symmetrical appearance. Because the natural fat transfer technique uses your own fat cells, this procedure can achieve extremely realistic results for patients.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about liposuction and natural breast augmentation, as well as any of our other body contouring or breast enhancement procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, our New York office at 212-938-0158, or you may request an appointment online today!

Rhinoplasty, often referred to as nose surgery, can improve nose size and shape to enhance facial symmetry. The nose is among your most prominent facial features, and slight bumps or asymmetries can have a noticeable effect on your profile. Rhinoplasty is designed to surgically enhance the aesthetics of your nose to achieve natural-looking facial rejuvenation results. Additionally, nose surgery can be used for reconstructive purposes. Learn more about this innovative procedure below!
What Issues Can Rhinoplasty Address?
When performing rhinoplasty, our New Jersey plastic surgeon can target imbalances around the nose tip, bridge, or nostrils. The nose can be widened or narrowed, and bumps can be smoothed. The angle of your nose can also be improved with nose surgery. Additionally, patients who are suffering from breathing problems caused by genetics or past facial trauma can opt for rhinoplasty to relieve these issues.
Which Type Of Rhinoplasty Is Right For Me?
There are three types of rhinoplasty: open, closed, and revision. During closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are placed inside of the nose, as opposed to open rhinoplasty, which requires an additional incision across the columella (the tissue found at the base of the nostrils). Revision nose surgery is reserved for patients who have underwent a previous rhinoplasty procedure and are not satisfied with their results. Your rhinoplasty surgeon will discuss which surgical option is best for you.
What Kind Of Results Can I Expect?
Rhinoplasty can achieve long-lasting improvements to the shape and proportions of your nose. Patients usually return to work or school within a week of their nose surgery and can expect to see results in the coming months.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about rhinoplasty, as well as any of our other procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, our New York office at 212-938-0158, or you may request an appointment online today!
