One of the top problem areas for patients who have given birth is the midsection. The effects of pregnancy tend to stretch abdominal muscles, leading to bulging around the stomach. Abdominal muscles may also become weakened due to substantial fluctuations in your weight. Once stretched, these muscles cannot be tightened or repaired through traditional diet and exercise methods. At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, our New Jersey plastic surgeon offers CORE Abdominoplasty to surgically tighten stomach muscles for a firmer-looking midsection.
What Is CORE Abdominoplasty?
CORE Abdominoplasty is an innovative tummy tuck procedure to address abdominal bulging. During this technique, stomach muscles are carefully tightened and brought closer together. Small amounts of loose or excess skin can also be repositioned and removed, if necessary, to achieve a flatter-looking midsection.
How Is CORE Abdominoplasty Different From A Tummy Tuck?
Unlike traditional tummy tuck surgery, CORE Abdominoplasty utilizes a special technique known as the Table Tilt Test. This procedure identifies additional bulging around the midsection by putting the patient in a sitting position, as opposed to lying flat. Once any bulging is identified, your plastic surgeon can address these effects through surgery.
What Kind Of Results Can I Expect?
You can expect long-lasting improvements to the waistline after undergoing CORE Abdominoplasty. This innovative body contouring technique can produce a flatter, natural-looking midsection for those who have experienced pregnancy or substantial weight fluctuations. CORE Abdominoplasty is not meant to address large amounts of abdominal fat and ideal patients for this procedure are in relatively good health.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about CORE Abdominoplasty, as well as any of 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!

A slender, graceful pair of arms is among the most coveted physical attributes. However, numerous factors can take away from arm definition. As you age, your skin begins to loose firmness and become more lax. This can lead to sagging skin around the upper and lower arms. Weight loss can also contribute to drooping arm skin, as excess skin is often left behind after losing a large amount of weight. Arm lift surgery, also referred to as brachioplasty, targets lax arm skin to promote a tighter appearance and restore natural-looking arm contours. Additionally, patients may suffer from small pockets of stubborn arm fat that are difficult to reduce with diet or exercise. Liposuction can be utilized alongside arm lift surgery to remove excess fat and achieve firmer contours. Both male and female patients can undergo brachioplasty and liposuction at Asaadi Plastic Surgery for long-lasting improvements to the arms.
Reshape The Arms!
During your arm lift, sagging skin is carefully redraped and repositioned to tighten the arms. Excess skin can be removed during your procedure, if necessary, to add firmness. Brachioplasty can also eliminate “bat wings,” or hanging skin around the triceps that covers up arm definition.
Remove Excess Fat!
Liposuction can be combined with brachioplasty to further accentuate arm contours. During arm liposuction, small deposits of stubborn fat are broken up and extracted from the upper and lower arms using tiny cannulas. Opting for arm liposuction along with arm lift surgery can achieve shapelier, proportional arms. These treatments are designed to achieve long-lasting body contouring improvements.

Did you know the eyes are among the first areas to display the signs of aging? Sagging brows, puffy under-eye bags, and frown lines may begin to appear around the eyes over time, due to aging, stress, lifestyle choices, or sun exposure. These effects can result in an older-looking, tired appearance. At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we provide brow lift surgery and blepharoplasty to rejuvenate the eyes by improving forehead furrows and drooping eyelids.
Lift Sagging Brows
Over time, the muscles and tissues around the forehead tend to sag downwards. A brow lift targets these forehead tissues that contribute to drooping brows and horizontal lines. During your brow lift procedure, small incisions are made to carefully reposition tissues, reducing the appearance of fine lines. Additionally, excess skin can be removed to address forehead wrinkling and provide a long-lasting lifting effect to the brows. For patients looking for a non-surgical alternative to a forehead lift, Botox® injections can be used to alter the position of the eyebrows. Botox® can relax forehead muscles by temporarily preventing nerve impulses, leading to a reduction in fine lines.
Contour The Eyelids
Blepharoplasty can address both the upper and lower eyelids for a rejuvenated expression. Upper blepharoplasty targets excess skin above the eyelids, as well as small amounts of fat. Your blepharoplasty surgeon will remove skin from the eyelids, while also trimming excess fat to reshape the lids.
Lower blepharoplasty takes aim at puffy under-eye bags and hollowing that may occur below the eyelids. Lower eyelid surgery tightens muscle and repositions fat pockets around the lower eyelid to restore a smooth appearance. Small amounts of excess skin can be removed, if necessary, to ensure natural-looking, youthful results.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about forehead lift or blepharoplasty, as well as any of 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!

Making the decision to lose a significant amount of weight is a substantial step in your journey to attaining a firmer physique. Further supplementing your weight loss with body contouring procedures can slim down areas of the body where sagging skin is present. After losing a significant amount of weight, excess skin is often left behind; this skin tends to sag and droop, masking your hard-earned results. Undergoing post bariatric surgery can remove and reposition excess skin for firm contours. Moreover, post bariatric surgery can achieve long-lasting results for patients. Below are some areas that post bariatric surgery can target.
Tighten The Midsection
Excess skin around the midsection can be corrected with tummy tuck surgery. During this procedure, sagging skin is removed and re-draped to promote a firmer-looking abdomen. Additionally, stomach muscles that have been stretched and weakened due to weight gain or pregnancy can be tightened with a tummy tuck to eliminate bulging.
Lift The Breasts
Weight loss may affect the size and shape of your breasts. Opting for a breast lift can restore youthful positioning to the breasts. Your NJ plastic surgeon can carefully raise the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening surrounding tissue. Breast lift surgery will also move the nipples and surrounding areolas to a higher position and correct nipple size for perkier-looking, proportional breasts.
Firm The Arms
The presence of lax skin around the upper arms is common after substantial weight loss. This can take away from arm definition, as drooping skin may cover up your musculature. An arm lift can re-drape loose arm skin to improve sagging for slimmer-looking, toned arms.
Contour The Thighs & Buttocks
Patients may notice excess skin around the thighs or buttocks after undergoing weight loss. Thigh lift surgery can improve the aesthetic of your lower body in numerous ways. Excess skin can be removed around the upper legs and buttocks to eliminate laxity. Moreover, repositioning loose skin can correct dimpling and irregularities that contribute to an older-looking appearance. As a result, thigh lift surgery can achieve a firmer, younger-looking lower body.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about post bariatric surgery, as well as tummy tuck surgery, breast lift, arm lift, and thigh lift surgery. 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!

Thanks to the latest plastic surgery advancements, patients have more breast enhancement options than ever before. For many, breasts begin to sag, droop, or lose volume with age. Moreover, bodily or hormonal changes caused by pregnancy and breastfeeding can alter the appearance of your breasts. Cutting-edge breast surgery techniques allow patients to achieve perkier, symmetrical breasts that compliment your entire profile. At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer solutions to reshape, re-volumize, and even reduce the size of your breasts for long-lasting results. Below are some breast enhancement techniques that may be right for you.
Breast Implants To Fit Your Profile
Breast implants are a popular choice among patients looking to increase breast size or correct asymmetries. Breast implants come in different shapes to ensure your breasts are proportional to the rest of your body. These implants are made of silicone gel or saline for natural-looking texture and can be sized according to the desires of the patient.
Volumize Your Breasts With Natural Fat Transfer
Breast fat transfer uses your body’s natural fat cells to volumize breasts and smooth unevenness. During your natural breast augmentation procedure, fat cells will be collected from a donor site—oftentimes the midsection, thighs, or buttocks—using liposuction. After being extracted, your natural fat is then carefully reinjected into the breasts for natural-looking volume.
Breast Lift Surgery To Firm Sagging Breasts
Some patients wish to provide a lift to drooping breasts. Breast lift surgery can remove and reposition lax breast skin to eliminate sagging. During this procedure, breasts are raised to a more youthful-looking position, resulting in a firmer appearance. Enlarged nipples or the surrounding areolas can also be reduced during your breast lift to ensure proportional results.
Ease Discomfort & Improve Symmetry With Breast Reduction
Overly large breasts can pose both aesthetic and physical issues. Having large breasts may cause your upper body to seem disproportionate in size. Additionally, patients may suffer from discomfort, irritation, and posture issues, caused by the weight of overly large breasts. Breast reduction can remove excess fat and breast tissue to achieve smaller breasts. Lessening the size of your breasts can also reduce the weight being placed on your back and neck, resulting in improved posture and less physical discomfort.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, and natural fat transfer, as well as any of our other procedures.
