Otoplasty, also known as ear reshaping, can address misshapen or asymmetrical ears caused by genetics or previous trauma. Ears that are overly-large, extend too far outward, or are uneven may be areas of concern for patients. Younger children may be self-conscious of their ears, especially while in a school setting with their peers. Teenagers and adults may opt for otoplasty, as well. At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, our New Jersey plastic surgeon specializes in ear reshaping to reduce the prominence of ears and achieve natural-looking results.
During ear surgery, the ears are carefully reshaped. Your plastic surgeon will place incisions behind the ears and sculpt the cartilage. Excess cartilage can be removed, if necessary, and remaining cartilage will be repositioned closer to the head to improve the appearance of outward-pointing ears. Though otoplasty can be performed on one ear, this procedure usually targets both ears in order to assure a balanced appearance.
Ear reshaping can bring about long-lasting improvements to your facial profile. Head dressings are worn in the days following your otoplasty procedure to ensure optimal healing. Patients begin to see improvements to the shape and contours of their ears immediately following surgery.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about otoplasty, 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!

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.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about arm lift surgery and liposuction, 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!

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!
