Opting for facial rejuvenation during the winter months can result in a beautiful look come summertime. Many patients take advantage of the long winter by undergoing plastic surgery in preparation for the warmer months. Patients often choose to combine different facial rejuvenation techniques for youthful-looking, balanced results. At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer a variety of facial surgery options at our New Jersey office, as well as at our new location in New York City! Below are some commonly-requested procedures that can achieve a younger-looking you.
Facelift & Necklift
Combining a facelift and necklift can ensure a youthful facial profile. Facelift surgery can improve the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and correcting loose or sagging facial skin. While facelift surgery can achieve a younger-looking appearance, an aged neck can continue to lead to an older, worn facial profile. Undergoing necklift surgery targets troublesome neck bands and lax neck skin to promote a contoured neckline. Your plastic surgeon can also tighten underlying muscles and lift loose skin to a more youthful position with a necklift.
Forehead Lift & Blepharoplasty
Patients undergoing a forehead lift can target drooping brows and excess forehead skin that results in an older-looking, furrowed appearance. Horizontal forehead lines can be improved by repositioning forehead tissues and removing loose skin. Patients can also opt for blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, to target the puffy under-eye bags or drooping eyelids. Correcting these conditions can improve the appearance of tired eyes for a refreshed look.
Facial Implants For The Cheeks, Jaw, & Chin
A variety of facial implants can be utilized to improve facial definition and symmetry. Correct gaunt cheek hollows and provide fullness to the midface with cheek implants, or add long-lasting contours to the jawline and chin with chin implants. These implants come in different sizes and shapes to complement your individual profile. Your plastic surgeon can help you determine what is best for your individual procedure goals and desires.
Rhinoplasty
In some cases, simply correcting nose asymmetries can lead to an enhanced facial profile. Nose surgery can improve nostril size, smooth bumps around the nose bridge, and correct the angle of your nose. Rhinoplasty is also utilized to correct breathing issues, such as a deviated septum. Patients often choose rhinoplasty to correct nose imbalances, bringing the nose into balance with the rest of the facial profile.

The abdominals are one of the most troublesome areas for those trying to sculpt a firm physique. Even after consistently watching what you eat and training hard at the gym, those final layers of flab around the stomach may remain; whether this is due to factors such as age, genetics, or the effects of pregnancy depends on the individual patient. However, there are various body contouring solutions that can tighten abdominal muscles and remove excess skin from around the midsection in order to sculpt a flatter, firmer tummy.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, can surgically tighten abdominal muscles by removing excess skin and fat around the stomach and repositioning stomach muscles to create a firm abdominal wall. Tummy tucks are ideal for patients struggling to lose those remaining layers of stubborn belly fat, even after consistent diet and exercise. Additionally, women who have endured pregnancy often have stretched stomach muscles that cannot be tightened through traditional methods. Tummy tuck surgery can tighten these areas for a firmer stomach and waistline to provide long-lasting results.
CORE Abdominoplasty
Patients suffering from loose or stretched abdominal muscles may benefit from CORE Abdominoplasty. This surgical procedure can result in a firmer abdominal profile by combining a tummy tuck with a unique technique known as the “Table Tilt Test.” During this portion of the CORE Abdominoplasty procedure, Dr. Asaadi will raise the operating table to a 45° angle in order to identify and correct any bulging that may occur when the patient is upright. The CORE Abdominoplasty technique allows for more precise results than traditional abdominoplasty procedures in which the patient is simply lying flat. Women who have stretched stomach muscles as a result of pregnancy, as well as patients whose abdominal muscles have weakened over time, can benefit from CORE Abdominoplasty.
MAsterTuck
MAsterTuck is a specialized truncal liposuction procedure targeting the abdominals, flanks, and back. MAsterTuck can effectively remove small pockets of localized fat while also tightening skin all in one procedure. MAsterTuck utilizes the VASER® LipoSelection system to separate fat cells for removal. VASER® is a minimally invasive form of liposuction—making MAsterTuck an ideal liposuction option for patients looking to minimize downtime and recovery after undergoing their body contouring procedure. Those looking to eliminate stubborn layers of fat or flabby skin from the belly, flanks, or back, can opt for MAsterTuck to achieve significant skin tightening and fat removal results.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about tummy tuck surgery, CORE Abdominoplasty, and MAsterTuck, as well as any of our other body contouring procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, or you may request an appointment online today!

Do people comment on how tired or aged you look despite getting a good night’s sleep? Even if you’re getting enough rest, this may fail to produce a more rejuvenated appearance. A likely reason for this is the presence of puffiness or hollowness around the eyelids. Many patients suffering from drooping eyelids worry that their appearance causes them to look older and more worn than they feel. In some cases, sagging eyelids may even interfere with vision. The lower blepharoplasty procedure can tighten lower eyelids and relocate fat from those areas—resulting in a more rejuvenated appearance around the eyes!
During your lower blepharoplasty procedure, your plastic surgeon will reposition fat around your eyelids to smooth under-eye bags and folds, as well as correct any fatty deposits. Traditionally, excess skin is removed in order to smooth the appearance of your eyes, but this may result in an unnatural or uneven look. Thanks to some of the most innovative technology available, the lower blepharoplasty procedure can be performed while removing the minimal amount of skin from your eyelids. Your plastic surgeon will carefully tighten the layers of the lower lids and correct puffiness or hollowing, while avoiding removing any skin below your eyelashes.
You will be advised on proper recovery after your procedure. Unlike other treatment options, like Juvederm, which temporarily relieves the appearance of lower bags and wrinkles, a lower blepharoplasty achieves permanent results and can address even the most severe cases. Any scarring from the procedure will eventually fade to a thin line that is practically unnoticeable, while you can continue to enjoy a more youthful and refreshed look for years to come!
The lower blepharoplasty is a technical procedure and should only be performed by an experienced plastic surgeon. If done improperly, the procedure can cause a retraction in the lower eyelid. Dr. Asaadi has a wealth of experience performing a variety of cosmetic procedures and provides personalized care to suit each patient’s needs.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about our lower blepharoplasty procedure, as well as any of our other facial rejuvenation procedures. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, or you may request an appointment online today!

The muscles of the neck begin to loosen with age. As these muscle fibers become lax, they have a tendency to sag.

Diagnosing malar bags and festoons can be extremely difficult. These conditions, also known as severe under-eye bags, are persistent and problematic; they can prevent you from feeling confident in your appearance and expressing your true emotions. Luckily, Dr. Asaadi has developed a system for testing the source of these troublesome facial issues using Botox injections!
The Botox Test
Dr. Asaadi's Botox Test is designed to diagnose the causes of malar bags and festoons. Since these conditions can have multiple causes, it is crucial to know what’s creating them in order to formulate a proper treatment plan. By injecting Botox into the muscle around the eyes (known as the orbicularis oculi), Dr. Asaadi can indicate whether your condition is being caused by excess fat or by a loss of tightness and tone in the muscle. If your festoons or malar bags worsen after the injection, this indicates that aging in the muscle has led to laxity around the eyes and upper cheeks. However, if the Botox injection doesn’t alter the appearance of your malar bags or festoons, then your condition is being caused by localized fat. Upon diagnosing the cause of your issue, Dr. Asaadi can then formulate a treatment plan.
Festoons and malar bags can be extremely troublesome issues. They can strip you of your confidence and make you self-conscious about your appearance. Dr. Asaadi is dedicated to finding innovative methods to fit your individual needs. What works for one patient may not be the solution for another. Dr. Asaadi strives to make every patient feel comfortable in his or her own skin. The Botox Test is another step in ensuring you receive the proper treatment for your condition.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about malar bags and festoons, as well as our Botox treatments. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000, or you may request an appointment online today!
