As the signs of aging start to become visible, many patients wish to restore their skin to look younger and tighter again. When you begin to age it is common for your skin to lose firmness, elasticity, volume, and collagen, resulting in sagging skin and a hollowed facial profile. Other common signs of aging include fine lines and wrinkles, nasolabial folds, creases, crow’s feet, and more.
At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer Ultherapy®, a non-surgical skin tightening treatment that combats the signs of aging to restore a more youthful appearance. Ultherapy® can reduce fine lines and wrinkles while lifting and tightening facial tissues.
This treatment can stimulate collagen production and elastin to tighten the facial muscles and tissue to return firmness to the skin. Ultherapy® can treat problem areas around the eyes, nose, mouth, and neck to rejuvenate the skin for a younger-looking facial profile.
How Does Ultherapy® Work?
Ultherapy® is a non-invasive skin tightening procedure that utilizes ultrasound technology. An ultrasound applicator to administer safe levels of ultrasound energy to the areas you wish to have treated. The surface of the skin is penetrated by sound waves that gently heat the tissue to tighten and lift the deepest layers of the skin and stimulate natural collagen production. The ultrasound energy is administered beneath the skin’s surface to directly target the underlying cause of wrinkles and other signs of aging at the source. Ultherapy® is capable of reaching the deepest layers of the skin with low levels of ultrasound energy to promote the production of collagen and elastin without damaging the outer layer of the skin and without undergoing a surgical procedure.
Benefits of Ultherapy®
-
Tightens & Lifts the Skin Non-Surgically
-
FDA Approved
-
Restores a Youthful Appearance
-
Little-to-No Downtime
What Can I Expect Following My Ultherapy® Treatment?
Results of Ultherapy® are typically visible after one Ultherapy® treatment session and ongoing results will continue to become visible in the months following treatment. Ultherapy® restores firmness to the skin and underlying tissues of the face and neck through the body’s natural healing process, resulting in continuing results following treatment.

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!

Many people are interested in enhancing their appearance, but their desired goals do not always require extensive surgery with a lengthy recovery time.
Non-invasive treatments are ideal for patients looking to achieve a refreshed and rejuvenated look by undergoing smaller procedures that can still provide long-lasting results.
Non-invasive treatments such as
Kybella®,
Lumecca,
Keravive®, and more are suitable alternatives for patients who are not interested in extensive surgery, but looking to improve their appearance.
What are the Benefits of Non-Invasive Treatments?
-
Little-to-no Downtime
-
Fewer Risks than Plastic Surgery
-
Less Post Procedure Side Effects
-
Long-lasting, Natural-looking Results
-
Shorter Procedure Duration
Kybella®
Kybella® is a double chin treatment that can directly target unwanted, excess fat underneath the chin resulting in a more defined, contoured jawline, neckline, and facial profile. It is difficult to eliminate the stubborn fat deposits from this area, and before Kybella®, liposuction was the only way to achieve a slimmer, more contoured jawline. Kybella® now offers a non-surgical alternative to liposuction to reduce the appearance of a double chin.
Lumecca
Lumecca utilizes intense pulsated light (IPL) therapy to reduce skin imperfections and address common skin concerns such as age spots, sun damage, spider veins, rosacea, and more. Lumecca is an FDA approved skin rejuvenation treatment that can provide dramatic results with fewer sessions than other IPL treatments, leaving patients with a healthy, glowing complexion. Lumecca can target problem areas on the face, neck, hands, legs, arms, and chest.
Keravive®
Keravive® can treat poor scalp health and stimulate the growth of healthy, thicker, and fuller hair in the process. An unhealthy scalp can result in symptoms such as dryness, clogged follicles, itchiness, oiliness, and more. As a result, your hair can become thinner, dull, and damaged. Sometimes, poor scalp health can result in hair loss, reduced hair growth, and changes in hair texture. Keravive® cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the scalp to restore scalp health and stimulate hair growth. With Keravive® patients can achieve a renewed and refreshed scalp and healthy hair.

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.
