Calf augmentation can add natural-looking shape and definition to the calves for a more sculpted lower body. Many patients are not satisfied with the size of their calves, even after consistent exercise; this is because genetics play a large part in determining overall calf shape. At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we offer calf implants as a long-lasting solution to a lack of calf size. Your calf implants can be customized by shape in order to best complement your individual proportions. Learn more about calf augmentation below.
How Does Calf Augmentation Work?
During calf augmentation, your plastic surgeon will place either 1 or 2 silicone calf implants, depending on your leg size and shape. Incisions are made at the back of your knee and a pocket is created. Your calf implants are then placed into this pocket.
What Can Calf Implants Achieve?
Calf implants can increase calf size while also enhancing calf definition for a more contoured lower body. Calf augmentation is designed to achieve long-lasting results that fit in with your overall profile. Ideal calf implants should add natural-looking size and shape without seeming disproportionate to your thighs or quads.
What Kind Of Downtime Can I Expect?
Calf augmentation patients should expect moderate swelling and bruising to occur for a few weeks following the placement of calf implants. Strenuous activity should be avoided for 1-2 months to allow for optimal healing, but patients can usually return to work and normal walking within 2 weeks.
Who Are Ideal Calf Implant Candidates?
Calf implants are not just for men! Both male and female patients can undergo calf augmentation to accentuate calf size. If you are dissatisfied with the shape of your calves and would like to add natural-looking definition to your legs, then calf implants may be right for you.

Rejuvenate your eyes and restore youthful-looking eyelids without undergoing surgery. Dr. Asaadi’s Young I Rejuvenation is a non-surgical blepharoplasty technique that uses Botox® and cosmetic fillers to improve wrinkling and fine lines around the eyes. Unlike traditional eyelid surgery, Young I Rejuvenation can achieve natural-looking results with no downtime or recovery. Learn more about non-surgical blepharoplasty below.
Young I Rejuvenation Overview
During Young I Rejuvenation treatment, Botox® is injected around the eyelids to target crow’s feet and fine lines. Botox® can temporarily ease facial wrinkles caused by muscle activity, leading to a smoother-looking appearance. Next, cosmetic fillers are strategically injected into deeper wrinkles and hollows under the eyes. Dr. Asaadi typically utilizes Juvederm® as his filler of choice for Young I Rejuvenation. Juvederm® is injected into lower eyelid wrinkles using a small cannula to allow for increased precision. Juvederm® can fill in hollows to add natural-looking definition to the eyelids.
Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty Results
Non-surgical blepharoplasty can yield temporary, natural-looking results. Young I Rejuvenation can ease crow’s feet, wrinkles, and hollows around the upper and lower eyelids. Results can typically be seen immediately. Non-surgical blepharoplasty can last years before follow up treatments are necessary.
Young I Rejuvenation Recovery
Since Young I Rejuvenation is completely non-surgical, there is no healing time required after undergoing treatment. Non-surgical blepharoplasty patients can resume their daily activities immediately. Slight swelling or inflammation may occur for a very brief period of time immediately following Young I Rejuvenation before subsiding.
Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty Candidates
Patients who are looking to reduce wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes are generally considered candidates for non-surgical blepharoplasty. Additionally, patients seeking a non-invasive alternative to traditional eyelid surgery may be Young I Rejuvenation candidates. Dr. Asaadi can discuss if non-surgical blepharoplasty is right for you during your consultation at our New Jersey or New York plastic surgery offices.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about Young I Rejuvenation, Botox®, and cosmetic fillers, as well as our non-invasive treatments. 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!

Are you looking to improve your complexion and skin texture? Over time, a variety of factors may affect your skin tone, including sun damage, blemishes, acne scarring, wrinkles, and fine lines. Recent skin care advancements have led to an effective anti-aging solution – microneedling and PRP (platelet rich plasma) treatment. When used together, micro needling and platelet rich plasma therapy can improve skin texture and elasticity for youthful-looking results.
Microneedling Overview
Microneedling, also referred to as collagen induction therapy, creates microscopic holes in the skin using a COSMOPen tool. These tiny punctures stimulate a natural healing response from your body, resulting in the production of new collagen and elastin fibers to reinforce skin structure. Micro needling can be performed on the face, neck, and arms, as well as other areas of your body.
PRP Treatment Overview
PRP treatment, also known as platelet rich plasma therapy, uses the platelet rich plasma found in your blood to aid healing. During your PRP procedure, a blood sample is taken and your platelet rich plasma is isolated and spun in a centrifuge. Your PRP is then injected into the treatment area to aid your body’s natural healing mechanisms.
How Do Micro Needling And PRP Work Together?
Micro needling and PRP can work together to improve skin tone and texture while stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. Microneedling can help the skin absorb platelet rich plasma injections, while PRP therapy can further accentuate your skin’s healing response following micro needling.
What Type Of Results Can I Expect?
Combining micro needling treatment with platelet rich plasma therapy can achieve natural-looking enhancements to your complexion. Microneedling and PRP can treat a variety of different conditions, including sun damaged-skin, wrinkles, acne scars, and blemishes. Microneedling results are usually seen after 1 treatment, but 3-6 sessions are typically recommended for ideal improvements to skin texture.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about microneedling and PRP, as well as our non-invasive treatments. 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!

Would you like to improve the appearance of your eyebrows? Many patients are not satisfied with their eyebrows due to a sparse, thinning look. Microblading is an innovative non-surgical treatment to enhance your eyebrows for a more defined appearance. Asaadi Plastic Surgery provides microblading to help patients achieve fuller, beautiful eyebrows. Learn more about microblading below.
What Is Microblading?
Microblading, also known as microstroking or eyebrow embroidery, uses permanent makeup techniques to emulate your natural eyebrows. During your micro blading procedure, a specialized micro-pen is used to create symmetrical strokes on the skin. These strokes are colored and shaped to closely match your eyebrow hair.
Micro Blading Procedure Overview:
The initial part of your microblading procedure involves drawing the desired shape of your eyebrows with a removable pencil liner, as well as finalizing the desired color. Next, your eyebrows will be carefully enhanced using a micro-pen, which delivers strokes onto your skin. A topical anesthetic is usually administered during your microstroking procedure to minimize any discomfort.
Is There Downtime?
There is no downtime necessary after undergoing microblading and you can resume your daily activities immediately. Your eyebrows will heal over the next 2-4 weeks. Patients are encouraged to avoid exposure to the sun, as well as certain creams, for the initial weeks following microblading. You will be given specific aftercare instructions following your microstroking treatment.
What Kind of Microblading Results Can I Expect?
Microblading can achieve natural-looking, pronounced eyebrows. Patients can typically see final results after 1 month. Microblading is designed to yield long-lasting results.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about microblading, as well as our permanent makeup 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!

Are you bothered by diet or exercise-resistant fat? Oftentimes, traditional weight loss methods are not enough to fully eliminate love handles, bulging, or small pockets of stubborn fat. VASER® LipoSelection can carefully target problem areas, including the neck, arms, breasts, abdomen, back, and legs, to remove unwanted fat and enhance body contours. VASER® Lipo also promotes skin tightening to help add firmness to your physique. Asaadi Plastic Surgery provides VASER® LipoSelection as a minimally invasive alternative to traditional liposuction.
VASER® Lipo Overview
During VASER® Lipo treatment, a tiny cannula is placed below the skin. The cannula delivers ultrasound energy to excess fat cells, liquefying these fat cells with precision. Unwanted fat is then removed from the body. Additionally, heat from the VASER® device encourages collagen production beneath the skin, tightening skin and improving skin elasticity.
VASER® LipoSelection Target Areas
VASER® LipoSelection can target a variety of different treatment areas, such as the face, neck, breasts, arms, midsection, flanks, back, thighs, and legs. Patients can also choose to have multiple parts of the body treated during 1 VASER® Lipo procedure.
VASER® Lipo Vs. Traditional Liposuction
VASER® LipoSelection is minimally invasive and requires less downtime and recovery than traditional liposuction. Patients generally experience minimal bruising and swelling that should dissipate within a few weeks. Additionally, VASER® Lipo promotes significant skin tightening.
VASER® LipoSelection Results
VASER® LipoSelection can achieve long-lasting improvements to facial and body contours. Patients can expect a slimmer, firmer-looking appearance, as well as a reduction in bulging or love handles.
Dr. Asaadi and our staff welcome any questions you may have about VASER® LipoSelection, 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!
