Corona Virus Update

2020-03-08T17:52:14+00:00March 8th, 2020|Categories: Healthy Living|

I just sent this email to all the members of my tennis club. I am going to chair the social committee this coming season and I thought everyone should be aware of certain precautions. I am sharing that email here for the benefit of my patients. Like many of you, I can’t wait to start our tennis season including the socials and round robins. Unfortunately, we are facing a viral epidemic around the world that started in China and is rapidly spreading. We are all closely following the developments and the epidemiology of this virus. I think it is [...]

Breast Reduction Techniques in Morristown N.J.

2019-08-04T19:11:11+00:00July 25th, 2019|Categories: General|

Dr. Rafizadeh uses multipple breast reduction techniques in Morristown N.J. There are essentially 5 different ways to reduce a breasts depending on the size, composition of the breast tissue, and how much of an uplift is desired by the patient. First there is a scarless reduction that works with breasts that are more fatty than glandular. This is essentially liposuction of the breast. With this technique there is considerable reduction and some shrinkage of skin, but less or no correction of the sagging breasts. All the other technique will result in more and less scarring. Reducing skin excess will [...]

Peri areolar or Benelli lift Morristown NJ

2019-06-30T13:54:12+00:00June 30th, 2019|Categories: General|

​Recently a patient with slight breast asymmetry and true drooping on the left asked if they were a candidate for a Benelli lift. This is the answer: Let us do a quick analysis of your situation based on three photos. On your right side, you have a pseudo ptosis as your nipple seems to be at or above your infra mammary fold. On the left, you have true ptosis. With the nipple below the fold. Both areole are large, but the left is larger. Therefore you would need a stronger lift on the left. The advantage of the vertical scar [...]

Can the Tummy Tuck Scars be Shorter in Morristown New Jersey?

2019-06-18T14:38:14+00:00June 18th, 2019|Categories: Body|Tags: , , |

The effort to make a scar shorter is part of every surgical decision that I make. I try to make the shortest scars in my facelifts, breast reductions, breast lifts and tummy tucks. In a TT we are challenged by the dog ears. The challenge is, how short one can make the scar and still avoid a dog ear. If the scar is too short the ends can be loose and produce a raised loose area that is called a dog ear. In many cases the loose skin extends to the sides and needs to be removed for the best [...]

Mini Tummy Tuck, Full Tommy Tuck or Just Liposuction?

2018-09-26T01:46:32+00:00September 26th, 2018|Categories: Body|

Mini Tummy Tuck, Full Tummy Tuck or Just Liposuction. Report from Morristown NJ This has to be the most common question that I get asked in Morristown NJ. I am sure that every plastic surgeon has to answer similar questions. The difference between the full and mini tummy tuck is all about the bellybutton. If you cut around that structure, lift the skin from the deep layers, stitch the muscles together to make the belly flatter, and move the skin above the BB, down to the pubic area, we would call the procedure a full TT. If you do liposuction and [...]

Coolsculpting or Liposuction

2018-05-04T18:17:34+00:00April 30th, 2018|Categories: News|

The area will remain numb and tingly. There could also be pain and tenderness associated with this treatment. In rare cases, there could be an overgrowth of fat in [...]

Breast Reduction and Augmentation or Minus, Plus procedure, Morristown NJ.

2018-02-15T18:31:26+00:00February 15th, 2018|Categories: Breast, News|

​If you have redundant and fairly large breasts with or without asymmetry, one optional procedure for you is a bilateral breast lift, but one thing to remember that no one is mentioning these days is that large breasts droop overtime. This is why I think a breast reduction and implant placement simultaneously makes a lot of sense. This concept of reduction augmentation or minus, plus is a bit strange, but because implants don’t sag as easily as the naturally large breasts, it is a good way to achieve larger and more uplifted breasts.
