About the Surgeon
Board certified in both General Surgery and Plastic Surgery by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Rafizadeh has practiced in Morristown, NJ since 1984. A Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS) and active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), he has been recognized as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor and NJ Monthly Top Surgeon year after year.
Before becoming a surgeon, he was an artist. That innate sense of proportion, harmony, and the golden ratio informs every procedure he performs — delivering results that look natural, not operated. His patients — most of them in their 50s, 60s, and 70s — describe the goal the same way: “refreshed, not different” — you, just rested. That philosophy of conservative, natural rejuvenation has defined the practice for four decades.

Dr. Rafizadeh is among a select group of surgeons in the New York–New Jersey region who performs the deep plane facelift as his primary facial rejuvenation technique. Unlike the superficial SMAS facelift, the deep plane approach releases facial ligaments at their root, restoring volume, lifting the midface, and producing results that look decades younger — without the "pulled" appearance.
