DON’T ALLOW MARKETING TO GET AHEAD OF SCIENCE Google the term “stem-cell face-lift” and you’ll get dozens of pages of results — including several for doctors advertising their version of the procedure. Here we definitely see marketing get a head of science. In May 2011, the task force (a collaboration between the American Society for Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) issued a position statement on the topic. After going through thousands of peer-reviewed articles published in medical journals on the use of stem cells in aesthetic procedures, they found only about a dozen that provided [...]

We continue to have great success with plastic surgery procedures under local anesthesia and this is becoming a specialty of ours. To perform this type of anesthesia successfully, the surgeon has to have experience in the field block anesthesia and have an in depth knowledge of the local anatomy. Patient selection is critical, as there are patients who may not be ideal candidates. The patients need to get a perfect bill of health from their internist or cardiologist. The blood pressure has to be normal or perfectly controlled. The patient has to be emotionally stable and be able to handle [...]

FILLERS BELOW EYES. HOW TO DO IT SAFELY.

andreraf2017-01-22T19:44:19+00:00March 3rd, 2013|Categories: News, Restylane, Juvederm, Botox (fillers and neuromodulators)|

I received a question on my facebook page from a prospective: Do you do filler injection under the eyes? I would like to answer this question by this post to make everyone aware of the issues in this particular anatomic location and how this should be done safely and effectively with no bruising and little to now discomfort and recovery time. For years I was doing filler injections to lips, nasolabial folds and cheeks, but not to the area around the eyes because of concern about intravascular injection that could potentially lead to blindness. I was looking for a safe [...]

WHAT IS THE BEST BREAST IMPLANT ?

WHICH IMPLANT WORKS THE BEST FOR MY BODY? The breast implants come in different shapes, are made by different manufacturers and they have different surface characteristics, but they all have something in common. They all have a silicone rubber shell that is filled either with saline or silicone gel. The old implants had a silicone gel that was more liquid and in case of implant rupture this gel would come out of the shell and in some cases out of the capsule that the body forms around the implant. The new gel is thicker and more cohesive. It keeps its [...]

NEW JERSEY PLASTIC SURGEON DR. RAFIZADEH IS A MASTER IN GETTING RESULTS AND FASTER RECOVERY. The facelift operation includes many steps that are learned over the years of training from teachers and mentors. Most plastic surgeons follow those recipes to perform the procedure. There are however steps that are less effective in producing the desired results but are sometime very invasive and produce more swelling, bruising, sometimes bleeding and other complications. After many years of experience Dr Rafizadeh is able to avoid the riskier maneuvers and do what is absolutely necessary to get the results. We have patients who look [...]

THE NEED FOR COLUMELLAR STRUT IN RHINOPLASTY IN NEW JERSEY.

andreraf2013-02-02T06:28:37+00:00February 2nd, 2013|Categories: News, Nose|

WHY IS A COLUMELLAR STRUT IS SOMETIMES NECESSARY IN A RHINOPLASTY? One of the complications of rhinoplasty is the loss of tip projection after the procedure, especially in cases where the tip cartilages are week and the tip is mainly suported by a high nasal bridge or the hump. In these cases the columella is reinforced with a piece of cartilage harvested from the septum, the so called columellar strut. If this is not done, one could develop a fullness above the tip which is not desirable and the aesthetic results would be poor. Dr Rafizadeh performs the open rhinoplasty [...]
