10/10/2011 Here in Morristown New Jersey we offer a complete gamut of injectable services in addition to the surgical procedures. I believe that a plastic surgeon who is familiar with the anatomy of the facial muscles and their function, is best positioned to provide these services. Botox will paralyze about a half-inch segment of any facial muscle where it is injected. It is therefore extremely important to know which muscle to treat and for what purpose. The facial muscles are there to give us expression. Some expressions are very important and should not be changed. For example smiling. Asymmetry [...]

Is liposuction safe? Can liposuction improve your health?

Farhad Rafizadeh2017-01-22T19:44:24+00:00October 10th, 2011|Categories: News, Plastic Surgery|

Liposuction, which is a cosmetic operation, is the most frequently, performed cosmetic procedure. When done by the untrained providers, it can be a dangerous procedure causing complications including death. But can Liposuction be healthy for you, reducing the bad, artery clogging fats? This is exactly what was presented at the recent annual meeting of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. A new study, measured triglyceride and cholesterol levels in 322 patients undergoing liposuction and/or a tummy tuck. Most of the patients, 71 percent, had liposuction only. Triglyceride levels in patients with normal preoperative levels were unchanged. However, patients [...]

There is a gel on the horizon which is botulinum toxin based and is presently part of a phase 2 trial. 90 % of patients showed a favorable result as compared to 28% in the placebo group. This study was done in 90 patients with the objective of correcting crows feet and the results lasted 4 months. A second study of 180 patients didn't produce the same results; only 40% responded favorably. However, this is still promising news. A phase 3 trial still needs to be completed and we still can't predict many details, such as costs. Make sure you read [...]

New jersey, buttocks fat grafting, Buttocks augmentation NJ

Farhad Rafizadeh2017-01-22T19:44:24+00:00September 27th, 2011|Categories: Body, News|

Dr Rafizadeh has practiced fat graftion to the Buttocks in Morristown NJ For several years and has devised a simple way of looking at the lower back, flanks, hips, buttocks, trochanteric area and the upper thighs.He divides this region into three zones: He decribes his methode: The Blue zone on my drawing shows the area that is most often treated by liposuction to define the waistline and frame the upper buttocks by carving out the excess fat that is hiding the buttock’s definition. This could be enough if there is adequate volume and skin tightness in the buttocks. The Red [...]

Shaping of the lower trunk and buttocks with lipo-sculpting and fat grafting.

Farhad Rafizadeh2017-01-22T19:44:24+00:00September 27th, 2011|Categories: Body, News|

Shaping of the lower trunk and buttocks with lipo-sculpting and fat grafting. I wrote about the buttocks to breast relationship or buttocks to breast ratio on 9/16/11. I would like to concentrate today on the aesthetics of the buttocks and the lower trunk. Liposuction is one of our greatest tools in plastic surgery. When artistic principles are used to create the proper proportion between the waist, hips and buttocks you can expect true beautification of the female body. The buttocks go through the same process of aging as the face. The skin looses elasticity and there is relative [...]

Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Anesthesia to help with the post operative day pain after abdominoplasty ( tummy tuck ).

Farhad Rafizadeh2017-01-22T19:44:25+00:00September 20th, 2011|Categories: Body, News|

Pain after abdominoplasty is a problem immediately after the surgery and will subside in a few days. During this time the patients require pain medicine to make them more comfortable. It is also important that the patients get out of bed and move around to reduce the likelihood of clothing in the leg veins. What ever can be done to reduce the pain after the surgery will improve the patient’s recovery and comfort. Many methodes are used to reduce the pain including pain pump catheters insertion. I usually infiltrate the fascia on each side of the muscle repair as [...]

ART AND PLASTIC SURGERY. SHOULD A PLASTIC SURGEON BE AN ARTIST?

Farhad Rafizadeh2011-09-18T00:55:16+00:00September 18th, 2011|Categories: Dr Rafizadeh' s Art, News|

How my artistic background has helped me in my carieer in plastic surgery? Even as a child I was interested in drawing and painting. I started painting with oil at the age of ten. In high school, I took it more seriously and was considering a career in the arts. My father was very much against that idea and encouraged me to become a plastic surgeon. He used to say artists can’t make a living and most of them starve to death. He said, “There is only one Picasso and what are the chances that you will be like [...]

Farhad Rafizadeh2017-01-22T19:44:25+00:00September 17th, 2011|Categories: Body, News|

Buttocks New Jersey. Is there a golden proportion between buttocks waist and breasts? I have written previously about the notion of beauty in the human face and body. This is a subject that interests me greatly, both in an artistic sense and as a plastic surgeon. The aesthetics of the buttocks has a huge influence on the female attractiveness. This is the most important factor in some cultures and with the growing latino influence on the American culture, the buttocks is becoming as important as the breast in this country. I would like to write about this subject and bring [...]

What is the best age for plastic surgery?

Farhad Rafizadeh2017-01-22T19:44:25+00:00September 7th, 2011|Categories: Facial rejuvenation., General, News|

9/7/11 What is an appropriate age for plastic surgery? I was asked by a 19 year old, if she was a candidate for a tummy tuck. After one child her abdomen became loose, with excess skin and fat. Her situation could be acceptable for a 40 year old lady who is married and has few children, but not for a young lady who is just starting her adult life. I thought she was definitely a candidate for the procedure. Age by itself, should not be a criteria. For any given age a certain look is expected. This becomes an [...]

Efficiency in Face lifting ( rhytidectomy )

Farhad Rafizadeh2017-01-22T19:44:25+00:00September 4th, 2011|Categories: Facial rejuvenation., News|

You see and hear promises for fast recovery in face lifting, but these faster recoveries are often obtained because less is done and the results are poor or not long lasting. How to get maximum efficiency in face lifting? Efficiency means less bruising, swelling and faster recovery in exchange for a better result. To do this, one has to limit the dissection to what is absolutely necessary. The examination on how the skin attaches to the deeper structures is critical. In some people the skin is very mobile in others there are strong ligaments holding the skin attached to the [...]
