What Is a Lip Lift? A lip lift is a surgical procedure that shortens the space between the base of the nose and the upper lip — an area known as the philtrum. As we age, the philtrum elongates, which can make the upper lip appear thinner, hide the upper teeth, and contribute to an aged appearance. A lip lift restores youthful proportions by lifting the upper lip to reveal more of the vermilion (the pink part of the lip) and creating a more balanced, refreshed look.

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. This well-known saying means that beauty is subjective and depends on people’s individual taste. In plastic surgery, we do attempt to introduce some objective elements and guidelines. The golden ratio has been used as one of these guidelines and applies to many facial features. In the picture below, the part (B) is the before picture of a patient of mine on whom I performed a lip lift. The part (A) shows the same patient after her lip lift. The ratio between the nose to lip distance to the lip to chin [...]

Scars: Definition Plastic surgery is all about modifying the shape. As a matter of fact, the word “plastic” comes from the Greek “plastikos,” which means form. In order to modify the shape of the face or body, we often have to make incisions into the skin to either remove excess skin or access layers beneath it. When we suture the skin back together, the healing process begins. First, the two sides are joined by a glue-like material that the body forms, called a fibrin clot. We then have a period of inflammation and proliferation that allows microscopic blood vessels [...]

Farhad Rafizadeh2023-01-15T16:52:36+00:00January 15th, 2023|Categories: Breast, General|

Dr. Farhad Rafizadeh enjoys an extensive experience in breast surgery in Morristown New Jersey. He can offer the safest and most efficient procedures to patients who make the trip to Morristown to see him. Why do most plastic surgeons suggest a two-stage procedure when it comes to breast lift and augmentation or implant exchange? When a large implant is used over the muscle, most of the blood supply going from the muscle to the overlying skin is interrupted.
