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 [...]

Farhad Rafizadeh2017-01-22T19:44:19+00:00February 23rd, 2013|Categories: Breast, News|

RESULTS OF DIFFERENT PATTERNS OF BREAST LIFT, MASTOPEXY OR REDUCTION. NJ Published on February 23, 2013 Dr. Rafizadeh There are several techniques in performing a breast lift (mastopexy) and breast reduction. Traditionally an anchor shape or inverted T shaped closure is used to create an ideal breast shape. Several other closure patterns have been popularized in order to limit the scaring on the breast, but it is important to understand that these techniques do not necessarily produce the same results. Shorter scars is obviously desirable and is the reason many patients may opt for these options, but it is important for the [...]

WHAT IS THE BEST BREAST IMPLANT ?

andreraf2017-01-22T19:44:19+00:00February 9th, 2013|Categories: Braest reconstruction, News|

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.

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 [...]

How to choose the right plastic surgeon in New Jersey. NJ plastic surgery expert.

Farhad Rafizadeh2017-01-22T19:44:21+00:00September 12th, 2012|Categories: General, News|

What makes perfectly happy patients seek treatment elsewhere? I must say that I am fortunate to have very loyal patients who keep coming back to me year after year, but having said that I must admit that once in a while I am surprised to see that a patient has had a treatment done elsewhere. Most of the time this is a filler or a Botox treatment that the patient was offered by their dermatologist while they were being treated for something else and the patient decided to have that treatment done at that location as a matter of convenience. [...]

Face, beauty, proportion, New Jersey.

Farhad Rafizadeh2012-07-07T16:43:55+00:00July 7th, 2012|Categories: News|

What is it that makes a face or a body beautiful? This is a question that artists have asked themselves forever. There seems to be a universal beauty that exists across different races and is determined by a certain proportion. A proportion and harmony between the different constituents of the face and the body. Years ago when I started my practice, I was asking myself this same question. I had seen very capable plastic surgeons perform procedures that they thought were very successful, but the patient did not look good. For example, they would go to extreme measures to create [...]

Farhad Rafizadeh2012-06-12T22:48:21+00:00June 12th, 2012|Categories: News, Restylane, Juvederm, Botox (fillers and neuromodulators)|

How Botox works in the entire face. Dr Rafizadeh explains from Morristown NJ Neuromodulator like Botox, Dysport and Xeomin are all effective and approved by the FDA for cosmetic use in the glabellar area, the area between the eyebrows. These drugs all work by eliminating the function of small muscles that actively create wrinkles. We have been using these products in other areas of the face like the crow’s feet, forehead, bunny line and the neck platisma bands, with great success. There are other muscles that pull the corners of the mouth down (depressor anguli oris). These muscles can be [...]
