Prophylactic mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction in New Jersey If you are at high risk of developing breast cancer a prophylactic (preventative) mastectomy is usually recommended. Patients with a strong family history of breast cancer and or a positive BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic mutations are at higher risks of developing breast cancer.

Quick recovery after breast augmentation in New Jersey

Farhad Rafizadeh2017-01-22T19:44:24+00:00December 11th, 2011|Categories: Breast, News|

Quick recovery breast augmentation is a technique that I learned from Dr Tebbet years ago and have been practicing it for many years in New Jersey. It involves the use of electrocautery for dissection of the breast pocket with no blunt dissection. The bleeding is less because all blood vessels are cauterized. Recently with better lighted detractors and slightly wider incision for inserting a silicone implants, it is easier to minimize trauma to the rib cage and make the recovery less painful and quicker. The pain after breast augmentation is usually related to the trauma to the periosteum, the [...]

What is the price of a face lift in New Jersey?

Farhad Rafizadeh2017-01-22T19:44:24+00:00November 29th, 2011|Categories: Facial rejuvenation., News|

A: What determines the price of a facelift in New Jersey? I should say that the price of a facelift is like the price of a bottle of wine. You can't expect a $5 bottle of wine to be any good, but you probably don't want to spend more than $50. The bottom-line is don't go for the cheapest or the most expensive. At the same time you don't want the price to be a factor in judging the quality of a facelift. Most plastic surgeons who do a good facelift, get a lot patient referrals. Face lifting is a long [...]

Upper lip Shortening or lift is an important element of facial beautification.

Farhad Rafizadeh2017-01-22T19:44:24+00:00November 16th, 2011|Categories: Facial Beautification, Facial rejuvenation., News|

Lip Lift, New Jersey The vertical length of the upper lip is an important element of the facial beauty. If one looks at photos of stunning models in the magazines, most of them have something in common an that is a relatively short upper lip. A shorter upper lip will allow the upper incisor teeth to show when the mouth is slightly open. There is no question that with age the upper lip lengthens and covers the upper incisors, instead the lower teeth become visible. This is one of those changes that happens in the aging face. Shortening the upper [...]

The Arm lift (Brachioplasty), how to get the best results in New Jersey.

Farhad Rafizadeh2017-01-22T19:44:24+00:00October 28th, 2011|Categories: Body, News|

Dr Rafizadeh of Morristown New Jersey classifies the arm lift candidates into three categories. The arms become a major problem after weight loss because they are exposed, especially in the summer time when people wear short sleeves. It is definitely more disturbing to see hanging soft tissue and skin after loosing part of the adipose tissue than before the weight loss when everything was tight. This is also referred to as bat wing deformity. Removing the extra skin and fat can leave a visible scar that we try to hide in the medial (inside) part of the arm, but raising [...]

Botox New Jersey | Botox NJ

Farhad Rafizadeh2017-01-22T19:44:24+00:00October 28th, 2011|Categories: News, Restylane, Juvederm, Botox (fillers and neuromodulators)|

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 [...]

Botulinum toxin gel application istead of injecting Botox.

Farhad Rafizadeh2017-01-22T19:44:24+00:00October 1st, 2011|Categories: News, Restylane, Juvederm, Botox (fillers and neuromodulators)|

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 [...]

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 [...]
