Mini Tummy Tuck, Full Tommy Tuck or Just Liposuction?

Farhad Rafizadeh2018-09-26T01:46:32+00:00September 26th, 2018|Categories: Body|

Mini Tummy Tuck, Full Tummy Tuck or Just Liposuction. Report from Morristown NJ This has to be the most common question that I get asked in Morristown NJ. I am sure that every plastic surgeon has to answer similar questions. The difference between the full and mini tummy tuck is all about the bellybutton. If you cut around that structure, lift the skin from the deep layers, stitch the muscles together to make the belly flatter, and move the skin above the BB, down to the pubic area, we would call the procedure a full TT. If you do liposuction and [...]

More information about Liposuction What is the difference between Liposuction and Coolsculpting? Coolsculpting is a non-invasive procedure that freezes your fat cells. The procedure takes about one hour and requires no anesthesia and no downtime. Patients typically experience minimal fat reduction and may require several sessions. Results can be seen in ideal patients within 2-4 months. There is a period when the skin is red and swollen. The area will remain numb and tingly. There could also be pain and tenderness associated with this treatment. In rare cases, there could be an overgrowth of fat in [...]

Breast Reduction and Augmentation or Minus, Plus procedure, Morristown NJ.

Farhad Rafizadeh2018-02-15T18:31:26+00:00February 15th, 2018|Categories: Breast, News|

If you have redundant and fairly large breasts with or without asymmetry, one optional procedure for you is a bilateral breast lift, but one thing to remember that no one is mentioning these days is that large breasts droop overtime. This is why I think a breast reduction and implant placement simultaneously makes a lot of sense. This concept of reduction augmentation or minus, plus is a bit strange, but because implants don’t sag as easily as the naturally large breasts, it is a good way to achieve larger and more uplifted breasts.

Farhad Rafizadeh2017-12-05T18:28:44+00:00October 23rd, 2017|Categories: News|Tags: gynecomastia, male breast reduction, plastic surgery|

Male Breast Reduction or Gynecomastia refers to excessive breast tissue in a male patient. This can be unilateral or bilateral affecting both breasts or just one side. This is perceived as a serious deformity by young men who come to the plastic surgeon to seek treatment. Some degree of excessive breast development, associated with some tenderness of the nipples happens at puberty in most boys, but this resolves spontaneously over time. Some teanagers experience excess breast tissue that doesn’t go away and is extremely embarrassing to them, especially in the locker rooms. The problem can be on one side [...]

Farhad Rafizadeh2017-06-25T04:29:15+00:00June 25th, 2017|Categories: hey|

Facelift Morristown Patient Inquiry Response. We often get patient inquiry from our website asking for additional information about facelift Performed by Dr.Rafizadeh. The following response is posted to answer these questions. With the passage of time, our face undergoes a true transformation. As the skin looses it's elasticity, the tissues migrate downwards creating jowls and the excess tissue under the chin and neck. Other features also get accentuated like the marionette lines. One also loses soft tissue and in some faces there is a true deflation noticed. Facelift is the most effective way to eliminate loose skin in the [...]

Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL) Associated with Breast Implants explained, Morristown NJ

Farhad Rafizadeh2017-04-19T13:53:34+00:00April 19th, 2017|Categories: Breast|

Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL) Associated with Breast Implants explained, Morristown N.J. Anaplastic large cell lymphoma associated with breast implants is not a completely understood entity. It is not clear if this is a lymphoproliferative disorder or a true cancer. It occurs extremely rarely in patients with breast implants and is confined to the capsule, the tissue that surrounds the implant. Clinically it appears as swelling of the affected breast, which is caused by a liquid accumulation in the breast implant pocket called a seroma. Aspiration of this liquid and cytologic examination confirms the diagnosis of Anaplastic Large Cell [...]

Subcutaneous Breast Reconstruction with form stable Implants, Wrapped with ADM.

Farhad Rafizadeh2017-01-22T19:44:09+00:00September 13th, 2016|Categories: Braest reconstruction|

Subcutaneous Breast Reconstruction with Form Stable Implants and ADM wrap There are many studies that show the advantages of the subcutaneous breast reconstruction versus the submuscular. This makes perfect sense because the breast mount was not created to be under the chest wall muscles. So why did we feel obligated to use the sub-muscular plane for implant breast reconstruction? The answer is that we needed coverage over the implants to make them less visible and also to avoid capsular contraction. Capsular contraction would give the breast a very unnatural appearance. The breast can turn spherical and hard when the [...]
