Philosophy

Double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Mokhtar Asaadi says his biggest critic is himself, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. His philosophy: “If you are a perfectionist and you want to get the best results for your patients, you have to find better ways to achieve their goals. If something isn’t right, do it again until it is perfect. Patients appreciate the extra time you spend.” Patient safety is also of utmost importance to Dr. Asaadi. “Cosmetic surgery is elective; there’s no way I’d ever compromise a patient’s well-being.” Dr. Asaadi completed his post-doctoral training at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Southern Illinois University, Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital and Saint Barnabas Medical Center in New Jersey, where he currently serves as Chairman of the Department of Plastic Surgery.

A Minute With

1

WHAT SETS MY PRACTICE APART

I always focus on the whole picture. If a patient can’t afford a procedure, I tell them to come back when they can—I don’t want to take shortcuts because the results won’t be what they are looking for

2

MY DREAM INNOVATION

A solution to the mystery about fat and metabolic changes; discovering how to control hormones secreted from fat cells

3

MY MOST UNIQUE PERSONALITY TRAITS

Sensitivity to my patients’ needs and 100 percent effort to do my best in everything that I do for them

4

CAREER-DEFINING PROCEDURE

Lower blepharoplasty and the correction of the festoons (malar bags); this is one of the most difficult plastic surgery procedures because it requires skill, expertise, detailed knowledge of the periorbital area and an artistic ability that yields amazing results when done right

5

THREE THINGS EVERYONE SHOULD DO BEFORE SURGERY

Pick the right plastic surgeon, the correct procedure and the safest facility

6

THREE WORDS THAT BEST DESCRIBE ME

Pioneer, perfectionist, caring

7

THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS MEDICAL MYTH I’VE HEARD

That you can get more with less

WHEN YOU KNOW YOU’RE READY FOR SURGERY

When you look in the mirror and do not like what you see and noninvasive procedures are no longer a solution

My honesty

10

Blepharoplasty

11

WHAT IS YOUR SURGICAL NICHE?

The surgical correction of difficult eyelids, festoons and malar bags

12

WHAT ACCOLADES MEAN THE MOST TO YOU?

The happiness and satisfaction of my patients

13

WHAT TREND DO YOU THINK PEOPLE STILL DON’T GET?

Patients are looking for magic bullets and miracles ! They want the best results with no downtime. I always tell them as a general rule that more aggressive treatments have longer recovery times but better results. I spend a lot of time with every patient to know exactly what they want while considering their lifestyle

14

WHAT SURGICAL TRENDS ARE YOU SEEING AT YOUR PRACTICE?

The demand is high for less-invasive procedures with no downtime and immediate results. This is the main reason that injectables like Botox Cosmetic and fillers are so popular in my practice. Just like surgical procedures, it takes many years of experience to get excellent results with these noninvasive procedures. Every patient has a different anatomy and each procedure should be custom made for each one

15

WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOUR PRACTICE OFFERS THAT IS REALLY UNIQUE?

We offer a “CORE Abdominoplasty” procedure that restores and repairs abdominal muscles during a tummy tuck, which is different than the traditional way muscles are repaired. This really helps patients with chronic lower back pain. We also use VASER ultrasound liposuction to get rid of fat and our “MASTERTUCK” treatment to tighten skin, which is perfect for candidates who do not need a surgical tummy tuck

16

WHAT NEW SERVICES ARE YOU EXCITED TO OFFER?

Nonsurgical rejuvenation of the eyelids and face with the use of Botox Cosmetic, dermal fillers, laser skin resurfacing and chemical peels

Breast augmentations without the risk of capsular contracture

18

WHY DO YOU PLACE A STRONG EMPHASIS ON BODY CONTOURING?

It changes people’s lives!

19

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE MOST EXCITING THING GOING ON IN THE FIELD RIGHT NOW?

The benefits of adding fillers or fat grafting in combination with a facelift
