Breast Surgery

This is my other area of expertise. Breast augmentation, lift and reduction are routine in most plastic surgeons' practices, but by doing breast reconstruction with patient’s own tissues for so many years, I have mastered all these breast procedures. Safety was always my #1 concern. I never used textured implants in breast augmentation because I didn’t believe they made a positive difference. I introduced the Ideal Implant to our Northern New Jersey area as I believed it was the safest implant. Breast symmetry is very critical and often difficult to achieve if one doesn’t master the breast surgical techniques of reduction, lift, and augmentation. Abdominoplasty is often combined with breast enhancement surgery and is called mommy makeover. This is done to reverse the negative effects of pregnancy and child birth. Women’s breast and abdomen often undergo changes during pregnancy that can only be reversed by a combination of abdominoplasty, lipo and breast lift, augmentation or reduction

Face and Neck Lifts

I have mastered the facial surgery over my 35 years of experience to the point that I can achieve the most significant results with the shortest scars and the fastest recovery. Doing facial procedures like facelift, endoscopic brow lifts, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty and lip lifts under local anesthesia with moderate sedation makes the procedure less invasive, yet improves the overall result. I am convinced that this is the way of the future. Knowing all about the latest technology by attending many national and international conventions, I can evaluate my patients and offer them the best options. I understand that everyone is constantly searching for the magic wand to look younger and better. There are so many practitioners that are exploiting this desire by promising great result without an incision and with no recovery time. I feel that it is my job to educate my patients in order for them to understand their real choices and offer them the most effective and least invasive procedure

Lip Enhancement

48 Photos42 Reviews192 Q&A1 Offer
I realized the importance of lips in facial rejuvenation early and started enhancing the lips with SMAS grafts. These were the days before we had a good reliable filler. I would use a strip of SMAS from in front of the ears during a face lift operation and place it in the lips with a special clamp that created a small tunnel under the red part of the lip. I found this worked better than fat grafting. This was before Restylane came on the market. Restylane revolutionized the lip augmentation as it offered consistent results with no need for harvesting the material. The height of the philtrum or the distance between the base of the nose and the red of the upper lip was another area that deserved special attention. Since 2012, I've performed lip lifts alone on a regular basis on my face lift patients. Most plastic surgeons were unfamiliar with the benefits of this operation at that time. Today this has become a very popular procedure and is my super specialty.

This Was the Best Decision I Ever Made Concerning my Looks

My experience with Dr. Rafizadeh could not have been any better. He has a kind and caring personality. Aside from researching all of his testimonies and procedure photos, which were all exemplary, it was him as a person and his 40 years as a plastic surgeon expert that led us to decide on him. We had interviewed two other surgeons and walked of both of those meetings and knew immediately it was a no. It was because of how we were treated, it's just something you feel, like you are just another sale, and if they don't get your business, they have plenty others in line. With Dr. Rafizadeh, it was very different. It's a feeling you get when you meet with him, and if you choose to meet with him, you will understand.

Beyond ecstatic with the life changing results

5 stars is not enough! I'm anything but a "normal/typical" patient, I'm tough, a hard sell and do extensively thorough research; I consulted with 4 plastic surgeons & conducted much due diligence on each, Farhad being the 4th and who was referred by a friend whom he's worked on. From the onset of the consultation my gut feeling was this is the right guy, he mentioned several things the other 3 surgeons did not, and the other 3 were consulting more as "salesmen," rather than "real" surgeons. Farhad's demeanor, knowledge, experience and skill are undoubtedly second to none. I am beyond ecstatic with the life changing results of Farhad's highly skilled hands, he is truly a master of his craft. I & all those who know me could never have believed that such a huge "metamorphosis" was possible, but it is! Furthermore I experienced no pain or infection, minimal bruising & swelling, so much so that I believe Farhad was as surprised. Even more impressive is that he & Chris came in on Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend to remove the sutures. I'm definitely not one who is easily impressed nor one to give referrals, however I cannot say enough positives about Farhad & Chris, the incredible life changing results speak for themselves, if you're wanting/needing plastic surgery, this is absolutely the office to engage.

I got the exact results I hoped for

I will start by saying I am private person (and have therefore not included pictures) and have never written a review. But I would be remiss if I didn't submit a review on Dr. Rafizadeh. Like many, I was nervous when it comes to plastic surgery. I started going to Dr. Rafizadeh for fillers/botox at 40. Over time I knew I wanted to dive into surgery. My seemingly IMPOSSIBLE parameters? I want to look better, not different. Younger, not fake. I want to change things, but not so much that anyone would notice. Oh, and with my social calendar I needed very minimal post-op downtime. Not the easiest ask!! Well, I am here to tell you that after 10 years and 4 surgeries (lower blepharoplasty, breast implants, lip lift, and facelift) I got the EXACT results I hoped for each time. I remember being on this site pouring over photos and reviews. Every surgery I had with Dr. Rafizadeh drastically surpassed my expectations that I had, comparing to countless profiles and "after" pics online. The reasons I attribute to these incredible results are simple: 1. Physician skill 2. Physician experience 3. Physician's aesthetic Dr. Rafizadeh's skill allowed me to walk out of surgeries with the best post-op experience possible. Example? I was 1 week post facelift with ZERO bruising and minimal swelling. I was out to dinner 5 days post procedure. Fact! His extensive experience clearly provides him with all the best techniques to maximize results, all the while allowing his patients to walk away with virtually NO scars. Truly incredible. Lastly? Dr. Rafizadeh has an incredible eye. It should come as no surprise that he is an artist. Both his aesthetic and taste level are incredible, thus allowing him to give beautifully natural results, leading to very happy patients! I am extremely particular with very high standards. Those standards were exceeded by Dr. Rafizadeh. I couldn't recommend him highly enough with every service from injectables to the most complicated of surgeries. I hope this review helps anyone who is looking for a surgeon who you can trust to give you beautiful results that will be right in line with your loftiest expectations!

I feel like I look years younger

I had a great experience!! My philtrum was a bit long at 17mm after my rhinoplasty. I tried lip filler, but it just ended up migrating and making me look weird. I am so happy I made this decision. I feel like I look years younger (turning 40 in a few months). My scar is barely visible and healing very well. Dr Rafizadeh is a very skilled doctor!!! Highly recommend.

Life Changing Results

Dr. Rafizadeh is a surgical genius and my hero. I came to him after many years of dealing with complications from a previous surgery. He was compassionate, took the time to hear my story/history and devised a plan for treatment that put my concerns to rest. My first concern was the medical aspect of my condition (entropion of the eye that means the eyelid folds inward, resting against the cornea). It was quite painful and had over time created considerable restrictions on my lifestyle. Dr. Rafizadeh thoroughly explained the treatment he proposed to repair the eyelid that included bilateral lower lid blepharoplasty. The preparation and surgery were both seamless with virtually no pain and incredible results within days post-op. Not only did he correct the medical side, but he also gave me the gift of the beautiful eyes that I now enjoy. He has literally changed my life! I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Rafizadeh and his staff to anyone with medical concerns or just wanting to look their best.

I still looked like myself but a younger, more rested version of me

I went to several doctors to give an assessment for facial rejuvenation. However, when I went to Dr. Rafizadeh and met him and his assistant, Christine, I knew I was in the right place. His natural approach to plastic surgery and his charismatic personality won me over. After my lower face and neck procedure, the effect was so natural. This was confirmed by people's reaction to my new look. I still looked like myself but a younger, more rested version of me. When I saw my before and after pictures of my profile, I was so convinced I came to the right doctor. Also, Dr. Rafizadeh's after care is wonderful. I went back many times for him to check up on my progress. Christine is also a doll and the combination of both is so comforting when one decides to do something so personal. All my future "tweeking" will definitely be done by this team.

Gynecomastia Surgery

A Stellar Experience with Dr. Rafizadeh - overall aesthetic and symmetry of my chest greatly surpassed my expectations

I am writing to express my utmost satisfaction and gratitude for the exceptional gynecomastia surgery Dr. Rafizadeh performed on me. From start to finish, my experience at his office was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to the outstanding professionalism and care demonstrated by Dr. Rafizadeh. During my initial consultation, he displayed a remarkable level of expertise and knowledge, thoroughly explaining the procedure and patiently addressing all of my concerns. His compassion and genuine interest in my well-being left me feeling confident in my decision to move forward with the surgery. On the day of the procedure, his surgical skills were truly impressive. His precision and attention to detail were evident in the remarkable outcome of my surgery. Not only was the gynecomastia effectively addressed, but the overall aesthetic and symmetry of my chest greatly surpassed my expectations. His expertise truly shines through in the incredible results. Moreover, I would like to express my appreciation for Chris, who runs the office and kept me up to date with everything. From the moment I entered, Chris greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Her excellent organizational skills ensured that all administrative matters were taken care of efficiently, minimizing any stress or inconvenience for me. Her friendly and approachable nature made every communication with the office a pleasure. Together, Dr. Rafizadeh and Chris have created an environment that exudes professionalism, empathy, and excellence. The attention to detail and personalized care I received was unparalleled and left me with an overwhelmingly positive experience as a patient. I would highly recommend Dr. Rafizadeh to anyone considering gynecomastia surgery.

I look amazing - so happy with the results

For a few years, I've been staring at my sagging neck and decided to finally do something about it. I am 56 years old and it was time...and very well worth it. Dr Rafizadeh had done my breast surgery years ago and I was so happy with the results. I knew he would be the best surgeon for this new surgery. I trust him and he does exceptional work. So many people have told me how amazing I look and I feel great. If you're looking to make any self improvements, no need to keep searching. You want to see Dr. Rafizadeh. He is the best and his staff is very pleasant.

33, African American, mastectomy direct to implant - please go to Dr. Rafizadeh!

I am eternally grateful to have been under Dr. Rafidazeh’s care through my Single Stage Mastectomy - Direct to Implant Reconstruction surgery. He is truly a kind and compassionate provider. After initially consulting with other surgeons, I researched and discovered the direct-to-implant surgery approach in which the cancerous breast is removed and reconstructed with an implant during the same surgery. I found Dr. Rafizadeh online and learned that he is a pioneering surgeon behind this specific surgery. He was also highly recommended by the Surgical Oncologist who did my Mastectomy (Dr. William Diehl). If you need a Mastectomy and want a new breast, I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend having a Single Stage Mastectomy - Direct to Implant Reconstruction done by Dr. Farhad Rafizadeh and Surgical Oncologist Dr. William Diehl. (He and Dr. Diehl have worked together for years and are both such kind and thorough doctors). I relocated from Nashville to Jersey to be under their care and it is now two months after from my Mastectomy and I have zero pain, no lymphedema, no rehab needed, and a gorgeous breast that I feel great about. It was HUGE to be able to go through this process without losing touch with my femininity. Cancer had already spread to my nipple, so I was not able to do a nipple-sparing Mastectomy as I had hoped. Dr. Rafizadeh will construct a nipple mound and nipple in my second surgery. Dr. Rafidazeh is a true artist (literally. He paints too), and I appreciate how attentive he meticulously he approached my breast reconstruction. I highly recommend him and will never go to a different surgeon. His office staff is equally as kind and compassionate and that went a LONG way during my Cancer journey. (33 y.o. African American young woman)
