About

Dr. Farhad Rafizadeh is a double board-certified plastic surgeon practicing in Morristown, New Jersey, with over 40 years of experience. He specializes in cosmetic surgery of the face, breast, and abdomen, including revision procedures. Dr. Rafizadeh emphasizes a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation, believing that dissatisfaction with the lower face often originates in the neck. He states that it is ineffective to perform a facelift without also addressing the neck, as they are fundamentally the same aesthetic problem. He is known for his expertise in the deep plane face & neck lift, which involves repositioning deeper muscle layers and releasing ligaments for natural, lasting results. He considers well-placed incisions, tucked along the hairline and around the ear, to be "half the art" of a natural outcome. For lip lifts, he uses a 'U-U-U incision' technique. He also offers AlloClae, an allograft adipose matrix, for patients without sufficient fat for traditional transfer, administered by injection in the office. Dr. Rafizadeh conducts every consultation himself, providing an honest assessment of which procedure, if any, a patient's anatomy truly calls for. He finds personal satisfaction in patient happiness, often humming Beethoven during a facelift reveal, and values the "magic moments" of unveiling rhinoplasty results.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Farhad Rafizadeh

Sourced directly from Dr. Farhad Rafizadeh's social posts and replies.

What is AlloClae and when is it used?
AlloClae is an allograft adipose matrix, which is donated, purified human fat tissue. It is an 'off the shelf' product used for patients who lack sufficient fat for traditional fat transfer, offering an alternative for soft-tissue refinement.
Source →
What are the procedural differences of AlloClae compared to traditional fat transfer?
Unlike traditional fat transfer, using AlloClae requires no fat harvest site from the patient and no incision. It is administered by injection in the office and does not require an operating room (OR).
Source →
How does AlloClae work?
AlloClae is not a filler that simply takes up space. It works as a scaffold, providing a structure for the patient's own cells to move into, building new tissue, collagen, and blood supply over time.
Source →
Is AlloClae considered a surgical augmentation?
No, AlloClae is not a surgical augmentation; it is intended for soft-tissue refinement for the right candidate.
Source →
What are the expected results and timeline for AlloClae?
Results from AlloClae build gradually as the patient's body integrates the material. Individual results vary, and how much 'takes' depends on the individual patient.
Source →
Is AlloClae a substitute for surgery?
AlloClae is a tool for a specific problem, not a shortcut around surgery for everyone. It is recommended for patients who have been told they are 'not a fat-transfer candidate'.
Source →
How many lip lift techniques does Dr. Rafizadeh offer?
The practice offers or utilizes three different lip lift techniques, with incision placement determined by the patient's individual anatomy instead of a standardized template.
Source →
How visible are rhinoplasty scars?
Scars from rhinoplasty are typically not noticeable. A closed rhinoplasty is performed entirely inside the nostrils, leaving no external scar. An open rhinoplasty involves a tiny incision across the columella that heals very well and is genuinely hard to find.
Source →
Which rhinoplasty technique is better: open or closed?
Neither open nor closed rhinoplasty is inherently 'better' than the other. The appropriate technique depends on the individual patient's nose and specific goals, not on which sounds more advanced online.
Source →
When is open rhinoplasty preferred?
Open rhinoplasty provides the surgeon with a direct view, which is beneficial for complex tip work, revisions, and ethnic rhinoplasty.
Source →
When is closed rhinoplasty preferred?
Closed rhinoplasty avoids the small external scar and is suitable for simpler changes to the nose.
Source →
How does Dr. Rafizadeh's deep plane facelift technique work?
The deep plane technique extends beyond the jawline, continuing under the neck. It involves repositioning the deeper muscle layer (the platysma) and releasing ligaments that contribute to downward pull, treating the deep layer of the face and neck as a single, connected structure.
Source →
What are the benefits of Dr. Rafizadeh's deep plane facelift technique?
By addressing the neck's deeper structures, the deep plane technique creates a jawline that maintains its sharpness over time, providing natural-looking and long-lasting results, unlike superficial skin-only lifts which only tighten the surface and can lead to the neck sagging again.
Source →
How visible are facelift scars?
Facelift scars are placed in locations where they won't be noticed, designed to be tucked along the hairline, around the curve of the ear, and into natural creases. This design ensures scars heal hidden and the result looks natural, not 'done'.
Source →
What are Dr. Rafizadeh's most in-demand procedures?
The deep plane face & neck lift and body contouring after GLP-1 weight loss are currently among the treatments filling the consultation calendar into 2026, indicating high patient demand.
Source →
Who conducts the consultations at Dr. Rafizadeh's practice?
Every consultation is conducted directly with Dr. Rafizadeh himself, ensuring patients receive personalized attention and expert guidance from the surgeon.
Source →
Does Dr. Rafizadeh share patient results on social media?
Dr. Rafizadeh appreciates and is happy when patients give permission to share their results on social media, highlighting his commitment to transparency and patient involvement.
Source →
What incision technique does Dr. Rafizadeh use for lip lifts?
Dr. Rafizadeh uses a 'U-U-U incision' technique for lip lifts, with incision placement determined by the patient's individual anatomy rather than a standardized template.
Source →
What are Dr. Rafizadeh's goals for a lip lift procedure?
With a lip lift, Dr. Rafizadeh aims to improve the lip to chin ratio to an ideal state, creating a balanced and aesthetically pleasing result.
Source →
Does Dr. Rafizadeh always perform lip augmentation with a lip lift?
No, Dr. Rafizadeh clarifies that a lip lift focuses on improving the lip to chin ratio and does not always include lip augmentation, depending on the patient's needs and desired outcome.
Source →
Does Dr. Rafizadeh perform combined procedures?
Yes, Dr. Rafizadeh performs complex combined procedures such as breast implant exchange, breast lift, and reverse abdominoplasty together in one thoughtfully planned procedure to achieve a balanced result for the whole torso, making it appear as one cohesive outcome rather than separate operations.
Source →
How visible are abdominoplasty scars?
Dr. Rafizadeh designs abdominoplasty incisions to be completely hidden, ensuring a discreet outcome.
Source →
Why might the upper abdomen be considered for treatment during breast implant exchange and lift?
Dr. Rafizadeh notes that when breast implants are exchanged and the breast is re-lifted, the upper abdomen often needs to be considered for treatment to achieve a balanced and cohesive result for the entire torso.
Source →
What does a reverse abdominoplasty achieve?
A reverse abdominoplasty tightens and refines the upper tummy, contributing to a more balanced torso aesthetic, and is performed through a discreetly placed incision.
Source →
How is gluteal contouring typically achieved?
Normally, softening and restoring contour in the gluteal fold involves fat transfer, where fat is liposuctioned from one area and moved to another.
Source →
When is fat transfer not an option for gluteal contouring?
Fat transfer is not possible when there is no fat available to harvest from the patient, which can limit options for gluteal contouring.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$58

Payments

1

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Farhad Rafizadeh received $58 across 1 payment in 2025. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation Inc..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
