Patient Testimonials
Below, some of Dr. Rafizadeh’s patients have shared their experiences after undergoing treatment. We encourage those interested in pursuing treatment with us to read through these testimonials before scheduling your appointment.
When I was 50 years old, I found myself in need of a pick-me-up. I had been through both a personal and a medical crisis, and the tension they produced was apparent in my face.
I thought it was time for a facelift.
The process of visiting plastic surgeons was new to me. I had a total of five consultations with doctors in New York City; in each case I found that these physicians, no doubt competent, were ready to do more work than I had asked for. They tended not to listen to me, and had a more or less fixed idea of what procedures I should have, whether I wanted them or not almost like a formula. I was not comfortable with them.
Then a friend suggested that I see Dr. Rafizadeh. From the beginning of the consultation with Dr. Rafizadeh, I knew this was a different experience. He listened to me and made intelligent suggestions that had to do with my face, not a formula. He was sophisticated, elegant, warm, and comforting. I felt secure in his care, and I had my facelift performed by him.
The procedure itself was not uncomfortable, the aftercare was meticulous, and the results were absolutely amazing, much more than I had hoped for. I was still me, but people I knew noticed there was something different: I looked great and rested. In truth, I looked a lot younger. This surgery was a huge success.
I am 70 years old now, and I have continued to see Dr. Rafizadeh these many years for maintenance procedures, essentially fine tuning, a touch-up here and there, sometimes the use of injectables (Restylane®, Radiesse®, etc.).
Dr. Rafizadeh is truly an artist. I still look younger than my years, due to his skill and artistry. I believe truly that there is no-one like him in the field of plastic surgery.

I had a face lift with excellent results
I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. R. He is calm, pleasant and easy to talk to. Most importantly he is an ‘artist’ and the results are excellent.
In 2010, fewer than 3% of the nation’s 720,000 active physicians were honored with a Compassionate Doctor Award. Congratulations on your inclusion in this distinct group.
Dr. Rafizadeh,
You excel at treating patients, not just the disease. Your patients appreciate the kindness you have dispensed along with your medical care.
The Compassionate Doctor Award from Patient’s Choice is based on reviews written by hundreds of thousands of patients. While physicians generally receive positive feedback from patients, few receive high praise about the compassion that accompanies their care.
I had liposuction and fat grafting
He’s the best in the area. My father in law is a surgeon and he would send his patients to Dr R for reconstructive surgery after breast cancer and would be amazed with the results. Always pick a doctor that your own doctor would send his wife to!
I had Liposuction
If you want perfection, you will want Farhad Rafizadeh as your Doctor. Just go over to Morristown Memorial in the Carol Simon Cancer Center wing and ask who they love and respect for his tremendous experience and talent! Yes it will be Farhad Rafizadeh and I speak from experience. Thanks for all your help over the years.

Dr Rafizadeh Is an artist
I had a facelift with Dr. Rafizadeh and I am very pleased with the results. Everyone tells me how ‘rested’ I look and no one suspects I have had plastic surgery because the results are so natural. The Dr. is easy to talk to and the office staff is very friendly and helpful.
I had a mastectomy and Dr Rafizadeh did a TRAM flap Breast Reconstruction
I had a mastectomy with a TRAM reconstruction. Then I had the nipple surgery. He did an excellent job and you can not even tell that the breast was re-made. He is an artist.
I had an abdominoplasty by Dr Rafizadeh
I had a very positive experience with Dr. Rafizadeh’s office. The office is very friendly and helpful. I never waited for more than 5 minutes for an appointment. But most importantly, Dr. Rafizadeh’s surgical skills are excellent. I had an abdominoplasty and 2 days after surgery, I was already starting to walk around and spend time with my family. My recovery went really fast and very smoothly.
