- Medical Weight LossSagging breasts are a natural part of aging, childbearing, nursing and significant weight loss — but “natural†doesn’t always mean “welcome.†These life milestones cause the skin to lose elasticity which, in turn, causes the breasts to lose their youthful shape and firmness. Try as you might to accept these changes, it can be hard to embrace your new body and feel just as sexy and confident as you did before. Fortunately, there is a solution.
- Primary CareYour surgeon will always consider your overall wellness and will never put you at risk simply to make the surgery safer. In difficult cases, we can work with your primary care physician to find the best path forward.
- Emergency CareI would like to take a brief moment to say thanks for all that you have done with regard to the treatment of my injury. Although an unfortunate accident, I feel very lucky that you were on call in the emergency room at the hospital. Without your intervention I most likely would have lost part of my finger. You assured me that you would do everything in your power to preserve it and you followed through with your promise.What I immediately recognized is that you took a sincere concern in my situation and that you were genuinely interested in making sure that I was comfortable during the procedure. You made sure that each step was performed correctly and thoroughly while explaining everything to me during the process. All of this put me at ease which, given the situation, was much appreciated.
- PregnancyA woman’s body undergoes many changes during pregnancy and childbirth. Hormonal changes increase breast size, weight gain can cause new fat deposits to appear, and the abdominal muscles may weaken or separate to accommodate a growing baby. Although these changes are natural, they are often permanent and can have a negative impact on your self-esteem. Yet despite a healthy diet and regular exercise, most women need a little extra help to reclaim their pre-baby body shape and contours.
- Labor and DeliveryMany women find that pregnancy and childbirth take a significant toll on their bodies. In fact, a phrase we often hear from many of our New Jersey female patients is, “I want my body back!â€

- UltrasoundLiposuction is performed through small, inconspicuous incisions on the chest. Dr. V often uses VASER liposuction, which employs ultrasound technology with a vibrating handpiece to break down the breast tissue. VASER is short for vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance. This technology loosens the fat cells and separates them from the deeper tissues, making it easier for Dr. V to effectively vacuum suction the fat cells out of the body with liposuction.
- General SurgeryDr. Vasisht began his training at Boston Medical Center in general surgery and finished his general surgery training at Staten Island University Hospital. He completed a residency in Plastic and Reconstructive surgery at UMDNJ- New Jersey Medical School. Dr. V was appointed the administrative chief resident in Plastic Surgery during the last year of his training. He went on to complete a hand and microsurgery fellowship at University of Connecticut- Hartford Hospital.
- Minimally Invasive SurgeryLiposuction is a minimally invasive surgery that is performed to remove pockets of excess fat that refuse to respond to a healthy diet or exercise. If you have stubborn fat in certain areas, it may simply be a result of your natural physiology and genetics – some people tend to hold on to excess fat on specific parts of their body.
- Ear SurgeryUnfortunately, no other procedure besides ear surgery can address these cosmetic concerns. While facial blemishing and even wrinkles and fine lines can be treated with nonsurgical procedures to some degree, there is nothing available on the market that can address the size or protrusion of the ears. We need ear surgery because, frankly, there are no other options.
- Reconstructive SurgeryThe issue of breast implant safety has been a hot topic throughout the last few decades. As a result, more stringent standards have emerged in order to protect patients. Current breast implant procedures primarily use silicone shell implants filled with a saline solution. Occasionally, silicone-gel filler is used; but this is highly regulated by the FDA, and generally only acceptable in reconstructive surgery procedures. Rarely, an implant will rupture or leak. With saline implants, the saline is safely absorbed into the body. The effect of silicone-gel leaking into the body is still being researched. If rupture or leaking is detected early, the implant can be easily replaced. Other possible complications from breast implant surgery may include blood clotting or pooling, overly sensitive breasts or loss of sensation in the breasts, and capsular contracture (a hardening of the tissues surrounding the implant). Our expert team is dedicated to making your operation a smooth one. We take every precaution necessary to reduce the possibility of any complications.
- BotoxBotox® is a procedure using Botulinum Toxin, which was developed to treat the visual signs of aging by reducing or removing wrinkles. The procedure is considered a safe, effective way of treating aging skin. Common areas for Botox® injections include horizontal forehead furrows, vertical lines between the eyebrows and “crow’s feet” around the eyes. Botox® has proven to be the best non-surgical form of facial rejuvenation and is capable of producing phenomenal improvements in your appearance.
- Eyelid SurgeryThis is why many people turn to eyelid surgery. They want their physical appearance to reflect the energetic, confident and well-rested person on the inside. Eyelid surgery is one of the most reliable ways to make that dream a reality.
- LiposuctionLiposuction (or lipoplasty) is a body-sculpting procedure to remove fat that is unresponsive to dieting and exercising. This procedure can be applied to nearly any area of the body and is commonly used on multiple areas during an operation. Liposuction results in a slimmer and better proportioned figure. Liposuction is used effectively to reduce love handles, saddlebags, a double-chin, a bulge around the waistline, or other unsightly fatty deposits in order to develop a better shape and create a more beautiful body.
- Breast AugmentationPutting my surgery in Dr. Vasisht’s hands was the smartest thing I had done throughout the whole process. I explained to him what I wanted my breast augmentation results to look like and the size I wanted. He recommended that I go slightly lager (a few more cc’s) than I planned. I told him to see what looks best on the operating table and decide from there, putting the decision in his hands. I am so glad that I did!! They are the perfect fit for my body, yet conservative. I would have been disappointed if I went any smaller.
- Breast ReductionI saw many doctors and Dr. V was the most thorough and the only one I felt comfortable with. He made me feel comfortable through the whole procedure. The results of my breast reduction/lift are amazing!â€
- Breast LiftA breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, is a cosmetic procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts. New Jersey plastic surgeon Dr. Bhupesh Vasisht performs this procedure to elevate the breasts and give them a more youthful appearance. He has treated many women in the South Jersey and Philadelphia areas, helping them achieve uplifted contours that make them feel beautiful whether they’re in clothing, lingerie or nothing at all. To schedule your free, one-on-one consultation with Dr. Vasisht, please call (856) 322-8100.
- Breast ReconstructionBreast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that uses implants to enhance the shape and size of a woman’s breasts. It can be an excellent option for patients who want a fuller profile, who have undergone breast reconstruction and want to regain a more natural look, or who have lost breast volume due to pregnancy or nursing. Historically, breast augmentation has been the most common cosmetic surgical procedure performed in the United States. Whether you’re looking for a small bump in cup size or want to take a big leap, Dr. V is here to help you look and feel your best.

- Thigh LiftA thigh lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin in the thighs, creating a tighter, slimmer, more youthful and vivacious contour. The recovery time is about four to six weeks and the results are permanent if properly maintained. It is a very common procedure; more than 9,000 were performed throughout 2020. They are often used as part of a bigger aesthetic treatment plan since they excel at accentuating contours on the buttocks and hips.
- BlepharoplastyBlepharoplasty is a surgical operation, which means that you will need to make sure you are free from a few risk factors before being cleared as a strong candidate. Some preexisting conditions can impact impose additional surgical risks. In those cases, you may not be eligible for treatment. Luckily, those conditions are few and far between, and our office can work with you to develop an alternative treatment plan.
- AbdominoplastySometimes simply dieting and exercising are not enough to take care of waistline problems. Post-pregnancy changes to the abdominal fat and skin can be devastating. In such cases, a patient may wish to consider a tummy tuck (or abdominoplasty). A tummy tuck is the surgical removal of excess skin or fatty deposits from the abdomen, along with the repositioning of abdomen muscles into a tighter formation. This enhancement procedure is designed for those who wish to have a flatter and tighter stomach. It is also helpful in remedying the vertical separation of abdomen muscles, known as diastasis, which can occur following pregnancy.
- Nose SurgeryInsurance providers generally cover costs for reconstructive surgery but not for cosmetic surgery. For example, insurance providers will often pay for breast augmentation to reconstruct a breast following a mastectomy; breast reduction to remedy back pain caused by heavy breasts; eyelid surgery to remove sagging skin that blocks vision; nose surgery to allow for a patient to breathe better; or tummy tucks to remedy the vertical separation of abdomen muscles known as diastasis. Insurance providers are required by law to cover breast reconstruction surgery and any cosmetic operations necessary to create symmetry in either breast. If your surgery is covered by insurance, pre-certification is required.
- Body LiftPost-bariatric body lift treats a lot of the same problems that something like a Daddy Do-over or Mommy Makeover would treat. Instead of worrying about just one particular area, it focuses on restoring multiple parts of the body, like the arms, abdomen, flanks, legs or anywhere that would benefit from skin removal or tightening.
- Breast SurgeryOne of the challenges of breast surgery is deciding who can benefit from a mastopexy. There are many factors to consider. Pregnancy and massive weight loss can change the location of the breasts on the body, and not for the better. Most women remember what their body looked like before they had children or lost weight, when their breasts were youthful and perky. Now their breast tissue is deflated and drooping. “I call it the fall from grace,†says Dr. V. “My job is to restore a graceful appearance to the breasts.â€
- OtoplastyOtoplasty is not limited to children and may also be performed on older patients. Cosmetic procedures are available for those individuals with large ears and those with congenital (birth) irregularities that detract from their appearance.
- Body ContouringIn 2010, CoolSculpting received FDA approval and has quickly become one of the most well-known methods of body contouring and fat reduction – in fact, more than four million CoolSculpting procedures have been performed around the world.
- GynecomastiaGynecomastia is the abnormal development of female-like breasts in men. This excess breast tissue may be in the form of glandular tissue, fat and/or skin on the chest.
- Cosmetic SurgeryTypically, post-operative instructions call for plenty of rest and limited movement to speed up the healing process and reduce the recovery time. New Jersey patients sometimes report minor pain associated with surgery which can be treated with oral medication. While complications are rare, patients can minimize potential problems by carefully following the post-operative directions given after the surgery. The healing process for this procedure is slightly longer than most other forms of cosmetic surgery; however, the benefits are long-lasting. Patients will have a more rested and youthful appearance.
- DermabrasionThe procedure is very straightforward. The area that is going to be addressed will be thoroughly cleaned prior to the procedure. Once that is finished, a medical-grade wand will be applied across your skin. This device uses small crystals to blast the surface layer of skin away and achieve the natural healing process. This process will be repeated until the amount of correction is achieved. Once the dermabrasion is complete, the skin will be cleaned once again to help prevent infection or inflammation. Then, you will be sent back to your usual routines.
- Bariatric SurgeryIf you’re considering a body lift, Dr. Vasisht can evaluate your concerns and determine if this procedure is right for you during an in-person consultation. Ideal candidates should be at a stable weight, in good overall health and have reasonable expectations regarding the outcome of their procedure. If you’ve recently had bariatric surgery, you should plan on waiting for 12 to 18 months before undergoing a body lift. Taking the time to reach your weight loss goals first can prevent more loose skin from developing and undoing your results.
- Skin CancerChemical peels improve the appearance and health of your skin. Not only do they remove damaged skin cells, but they can also clear precancerous growths. According to a 2020 systematic review on chemical peels, there is no evidence they increase the risk of skin cancer, and they may even be protective.

- Chemical PeelsA chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the texture and tone of your skin. With this procedure, a chemical solution is applied to the skin surface, causing its outermost layers to peel off. This prompts a healing process that generates new skin cells, revealing a youthful and vibrant glow with fewer blemishes.
- Rashes
- Skin CareWhile the results you experience from Hydrafacial are not permanent, they can be long-lasting if you practice proper skin care maintenance. Wear sunblock often, find a daily routine appropriate for your skin, eat healthily and stay active (while protecting yourself against UV exposure).
- MicrodermabrasionHaving a complexion that you are not happy with can be tough. It can ruin your confidence and bring up feelings of self-consciousness during unwanted times or occassions. Unfortunately, there is also little you can do at home to address a dull or aged appearance on your own. For reliable results, you need something that is proven effective; you need something like microdermabrasion.
- PsoriasisIn addition to facial skin concerns, microneedling can also be an effective treatment for reducing the appearance of stretch marks on other areas of the body. While microneedling is an optimal solution for a wide range of skin types and concerns, patients who are pregnant or have skin diseases such as psoriasis or eczema may not be ideal candidates for the procedure.
- Sports MedicineThe Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) facial, is a minimally-invasive and nonsurgical cosmetic procedure that works to rejuvenate the skin and reverse early signs of aging by injecting your own blood directly into the dermis layer of your skin. Plasma has been utilized successfully for decades in the medical community to promote faster healing and reduce inflammation in common sports injuries and orthopedic conditions with incredible results. Now, these same benefits are being applied to the skin to improve the quality, texture and appearance of your complexion from the inside out with minimal side effects and downtime.
- Physical TherapyThese symptoms can become a health issue for women with overly large breasts and even restrict normal activities. While physical therapy, massages or heat packs can help manage the pain for a short time, the relief is temporary and doesn’t provide a long-term fix. The only permanent solution to eliminating breast size-related discomfort is to address the root of the problem with breast reduction surgery.
