While considering a tummy tuck and a breast augmentation, Sandra a 46 year old mother of three, decided to get herself in shape.  She lost 25 pounds but was still feeling uncomfortable with her body, so Sandra decided to go ahead and have a tummy tuck.

New Jersey is home to many plastic surgeons, and Sandra saw three other doctors for consultations but chose The Parker Center for several reasons.  First, she was thrilled that the surgery could be done on the premises; she didn’t want to be in a hospital. Second, Sandra loved the staff at The Parker Center. Third, in her first consultation with Dr. Parker she felt he was very caring, and really understood her goals for surgery.

At 55, Susan had had enough of the tummy fat and “flat tire” around her mid-section. She decided it was time to reclaim her body from the fluctuating hormones and side effects of menopause. So, she called New Jersey plastic surgeon, Dr. Paul M. Parker, and set up a consultation for liposuction and breast implants.

“I’ve always thought about breast implants, but for the longest time, I was ok with what I had,” she says. “But, once my athletic body started changing so drastically after menopause, I knew it was time to act. My breasts were looking smaller, my midsection was getting thicker. My athletic body was turning into a pear shape.”

Recently, the NY Times published an article by Laura Holson titled, “A Little Too Ready for Her Close-Up,” which spurned a media conversation about Hollywood’s sudden about face when it comes to plastic surgery. Casting directors have been sending away actors who have obviously had plastic surgery.

“Frankly, I’m surprised by this conversation,” says Dr. Parker. “I would have thought something like this would have occurred years ago.” It looks like Hollywood is finally catching on to what the Parker Center knew along. For years, the two main goals here have been natural-looking results and a speedy and painless recovery. Dr. Parker calls this “plastic surgery common sense.”

New Jersey plastic surgery procedures when she came to see us in May 2009 for a liposuction consultation. She had lipo of the abdomen 15 years ago with a different surgeon which explains some of her apprehension before her first procedure at The Parker Center.

“I was in agony after my first liposuction of the abdomen,” she says. “And I think I had one post-op follow-up and never saw my surgeon again.”

When asked how her experience 15 years ago compared with her experience with Dr. Parker, she says, “It was completely different. I never even filled my pain medication prescription.”

28 year-old model, Mesha Seville, wanted to make some minor improvements to her nose by narrowing the tip and nostrils just a bit.

“I liked my nose, it just needed a few tweaks,” she says. “I wanted a little softer look to my face.”

So, she scheduled an appointment at The Parker Center for Plastic Surgery in New Jersey. Rhinoplasty wasn’t the first surgery New Jersey plastic surgeon, Dr. Paul M. Parker, performed on her. Last year Mesha had liposuction of the waist and back. She was referred to him by a friend who worked for a doctor that refers a lot of patients to Dr. Parker.

Due to their similar outlook on how their practices should run, Dr. Zweibel featured a post written by Dr. Parker on his site’s blog. It’s regarding our website and how thorough and educational it can be for patients considering plastic surgery.

Here is a preview:

Whether you’re thinking about boosting your breasts, trimming your belly, reshaping your facial features or full body contouring, plastic surgery has something to offer. A simple surgical procedure can get you the New You that you’ve always dreamed of. The first step is to do your homework and get educated.

Nicole, 32, decided to finally get rid of the excess weight she put on due to thyroid condition she developed two years ago. Because of her petite frame, the excess weight was making her uncomfortable and made her feel horrible about herself.

“I dieted, exercised and nothing happened,” she says. “So I asked around for referrals for plastic surgeons in NJ. An employee recommended Dr. Parker and as soon as I went in for my consultation, I knew this was the place for me. I just had a feeling, I knew. Iliked the way Dr. Parker explained the procedure to me, his friendly manner, the comfortable feeling of the Parker Center and the helpful nature of all of the staff members there.”

“Mommy Makeover” is an umbrella term for a series of procedures to correct problems caused by pregnancy, and it has taken the cosmetic surgery field by storm. “The ravages of pregnancy can take on a variety of forms,” says New Jersey plastic surgeon , Dr. Paul M. Parker of the Parker Center in Paramus, NJ.

The consultation process is integral in determining what the right procedure would be for each individual mom. New Jersey breast enhancement, tummy tuck and liposuction are the three most common options for makeovers.

While a woman’s body is built to bear children, the abdomial area including the rectus abdomius muscles, or “abs”, as they’re frequently called are stretched to extremes. The breasts also grow to prepare for breast-feeding and body holds more fat in order to stay properly fueled. As a result, the 9 month miracle can result in flabby skin, sagging breasts and stubborn fat pockets.

Whether its an older mom who wants to feel more youthful or a young mom who wants to have her body match her age again, a mommy makeover can help them achieve their goals.

Lipoabdominoplastyis a fairly new procedure and New Jersey plastic surgeon, Dr. Paul M. Parker is one of the few surgeons in the region who perform it. It is the innovative approach and quick recovery that makes this procedure so attractive to Dr. Parker’s patients who started out seeking a traditional tummy tuck.

One patient, however, knew exactly what she was looking for when she found Dr. Parker’s Web site. Linda is a soldier in the United States Army, a mom and stationed overseas in Great Britain. When asked in an e-mail interview why she was specifically looking for a surgeon who performed lipoabdominoplasty, she replied, “Looking at other before and after pictures, there seemed to be better results [with this procedure].” The quick recovery was also an important factor in her decision process.
