Money is always a factor when purchasing big ticket items, and cosmetic surgery is no exception. Patients need to understand the different between cost and price. If you go with the cheapest price, you could put yourself at risk for higher costs in the long term. Complication rates, longer recovery time, unsatisfactory results are just a few of the things that could cost you down the road. New Jersey Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Paul Parker states, “Choosing a surgeon who offers breast augmentation at a dramatically reduced cost can be a bad decision.”

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.

In New Jersey, breast surgery in all its forms is common at The Parker Center. Because of this, Dr. Parker places emphasis on the Website pages that address the different procedures. Recently, he completely revised his pages on breast reduction. New Jersey patients now have the latest procedural information at their fingertips. 

“I initially wrote the breast reduction pages in 2004,” says Dr. Parker. “But, I was primarily using the inverted T technique so my focus was on that. Now however, for the majority of my breast reductions, I use the lollipop incision because it has evolved into a technique that provides phenomenal results. I realized I needed to address this technique in more detail and add more photos to reflect its results.”

Hello,

I am a 41 year old Breast Augmentation patient of Doctor Parker.  I want to share with you my journey that brought me to Dr. Parker at the Parker Center and the end result of his work.  I am speaking to you as if we are long time girlfriends and I am helping you decide for yourself if this is right for you.

It’s natural to feel nervous or even anxious before breast enlargement surgery. New Jersey residents sometimes visit our office 2, 3 and 4 times for a consultation before deciding they are ready for the procedure.

One such patient that experienced uncertainty about breast augmentation was Diane.  She was actually referred to our office by 3 different people who had their breasts operated on by Dr. Parker and experienced phenomenal results.

She too wanted to have her breasts enlarged, but “wasn’t quite ready” when she came to see Dr. Parker in 2007.

 We’ve been told by hundreds of patients that when it comes to breast implants, New Jersey and New York residents prefer the Parker Center hands down over the area competition.

Why the confident responses?

Well for starters, when it comes to breast augmentation, New Jersey residents choose the Parker Center based on their state of the art technology and ability to walk a patient through breast enhancement before actually going under the knife.

Specifically, this includes a personal photo session to help the patient get an accurate idea of what her breasts would look like following augmentation surgery.  Based on the digital images, a woman can then decide if she wants to go bigger or smaller than originally planned.

Ever since high school I wanted bigger breasts and knew I would someday have breast augmentation. But “someday” seemed never to arrive. Other priorities kept coming up. Friends and family wanted me to wait. “Finish school.” “Save your money.” “Wait ‘til you have children.” Finally I was done with excuses. I’m 26 now and my husband encouraged me to do what I needed to so I could feel comfortable in my own skin.

As a professional figure competitor, personal trainer and group fitness instructor, I have a heightened awareness of my body. My breasts were always small and not very symmetrical, so breast augmentation seemed the right thing to do if I wanted a better size and shape. I did a lot of online research and talked with friends. The first doctor I saw fell short of my expectations. But from the moment I walked into The Parker Center, I knew it was the right choice. My experience with everyone on the staff before, during and after my procedure exceeded my expectations. As someone who has never had any elective surgery before, I was pretty nervous, but I was immediately made to feel comfortable. My appointment happened to be late—around 6pm—so I figured everyone would be anxious to get home. The exact opposite happened. Dr. Parker acted like I was his only patient. He didn’t rush me, or rattle off a bunch of medical jargon. He answered all my questions and put me at ease. Liz did a great job during the sizing session. It was very important that I look proportionate yet natural in my figure costume. The pictures she took really helped me make up my mind on increasing my A cup to a B. I even came back a second time and Liz was patient and accommodating. Before my surgery Kathleen did my pre-op review. I left feeling very prepared. Charlene really calmed my nerves the day of surgery. She spent lots of time with my fiancé so he would know how to care for me. I remember hearing her call him after surgery just to give him an update on my condition.

For Sarah in New Jersey, breast augmentation is a procedure she has dreamed of for years.  After the birth of her second child, she and her husband decided their family was complete and would have no more children.  Now it was time for to invest in herself.

Sarah’s problem is not a lack of income … Sarah and her husband have been saving for the surgery, but she is ready now for her breast augmentation.  She does not want to wait to save up for the entire surgery cost.

“I wasted three years waiting because of what one doctor said. I should have explored more.

Before having my children I was an A cup size, and although I went to a B after my kids were born, the shape of my breasts changed. They were flat on top, round on the bottom, and slack. One of my friends with a similar figure had a breast augmentation and looked great. The doctor I consulted with told me I needed a breast lift which surprised me because I didn’t think the amount of droop I had warranted all of that reconstruction. I went home really discouraged and decided to forget about it. But that is easier said than done. I am working toward receiving my credentials as a personal trainer, so I am very in tune with my body. Honestly, my breasts were never the source of my confidence one way or the other, but it bothered me that improving them was no longer a possibility.
