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.”

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, rhinoplasty was the second most popular cosmetic procedure performed in 2008. Popular with both women and men, it also spans every age group. At the Parker Center,New Jersey rhinoplasty patients follow this national trend ranging in age from the teens to late 50s.

Dr. Parker initiates each consultation with New Jersey rhinoplasty patients by asking them to look in the mirror and verbalize what they don’t like about their nose. He will then perform a physical examination of the nose and facial features, making measurements in an effort to optimize facial harmony. Dr. Parker will then explain to the patient what can be done to improve the appearance of the nose and other facial features.

Two of our recent New Jersey Rhinoplasty patients were so thrilled with their results that they have graciously agreed to share their stories with the rest of our New Jersey cosmetic surgery blog readers. Their New Jersey nose job testimonies are detailed below:

Nicole

Nicole says that she wanted a New Jersey nose job since she was 10 because the bump at the top of her nose made her very self conscious about her appearance. However, she was nervous to actually go through with the procedure because she wanted her nose to appear as natural as possible—just without the bump.

Is a natural-looking eyelid procedure possible?  

Yes, according to our expert and renowned New Jersey Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Paul M. Parker.  Crediting ‘natural’ results to state of the art techniques and surgical judgment, Dr. Parker reveals in the following article what every potential eyelid surgery patient must know to avoid a case of plastic surgery gone-bad.

New Jersey eyelid surgery (or Blepharoplasty) is an extremely popular cosmetic procedure to firm up and smooth out lines, wrinkles and folds in the eyelid area.

Men and women alike have been known to embrace the procedure, as wrinkled or puffy eyelids can cause a person to look unnecessarily old, tired, sad or angry.  Yet the real challenge for any prospective eyelid surgery patient is finding a doctor that will help them look ‘natural,’ as opposed to ‘operated on’.

Our professional imager, Liz Kobb, made a very interesting statement this week that really hit home regarding the importance of digital imaging for our New Jersey cosmetic surgery patients.

I was actually chatting with Liz about how nerve wracking it must be for patients at other cosmetic surgery practices that have to cut out pictures, bring them in and hope that the doctor’s plan for their face or body matched the post-op image they had in their head.

To me—that is a terrifying thought.  Especially when it comes to my face!

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.

Dr. Parker Offers Computer Imaging with Each Consultation

The field of cosmetic plastic surgery has evolved significantly in recent years. Patients presenting for procedures have an increasingly wide array of options available to them. New Jersey plastic surgeon, Dr. Paul M. Parker believes Computer Imaging is an important visual tool which allows each of his patients to gain a realistic understanding of these possibilities.

Even cutting-edge computer imaging cannot offer a true picture of what you’ll look like after surgery. Breast augmentation patients need to be confident in their decision. “We know from the data that a major causes of dissatisfaction, and even re-operation, in breast augmentation patients is the choice of size,” says New Jersey breast augmentation specialist Dr. Parker.
