Breast augmentation is the most popular cosmetic surgical procedure performed each year across the country and by Dr. Parker, as well. Because it is so popular, as a New Jersey plastic surgeon, Dr. Parker thinks it is essential that his patients and others understand what complications can occur. When he realized that a discussion of the possible need for revision after breast augmentation was missing from his Website, he quickly remedied the situation and created pages that comprehensively addressed the various issues.

“We were showing before and after pictures of patients undergoing breast implant revision, but we did not have a page that clearly discussed the various issues and options concerning the surgical procedure of breast implant revision,” he says. “So, I added pages that addressed the problems that might occur after breast augmentation and solutions to them.”

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’.

Deciding to have plastic surgery was the easy part. I’ve wanted to have surgery for a very long time but family responsibilities, finances and time away from my job as a property manager were all obstacles I had to resolve. My figure has always been what you would call a “pear shape.” It seemed I was forever altering my pants to fit my thighs and hips. The only skirts I could wear were loose and long. Belts were out of the question. Also, as a little girl my eye was droopy due to a weak muscle. When I hit my 40’s my lids were sagging to the point where I couldn’t wear contacts. What was the catalyst that finally made me pull the trigger? 5 years ago I took up ballroom dancing lessons and liked it so much that I now perform competitively. If you’ve ever seen ‘Dancing with the Stars’ you know that the costumes can be quite unforgiving. Now was the perfect time for some positive changes. My goal was to correct my eyelids and change the contour of my thighs.
