No two noses are the same, which means no two nose jobs are exactly the same. To illustrate this, we’ve improved our rhinoplasty page to include descriptions of all the different deformities that can be corrected by a New Jersey rhinoplasty at the Parker Center.

Some people want to fix their crooked nose, some want to slim the width, fix symmetry, remove bumps, shorten the length, or even fixed a botched nose job. New Jersey patients can now compare these issues to their own while looking at before and after pictures for reference.

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.”

It looks like our site is making the rounds and getting noticed! This time we got a shout-out from Dr. Jeffrey Donaldson on their blog about patient education in plastic surgery practices. Like us, they believe that the more a potential patient knows about their cosmetic surgery procedure, the better informed they will be which will lead to a more positive experience and results!

Here is a preview:

We use many of the same tools that Dr. Parker uses on his New Jersey plastic surgery Website for The Parker Center. This include video and written testimonials, procedural information and staff background and credentials. All of these tools are instrumental in not only educating potential patients, but also in choosing the right facility and surgeon.

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.

Be sure to check out this blog written by Premier Plastic Surgery about our site leading the way in patient education! As they say, the test factor in making a plastic surgery operation a success is the expectations of the patient. We work hard to make our site as informative as possible, and it looks like others are noticing as well!

As a New Jersey plastic surgeon, Dr. Parker, places a lot of emphasis on patient education and with our fee estimate page, you can enhance your knowledge even further. You’d be hard-pressed to find other plastic surgery websites that have their full list of estimates posted right there for all to see. We do this because the education factor that comes along with it is improved tremendously. “We’re doing this because we’ve heard fromour patients what a wonderful educational source our website has been to them” says Dr. Parker. “They are learning about the different procedures, understanding how we pamper our patients, looking at before and after pictures and reading testimonials from other patients.Adding a fee estimate page enhances their knowledge even more.”

New Jersey breast reduction for men is one of the top 5 cosmetic procedures performed for men at the Parker Center. The condition of enlarged breasts in men is called gynecomastia. Because of the feminine appearance of the breasts, this is a very embarrassing and socially debilitating condition particularly because it presents itself as a young boy grows into a teen. While many pursue correction of the problem in their teens and early twenties, Dr. Paul M. Parker, Medical Director of the Parker Center for Plastic Surgery has treated men of all ages, including those into their 60’s with gynecomastia.

Democratic leaders in the Senate unveiled their proposal for overhauling the health care system, which includes a new 5% tax on elective cosmetic procedures. Senate Democrats argue that the tax, which was a surprise addition to the sweeping 2,074-page bill, will generate $5.8 billion over the next 10 years to be put towards the bill’s estimated $849 billion price tag. However, this tax as discriminatory, arbitrary and ineffective.

We are pleased to announce that our very own Dr. Paul Parker, a New Jersey board certified cosmetic surgeon and member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) was called upon to release his statistics to help determine the top cosmetic surgery procedures of 2008.

According to the results of the study, breast augmentation, liposuction and eyelid surgery ranked among the top 3 plastic surgery procedures performed last year, with over 10 million surgical and nonsurgical procedures preformed across the country for 2008.

At the Parker Center for Plastic Surgery, New Jersey, Dr. Paul M. Parker will reset expectations about down time after cosmetic surgery. Rapid recovery techniques focus on the whole you — getting patients back to work, school or play in less time than one might expect — and looking better than could be dreamed.
