Category — Plastic Surgery Financing

In an exciting and unexpected turn of events, Governor Chris Christie has signed a bill that will phase out taxes on plastic surgery in New Jersey. Breast augmentation, Botox injections, face lift procedures and other types of elective cosmetic medical treatments have been taxed in this state since 2004 based on a “cosmetic medical procedures gross receipt tax” that had to be collected by clinics and physicians.

Dr. Paul M. Parker of the Parker Center for Plastic Surgery, believes that educating his patients is one of his top priorities.  This philosophy holds true for each and every step of the cosmetic surgery process, including the financial aspect.

While cosmetic surgery can be expensive, it is something that can fit into any budget.  To increase the accessibility of plastic surgery, New Jersey surgeon Dr. Paul M. Parker accepts virtually every type of credit card and offers several different financing plans.

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.”

At 37, Diana was finished with having children and was ready to finally get the breasts she’d always wanted. Always on the small side, having her three children made them almost non-existent.

“I started out as a small B and by my third child, they were less than an A cup,” says Diana. “It looked like all I had was an areola and an awkward nipple!”

Diana always knew she wanted implants and, as it turned out, one of her good friends wanted them as well. So, they set out together to find the best plastic surgeon. New Jersey has many to choose from so they asked around and Dr. Paul M. Parker’s name came up more than once.

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.”

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.

We’re not all millionaires, but most of us have cosmetic issues we’d like to correct through plastic surgery procedures such as liposuction, face lifts and eyelid surgery. New Jersey salesman, Robert, spent years unhappy with how his eyes were aging. He noticed his eyes made him look tired, and he often fielded questions about why he wasn’t getting enough sleep. So Robert decided to look into his plastic surgery options.

He began looking into blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) to perk up his appearance. “As a salesman, my face and expressions make a difference in my success.” Robert said about his reasons for seeking surgery. “Plus, I was tired of looking older than how I felt.”

Sometimes, combining cosmetic procedures can offer great advantages. Anne initially wanted a facelift, but through consultation with New Jersey Plastic Surgeon Dr. Parker, decided a facelift alone would not meet her expectations, and a necklift combined with a facelift would offer the results she was truly seeking. Though scheduling both surgeries at separate times was an option to consider, Anne, a busy real estate agent, didn’t want the downtime separate surgeries would entail.

Seeking options for plastic surgery financing, New Jersey husband and wife team was glad to find the Parker Center on the web. Greg and Valerie decided to seek liposuction together. Married to one another for 22 years, they’d both noticed those little pockets of fat on their bodies that just would not go away.

“She [Valerie] brought up the subject first,’ said Greg. “We’d joined a gym together, years ago, but she began noticing unwanted fat on her thighs and hips, which bothered her, and started exploring plastic surgery.”

For Ellen, an elementary school teacher from New Jersey, breast reduction surgery was a real lifesaver. Breast reduction wasn’t just a cosmetic choice for Ellen, but a medical issue as well. Her breast size had caused chronic back and neck pain, and had made life truly uncomfortable for her for years. Though breast reduction is often considered reconstructive, therefore covered by some insurance policies, Ellen did not meet the qualifications under her health care plan and had to look for other ways to pay for her procedure.
