Everyday for the past five years, Meghan, 23 was in pain on her left side and had trouble raising her left arm completely. Meghan suffered from capsular contraction from breast augmentation surgery she had five years previously. This is a hardening of the lining around the implant. It can be painful and can create an asymmetrical look to your breasts.

Meghan never told anyone, even her parents about her pain. She finally decided to do something about it with encouragement from her boyfriend. He wanted her to at least consult with a few surgeons to learn about what options were available for breast implant revision in New Jersey.

Abby is a 40-something professional woman with a family who never left her house without lipstick.  She had thought about doing something to augment her lips like injections but never really liked the way it looked.

“My upper lip was so thin, without lipstick, it was invisible.  But I never liked the puffed-up look that injections give people.  It almost looks too plump, like you have a fat lip,” explained Abby.

“The time that was allotted to me felt like it was devoted to me. At no time did anyone make me feel rushed. I felt that I could ask any question and express any idea and it would be completely respected. Everyone listened to me 100%.” – Marla S.

Kristen, 47, is a busy housewife with three teenage children.  For almost ten years Kristen had looked at before and after photos and wanted to have a breast augmentation. New Jersey resident Kristen is an avid exerciser who felt her barely an A cup breasts looked dreadful.

“I was almost concave, a negative “A” cup.  Most men have larger breasts than I did.  I wouldn’t wear tight fitting workout clothes because they made me look like a man,” said Kristen.

Tonya is a 33-year old teaching professional who, when she’s not working, is busy chasing a two year old toddler.  After nursing her baby left her full “A” cup breasts deflated, uneven and barely able to fill a bra, she decided to have a breast augmentation.

New Jersey educator and researcher by profession, she took the same approach she would for her work when she was considering plastic surgery.  She researched the procedure, checked out the websites of several physicians and made appointments with five plastic surgeons in NJ and the local area for consultations.

John, a 20-year old college student, suffered for years worrying about his larger than normal breasts.  John had a medical condition known as gynecomastia, or enlargement of the male breasts.  This is a relatively common condition that can affect younger and older men.  It also can affect just one breast or both.

“You’re really self-conscious.  You don’t want to go anywhere where you’ll have to take off your shirt, like a friend’s pool or the beach,” says John.

Michael, a 28-year old single man and self-confessed gym rat, had lost over 60 lbs. several years ago.  Unfortunately this didn’t help the little pouch of fat and stretch marks around his abdomen, even though he works out five days a week.  Michael had considered having a tummy tuck for the last few years and even sought out consultations last year with several surgeons.

A combination of being between jobs that left him with a month of free time, a lot of research done on the internet and a determination to finally have the surgery led Michael to New Jersey plastic surgeon, Dr Paul Parker.

Cole is a 43 year old professional who’s married with 3 kids.  In 1988, Cole lost over 100 lbs. through diet and exercise but still had what’s commonly known as “man boobs”.  Cole suffered from a very common condition called gynecomastia or enlarged male breasts.

“I felt this was self-inflicted.  Something I had done to myself from all the weight I gained.  I thought if I just worked out harder or differently I could get rid of it.  It took me a long time to realize that I couldn’t.  I finally realized that surgery might be the only way,” said Cole.

For several years Lucy, had considered having a New Jersey tummy tuck.  A visit to her internist revealed she had an umbilical hernia that required correction.  Facing abdominal surgery anyway, she decided that this was the right time to do what she always wanted to do.

Lucy who is 63 in good physical shape and very active always hated the extra belly fat she’s been carrying around. “I walk everyday.  I’m very active, but I did have this belly from menopause or whatever and I wanted it gone,” said Lucy.

Lisa, 52, is a busy working mother of four who- like many women- never took time for herself.  With her youngest in high school, Lisa decided to go back to work.  Being on her feet all day and walking in her job, Lisa started to drop weight.  As the pounds dropped, and she was dropping clothing sizes, Lisa started thinking about plastic surgery.

“I’ve had four children all by cesarean sections. From all the pregnancies and surgeries, I had still had a pooch for a belly and my breasts were sagging and I really wanted to have something done,” said Lisa.
