George is a twenty year old college student who recently consulted New Jersey plastic surgeon, Dr. Parker, of the Parker Center about a bump on his nose.  George had broken his nose as a young teen playing soccer and the injury left him with a noticeable bump.

Closed rhinoplasty uses incisions that are hidden on the inside of the nostrils and corrects relatively minor shape problems like George’s bump.  Dr. Parker felt this procedure would be quick and simple way of correcting the problem.

New Jersey plastic surgeon, Dr. Parker provides patients with our extensive online resource to help educate them about rhinoplasty and the results they could attain through this plastic surgery option. Our site utilizes both pictures and text to paint a clear picture of the potential outcomes of the surgery.

When asked about our site, Dr. Parker said, “My goal any time I perform a procedure is to ensure that my patient thoroughly understands the risks, outcomes, and benefits of the surgery. I am always thrilled when a patient comes to me with a list of questions found during his or her initial research. This shows that they know what they want to attain. I want the page to begin to answer these questions and alleviate doubts about the procedure.”

Recently, New Jersey plastic surgeon, Dr. Parker created a new page on our site outlining key areas of difference between male and female rhinoplasty. New Jersey patient complaints are usually similar between the sexes, but resolving the issues through surgery is handled very differently.

“The goal of male rhinoplasty surgery is to achieve an improved, but natural masculine contour, while correcting any internal deformities that may be causing breathing difficulties,” stated Dr. Parker. The new male rhinoplasty page on our site not only details the differences between male and female nasal structure but also details the types of surgery performed to correct specific problems.

Leanne, 28, had been to three other plastic surgeons before her New Jersey breast augmentation and rhinoplasty consultation with Dr. Parker at The Parker Center for Plastic Surgery. She wishes he had been the first surgeon she visited, but he was definitely the last consultation she needed.

“From the moment I walked in….no, from the first phone call, they were all about you,” she says. “When I called to schedule a consultation, Michelle gave me 30-45 minutes of her time asking me questions and going over what to expect. That was before I ever step foot in the office!”

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.”

28 year-old model, Mesha Seville, wanted to make some minor improvements to her nose by narrowing the tip and nostrils just a bit.

“I liked my nose, it just needed a few tweaks,” she says. “I wanted a little softer look to my face.”

So, she scheduled an appointment at The Parker Center for Plastic Surgery in New Jersey. Rhinoplasty wasn’t the first surgery New Jersey plastic surgeon, Dr. Paul M. Parker, performed on her. Last year Mesha had liposuction of the waist and back. She was referred to him by a friend who worked for a doctor that refers a lot of patients to Dr. Parker.

In light of recent media coverage of teens and plastic surgery, including a Today Show segment on March 30th, New Jersey plastic surgeon, Dr. Paul M. Parker, saw a great opportunity to address the right way to approach cosmetic surgery for teens and young adults and the benefits.

There is a fine line between what is and is not appropriate for teens and young adults. For example, a 16 year old girl, who is not completely developed physically or psychologically, wants to enlarge her otherwise normal breasts from a B to C cup. In this example, we would encourage the patient and her parents to wait until her physical development is complete.

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.

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.
