Category — Tummy Tuck

As office manager for Dr. Paul Parker’s Paramus plastic surgery practice, I’ve enjoyed a front row seat when it comes to seeing people make positive changes in their appearance.

Although Dr. Parker performs a full range of procedures of the face, breast and body, I felt a special affinity for tummy tuck patients. I related to their stories. After two pregnancies, I was hyper-aware of my own extra skin and forever holding in my stomach. I also identified with their anxiety about anesthesia, recovery, the scar and most of all the guilt of doing something for myself.
