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.”

The Parker Center and Dr. Paul M. Parker have been featured in a press release discussing the value of informational web sites.  This release encourages potential patients to use plastic surgery websites such as www.parkercenter.net to educate and inform themselves before making any decisions on a plastic surgery procedures.  

The Parker Center notes in the release that they make it a priority to keep their site up-to-date on the latest information for procedures and techniques to help educate patients around the country including New Jersey.  Plastic surgery is a big decision and Parker Center is there to guide potential patients. 

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

Dr. Paul M. Parker understands there are different causes of sagging breasts. He helps his New Jersey breast lift patients reclaim youth with a limited incision breast lift. He recommends a unique surgery for 4 different types of breast lift patients. 

During an initial consultation with a patient seeking a breast lift in New Jersey, Dr. Parker will have the patient stand in front of a mirror and tell him exactly what she dislikes about her breasts. He then evaluates the amount of existing breast tissue, the degree of sagging as well as the location of the nipple to determine proper treatment.

At The Parker Center, patients seeking New Jersey breast augmentation typically are a young woman who never had volume in her breasts or the post-partum mom who has lost volume and has some sagging. Very small breasts or sagging breasts inhibit a woman from wearing the kind of clothes she wants and causes her to avoid certain social situations like

 wearing a bathing suit. When they come to Dr. Parker about implants, they undergo an extensive evaluation, a sizing session and very thorough pre-operative education about breast implant surgery.  

Ask Stephanie about her new breast implants and the first thing she says is, “I can’t believe I didn’t do this sooner. I love my implants!” At 37, Stephanie is an active athletic woman who was so small, she said she wasn’t even an A cup. Safety, money and concern that it would hinder her activities prevented her from doing it until now.

When Stephanie started actively searching for the right New Jersey plastic  surgeon, she had consultations with two in the area. Not satisfied with these surgeons, she took the advice of friends who had had procedures with Dr. Paul M. Parker at The Parker Center. “Well,” as Stephanie put it, “I really did save the best for last. Immediately when I met him, I knew,” she says.

At 25, Angela is a well-adjusted and confident woman. Ask her what she would change about herself and she would quickly say, “My nose and eyes.” Family genes often run deep in families and Angela’s is no different. “My dad has the same nose,” she says. “On a girl though, it was out of place with the rest of my features.”

Though her eyes are less about genetics, as she got older, the puffy bags became more prominent and actually began to bother her more than the nose she’d had all of her life. At only 25, “I looked tired all the time and a lot older than my 25 years,” says Angela. “I tried creams. I tried lotions. I even had massages and nothing worked. I knew surgery was my only option.”

While most people think the aging process is solely related to genetics, an interesting study conducted by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) now shows that environmental factors such as stress and weight fluctuations also leave their mark on the face.

We felt it was important to share this study with our Bergen County plastic surgery patients, as it shows people must take active and proactive steps to keep their face looking as young as possible.

This study specifically followed groups of twins that happen to share the same DNA, yet were exposed to different stressors such as divorce, antidepressant use and weight fluctuations.

I was born in the Middle East, but have been in the United States for over 22 years. I am fortunate not only because I can make a living at what I love, but that I have been blessed by being surrounded by very hard working, honest professionals. I consider myself a student of the skin. It’s an arena where you have to work to stay on top of all the information, so I stay current by taking courses in New York and reading all the latest journals. Last week I got some advance information on an FDA approved product. This keeps the Beaura Spa at The Parker Center in New Jersey at the cutting edge of a very fast, competitive industry.  As new information becomes available I incorporate it into my client’s regimen. My opinion is if you don’t want to be studying and learning, you can be happy as a facialist working in an average salon with mediocre products. That was never my goal.

“If you want to be pampered, you can go to a salon for a fluff, steam and cream. But if you are truly serious about taking corrective action for your skin concerns, nothing takes the place of medically based skin care. You wouldn’t eat macaroni and cheese while training for a marathon.  If long term results are important to you, base your product and procedure decisions on nutritional skincare and real science.”
