At the Parker Center, it is all about YOU

Every woman deserves to feel beautiful in her own skin. If something about your breasts is keeping you from feeling your most comfortable and confident, Dr. Parker and our experienced team can help. Breast augmentation is one of our most popular procedures, and we are honored to have patients come from New Jersey and far beyond to have their procedures with Dr. Parker. We invite you to learn more about breast augmentation surgery at the Parker Center:

What are the benefits of breast augmentation?

The immediate goal of surgery is to enlarge the breasts and improve their shape. For patients with significant asymmetry, breast augmentation can also help correct uneven breasts. While achieving these goals, patients experience an improved body image, boost in self-esteem, and the freedom to wear clothes they had avoided in the past. Here at the Parker Center, we have noted a patient satisfaction rate after surgery of well over 95%.

But breast augmentation isn’t just for women hoping for a dramatic size increase. In recent years, we’ve seen a number of patients looking for a modest increase (sometimes even just one cup size!) with a greater focus on improved shape and overall appearance. The range of available breast implants has made it easier than ever to customize a look for you, whether you’re hoping to see a dramatic size increase or simply want to look a little more shapely in your clothing.

Who is a good candidate for breast augmentation?

It’s surprising to some patients just how versatile a procedure breast augmentation is. While breast augmentation can indeed help women with smaller but “normal” appearing breasts enjoy a boost in size, it’s also a great option for treating a number of common breast concerns, including.

• Deflated breasts after weight loss or breastfeeding. Bringing a child in the world is a magical experience (and losing weight is something to be celebrated!), though these big life events can take a toll on your body. It’s common for women who have gone through pregnancy breast size changes and breastfeeding to experience breast deflation, where the upper pole of the breast is noticeably lacking fullness. This same appearance can occur after significant weight loss. This can be corrected through breast augmentation alone or, in cases where breast ptosis (sagging) is also a concern, in conjunction with a breast lift.
• Breast asymmetry. While it is completely natural and normal for one breast to be slightly differently shaped or sized, some women have naturally severely asymmetrical breasts that can make it difficult to find properly fitting bras or clothing or feel comfortable and confident. After a careful examination, Dr. Parker is able to correct breast asymmetry with breast augmentation by choosing custom implants for each breast to create a uniform, symmetrical result.

• Mild to moderate breast sagging. Did you know that a breast lift may not always be needed to correct mild cases of breast ptosis? Using a special, dual plane breast augmentation technique, Dr. Parker can create a breast pocket and place breast implants in such a way that they improve breast shape and size as well as correct mild instances of sagging without surgically lifting the breast tissue.

Can breast augmentation treat tuberous breasts?

Tuberous breast deformity (parenchymal maldistribution) results from a congenital abnormality that prevents breasts from developing fully and normally. While the root cause of the condition is still unclear, the resulting constricted appearance can be a point of discomfort and self-consciousness for many patients.

The severity of tuberous breasts can range widely from mild cases of underdevelopment to extreme constriction with herniated areolas, asymmetry, and acute underdevelopment. Common aesthetic markers of tuberous breasts include:

• High inframammary fold under the breast
• Very narrow breast base
• Large or “puffy” areolas
• Tubular breast shape
• Deflated breast appearance

Often referred to colloquially as “snoopy breasts” for their elongated appearance, tuberous breasts can be difficult to treat without specialized techniques. To correct tuberous breasts, Dr. Parker can use a variety of surgical techniques to reshape and fill out the breasts. This may include tissue expansion, where the fibrous material constricting the breasts is released to aid in expansion. In some cases, this may allow the breasts to naturally expand and fill out on their own.

In other cases, the use of breast lifting techniques can re-anchor the breast to the correct position, remove excess drooping skin, and improve breast shape. Often, however, women suffering with this condition do not have enough natural breast tissue for a breast lift to create an optimal result.

Most often, Dr. Parker uses a combination of fibrous tissue release with the placement of breast implants to reduce the conical appearance of tuberous breasts. The diversity of breast implant shapes, sizes, and materials available today enables him to customize your surgical plan to correct tuberous breasts and provide you with beautiful, shapely results.

How much do breast implants cost in New Jersey?

At the Parker Center, breast augmentation prices start at $8,250. At your consultation, we will provide a personalized, all-inclusive price quote including surgeon’s fees, anesthesia and operating room costs, your breast implants (silicone implants cost a little more than saline), and our signature Rapid Recovery program. We can also go over financing options and any specials we are offering.

Where are the incisions for breast augmentation?

Breast implants are inserted through small incisions which usually become inconspicuous after they heal. Incisions can be placed through an incision under the breast, around the lower half of the areola, or through the armpit.

To learn which option is best for you, we’ll consider a number of factors:

• The placement you feel you’ll be least likely to notice
• Which incision will best allow Dr. Parker to achieve your goals
• If you plan to breastfeed, which incision is least likely to hamper breastfeeding

Are breast implants placed over or under the muscle?

While it’s easy to get the impression that breast implant placement is choice between “over the muscle” or “under the muscle,” there’s a little more to it than that. The fact is that implant placement is personalized to your needs.

Dr. Parker typically uses a partial submuscular, dual plane breast augmentation technique, which allows him to place the implant more precisely for a beautiful, natural breast shape.

What is involved in breast augmentation surgery?

In well-trained, experienced hands, breast augmentation is a straightforward outpatient procedure with a high safety profile. At the Parker Center, your breast augmentation surgery will take place in the comfort and privacy of our fully certified onsite ambulatory surgical center (see Patient Safety). You will be asleep during the procedure, with general anesthesia administered by one of our board certified anesthesiologists.

The procedure takes approximately 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of your procedure (i.e., is there significant asymmetry to address, are you also getting a breast lift, etc.). After spending a brief period in our recovery room after surgery, you will be able to go home.
