Press Release Summary:
Paramus, NJ, December 13, 2007 -- At the Parker Center for Plastic Surgery, Northern
New Jersey, plastic surgeon Dr. Paul Parker offers a groundbreaking

improvement on the standard tummy tuck.


Press Release Body: Lipoabdominoplasty is a revolutionary procedure which combines
liposuction and many of the principles of the traditional tummy tuck. It allows Dr.
Parker to contour

the torso and attain optimum aesthetic results with a more rapid recovery from
surgery. The procedure was pioneered in Brazil and is newly available to the US.

The traditional tummy tuck often fails to adequately contour the upper abdomen and
waist areas. In addition, it is often accompanied by greater bruising, swelling,

and recovery time. Using his lipoabdominoplasty procedure, Dr. Parker performs
aggressive liposuction on the upper part of the abdomen and waist, removing

unwanted fat from these areas. He then tightens the underlying loose rectus muscles,
removes the loose skin all through a shorter incision than a traditional tummy

tuck. Dr. Parker\'s lipoabdominoplasty patients are back to most normal activities
within ten days.

These procedures are performed in Dr. Parker\'s on site, fully accredited ambulatory
surgical center. At The Parker Center for Plastic Surgery, New Jersey patients will

see that Dr. Parker and his staff put a premium on a patient\'s wellbeing and safety.
Dr. Parker and his team have an exceptional safety record. This well-trained,

experienced team of board certified anesthesiologist, registered nurses and surgical
technicians work with Dr. Parker every day in the same state of the art facility.

High-risk patients are screened and discussed with their primary physician before
performing surgery. Dr. Parker operates on almost 1,000 patients a year and, in his

20 years of practice, there has not been a single fatality or serious medical
complication.

Dr. Parker has performed lipoabdominoplasty in over 50 patients in the past year,
ranging from 30-60 years of age. \"The ideal candidates for this procedure are

patients who are in relatively good physical shape, but may have excess skin and/or
fat in the abdominal area that doesn\'t respond to diet and exercise,\" said Dr.

Parker.

Lipoabdominoplasty can provide an ideal aesthetic solution after pregnancy, weight
loss, or other ravages of the aging process. It is a technique that is less painful,


less risky, and more effective in abdominal sculpting than any of the other
procedures which have preceded it.

Located in Paramus, New Jersey, the Parker Center is a 15,000 square foot facility
boasting an AAAASF and Medicare certified surgical center, state of the art

medi-spa and circuit training gym. The Parker Center for Plastic Surgery prides
itself on enhancing their patient\'s lives through individualized support and
impeccable

attention to detail. http://www.parkercenter.net/
