“Amazing - Del Mar, CA”

Liposculpture

"I've never spent much time on myself. I have always taken care of everyone else in my life. I decided it was time for me. Dr. M is so easy to talk to, his staff is understanding and so helpful. He spoke honestly to me about the procedures and helped me make the right choices. I am a new me now, I feel good about myself. Without the confidence I felt in Dr. M I could have never had plastic surgery and would never received such amazing results!"

Breast Augmentation

"After spending a couple weeks researching different plastic surgeons and talking to my girlfriends, I went to see Dr. M for a breast augmentation consultation. After meeting him and his staff, I knew that I had found my doctor. He was professional, comfortable to talk to and took time to listen to my desires and concerns. My breasts look amazing and I would highly recommend anyone to go to him. Dr M and his staff are first class all the way!"

“Highly Recommended - Del Mar, CA”

"I had work done a few years ago by Dr. Marin. I wanted to feel more feminine and wanted my breasts to be more proportionate to my body. Dr. Marin's work transformed my life for the better. I felt so comfortable and at ease. Plus, Dr. Marin has a great sense of humor which helps when you have such a serious event in your life. He was very thorough and answered all my questions. His work is flawless. My pain lasted in the normal amount of time. My recovery went well. Nothing unexpected. I receive compliments all the time. Even though it has been a few years he still makes himself completely available for questions and support. I had a situation where I needed medical advice, and without hesitation, he wanted me to come in so he could check it out for me. It ended up being fine, but just the fact that he made time for me was awesome. I have referred others to Dr. Marin and they all had the same positive results. If I decide to get additional cosmetic surgery, I will definitely be going to back to Dr. Marin."

“The Best Surgeon - Hands Down - Del Mar, CA”

"The first and most important characteristic I look for in a doctor is how patients are treated. I was referred to Dr. Marin by a good friend who promised I would be well taken care of at Marin Aesthetics. Once I met Dr. Marin, I knew he was the right doctor for me. He is kind, patient, gentle, polite and attentive - to name a few :) His staff is friendly, happy to see clients and eager to help. One attribute I love about the staff is their smiling faces when I arrive - what a warm welcome! It is obvious Marin Aesthetics are appreciative of their patients. Dr. Marin's work is brilliantly beautiful - he is precise, dedicated and takes the time to fully understand my desired result. Dr. Marin has far exceeded my hopes; he helped me find the right size of implants for my body, achieving an overall gorgeous result. I feel beautiful both inside and out. Referring Dr. Marin to family and friends is a no-brainer as I am certain they will be treated well and obtain fantastic results. It is a great feeling to know I have found my doctor for the rest of my life :) Give Marin Aesthetics a call - it is so worth it! Thank you Dr. Marin and your amazing Team!"

“A Perfect Score! - Del Mar, CA”

Tummy Tuck

"Never before have I ever given top ratings for any company or service I've had. I read reviews for Dr. Marin prior to having my Tummy Tuck and was skeptical as there were only positive reviews. Now I know why. Dr. Marin cares beyond his 'job'. As does his staff working with him. From the 1st phone call to the day of surgery to the post-op visits, calls & emails each and every contact was above & beyond. All questions I asked were answered and made sure that I understood. If I needed anything for any reason, at any time they were just a phone call away. Dr. Marin's talent & skill as a Doctor, a Surgeon and an artist are beyond all measure. There are no words to sufficiently express my gratitude to Dr. Marin & Staff for such a positive change in my life."

“Best Plastic Surgeon in SD! - Del Mar, CA”

"I researched breast augmentation extensively and visited multiple doctors in San Diego before choosing Dr. M. Some doctors and nurses referred to my surgery as "no big deal" or "just an easy breast aug" but to me this was a major decision and a major surgery. Other doctors also made me feel like I was on an assembly line & they wouldn't even know my name when operating on me. From my first visit with Dr. M, I received personal attention from him and his staff. He made sure to talk to me in detail about my desired results, answered all my questions & really put me at ease. I had surgery on Nov 24th so he even made sure to be available for a post-op visit on thanksgiving day! My results are amazing. He gave me the perfect size and natural look that I asked for & I've never felt more confident. Dr. M offers the expertise & customer experience everyone should receive."
