I was a natural 32DD but after 4 pregnancies & 30 months of nursing my breasts were nothing but sagging empty sacks of thin skin. My confidence was gone & I was uncomfortable with my own husband looking at me naked. I opted to do something about it. I researched every option & spoke with at least 10 different doctors. Because of Dr. Marin I have my breasts & confidence back.
Together we decided to go with the textured Sientra implants to reduce the risk of rippling (due to my thin skin) & displacement (one of my fears with implants). Four months post-op I have no rippling. My breasts are still pretty firm but they are continually softening.
We opted to go with the donut lift to restore a perky position & with minimal scarring. This was the perfect option. My scars are very faint & barely noticeable. Dr. Marin also reduced my areolas to look more youthful & proportionate.
We went with 350cc & 375cc (different sizes because as Dr. Marin noticed one rib cage protrudes slightly more than the other) implants. I was worried about the implants being too large but I went with Dr. Marin & my husbands suggestions & I am very glad I did. They fit my frame perfectly.
As for recovery, I followed the doctor's orders & waited the full 6 weeks before lifting my kids or exercising. But I was back on my feet & getting out & about by day 3. I had limited mobility & use of my arms (as to be expected from such a surgery) for a few weeks. But all in all, it really wasn't bad & I would do it again.
I love my new figure. It amazes me how little I think about my body now that I have a body I am confident & happy with.

After researching & consulting many doctors in three different states I opted to go with Dr. Marin because he was the only doctor that not only offered his professional opinions but truly considered my personal concerns & expectations. When I first spoke to him & explained what my wants & concerns he didn't rush to give me an answer. He asked more questions & took his time to consider all the options before helping me come up with the best plan for me specifically. He knows what he's doing & he truly cares about his patients. I felt comfortable in his care & confident in his abilities. His staff is incredible. They all made me feel so comfortable & cared for. There were so many times I emailed with questions & every time I received a quick & thorough response, even after hours.
