Philip C. Marin, MD

6 births and breastfed children left my boobs looking like deflated balloons eww when I put my arms up they disappeared or put clothes on and bye bye anyway I found the perfect Dr for me kind very informative I never had a question cuz he literally told me everything witch works for me the whole staff is kind and professional he saw me for six months following the procedure and I always felt better leaving then the time before I can’t say enough great things about this Dr and his whole staff would highly recommend

He is very professional, the process took about 20 minutes. After each of the injection he massaged it and asked if that is what I want or do I want more. I have gone to him before for a breast reduction & carpal tunnel. I wouldn't go to anyone else.

I loved my dr philip marin. In pueblo co he was amazing great nurses great bedside manner!!! So awesome the procedure was almost painless. I pive my results and will definitely refer all my friends it was an amazing outcome and it helped my self esteem. He took the time to explain the procedure. The juvederm has a numbing agent (lidocaine) so it didnt hurt much at all. I sat in the chairan d after each injection he would massage it and show me the result and ask what else i wanted to plump up. The was very gentle and was very interactive with my family that went with me making sure everything was even and symmetrical. I am definatly going to be doing more procedures with him!!! Our town is small so to find such a great plastic surgeon right in town is near impossible!!!

This was my second go-round with breast cancer. After my first diagnosis in 2002, I had a lumpectomy and radiation. It left a hideous scar, but I survived. I was diagnosed in 2010 with 2 different cancers in the other breast. I opted for a double mastectomy and reconstruction.

Dr. Merrin and his staff were professional and treated me with dignity. I'm not quite finished yet. I have my permanent implants and still need to get my nipples recreated, but so far, the results are fabulous. One of my implants was inserted through the old scar, and the hideous indentation is gone.

I'm not finished healing yet, but it looks better than it did after I healed from the firt bout with cancer. Not too much pain, and a farly easy recovery. I can't wait so see the final result. I highly recommend Dr. Merrin and his staff if you live in Southern Colorado.

Haven't had my surgery yet , but will add to this review after I do. I wanted to say that so far through my consultation Dr.Marin and his staff were extremely friendly, polite and professional. I vetted 3 different plastic surgeons and Dr.Marin blew the rest out if the water. He was straight to the point, let me try on several different sizes, never spoke down to me and made me feel completely at ease about my upcoming operation. His nurse Joanne is also so sweet!

Hello,
I am 5'4" 125lbs. And yes I am 50. I know the thought of doing this at this age is probably crazy. That's my biggest fear is being judged by people I know. But I am a 34b and have always been shy about my size. Never felt comfortable in swim suits either. I have 2 kids. My youngest is my 17 yrs old daughter and she is my biggest supporter. She thinks I should go for it and not worry about what other people say. So I had my pre -op appt yesterday. The nerves have picked in for sure. Only 4 days til my surgery! I still can't believe I'm doing this.

So it's the day before my surgery and boy have I got butterflies. I'm hoping I made the right decision in what size I'm going with. Decided to go with hp silicone cohesive gel (415 -450) under the the muscle . my doctor had been so helpful and he will,see which,looks,best on me. Also, a bit asymmetric so my right side will have to go bigger to even out. Been doing nothing but cleaning and catching up laundry so I don't have to stress about that. Here are,couple of pics of,me now. I'll share tomorrow if I feel up to it. Surgery is at 8:30 a.m. Have to be there at 7:30.

Hello ,
So today is one day after surgery. Woke up really sore! Had my post op appointment with my doctor and he said everything looks good. He told me I can start massaging my pecks only. Have to wait on the rest of my breasts. As you know had 450cc on my right and 485cc on my left. Under the muscle. Decreased my pain meds and just taking Tylenol. Here are a couple pics. My doctor loosened my support bra and it feel way better.

It's been 3 days and from what I have been following from others on here day 2 are the worst and day 3 feels a little better. As far as what I'm feeling.. Lots of pain day after. Today still lots of pressure but a little,better today. Stopped taking pain meds cuz I don't like the way they make me feel so I converted to ibuprofin twice daily. My left breast hurts more with sharp pains on side of my boob and nipple is tender. Finally got to take a shower last night. Felt really good! Here are pics of where I'm at now. Is it just me or do,they look liked they've dropped a little? Hope to hear from fellow members to,hear your progress!!

Hello my beautiful friends!
I'm sorry I haven't posted lately. Just been going through A lot of ups and downs. I've heard of boobie blues and they are real.
Emotions from all the aches and pains and emotional roller coaster. I'm keep,asking myself why did I do this? Maybe I shouldn't have. Then, I have to remind myself it's gonna be ok.
They feel so hard, I feel engorged and I hope they look natural. I know this all wi go away in time. And I feel so bloated it's been a week and my tummy still looks bloated. I'm not in pain just uncomfortable with the tightness,the engorged feeling and the chills I keep feeling on and off.
Went to doc and he said everything is progressing as they should. They are starting to drop and just showed me how to massage my pectorals only. He removed my stitches today. I do have bruising but he said nothing to worry about.
Sorry ladies for the venting. I know I will be happy as time goes on. Love all of you and your posts. I will post pics tomorrow! Goodnight my beauties!!
