Terrence Murphy, MD

This man and his staff LITERALLY saved/changed my life for the better. This will be short because I want the past behind me and am tired of posting about it (on my socials) but I had FIVE surgeries to try to correct a severe congenital deformity (4 cup sizes different and way different shapes) from 4 doctors all over the U.S. Needless to say, I was still very disappointed with my chest as they never actually ended up looking even slightly even or the same. I had implants, had them out, reductions, lifts, you name it. I had been thinking about top surgery for TEN years because of this and also because of gender stuff. Dr. Murphy and his staff are extremely compassionate, attentive and caring. He did an EXCELLENT job with the physical aspect of my surgery and out of the FIVE doctors I've seen in 24 years, he has the BEST bedside manner of them all (maybe because he's Canadian?) ;)

I want to thank everyone here... so much for helping me change my body to be even so I'm not preoccupied thinking about it all day and night. I AM SO GRATEFUL I FOUND HIM!

I’m 64 and have been considering doing the face lift for about 5 years. I finally did it.
Of course it’s early early on and I’m swollen and black and blue but I can tell Already I’m going to be very happy with this!
Dr Murphy went above and beyond. Took the lift way higher than he had planned (around the ears and up as high as my eyes in the hairline!)
The pain has been minimal to me. Uncomfortable yes, painful not too. Sleeping is uncomfortable propped up and on my back. I bought a memory foam wedge pillow to help with that. I have only been taking half doses of my pain meds when needed. The second day was the worst. It was nice to have a shower after 48 hours And wash the crust out of my hair. I’m gonna dump a bunch of pics. Some are gross. But it doesn’t feel half as bad as it looks! I’ll update in time!

144 hours. Surgery last Wednesday. Day 6.
Wow…even with the swelling and bruising I’m through the roof happy with the results so far.
The pain is minimal now, except if I try to sleep on my side. The ears are definitely sore still. The staples don’t hurt. Sleeping is easy even though I’m propped up and in my back.
Still wearing face compression bandage to minimize swelling.
The sides of my face are very numb but that’s to be expected, the nerves heal over a period of months. I feel great! ???? (maybe a little tired lol)

Here’s some before pics. This is why I decided to finally do the facelift. My husband and I have been married for 30 years but he’s 15 years younger than me. It’s made me self conscious for a while now. I got my consult with Dr. Murphy last March and finally pulled the trigger.

Out and about running errands 9 days post surgery. Doing fine with teylenol and Advil. Can’t wait until I Un-bruise. Lol.
I feel like I should still be in hiding but oh well
! I have one spot where it opened up when they took a staple out that I’m treating with bacitracin and my right earlobe is mad and swollen but not infected. Been peroxiding that and bacitracin too.

11 days post op. Bruising fading, incisions healing and crusty. Still need afternoon naps.
Pain is minimal and only what I would describe as annoying.
My face feels bruised and lumpy in places but I know that will heal.

Still black and blue and swollen, scabbing is coming off. I failed to mention that I live at 7800’ altitude so I feel like my healing is slower than it should be. But I’m
It sure.
I’m gaining energy daily and put on makeup even. I’ve only been in two places. One to pick up lunch and the post office. I got weird looks from a few people. It totally looks like I got beat up.

I literally hate the gym and I want to look good again after 7 years of post pregnancy weight I am ready to move forward with my mmo pros I will have a flat stomach and bigger boobs which I've always wanted. Cons I'm it a big fan of having a scar hip to hip but as long as underwear and bikini bottoms cover I will be ok with that

Amazing! This guy is a perfectionist. I couldn't be happier. I had botched liposuction several years ago, and it looked like I had a bite taken out of my leg. Dr. Murphy was able to fix this with fat grafting from my stomach--which also looks good. He is incredibly detail-oriented and an all around nice person.

Dr Murphy is by far the best plastic surgeon in Denver and the surrounding area. I am more than thrilled with my breast reduction. The whole process was smooth, all of my questions were answered, my concerns mitigated and everything just fell into place.

I could not be more please with the overall procedure. The results were just as I wanted and I am very content in my choice of procedure and dr.

Thank you Dr. Murphy and your whole staff for being professional, making me comfortable and delivering exceptional results and service.

I'm day 6. And I am having troubles breathing. I hope this is swelling :(

I had this done because my first procedure he used ear cartlidge. Well my tip was collapsing & I haven't been able to breathe at all for the last year. At my year follow up he thought taking rib, and projecting tip would make things right. I was okay for the first so many days. I felt stuffy. Then it would subside.
But the last 2 days I'm so so so so stuffed almost BLOCKED in my right nostril. The one I had issues with always. Kinda panicking. Had a really bad day yesterday. Anxiety was THROUGH THE ROOF cause I couldn't breathe :(. Today I'm getting stitches out. BUT my dr is gone for 2 weeks. So I can't see him him he's back to talk about what's possibly going on. I just HOPE this worked :((

Swelling goes down

I'm not sure why this is happening but I'm completely miserable and going to an ENT to see that is going on. I've had 2 surgeries. And still Can't Breathe. I've had it :( and I'm tired of living this way. I WISH I never spent this money!

Struggled my Whole 28 Years with Low Body Self Confidence Due to Size A Cups

Lindsey G. is extremely helpful and highly professional member of Dr. Murphy’s team. Her smile and attitude is very welcoming and she is the best at her job. Shelby, who also assists Dr. Murphy in the operating room, was professional and very friendly. I was so happy to see her again the day of my surgery. Dr. Murphy is a rockstar! He was informative about the procedure and risks, helped me choose a size that is right for my body, and made me feel comfortable and safe from start to finish. I had a breast augmentation and my results are incredible! Dr. Murphy really worked his magic.

Very happy with Dr. Murphy's attentive care! He cared about making me look well proportioned and not fake looking. His staff is also very friendly. He made me feel very comfortable and well heard. Will be back in the future.

I had tip rhinoplasty and turbinates surgery. I'm writing this at 11 days post surgery

It was worth it. I really love the way it looks.
I don't think I was prepared for recovery side.
The packing on day one was a nightmare for me. I seriously almost ended up in the emergency room from anxiety . I'm congested. But I LOVE the the way it looks. and I'm looking forward to being able to breathe once swelling down!

So I've been having issues with my breathing. Dr Murphy removed some cartlidge, in my nostrils to help with it. I've got stitches. Can't blow for a week. I'm PRAYING this helps
