Kimberly Marble, M.D.

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

My consult and time with the doc was pretty straightforward; going in there, there was no doubt what I wanted. I told her she was the expert, I was just along for the perfect end result. I knew I just wanted to be small, and she agreed that a small B would suit me just fine (I'm only 5ft). I went with Doctor Marble because I spoke to 2 different women who had a reduction done by her, both with wonderful things to say. It would have been impossible to proceed with this if not for my medical insurance. I broke my foot about 3 weeks ago, so while I am walkin around with no boot, I have not been able to exercise in the least. That, coupled with my period due the same week of the surgery, have made my weight go up a bit. I wonder if this will effect the anesthesia? I'm not sure how they know how much to give, so I assume it has to do with height and weight. My biggest concern with the procedure is the recovery; I'm a massage therapist and own my own business. I need to be back at work ASAP, but took the week after surgery off. Obviously I know I can move my appointments if necessary, but I HATE doing that to my clients. My theory is this; if I can work through torn pec muscles and a broken foot, taking a week off to get back at it shouldn't be a worry for 1 client a day. I am hopeful that I can begin my conditioning workouts as soon as my foot heals (roughly the end of October, if we go by the 6-8 weeks of bone healing). I participate in MMA and BJJ, and hope the conditioning my body has received over the last few years has prepped me for such a surgery. I am down to 36 hours before I have to be checked in to the hospital, where they will be keeping me overnight. I hope and pray for an easy surgery, and hope even more that my experience may help someone else one day. As my lifestyle is largely different than most women, maybe this will help another person.
