My fellow Yelpers, I have been remiss. I have taken way too long to share my unparalleled experience with the fine Dr. Vincent Marin.
For those of you who may not wish to read my entire story below, do not hesitate for a minute to book your next 'appearance improvement' with Dr. Marin. He is a superb artist and I am so incredibly thankful for his work - my friends were all amazed at how great I looked as a 56 y/o bride!
Let me share my journey..... I had decided the time had come for me to get a face lift. I was getting married for the first time and wanted to at least not LOOK like 56. I am the consummate consumer and research all of my purchases. Of course, the research involved in finding a plastic surgeon for a facelift required that I up the ante on my research thoroughness. I went on-line and researched many surgeons in the SoCal area--read their credentials, read all customer reviews, and looked at their websites for other patient results. My search was narrowed down to 4 physicians. I scheduled interviews with each physician.
As a sidebar note, I was also seeking a physician that I would partner with for my inevitable lifetime, appearance improvement work so I was hopeful that whoever did my work would be my life partner surgeon.
I was impressed with Dr. Marin's credentials but when I met him, I was so pleased with his demeanor, his facility, his empathy, and his thoroughness, and, lest I not forget, his assistant, Shannon. They make an incredible team. The facility is very well done - a bit like a spa environment.
Shortly after my visit, I booked my surgery. Dr. Marin recommended the appropriate 'facelift' for me and I took his recommendation.
It was a little over 2 months before my wedding that I had my surgery. I wasn't worried - I had the utmost trust in Dr. Marin. I opted for the option to spend the night in the facility with a registered nurse. When I arrived, the team was there just for me. I saw my operating room - a sophisticated, well-equipped operating room right on-site. One of the reasons I chose Dr. Marin was the fact that they address the "after surgery" experience. I didn't want it to be an out-patient surgery and thankfully they offered the option to spend the night there and have a nurse stay with you.
After the surgery, I had follow-up appointments with both Dr. Marin and Shannon and they were open to any questions I had as I progressed through my recovery. Shannon is empathetic and knowledgeable - I was comfortable with her expertise and thoroughness from the beginning. Dr. Marin was encouraging and helpful with any questions I had throughout my recovery time.
Fast forward to my wedding on October 11. My friends said they couldn't tell I had done anything but I looked fabulous. Well, that is exactly what I had wanted. I didn't need to LOOK like I had a facelift or any work done, I needed to look younger and refreshed. I believe that goal was achieved.
I couldn't be happier with Dr. Marin. I am elated that I chose Dr. Marin and his team as my new life partners for my appearance improvement work!
THANK YOU DR. MARIN!! read more
