Vincent P Marin, MD, FACS

Update (02÷06÷16): I have since had a second surgery with Dr. Marin, and my experience was just as good as the first! I love my new breasts. 5-​star experience once again!

Dr. Marin and all of his staff are amazing! I did my homework and met with quite a few Doctors before selecting Dr. Marin. From the moment I left his office after the consultation, I knew he was the right choice. He is so patient, made me feel at ease, and touched on all the things that were bothering me before I even said anything. I had implants in 1998 and the Dr. that performed the surgery back then, left my right breast bigger than my left and they were much bigger than what I ever wanted. I came to Dr. Marin, wanting a breast lift and reduction. Dr. Marin spent so much time with me and explained everything to me. He took notes and measurements while none of the other doctors did this at the consultations. At my pre-​op, he spent even more time talking to me and explaining things again. He knew exactly what I wanted to achieve and didn’t disappoint me. I am so pleased with the results and would highly recommend Dr. Marin to anyone. Amber, Dr. Marin’s nurse as well as Rachelle who helped me get everything set up have been so wonderful from the first day, always willing to help and answer any questions I had. Now I’m saving for the tummy tuck I want and will definitely go back to Dr Marin.

I cannot speak more highly about the extremely talented Dr. Marin, his super sweet nurse Amber Lewis, and the entire staff– all smart and knowledgeable! I have been wanting to do plastic surgery for as long as I can remember. I have had many consultations but have never felt it was the right doctor, until I came to Dr. Marin. I was blown away with the professionalism and knowledge that every one had. They were very honest about what results would be achieved and they were completely accurate in the delivery. This place does not feel like a doctors office but more of a resort. The follow up appointments are fun because not only do I get to see the most recent changes, I also get to see my new friends. That’s how this place is. Personal yet professional. Accurate and precise. I went in nervous and came out extremely happy. Beyond happy. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Marin and all of his staff!

Dr. Marin is awesome. He is an amazing doctor and has the best bedside manner. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great doctor! His staff made the whole process so easy and made me feel so comfortable. I met with a lot of amazing doctors but Dr. Marin stood out not only for his amazing work but his personality and ability to make you feel as ease with the whole thing! Thanks Dr. Marin and staff!!!

Dr Marin is the best!!! Back in 2008 I went to him for a breast augmentation and my results were amazing! They looked so natural no one believes me when I say my boobs are fake! Lol! I have sent multiple people to him for procedures and they all loved him! He is so nice and takes the time to explain everything to you. I was afraid of getting an IV so they gave me the sleeping gas before the IV, he and his nurse held my hand until I fell asleep because they knew I was so nervous. Fast forward to May 2015… I had been wanting to get lip injections for quite some time because my lips are naturally so tiny… I chose to go back to Dr Marin and I couldn’t be happier! Again, he explained everything to me, numbed me really good and his nurse held my hand again haha! The results are great! I had no bruising and minimal swelling and only a tiny bit of pain after a few hours but I iced my lips and the pain left and never came back. I love that both times he kept me looking natural looking instead of trying to make me look plastic with porn star boobs and duck lips! I can’t wait to go back when its time for touch ups!!!

Dr. Marin is the not only the greatest doctor, but a rad guy. He is patient and fully answers all your questions. He makes you feel comfortable and is very attentive to all your needs. When your with him he doesn’t rush through your appointments, but is patient with answering all your questions. He answered a million for my good friend. Anyways, with my life in his hands during surgery I felt completely at ease. Woke up after surgery and felt like a million bucks. Choose him only!!!

Dr. Marin and his staff are unbelievably amazing. I was considering getting dermal fillers and went to Dr. Marin for a consultation. He took his time to explain all of the different types of fillers, the pros and cons of each, etc. He was so patient while I asked him a thousand different questions. He was very honest, up front, and he wanted to make sure that I was happy and comfortable. I have gone back to him a couple of times since and have no intention of going elsewhere. He takes his time and most importantly, he is extremely good at what he does. I am so happy with my results. I would recommend anyone thinking about getting work done to go see him for a consultation first. You won’t regret it.

A friend of mine recommended Dr. Marin– actually she RAVED about him. It has been almost six months from my breast augmentation and I can tell you that I am now the one raving. From the moment I walked into the spa-​like office I was greeted with smiling faces and professional demenors. I’m not sure how long everyone has worked there but they act as if they have been a team since the beginning of time. Being a mother of three boys I knew this was a big decision to make and I had a lot of questions. Not only did Dr. Marin answer all my questions but he made me feel extremely comfortable and never rushed though our time together (even though I’m sure he has answered these questions a million times). Dr. Marin makes you feel like he is operating on family and takes the time before, during, and after, to make sure everything is perfect. He is still checking up on me and his assistant Shannon has been like a sister throughout this whole process. I really couldn’t be happier with my experience and outcome. I was a 32AA after breastfeeding and now I am a 32C (which is exactly what I wanted). My friends and family can’t believe how real and natural they look and feel. Some are even considering doing it themselves now. Thank you Dr Marin and staff! If you are considering any of Dr Marin’s services I’m sure you will not be disappointed… just meet him!

Before choosing Dr. Marin I researched every doctor in the San Diego area & spoke to at least 10. The thing that really stood out about Dr. Marin is that he perfectly balanced his professional opinion with my personal expectations. Too many doctors either want to simply please their patient or force their opinions on their patient. Dr. Marin answered all my questions thoroughly & considered all my concerns before working with me to find the best plan for me. And it really was the best! I couldn’t be happier with my results. Dr. Marin really knows his stuff. I was also thouroughly impressed with Dr. Marin’s staff. They were so helpful, so compassionate, so thoughtful, & very knowledgable. There were many times I emailed Shannon random questions at random hours & I always received a quick response & a thorough answer. I highly recommend Dr. Marin!

I am a repeat patient of Dr. Marin and I cannot rave about him enough. For my first surgery, I met with a couple of other doctors and while they weren’t bad there was just something special about Dr. Marin and how comfortable I felt with him right away. He spent a lot of time with me during the consult going over everything and making sure I understood the process, and answered all of my questions. I did not feel rushed during the appointment which I really appreciated. My first surgery went extremely well and I was very pleased with the results. His aftercare was great and he and the staff were always available to answer any questions I had.
For my second surgery (brow lift), there was no question that I was going to see Dr. Marin again. We discussed the procedure and I felt at ease and confident that I would be happy with my results, as we were both on the same page of what we wnated to achieve. Here we are, almost two months after my procedure and I couldn’t be happier! The results look so natural and hardly anyone can tell that I had anything done. Everyone keeps telling me my face looks bright and refreshed. That was exactly what I wanted.
I would absolutely recommend Dr. Marin and his staff. Everyone from the receptionist, to Shannon and Amber are great! He definitely knows what he doing and has a great eye.

Couldn’t be any happier with my breasts! Best surgeon! I am very pleased with my results. Both me and my sister got surgery the same day. We have already recommended a friend who is also pleased with her results! Not to mention the staff is very welcoming as well as Dr Vincent Marin :)

Dr. Marin is very nice meticulous and has a wonderful bedside manner. If you need a rhinoplasty and/​or correction of your deviated sumptom I would advise going to a board certified ent/​plastic surgeon. Despite a revision that was done one year later, due to breathing problems, my nose collapsed and the breathing has become challenging again. Not to mention my nostrils are not even and it appears to be bigger ugh so I can’t give a great recommendation I should have started with an ent doc as my case was truly a difficult one.

Still a 5÷5… Just wanted to say I’ve had quite a few more of my friends go to him for their breast augmentations. They all have turned out great plus he took care of my girlfriend who needed a reconstructive job from a previous surgeon and they look so much better! Her symastia is way better now. I’m still thrilled with my results– best thing I’ve bought myself.

As a former employee at Ranch and Coast, I can say that my experience working at this office was amazing! Although my time at the office was short, due to personal reasons, I really enjoyed working with everybody. The moment you walk in, you feel so welcomed and at home!!! You feel the professionalism of the entire staff. Both Doctors Chasan and Marin are great surgeons who provide the highest quality of care towards their patients. I saw wonderful results in the surgeries and injectable procedures that were done at the office, they have their own OR and recovery room which is incredible because patients don’t have to be moving from one place to another right after their surgery, they have a kids area to leave your little ones while you have your consult! How cool is that? I can’t stress this fact enough! This office is amazing! The Doctors, The Nurses, The Esthetician, The Endermologist, The Front Office Staff! Pebbles by the Beach!!! Everyone! You are all AWESOME!!! Thank you for giving me the opportunity in working with all of you!
Please don’t doubt in calling and setting up a consultation! You will not regret it!!!
Thank you Ranch and Coast!!!
Xoxo

I was referred by my really close friend who had her BA done by Dr. Marin. Her BA looks great, which is why I asked her for her Dr’s information. I made an appointment here and the office was really nice. This was my first time ever coming to a plastic surgeons office so I was not sure what to expect. I was so nervous. The staff was not welcoming in my opinion. I seen three 50+ women who all looked the same, big boobs to their necks, sunbed tanned skin, ugly puffy lips, they looked like cartoon characters from Shark Tale. It was really bizarre. Finally after waiting for what seemed like forever (they were only 10 min late) I get called back with the nurse. The LVN was really nice and in fact the only nice person here. She answered most of my questions. The doctor came in, he examined me which was so uncomfortable and embarrassing… he did not spend much time with me and I got the sense he did not want to be there. I can’t really pin point what it was but I knew that I did not want him to be my doctor. After the quick consult I had to wait for the numbers. I get called back and the lady said «don’t fall off your chair, I see you expected to pay less». Well, she came with $ 18,565 for the mommy makeover. I am not overweight at all. I was shocked… not to say that I wasn’t able to pull that off but that was definitely higher than I expected. I have a co worker who had it done in La Jolla with board certified surgeons who were featured in magazines and local media, she paid that for a mommy makeover with circumferential cut! I was just having a hip to hip. The next day I had a much better experience with another Dr from Scripps La Jolla who is also board certified and is charging significantly lower. I know that money isn’t everything, you get what you pay for, but besides the money he was not that friendly. He even made a comment, «I can get you to look good, but you’re not going to be Playboy good». Ummmm… I don’t want to look like Playboy! I was really disappointed and discouraged but I think I found my plastic surgeon elsewhere.

The decision to have plastic surgery took years to make. I had three children and nursed each for a least a year. I also took care of my grandmother for 15 years and that put a lot of stress induced yo-​yoing of weight during that time.
At age 50 I took a look in the mirror and saw that the years had taken their toll. I am usually one to do things as natural as possible but sometimes you just need help.
When you enter Ranch & Coast Plastic Surgery the first thing you notice is the most beautiful artwork on display. It kind of gets you dreaming and hoping that maybe you could have a body like that.
Little did I know that Dr. Vincent Merin was exactly that, an Artist! He and his team have given me the best gift, a dream come true.
I had two procedures done, Breast Augmentation in 2012 and then after getting as healthy as I could, Liposuction in 2014. But here is the kicker… he got me to quit smoking before he even started.
This has been the best investment I have ever made on myself. I cannot thank him enough.
Happy, healthy and now … Beautiful!

Dr. Marin was my first and last stop! At the consultation I new he was a perfect fit so there was no point in doing a second consultation. He does amazing work and makes the whole process very comfortable. I am extremely satisfied with his work and all of his staff, and I would recommend them to anyone interested in the procedures provided at his facility. For all those contemplating about a procedure (like me at first) go see Dr. Marin. He makes your decision a no brainier! :)

Holy cow… I cannot say enough nice things about Dr. Marin and his team. I’d been contemplating a breast aug for a couple years, but never found a doctor that ‘got me’.
After 10 minutes with Dr. Marin, I was ready to fill out my intake forms and schedule my appointment… which I did for 5 days later.
Fast forward to post op – At day 1, I was comfortable (minimal meds), they already looked amazing, and I had almost no bruising. Day 5, I felt like I could rock a bikini and nobody would even know they were fake (but I kept on my sports bra, like a good little patient).
The results are SO amazing and I felt so great that my sister ended up scheduling a different procedure with him for a week later (I’m sure she will be leaving her 5-​star Unilocal review soon too!). Already, she’s thrilled with the results.
I’d also like to say a quick THANK YOU! to Rachelle, Ashley, Julie, Shannon, and the other O.R. nurses that took such good care of us. I know they operate on people routinely, but the whole team made me and my sis feel so well cared for and special. :)

I went to Dr. Marin about a year ago for plastic surgery. I couldn’t be happier with the out come! Through out the entire process Dr. Marin and his staff kept me comfortable. I wouldn’t go to anyone else! Dr. Marin and his staff are incredible!

I have referred multiple friends to Dr. Marin for different procedures and every one of them has had the same fantastic experience that I did.
Walking into Ranch and Coast Plastic Surgery, you are surrounded by a relaxing and beautiful environment — from the greeting at the counter, to the waiting area and exam rooms. After my initial consult, I made the immediate decision that Dr. Marin would be my surgeon. Other offices that I had initial consults at felt very much like a community doctor’s office, with my interview seeming to be very Q&A, rather than a discussion. I felt like I was just another person wanting a procedure, and that while they would complete it, that there was little consideration to me as an individual. I appreciate the length at which they have gone at Ranch and Coast to be one step above and beyond.
Dr. Marin and his assistant Shannon make a WONDERFUL team. He is very attentive, and genuinely addresses questions and concerns for you personally. While discussing my procedure, he took every aspect of my life into consideration for both the recovery period and the end result, made very honest suggestions and made me feel very comfortable with decision I made. Shannon was with me every step of the way, as a comfortable sounding board and huge knowledge resource — she continues to follow up with me many months post surgery to make sure I am still doing well!
I could not be happier with my results, as well! At every single follow up appointment, I have been given the same amount of attention, genuineness and confidence that I absolutely chose the right surgeon and team — the best in San Diego!
