Meet Dr. Vincent P. Marin — Skilled Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas Plastic Surgeon
"I always knew I would be a surgeon. Plastic Surgery attracted me because it’s one of the few specialties that is as intriguing as it is complex. A heightened level of skill is required to be a great plastic surgeon. When you consider your final results are impossible to hide, doing it well becomes the ultimate challenge. Cosmetic enhancement offers a certain degree of artistic freedom and interpretation. And that makes my profession one of the most satisfying I can imagine."
Dr. Vincent P. Marin, a leading plastic surgeon practicing at our Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas practive, graduated with honors from Harvard College and subsequently earned his medical degree from the prestigious Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York. During his extensive surgical training, he served as Chief Resident of the Baylor College of Medicine Division of Plastic Surgery at the world renowned Texas Medical Center. A Diplomate of the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Marin is among the academic elite in his specialty.
“After spending 15 years completing a rigorous undergraduate program, medical school, and residency I consider myself trained at the highest level. The options available to prospective cosmetic surgery patients can be daunting. Elective surgery is still surgery. It’s important that patients feel confident in the expertise we offer. It’s not as level a playing field as one might expect. I feel fortunate to have been part of some very distinguished programs and I’m comfortable comparing my qualifications openly.”
Dr. Marin specializes in procedures of the face, breast and body. He is currently the Director of Cosmetic Surgery and Skin Care at the Gunter Center for Aesthetics and Cosmetic Surgery in Dallas.
Dr. Vincent P. Marin feels strongly that a productive consultation is one of the most important steps in the process of selecting the right surgeon. He enjoys talking with patients who have done their research, but maintains that brochures, videos and the Internet tend to generalize procedures that ultimately must be tailored to the individual. Dr. Marin describes his primary role as guiding prospective patients through the myriad of cosmetic enhancement procedures and interpreting the information in a personal context. Patients, he believes, cannot successfully be treated without his first establishing a high degree of trust and respect.
“There are three things I want every patient to know; first, that whatever we do will be safe. I am not a gimmick surgeon and won’t cut corners. I believe in basic results that will last. Second, my intention is that no patient ever feels they are on an assembly line. It’s impossible to connect with a patient when either of you feels rushed. I will take as much time as necessary to listen and incorporate their goals into our treatment plan. And third, the smarter I make my patients; the happier they are as a partner in the process.”
Most people seek subtle, but distinct enhancements in their appearance. According to Dr. Marin it takes insight to be able to discern the proper recommendation.
“It’s a question of balance. I have to analyze which surgical and/or non surgical treatments are appropriate in accordance with a patient’s expectations, lifestyle, recovery parameters and budget. Flexibility is the key.”
Dr. Marin’s role as director of non invasive procedures gives him this flexibility.
The demand for BOTOX® injections and dermal fillers continues to climb whether they are used to postpone or refine surgical intervention. They also serve as a great vehicle to maintain an ongoing relationship with patients.
“This is really the icing on the cake because surgery does not do it all. Injectables add the artistic completion of the picture for post surgical patients. Those who are not surgical candidates can still enjoy subtle, temporary improvements to their appearance. Injectables give me the platform to meet patients anywhere along the continuum. I don’t want to have someone else start or finish my work for me.”
Dr. Marin loves what he does. The variety, the challenges, the advances—nothing is routine.
“I always keep in mind that to be able to make a living at what I love is a gift.”
