Patient Testimonials
Amazing! I highly recommend Aesthetx Marin. I researched several places and this was by far the best in our area. The entire staff treats you like family and helps you through the process in a friendly, comforting, and respectful way. Their office is beautiful with brand new, state-of-the-art equipment. I particularly liked the 3D imaging because it was able to see different sizes and options before making any decisions. Dr. Douglas and his staff were patient with me, never rushed decision-making, answered all my questions, and really made me feel comfortable. Dr. Douglas has years of experience and an impressive history as a Navy Surgeon. I am VERY happy with my results and entirely confident and impressed with is skills. You will be too!
I couldn't recommend Aesthetx Marin enough! There are many options out there for plastic surgeons but I am so glad I was able to find them through a referral, because I can't imagine having a better experience. Dr. Douglas and his staff are so welcoming, friendly, respectful, and most of all, professional. They really make you feel like you are in good hands, whether you are going in for a major procedure or a facial. I couldn't be happier with my results, everything exceeded my expectations. They have the most beautiful and clean office, and the best tech out there, including a 3D imaging machine which was amazing! I did a lot of research before going to Dr. Douglas, and I really don't think I could have gotten a better experience anywhere else. Through the whole process they made me feel comfortable, listened to my requests and concerns, and always followed up with me and made me feel totally cared for. For me, my results and the incredibly short healing process speak for themselves.
Aesthetx Marin is absolutely amazing! Dr. Douglas gave me just the lift and augmentation I needed after having two small kids. It was absolute perfection and exactly what I asked for, a very natural look. Since my surgery I have been back for several treatments, including the state of the art laser treatment they offer to get rid of surgical scars. Six months after surgery there is not a single hint of a scar. My other treatments have included a variety of skin treatments that keep my skin looking fresh and young, thanks to a combination of Dr. Douglas and his staff. I cannot say enough good things about this office. I will continue to go back!

Recovery
Breast ReductionMember Response:
In general scars take 9-12 months to fully mature and will continue to change over time. Depending on you skin type and quality the scars can change quite dramatically during the first several month. It is important to have regular follow up appointments with your surgeon so that the recovery process can be monitored over time. There are some additional measures that may help the scar as it heals - these may include silicone scar sheets/gel or scar laser treatments.
Breast Implants removed well, but the right nipple looks more like a dimple
Breast LiftMember Response:
Thanks for your question and doing your homework with ASPS member surgeons. Seeing the final result after breast implant removal can take up to 9-12 months. Time and patience are your best friends during the early recovery period since in usually takes at least 4-6 months to see appreciable changes from skin contraction. Your breasts will go through a number of changes in appearance during recovery. If you still have some residual contour irregularity after 9-12 months, treating the area with filler or fat grafting may be possible and a good solution to address shape and symmetry. Best wishes in obtaining a fantastic result.
capsular contracture
Breast AugmentationMember Response:
Thank you for your question and doing your homework with ASPS member surgeons. I am going to respectfully disagree with the posts that have already been made. Breast implants are designed as single use devices, In my opinion, the safest and best thing to do is to replace the implant with a new one. There are many theories regarding the origins of capsular contracture and residual biofilm on the existing implant may further increase your chance of having a recurrent capsular contracture. While there are many acceptable ways to perform revision breast surgery, in my practice, I always use a new implant when it is deemed necessary to exchange implants for whatever reason and at whatever time it has been since surgery. Best wishes on obtaining a great result and a speedy recovery.
Fat transfer for correcting breast reduction?
Breast AugmentationMember Response:
Fat grafting is an effective way to enhance breast shape and volume but it is important to know that the amount of volume that can be transferred at any one time has limitations and it usually requires multiple rounds of fat grafting to achieve optimal results in the absence of using breast implants. Experience and studies show that about 2/3-3/4 of the transferred fat will survive. Cost will vary so it will be important to partner with an experienced plastic surgeon who can work with you to achieve your desired aesthetic goals over time. Best wishes on a great result and speedy recovery.
Breast Lift with Breast Augmentation (Implants)
Breast LiftMember Response:
Thank you for your question and doing your homework with ASPS member surgeons. The choice of implant locations is best made in partnership with your board-certified plastic surgeon. As you realize, there are a number of factors that go into this decision and working with an experienced surgeon in your area will ultimately lead you to the best and safest results. There are pros and cons to each approach and your final choice should be customized to your individual features, aesthetic goals, and recovery timeline. Best wishes on a great result and speedy recovery.
Age limitation
Tummy TuckMember Response:
Thank you for your question and doing your homework with ASPS member surgeons. The actual age is not as much a factor as is your overall health. Safety is always paramount so getting the proper medical clearance and preoperative studies is an important part of your preoperative evaluation in addition to consultation with a boar-certified ASPS member surgeon in your area. Best wishes on a great result and speedy recovery.
Buttocks lift/augmentation
LiposuctionMember Response:
Thank you for your question and doing your homework with ASPS member surgeons. Fat transfer to the buttocks has become a very popular procedure and yields excellent results in properly selected candidates. Have a safe operative experience is the foremost priority! As with any plastic surgery procedure, whether surgical or non-surgical, it is always best to have an in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area. Together with your surgeon, you can develop a customized treatment plan that is best suited to your individual features, cosmetic goals, budget, and recovery timeline. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) both have “Find a Surgeon” features on their respective websites to facilitate finding a properly trained and qualified plastic surgeon in your area.
Rupture removal
Breast AugmentationMember Response:
Thank you for your question and doing your homework with ASPS member surgeons. If one implant is ruptured, it is generally best to remove and replace both at the same time. As with any plastic surgery procedure, whether surgical or non-surgical, it is always best to have an in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) both have “Find a Surgeon” features on their respective websites to facilitate finding a properly trained and qualified plastic surgeon in your area.
Is it safe
Mommy MakeoverMember Response:
Thank you for your question and doing your homework with ASPS member surgeons. Multiple procedures are certainly possible and will depend on factors such as your overall health, the amount of liposuction to be performed and how efficiently your surgeon works. Staging procedures for safety reasons is certainly reasonable. Best wishes on a great result and speedy recovery.
Galaflex
Breast LiftMember Response:
Thank you for your question and doing your homework with ASPS member surgeons. Galaflex is a remarkable material and I have been using for a variety of breast procedures over the last several years. It does very well for primary breast lifts as well as a host of revision breast procedures where additional support is required. As with any plastic surgery procedure, whether surgical or non-surgical, it is always best to have an in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area. Our practice is just down the road from you, so please consider visiting us for a consultation - Restore SD Plastic Surgery.
Will i asleep doing breast augmentation surgery with slicone breast implants
Breast AugmentationMember Response:
Thanks for your question and doing your homework with ASPS member surgeons. In general, breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia with the patient all the way asleep. During the recovery process you will be asked to wear a compression bra that may then transition into a sports bra. Recovery will vary for everyone but most people are back to their usual activities by 3-4 weeks and back to more vigorous athletic activities by 6-8 weeks. Marathon training can put some addition stresses on your body so it would be wise to discuss this with your surgeon.
Choosing a surgeon
Mommy MakeoverMember Response:
Thank you for your question and doing your homework with ASPS member surgeons. Congratulations on taking the first step which is educating yourself about your surgeon's credentials.

The ASPS has a "Find a Surgeon" feature on the website to assist you in locating a properly trained and qualified surgeon in your area. Best wishes on a great result and speedy recovery.
Need a few things
Body ContouringMember Response:
Thank you for your question and doing your homework with ASPS member surgeons. Body contouring after weight loss is a great way to refine and restore your figure, but there are several factors that must be taken into account including nutritional status, other medical conditions, and your desired goals. It is always best to see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to develop a safe treatment plant that is customized to your individual features, goals, budget, and recovery timeline. Safety always comes first, so be sure to use the "Find a Surgeon" feature on the ASPS website to assist in finding a properly trained and qualified plastic surgeon in your area. Best wishes on a great result and speedy recovery!
Breast has has hardened
Breast AugmentationMember Response:
Thank for your question and doing your homework with ASPS member surgeons. Changes in your breast should be examined by a plastic surgeon and you should have a current mammogram or similar imaging study if you are in that age range. Capsular contracture can cause hardening in one or both breast implants. There are several treatment options so it is best to partner with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to develop a treatment plan that is customized to your individual features, cosmetic goals, budget, and recovery timeline. The ASPS website has a "Find a Surgeon" feature to help facilitate finding properly trained and qualified plastic surgeon in your area.
Cost
Breast AugmentationMember Response:
Krystina, Thanks for your question and doing your homework with ASPS member surgeons. The price will vary from area to area but you should be able to find something in the range of $9000-$13,000 from a board-certified plastic surgeon. As with any procedure, it is important to have an in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area. The ASPS website has a "Find a Surgeon" feature that can assist you with finding a properly trained and qualified surgeon in your area.
Breast implant removal
Breast AugmentationMember Response:
Emily, Thank you for your question and doing your homework with ASPS member surgeons. Implant removal is a very hot topic right now and is a very personal choice. It is important to see a board-certified plastic surgeon to develop a comprehensive plan that is customized to your individual features, cosmetic goals, budget, and recovery timeline. The ASPS website has a "Find a Surgeon" feature that can assist you in finding a surgeon in your area. The costs will vary by geographic area of the country and it is important to know what is exactly included in your quote. Surgeon's fees will be around $3000-$6000 for implant removal alone, more if a breast lift is added. There are additional fees for anesthesia and facility use so the total cost may get close to $8000-$10,000.
Cost and down time
Arm LiftMember Response:
Thanks for your question and doing your homework with ASPS member surgeons. Brachioplasty is a wonderful body contouring procedure and the costs will vary considerably by geographic area. In general, total cost including anesthesia, surgeon's fees, and facility costs will run between $7000 - $10,000 depending on the complexity of the procedure. Recovery is fairly predictable and most patients return to work by two weeks and may take a bit longer to return to more vigorous exercise or athletic activities.
Providers?
Body ContouringMember Response:
Thank you for your question and doing your homework with ASPS member surgeons. The first place to start is with a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area. You can partner with your surgeon to develop a safe and customized treatment plan that is best suited to your individual features, cosmetic goals, budget, and recovery timeline. Certain body contouring procedures can be combined while others are best done spaced apart by 4-6 months to allow some recovery time between surgical procedures. Patient safety always comes first!
First Consultation
Mommy MakeoverMember Response:
Thank you for your question and doing your homework with ASPS member surgeons. The cost of a consultation will vary from office to office. Some will offer complimentary consultations at no charge while others will charge around $100 with the cost of the consult applied to the surgery fee if you book surgery within a certain period of time. You are already on the right track with ASPS and can use the "Find a Surgeon" feature on the website to identify qualified, board-certified surgeons in your area. Best wishes on a great result and speedy recovery.

I had lipo and a breast lift by Dr. Douglas 2 months ago and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results!! He put me at ease, and his staff was warm and comforting. I felt completely taken care of from my consultation through all of my post op appointments and had him do some filler to my cheeks and lips, and the result is super natural and perfect. The aesthetician was also super knowledgeable about helping me with skincare and all the laser options for after summer. I'll definitely have everything done here from now on.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer and wanted to know all of my reconstructive options. I was very blessed when I was referred to Dr. Douglas for my reconstructive surgery after my mastectomy. He is very detailed and makes sure that he gets it right. He cares what you think and will not settle for anything else. I wish Dr. Douglas was my Primary Care Provider because I would never let him go. He is, by far, the top Doctor that you want to go to in order get what you want and need. He knows exactly what you are asking for and knows how to come through with outstanding results. He does not walk away from you until you are 100% happy, and he is happy to see you at each phase of recovery.. When he is in the room with me, no one else is his priority but me. I can go on and on about Dr. Douglas. If I can only give him a 5 out of 5 stars, I would have to argue that and give him a 10. You will not regret a visit and surgery with him!! – JM
Dr. Douglas, It took me awhile to decide on a facelift and I am glad that I chose you. Your thoughtful planning and delightful bedside manner put me at ease as we went from planning to surgery and on to recovery. You are truly talented and my results look so natural. I am thrilled with my outcome and am eager to go show off my new look. Many thanks to you and your fabulous staff! – ML
I was so happy that I decided to go to Dr. Douglas for my breast augmentation surgery. I had visited two other plastic surgeons and knew that I had found the right doctor for me when I met Dr. Douglas and his staff. The entire experience was amazing and I’m thrilled with my surgical results. I really felt that Dr. Douglas listened to my goals and what I wanted to get out of my breast enhancement surgery. I look and feel great and my self-esteem has never been better. I have highly recommended Dr. Douglas to my friends and co-workers and will look forward to coming back for my Botox and skin care needs. – FR
"Dr. Douglas - You are truly talented and my results look so natural. I am thrilled with my outcome and am eager to go show off my new look. Many thanks to you and your fabulous staff!" - ML
Dr. Douglas and his staff are phenomenal! I had a mastectomy with immediate reconstruction about four months ago, and I was unhappy with my results. Thankful I found Dr. Douglas, and believe me when I say, he went above and beyond to meet my goals and expectations. Not only did he correct my uneven breasts, but he was able to go from under the muscle to over the muscle along with fat grafting all in one surgery!!! I am so much more comfortable and confident with myself. I just cannot believe how amazing my breasts look and feel! He's not only talented, but he is considerate, kind, and an experienced doctor. I felt right at home in his office. His staff member Erin was also the highlight to my reconstruction journey. She is relatable, funny and very supportive. She brings such joy to the office and will always keep you smiling. I highly recommend Dr. Douglas to anyone considering breast reconstruction, breast augmentation, or liposuction. If he can make ME look as amazing as I do I can only imagine what he can do for both mastectomy & non-mastectomy patients. Trust him, his hands are magic!
When I first searched the internet for a surgeon to perform a tummy tuck/liposuction procedure for me, there were a plethora of potential candidates from which to choose. After much careful consideration (and with my husbands blessing) I chose Dr Douglas to do my tummy tuck w/liposuction. I am very glad that I did! Not only has he done a fabulous job (we couldn't be happier as the results still unfold) but his in-office staff, surgical team and facilities are among the finest I have ever seen. In addition to his surgical skill, Dr. Douglas has the best team at his side with his excellent choice of a surgical center, his surgical nurses, and also in the anesthesiologist he used during my procedure, each one putting me absolutely at ease beforehand, and worked hard to make my transition to home afterwards seamless. I am going to be moving to Florida soon, but without a doubt I can say that I will return to San Diego to have all of my "restorative procedures" in the future performed by Dr. Douglas.
Dr. Douglas and Staff, Wow! I can’t believe my new body and how great I feel. My breast augmentation and liposuction have really changed my look for the better. I enjoyed working with you and your staff and am confident that I made the right choice in my surgeon. I will look forward to picking out new clothes and know that I will look great at the office and out socially. Thank you so very much! – KP
I had a very awesome experience at Restore SD Plastic Surgery. I was very pleased with the hospitality and customer service from my initial consultation, my procedure, and throughout my post op appointments. The staff is very friendly, professional, warm and welcoming. State of the art equipment, including the 3D imaging which I loved as it showed before and after comparisons. Very welcoming and soothing atmosphere. Dr. Douglas did an excellent job in getting rid of those unwanted areas that I have been fighting to get rid of for years. He gave me a well sculptured body that I am very pleased with. I am continuously losing weight, looking marvelous, and feeling marvelous. My liposuction procedure is just what I needed to jumpstart my healthy and ideal weight loss lifestyle. I wouldn't have anyone else, than Dr. Douglas, perform plastic surgery on me. I highly recommend him and his team.
Aesthetx Marin is amazing! You are met instantly with a warm and friendly staff. I find it extremely important to put my trust in a board-certified plastic surgeon who continues to be educated on cutting-edge technology and techniques. Why I chose Dr Douglas is because he has years of experience and an amazing eye for the 'natural' look. I've been super happy with my results. I highly recommend!
Wonderful staff that create wonderful results! Brand new equipment that is more customer-friendly producing better results. Dr. Douglas is very kind, gentle and knowledgeable. I trust him and his team completely!
Dr. Douglas, Thank you so much! My mommy makeover has given me a renewed sense of self-confidence and I have never looked or felt better. Your patience, care, and attention to detail were much appreciated during the process. Your staff is amazing and I can’t say enough good things about my experience. – GL
I want to thank Dr. Douglas for the years of excellent and personal care you he provided me. From replacing my encapsulated implants and doing a breast lift to my lower eyelid lift and fat transfer surgery, you have given me a much more youthful look and confidence boost. I appreciate that you developed a relationship with me as your patient and took time to listen to my goals and concerns so together we could develop a perfect plan for me. You are a true professional with skill and compassion. I feel very fortunate to have you as my Plastic Surgeon. – SS
I truly recommend Aesthetx Marin to anyone looking for an excellent, outstanding very skillful Cosmetic Surgeon, Dr. Trent Douglas is the best Plastic Surgeon in Marin. I came to him for my breast augmentation I love my result he was great in explaining the medical procedure & the entire process was made very comfortable for me my recovery also went very smoothly & fast couldn't be any happier with my result.
This is the second surgery I've had done by DR Douglas and I couldn't be happier with my results. I refer my friends to him all the time and I'm confident they'll be just as happy with their results. If you are thinking of having plastic surgery or just have questions, you owe it to yourself to come in and sit down with DR Douglas. His facility is beautiful and the staff are wonderful. You won't be disappointed!
Dr. Douglas saved my life! No joke! I have been suffering from what became debilitating medical issues for 5 years. Sweeping my symptoms under the rug as if it was just a low-grade infection or a mild health concern which I certainly knew would eventually go away or hopefully cure itself...at some point. Instead I ignored the root cause...which for me was BII (breast implant illness). My body instantly began attacking itself...within 2 months of implants, I was suffering from migraines that turned into vertigo (which lasted 37 days!!). Then it spiraled from chronic fatigue to fibromyalgia, hyperthyroidism, Hoshimoto's, to blurred vision, severe brain fog, excruciating back, neck and shoulder pain...to lastly large fibrous cysts...and day by day...little by little I became depressed, lifeless and fearful of an early death. The massive overload of toxins in my body were slowly killing me! Now, not everyone has this reaction to silicone or saline...and I'm not writing this to scare you...I'm just so incredibly grateful that Dr. Douglas listened to me! He never said I was crazy...he never said it was all in my head!...what he did say is that many women DO have reactions to foreign toxins and that implants are not for everyone and if I feel this unhealthily, then I should listen to my body! He was empathetic! Professional! Compassionate! and SINCERE! I booked my explant that day! 3 weeks later had surgery...and I'm now 11 days post OP and I feel myself making a come back! I'm alert, no aches or pains ANYWHERE and I'm loving my new look!! Thank you Dr. Douglas!! You and your team are amazing and I will forever be grateful that I found you!!!
At 47, and with 3 grown children, I decided it was time for a “mommy makeover” and I couldn’t be more pleased with my results or my surgeon. Dr. Douglas is by far the most thorough and caring surgeon I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He listened attentively to my requests and explained how he could implement those requests with my frame and body type; the end result literally took my breath away. The surgical skill of Dr. Douglas has enhanced my self-esteem and enabled me to feel good about myself, not only on the inside but on the outside as well. I would not hesitate to have Dr. Douglas perform more surgical procedures in the future nor would I hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking a surgeon for their plastic surgery needs. - EQ
