Las Vegas, NV | Frank Marino Gets Candid About Plastic Surgery in Las Vegas | Plastic Surgery Vegas

Transcription

Trisha: Well, he's known as the longest running headliner on the Las Vegas strip.

Steve: Now female impersonator and comedian Frank Marino is ready for a change and shared his story with Action News reporter Megan Telles. Megan...

Megan Telles: Yes, Steve and Trisha we're used to seeing Frank Marino on our midday show to recap all things dancing with the stars, but he had a major procedure done this week and he took me behind the scenes to explain why. Take a look.

Megan Telles: It's not easy being Frank Marino, a man by day.

Frank Marino: Is everybody having a good time so far?

Megan Telles: Drag queen by night. Declaring Joan Rivers as his diva alter ego 30 years ago. Marino ditched those glittery gowns for a surgical gown this week when he got a facelift. And it's not his first cosmetic surgery.

Megan Telles: How many plastic surgeries have you done?

Frank Marino: I would say I've had 15 plastic surgeries. I know I did my chin four times because I wasn't happy with it.

Megan Telles: Then there's his nose.

Frank Marino: I had my nose done like three times.

Megan Telles: He also admits perfection is his addiction. His first surgery at the age of 16.

Frank Marino: So when I realized I could take care of a problem like that, it becomes addicting. I'm not going to lie. It's not for everyone. I'm not recommending it to anyone.

Megan Telles: Cosmetic surgery he says is his way of keeping up with the Joneses or in his glamorous world, the divas.

Frank Marino: I go on stage every night and I have Brittany Spears, and I have Katie Perry, and I have Pink. And we're taking pictures and these kids like yourself are in their twenties. I just turned 50. I don't have to compete with them, but I want to be able to look good for me the way they look good for themselves.

Megan Telles: After years of research, Marino selected two doctors for what could be his final surgery.

Goesel Anson: He's a tough patient because he dresses as a woman during the show. He has two conflicting desires. One is to look feminine and the other is to maintain his masculinity.

Megan Telles: Dr. Anson, perfecting his eyelids, lifting his face. Dr Glyman redefining his angles.

Mark Glyman: What I have to do is be able to put these implants in, secure them so they don't move, so that it gives them definition to his jaw line.

Frank Marino: It's like Russian roulette. You don't want to do it but you live. It's a high when you finally come out of it.

Megan Telles: And there he was. Frank survived. That was him you just saw being wheeled out of surgery on Monday, and I just got off the phone with him. He's doing really well. Really swollen in the jaw and facial area. He said if his brothers and sisters thought he had a big head before. Well there's proof now, right? Frank promises to share before and after photos and video with all of us. So stay tuned. Right? Trisha, Steve back to you guys.

Trisha: Megan, thank you. He looked great anyway but I cannot believe he's 50.

Steve: Yeah.

Trisha: That's what cosmetic surgery will do for you.

Steve: You know he's... Good for him for putting that out there and let everybody share it because we all.

Trisha: Be open.

Steve: You know everybody around here knows who he is.

Trisha: And he's got two great doctors too here in the Valley.

Steve: Yeah. Well-

Dr. Silver makes you feel like his new best friend! He is very attentive and explains very clearly to you on what to expect from your procedure. I am very happy with his work and would highly recommend him .

My experience at "Plastic Surgery Vegas" practice has been amazing.Everyone I came in contact with was very welcoming and professional. I can not speak highly enough of Dr. Higgins and his close staff (Laura & Kristin). This was to be my 4th breast augmentation in 25years (my 1st with Dr. Higgins), which included reconstruction/lift due to wanting to go smaller with this surgery. After my initial consultation with Dr. Higgins, I felt very comfortable and confident to proceed, but as a nurse, I had a few more questions. His reception had no problem scheduling an additional appointment to address any additional concerns. In my career as a nurse, I have met and worked with many physicians over the years. I have come across very few surgeons as authentic, caring, skilled and talented as Dr. Higgins. I felt that Dr. Higgins really listened to me, and addressed my questions and concerns. As most people are,,,, I was nervous about the surgery but felt very taken care of by Dr. Higgins and his staff all the way into to O.R. and just prior to being put to sleep. In all of my previous surgeries, I had never been met with such attention and compassion up to and beyond my surgery. Additionally, my results are PHENOMENAL, and have far exceeded my expectations. I would trust & recommend Dr. Higgins, as well as "Plastic Surgery Vegas" not only to complete strangers, but to anyone I love and care about. Las Vegas is a city that attracts lots of Plastic surgeons, which can make choosing a quality Plastic surgeon VERY difficult. I took my time, I did my research, and am extremely happy I did. If you expect quality care and results, Dr. Higgins, and Plastic Surgery Vegas will far exceed your expectations.
