ABOUT DR. MICHAEL D. MARION
Dr. Michael D. Marion established Marion Plastic Surgery with a goal of breaking down the traditional doctor-patient barrier. Dr. Marion’s goal is delivering the best results while creating an environment where patients feel comfortable and relaxed, accompanied by the highest level of attention to detail and service. His approach allows patients to openly share their breast, face or body concerns so their best outcomes can be achieved. Dr. Marion is involved from the earliest consultation to post-operative recovery and follow-up.
Michael Marion is a double board certified plastic surgeon specializing in all aspects of cosmetic surgery, specifically in facial rejuvenation, breast surgery and body contouring. Dr. Marion trained at the Mayo Clinic, Marshfield Clinic and Indiana University under known leaders in the field of plastic surgery. Dr. Marion has integrated his clinical knowledge and advanced techniques into his private practice that offers both surgical and non-invasive solutions for his patients.
PERSONAL LIFE
Dr. Marion and his wife, Lisa, were married during college. Subsequent medical training then took their family, which now includes five children, to the British West Indies, New York City, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Indiana. With his training complete, his family decided to practice in Utah to be near the aspects of life they value most: both sets of grandparents, other extended family, high quality education for their children, the beautiful mountains, and surrounding wilderness with its outdoor recreation. Dr. Marion feels fortunate to have the opportunity to establish patient care in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery in Utah, his home.
While growing up in California, Dr. Marion’s parents and grandparents emphasized the value of art. During his junior high and high school years he was fortunate to work along side his grandfather in his bronze sculpture studio. He continues to enjoy painting and photography. Year round Dr. Marion likes to be outdoors in activities like camping, fishing, road biking and snowboarding.
