Dr Murphy and his staff were AMAZING. I refer him to anyone inquiring about any sort of plastic surgery. Everyone there was kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. I am so happy I had such a positive experience.
29 Years Old, 2 Kids, and a Much Needed Tummy Tuck with a Little Lipo - Englewood, CO So far I have met with drs and have chosen my doctor. Scheduled my surgery date February 11th 2016. My preop appointment is February 1st. Feeling all kinds of ways. As for me I have been a size 4/5 my entire life until I had kids I had gained 55 pounds my first pregnancy and then gained more afterwards. I finally lost it all3 years later but had stretched my skin out as I only stand at 5'1 and have a small torso. When I gain weight it all goes to my belly. I had my second baby in 2012 and like the first pregnancy gained a ton afterwards. Hit a size 16 and then realized I had to do something. I embarked a healthy diet last January 2015 and lost 60 pounds I'm down to 140 pounds 2 pounds heavier then what it was in high school only problem is now my skin is so stretched out and hangs low to pelvic area I'm totally uncomfortable and just ready to get this tummy gone. I currently wear a size 4/5 in jeans. Looking forward to the big day Here is a side view and front view of my mommy tummy. Can't wait for it to be gone Had my Preop appt this morning went really well. Now I'm feeling more anxious to get this done and super excited. They took my before pix Dr murphy believes I'll be a great candidate for before and after pix as I have so much extra skin compared to how small the rest of my body is. Makes me very excited for the results after everything is healed. Got my prescriptions to get filled kind of nervous about the Lovenox injections way to slip that one in. 10 more days until February 11th and shed all this skin Well went grocery shopping, cleaned house, did laundry, got all my meds and medical supplies needed. Just took my first dose of Celebrex as prescribed. Can't believe this happens tomorrow kept myself busy to keep the nerves away so far so good. Dr and anesthesiologist called to check in with me today. Ready to say bye bye to all this extra skin Juat got home finally the anesthesia is wearing off. Pain is real but with all the meds not too bad. Can't wait to see my results. Lost 4 pounds of skin and dr murphy decided to lipo more areas ribs, hips, and a little from my abs. Very swollen but looking great and feeling less pain today. Had my first post op appt the day after surgery went great they took the pain pump out as it was leaking medicine out. Pain got real that night and yesterday but feel renewed today Feeling great able to pull off to pain meds to only 3 pills today. Loved getting out of the house. Ps says I'm looking great and should be able to stand a little straighter by end of week. Nurse took some stitches out from lipo areas. As he did lipo and muscle repair. After went shopping with my mom and drove around the store in one of those motorized carts. Feeling more independent today and even made it upstairs to my room. And bowrls starting working yesterday. I have been drinking Metamucil to help with that. Eating normal since day of surgery as no nausea going on with me. Compression garment is helping a lot with the swelling ps said swelling has gone done. Will see him again in a week So dr. Murphy again today. He says I'm looking great for being 10 days post op. Still very swollen above incision but that will heal in time. He also wants me working on walking straight. Just been to nervous to try but hubby is reminding me to do it. The tension when standing straight just feels tight but dr says thats normal. I'll see him again in a week Still very swollen Feeling pretty fantastic about myself tonight. I know we shouldn't be weighing ourself yet due to swelling and water retention. But for and just had to do it tonight. Became that way thanks to my weight loss program. Anywho I'm feeling better great doing light house work. My walk is improving and I'm really glad I chose Dr. Murphy as my ps. Feeling great so Dr two days ago for 3 weeks checkup. Says I look great loves how the swelling is going down and showing some contour. Can start carrying light things now. My belly button a stitch separated so still have to clean and care for that. Scab is starting to fall off in some areas. He said I can start Scargard and I will also be using Arnica gel as I hear it is amazing. Feeling fabulous. By end of night swelling increases but I know this is a long recovery process and feel very confident in the way things are looking Had my 5 week check up yesterday. Dr Murphy and nurse snipped some dissolvable stitches that were poking through my skin. Which is very common to happen they just picked them out real quick and all the tender areas I had are all gone. Very pleased with my results this far I know I still have some time before all the swelling is gone but I love being flat and know my results will just get better. Finally got intimate with my hubby at 4 weeks kept it "gentle". Here's a close up of my scar haven't started scar treatment yet. Just ordered Scargard through Amazon a few days ago which is what my ps recommended but he sells it for double the price of Amazon. Thanks to the amazing nurse who told me this info A little late in posting my 6 week pix. I feel great finally put on my bikini prior to kids and it fits amazing. Its been about 2 weeks using scarguard. Here's some updated pictures So ps again for my 10 week check up says i look great but still am swollen some. Eh guess my body likes to stay swollen for along time. See him again in 6 months. Had a reaction to Scargard so dr gave me a sample of Embrace silicone sheets. Absolutely loved it so just purchased a 60 day supply today. Price is steep but hey its so worth it at this point. Seen huge difference in the 9 days I yave had it on. Also went bikini shopping at Victoria's Secret bout 3 bikinis whooo hooo. Started working out want to stay small and trim and tone up my body. Absolutely love my results. My scar does show in my bikini as they are a low cut bikini bottom my hubby wanted as skimpy as possible hence the fact of spending 600 on embrace
I used Dr. Murphy after a girlfriend of mine used him a couple years back for breast augmentation. I was very nervous, but Dr. Murphy and his staff were very informative, patient, and helpful. I don't think I ever had a doctor where everyone in the office was as helpful and kind as he was. I had a breast augmentation, and he was honest with me about how big I could go without going too big for my body ( I did 535 cc under the muscle with an under the breast incision). I was so excited during the consultation that I forgot to ask questions, but he gave me even more information that I wasn't asking for that I felt very informed before my surgery. He did amazing work and I am very happy. I would recommend him to anyone looking to have any work done.
Amazing Breast Augmentation - Denver, CO I used Dr. Murphy after a girlfriend of mine used him a couple years back for breast augmentation.

My wife went to see Dr Murphy on the referral of a friend. Unfortunately her procedure was not as simple as a breast augmentation. She had hers done back 32 years ago and wasn't aware that those type of implants needed to be replaced every 7 - 10 years. She noticed deformation and swelling and they were getting very hard. After seeing Dr. Murphy, he explained she had implants that were encapsulated and they needed replaced. They had somehow moved under the fold of where her normal breast should have been and he also ensured us that he would be able to fix that problem. She had a 3 hour, very intense surgery that involved removal and replacement, lift and re-positioning of the nipples. Her old implants had also started to leak. She is still recovering but already there is a remarkable difference and Dr. Murphy and his beautiful staff over exceeded our expectations and we cant thank them enough! GOOD JOB DOC!!
48 Years Old, Should Have Done This 10 Years Ago. Denver, CO Dr Murphy & staff definitely exceeded my expectations!! I was hoping for some resemblance to pre-pregnancy breasts from 18 years ago, but they look even better than in my 20s! I went from a sagging DD+ to a perky C! Every day I am thankful I had the surgery & used Dr Murphy. My neck pain even disappeared! I had surgery Thurs morning and was at work the next Monday.
Wonderful experience! My experience far surpassed any expectations from start to finish. The staff and Dr. Murphy are both amazingly friendly and caring. Will not hesitate to return for future services. Five stars all around!
Excited to Share my Great Experience! - Denver, CO I couldn't be happier with choosing Dr. Murphy for my breast augmentation. I started out not even being able to fit in to an A cup. Now I am a wonderful 32 C. Surgery only lasted an hour and I was up within 3 days feeling great. I did a lot of research before a choosing my doctor. I can't say anything bad. I had a wonderful experience from consultation to the end. I will forever choose Murphy plastic surgery.
36, 2 Kids, Tired of Looking Pregnant - Englewood, CO I have wanted a tummy tuck since my first child was born 10 years ago. I weighed 120 when I got pregnant, and 220 at the end of it. That kid wrecked my body. I swear, it had nothing to do with all the yummy food I shoveled in my face 24/7. I went to 3 different consultations. They all seemed like great surgeons, and I would have been happy to have any one of them perform this surgery. I chose to go with Dr. Terrance Murphy. I felt really comfortable while I was in his office, and it didn't hurt that he is also throwing in some free lipo on my hips and flanks. He wasn't the cheapest consult I had, nor the most expensive. I'm not 100% sure that I'm supposed to list the pricing information that I have from other doctors but I'm gonna do it because when I was shopping doctors, I would have liked to see what other people were priced at with more than just the surgeon they chose. So, the first Doc I saw was Dr. Hunsicker. She was great. She answered all of my questions, and I only felt slightly ashamed that a stranger was fondling my saggy belly. She made me feel completely at ease. She priced me for just the tummy tuck with no lipo at $9098. That included or, anesthesia, garment, and post-surgical numbing injections. The one thing that turned me off was that she wanted to do a urinalysis on me for nicotine once a week for 3 months because I had recently quit smoking. This wouldn't have been that bad except I would have had to pay out of pocket for each test. I am not anywhere near being made of money so I decided to see a few more Docs before making a decision. I then went and saw Dr. Squires. His staff was great, he was slightly off putting but not enough to make me completely want to write him off. He priced me at 9995. This included the tummy tuck, pain pump, anesthesia, garment, and surgical assistant. I didn't like that he does his procedures so far away, his office was like 20 minutes from my house but the surgery was going to be performed about 1 1/2 hours away. Dr. Murphy's office is very nice. I only waited about 5 minutes before being taken back. I was in 1 room for the initial talk with the Doc. Then I got naked in another room so that he could see how high he could lift my vagina using nothing more than my belly fat. Then I went into yet another room see pics of previous patients and talk about my expectations. Seemed like a lot of room hopping to me but whatever. I am totally psyched and scared -less all at the same time that I'm having this done. I've already paid for my surgery, so it is definitely happening. I'm very excited with an undertone of crap my pants nervous. This site has helped ease a lot of my concerns, and I am grateful that I found it. I am scared shitless. It just kind of hit me while I was at work today that I am paying some guy to drug me and then hack me open like some sort of really bad scary movie. Thank god pot is legal here, cause I'm probably gonna have to start smoking it just to get through the next few weeks. Maybe I'm just having a moment, that lasts all day. I'm just gonna have to keep telling myself that in the end this will all be worth it. More before pics So excited that it's getting so close! Had my preop today. They gave me a whole bunch of scripts, including one for blood thinners that I have to inject myself. Not really sure how that's gonna go, not that I'm scared of needles. I'm just not sure I can throw a needle into my own fat ass without wussing out. I won't be wearing a compression garment when I leave, and will probably only have one drain. I get my super sexy boob to ankle garment at my postop appointment. I got to pose on camera in my underwear which was funtastic....ly horrible. I'm super excited and I can't wait to be on the other side of this. I can't wait for this part to be over. The anxiety and worry that I am experiencing is probably worse than the healing will be. Thank God I've got the support of my family and friends, and lots of Valium. I've gotten all of my shopping done, scripts filled, and all the odds and ends purchased. My house is so clean I could have the surgery performed here. The wait is killing me, I just want to be done already. I really can't wait till this thing is gone! Time was going by so fast, now that I have everything ready its crawling. Tomorrow is the big day! Leaving for the surgery center here soon. Not to nervous yet, I had a valium for breakfast and that will hopefully get me to the point when the anesthesiologist gives me something better. Will post pics when I can. See ya'll on the other side! Lots of burning! Had my post op, feels a lot better after they put me in a binder. Tummy looks great so far. Not gonna lie, this sh@! hurts. I'm so glad that the anxious pre-op part is over though. I got to the surgery center at 8:15, they took me over to the procedure room at about 10:30. The Valium that I took before surgery really made it a lot easier to get up on that little bed and let them do there thing. The anesthetist slid an iv in and gave me some ativan, which made me really giggly. The nurse told me she was putting something on my feet and the anesthetist pushed something in my iv that burned really bad. That is all I remember till I woke up, and waking up sucked. I guess I woke up a little crazy and tore some stitches in one of my lipo sites so that's been leaking. I was uber nauseous, and it felt like as soon as I woke up they were putting me in the car to go home. I felt so sick on the ride home, had to jam a compazine in places nothing should be jammed in the car. It killed the sick feeling, made it home without getting sick. The first day sucked, a lot. Getting up hurt pretty bad and I was getting dizzy and lightheaded when I sat on the toilet. Yesterday was a bit better. I was only dizzy in the morning, and once I got the binder at my post-op I felt that the pain was easier to manage. The lipo site that I tore the stitches on leaked like crazy the day of, I thought I was gonna die cause so much was coming out. Kinda funny now but pretty scary when it was happening. Today I'm feeling ok, my back is so so sore when I get up to walk, and coughing sucks. I can't wait to get a better look at my new tummy, the incision is really low and my hubby said that my bb was really cute. I'll post pics after I shower on Friday. Need I say more? I got to shower today, it was exhausting and awesome. I'm really swollen right above my incision and my lady bits are very purple. Feeling a much better, more energy and I no longer feel like I've been tortured. I've been off the Vicodin all day, just taking extra strength tylenol. Not sure if that will last or not tho. 4 dpo This has not been as bad as I thought it would be, and at times its worse lol. I have a bit more energy now and have cleaned the kitchen twice with my kids help and drove myself to a few places. I do keep getting a little breathless at times which sucks, and my ass and thighs look like they could have been bit actors in fifty shades of grey. My incision looks good so far, as does my belly button. Hopefully everything continues going this smoothly. I had to go in and try to have a seroma drained today. I noticed that my belly felt like a waterbed yesterday, I could push the fluid from one side of my tummy to the other. They tried to drain it today but nothing would come out. That needle they push in there is freaky freaky! I watched the first stick and there was no pain cause my belly is still numb right down the middle. That second stick was right where I start having some feeling. It didn't hurt, but I could feel the needle whenever it was moved around. Super creepy! I tried on just about every article of clothing that I own and I've never thought I could look so good. I feel sexy in everything, and that is an amazing thing. I don't look pregnant anymore! I had my 6 week po appointment yesterday. The seroma is gone, and I'm supposed to try not wearing my CG which is easier said than done. As much as I hate wearing it, it helps so much with the muscle soreness and the stretchy feeling around my bb. I have two little spots on my incision that weren't healing, but they have started to shrink and are barely noticeable. Right before my appointment I pulled a huge piece of stitch out of one of the holes. It was so long and felt really gross coming out. I'm still swollen so I didn't see much point in putting up 6 week pics. I look just like 5 weeks. My doc said that I can start doing stuff, but I've already kind of been trying to do stuff lol so I guess I'll try doing more stuff. I'm going back to work next week, which sucks. This has kind of been like a little vacation, if vacations included abdominal beat downs instead of beaches. First bit of real exercise since surgery. Felt great to get back to it! Last night I was able to sleep with my normal amount of pillows, in my bed, with my husband for the first time in 2 months. Usually I have 6 pillows all over the bed and my husband sleeps in a small corner of the bed and I get up at 2am to sleep on the couch. It was amazing! I have never in my life had as much confidence in the way my body looks as I do now. This was absolutely the best thing I've ever done for myself. We went camping for labor day weekend and I literally spent the entire weekend in a bikini. I had one hell of a sunburn, but not once did I feel self-conscious of my body. I am now at the point where I have very little if any swelling at the end of the day. I haven't worn any sort of compression garment since my last update, and I have no pain or discomfort. I am back to the same physical condition as when I started this journey. I am hiking about 10 miles every weekend, and have started doing some easy ab work. Unfortunately my dumb ass has also recently started smoking again. Hopefully quitting will be easier this time since i haven't been smoking for very long. Overall I would tell anyone thinking about getting this procedure to find a great doctor and just do it. Nothing about this was as bad as I thought it would be. The worst part is waiting to have the procedure done.
28 Year Old Beyond Thrilled with my Breast Augmentation Six Weeks Post-op!!!! - Englewood, CO The service I have received from Dr Murphy and is staff has been top notch from the beginning. I felt completely at ease with him as my surgeon as well as his whole medical team. I really liked that his beautiful office was connected to Swedish hospital; hence more regulations than private practices, I would imagine. I felt there was such a wonderful and pragmatic energy throughout the entire expereince and I felt at ease throughout it all. The entire staff answered all my millions of questions and made me feel like a priority throughout the entirety of the surgery and recovery. I also really appreciated Dr Murphy's kindness and honesty. I felt I was given all my options and honest straight forward answers, which I highly value in a medical professional. I would recomend Dr Murphy and his entire staff to any of my friends or family. My friend had her augmentation ten years ago and she recomended him to me, but I also have several other friends who have been beyond pleased. I am a small framed woman (only 5'3) , so didn't want to go too big. I'm also very athletic and I truly am beyond happy with the results. They are symetrical and look beautiful! I feel finally in proportion and love the way I feel. I always had a complex about being flat chested, and feel so liberated to finally not have that feeling anymore, not to mention no more padded bras. I had researched this surgery for almost 8 years, before making the jump and finally making it happen. I'm so grateful I went with Murphy Plastic surgery! My experience here was nothing short of amazing and I'm so grateful I chose Murphy Plastic Surgery. I will also continue to go them for Botox and other facial treatments.
