From the reviews
Dr. Yates is a great doctor her whole staff is great. She did my breast reduction. The only thing I don't like is I feel like my breast are too small. But over all she did and amazing job.
Big Thank You to Dr. Yates I want to give a huge thank you to Dr. Yates for the amazing job she has done for me. She has given me back my confidence and helped me rediscover who I truly am through the surgery she performed. I am beyond grateful and incredibly happy with my results. Because of Dr.
I absolutely love Dr. Yates’ office! My entire experience was amazing from start to finish. Everyone on her team was warm, supportive, and professional — especially Lindsey. Dr. Yates and her staff made the whole process feel effortless.
* Update * Three years later (post breast reduction) I came in to start their weight loss program and couldn’t be happier with my results. I lost 10 pounds on my first month of Semaglutide. Not to mention their new office is incredible! I feel like a celebrity every time I go in. Thanks Dr. Yates!
Researching a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.
Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
