From the reviews

Dr Yates is incredible! I have been a breast cancer survivor since 2019 and lived 3 years with a sad reconstruction after my double mastectomy. Now, all has changed for me. I searched for a surgeon with care for the women in this community. Dr Yates is empathetic and gifted.

★★★★★ — Rachel, May 2022

* Update * Three years later 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!

★★★★★ — Simone, Nov 2023

I had a great experience getting a BA here. The staff are so kind and courteous. They care for your well-being and are responsive to your concerns. Dr. Yates is very knowledgeable and walks you through everything step by step. My nurse, Taylor, did a phenomenal job in all things pre and post op!

★★★★★ — Emily, Jan 2022

Dr Yates and her staff are wonderful people. My Wife had a double masectomy in March and Dr. Yates handled the reconstruction. Dr. Yates and her staff made me and most importantly my Wife Maria feel comfortable from Pre-op appointments, to the surgery and the post op/ follow up appointments.

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.
