New tummy & thigh lift!

As I said 3 years ago I would never go to any other plastic surgeon other than Dr Yates. In October 2015 I had a tummy tuck. The results were amazing and better than I had hoped for as I had 2 previous c sections. I just had a medial thigh lift yesterday. This has been the easiest surgery by far. I have barely had any pain and only took 1/2 dose of ibuprofen after the surgery. I slept through the night and I feel like a million bucks. Who can say that after a major surgery?? I believe that Dr Yates must be very gentle with the surgery site as I barely have any pain. I was expecting to be in a a lot of pain and I am not. I plan on getting a posterior thigh lift in the near future after the medial lift is healed completely. Dr Yates is not a cookie cutter (no pun intended) surgeon. He devises a special plan for each body type and is open to suggestions and cares about his patients. I had asked for lipo of the flanks but he wouldn't do it as he didn't want me on the table that long taking into consideration my one lung status. Safety first is his number one priority. He is beyond an amazing surgeon, he is an artist and truly loves what he does and he has exceeded my expections with all three procedures. I live out of state and will always come to him in the future. His staff are the best too!!

I had been wanting to get breast implants for...

I had been wanting to get breast implants for several years but it never seemed to be quite the right time. In 2008 I had a consultation with a plastic surgeon in Colorado Springs Colorado and he quoted me $15,000 for a breast lift and breast augmentation. That was out of the question and the breast lift really scared me.Then 2009 I was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer which left me with only one lung. After fighting cancer and winning the battle I decided it was finally time to get those breasts I had always wanted. I nursed 4 children and they had lost volume and were saggy.
Dr. Yates and I initially spoke on the phone and communicated via emails and pictures he quoted me the cost $4700. I live in Colorado so we traveled to Utah to get the surgery. I was very scared and worried that it would be hard to breath with the extra weight on my chest. I can't even tell a difference!!! Dr Yates and his staff took extra special care of me before, during and after the procedure. I was done in less than an hour. I didn't go under the muscle as I needed the lift that the subglandular placement gives. And wow did it give me a lift. My breasts look amazing. Better than they did at 18!!!! I went shopping 2 hours after the procedure and only took ibuprofen for the pain which wasn't bad at all. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I plan on going back to dr Yates for any future plastic surgery. He is simply amazing. Put all your fears aside because dr Yates is the best of the best!!!!
