I have been very aware of the unusual shape and unevenness in my breasts since I developed and I have spent many agonizing years doing everything I can to cover myself up and blend in. Even staying in bad relationships because I was too insecure and self loathing to believe I deserved better. I can now walk by a mirror and not want to cover up and cry.

I owe my new outlook on myself and my life all to Dr. Yates. He has changed me for the better inside AND out and I wouldn't hesitate to refer anyone to him. Even my mom ended up having a little face rejuvenation done the same day as my surgery because she was so impressed by him and his work. That alone speaks for itself...its just a bonus he is as caring and genuine as they come.

Just this week I went back for the Augmentation and will post pics of my results in a couple weeks!

Your new breasts look fabulous! Thank you so much for sharing your story and posting your photos! I can see why you're thrilled.

I'd love it if you'd post your breast augmentation experience in that community.

What a great thing to have done for yourself!

Thank you so much! I really am thrilled and everyone around me can see that as well.

I will definitely post in the Augmentation section once I have some pictures. Since I am so soon out of my recovery I want to wait until some of the swelling goes down and they look a little closer to end results will be before I post pictures. I am sending my 3 week pictures in a couple weeks and once I do that I will add them here as well!

I also had some liposuction and will post in that section as well once I look less swollen!

Thank you! I'm excited to see an even better improvement on my shape once my implants have dropped a little more and the swelling goes down more as well. I'm sure as you could see I had a pretty severe case of ptosis and pretty dramatically uneven in shape and fullness. After my augmentation they look pretty much perfect and about as symetrical as you can get. I am short as well (even more so at 4'11) and was worried about having my breasts done would add bulk and weight to my figure, since even a 5lb gain is incredibly noticable on me especially since I'm naturally fairly wide/stocky to begin with. So I feel a little on the large side right now, but I think once the healing is done they will be perfect! :)

Thank you! It of course isn't pictured on here yet, so they are definitely looking even better now than in these photos. I am hoping to get someone to take a picture tomorrow so I can post it!

I believe I did either (Mentor) Low or Moderate Profile (Saline) 310cc in my larger breast and 340cc in the smaller one. I will have to double check. I still had some swelling from my lift in Oct, and of course I am even more swollen, but the shape is amazing. They were just what I was looking for...not extremely round mounds on my chest, or pointing outward from my body. I'm so excited to see what they will look like when the implants settle if they look this good now! :)

Thanks for your review, I actually have a appointment scheduled with dr Yates this upcomming month so it was nice to see your recommendation. I'm a little curious as to why the augmentation wasnt done at the same time as your lift surgery. I am also interested in seeing the after photos as well.

You will LOVE him! I had seen many Drs. for consults before I had chosen Dr. Yates, and a few others had wanted to do the lift and augmentation seperately. The other Drs. never really gave me a good reason why, but Dr. Yates was the first Dr. to give me a full explaination. During my consult, he seemed a little concerned and told me I probably wasn't like what he was going to suggest. I knew what he was going to say since I had heard it before. Nut he gave me a full explaination as to why and said it was ultimately up to me. From what I understand (and this is NOT how he exactly described it, just how I understtod it) My left side as you could see had a severe case of ptosis, and you can see in the frontal pictures is slightly different shape and has much less fullness alltogether but mostly practically NO breast tissue underneath. He said that when I had developed the skin fold didn't fully release and allow to be filled with breast tissue. Because of this, there was a much smaller amount of skin that could be lifted/stretched. Also because my issue was not deflated breasts and although youth generally being a good thing, it did mean my skin was much tighter. He was concerned that if he did the operations together that the extra stretch of the implant on that side could be too much and could effect the outcome of the shape of that side. He did say that if he did try it, the way he would have to cut around my areola to accomodate the extra stretch and make sure the shape stayed natural (as well as match the other side), he was worried about the loss of some blood flow to the areola and essentially resulting in a "dead nipple".

In the end it was my decision to make, but felt I wouldn't probably be happy with my end result if I did them together. He also said that because it was more "his decision" to do them seperately and not together he would give me a discount on the Augmentation (since doing them together usually results in a lower cost).

I really believed that Dr. Yates was truly looking out for my best interests and NOT doing it to make money (as he ended up not even making much more at all anyways). He is a perfectionist in every way and I believed he could transform my breasts into what I always dreamed of having.

He is amazing and so genuine and caring. He obviously loves what he does and makes sure that everything he does is as perfect as you can get.

I definitely wouldn't ever change a thing about my decision and will fly over to see him for anything I might need in the future without hesitation.

Good Luck! I know you will love him as much as I do!

I will get pics posted as soon as I can. Holidays are crazy and work is busy, but I will SOON! :)
