York Jay Yates, MD

I am 1 month post op from a drainless tummy tuck with lipo, an anchor lift with implants, and fat grafting to my hip dips. I researched these procedures for years, probably looked at a thousand before/afters, and familiarized myself with the healing process and possible complications. With all my research, I was fully expecting to be super swollen (particularly with the tummy tuck) and to have thick, scabbed incisions that would take a long time to smooth out and heal. I also expected to be in severe pain during the first few weeks. I am happy to say that I experienced none of those things, and I fully attribute that to Dr. Yates’ drainless tummy tuck technique and beautiful work. The first time I took off my compression garment and bra, I literally started bawling because I could not believe how incredible I already looked. My stomach was completely flat, my waist was snatched, and my incisions were neatly covered in neatly glued down steri-strips. When I took the steri strips off at 3wpo, I was astonished to see how smooth and thin my scars were. I anticipate that they are going to heal beautifully with the use of the silicone gel he provided. Dr Yates also provided me with several medications for the week after surgery that helped me so much. I didn’t even take the narcotic for more than a day or two because I didn’t need it. I had gabapentin for nerve pain, celebrex for inflammation, and Valium for muscle spasms. I also had an antibiotic to prevent infection. His sweet care coordinator Lindsay also provided me with a nausea patch the day of surgery when I told her how worried I was about throwing up. My breast lift scars are healing so well and have already lightened quite a bit. I got 340cc motiva Demi round implants UTM. They are settling beautifully and I already love them. I had significant asymmetry before and Dr. Yates was able to correct it during the lift. All in all, I’m very happy that I had Dr. Yates do my surgery. It’s been completely life changing for me. It’s been 10 years since I’ve been able to look in the mirror and love what I see. Sometimes I still can’t even believe that this is my body; it feels so surreal. Looking forward to a new, more confident chapter in my life.

I had a breast implant removal and replacement done by Dr. Yates. He went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. He truly gave me better results than I had hoped for. Dr. Yates is truly a perfectionist. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He took the time to listen to me and understand what I wanted and he really did give me better results than I thought I could have. The ladies on his staff are so kind and caring. They made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole process. I had heard of Dr. Yates through word of mouth and he lived up to his amazing reputation. I am so happy I chose him and trusted him as he truly gave me exactly what I wanted and better results than I hoped for. I am already so thrilled with my results at just three weeks post-op. My recovery process was so smooth with zero issues. I had very minimal pain or discomfort. I was able to reach Dr. Yates and his staff at any time and they responded promptly to answer any questions I had. A friend of mine had the same procedure done with Dr. Yates and we both agree that he really is the best! I would recommend Dr. Yates to anyone and will definitely go see him for any future needs I have.

Dr. Yates and his staff are amazing! I’m an out of state patient and they made the experience incredibly smooth and easy. And most of all- I’m so happy with my results! He achieved my goals and my results are exactly what I wanted. Start to finish, it couldn’t have been a better experience!

From start to finish Dr.Yates and his staff have been incredible! I am 2 days post op mommy makeover and because of Dr.Yates amazing talent and care I have not needed a single narcotic. I have had very minimal pain and swelling is manageable. Hands down if you want the best Dr. Yates is the one!

Dr. York Yates exceeded my expectations! He is truly an artist. He is so detailed in his work. As a very fit mom of 2 beautiful babies my body had taken a beating from them. I had worked so hard for 6 years in the gym to try to manage the extra skin and muscle separation from having my 2nd. I finally decided it was time to let someone else help me achieve the results that I desired. From Dr. Yates staff to Dr. Yates my experience was incredible. They deeply care about their patients, they listen, and are always willing to go the extra step to help. Dr. Yates has changed my life. I am 3 weeks post op from my mommy makeover (Muscle Repair, TT, and BA) and am in complete love with the results! They’re so beautiful. I can’t imagine how they’ll continue to look in the coming weeks, months, and year. My recovery has been a breeze! If you truly want the best results, ones that feel custom and natural to you then York Yates is the one.

Dr Yates has changed my life! I got exactly what I wanted, and never felt pressure to do more or less. Dr Yates is very personable, easy to talk to and his staff is wonderful! I highly recommend his expertise to anyone and everyone looking to do major or minor surgeries.

Dr Yates was amazing. After I had several fail attempts with another Plastic Surgen I went to Dr Yates and he was able to help me achieve the look I wanted on my right breast that had been badly messed up. Thank you Dr Yates I’m a week post op and I’m happy with my results so far

I am 3 weeks post op from my breast augmentation and I am in love with how they look! I had 4 babies in 5 years and nursed three of them for a year each. Needless to say, my boobs were not the same as they were pre pregnancy. Dr. Yates and his staff have been incredible from the first consultation and through my recovery. The entire process was so smooth. Surgery day could not have gone better. He has his own private surgical team and operating room (which is stunning btw, wow) which made it much more comfortable than having surgery in a hospital. The recovery has been great. The pain the first couple of days after surgery was really well managed with just ibuprofen and Tylenol. Dr. Yates and his staff are super quick to respond to messages and answered all my questions. I just really could not say enough good things about my experience. And the boobs are just perfection! I would recommend him to anyone!!

I had an explant last year (different provider) and was left with severe adhesions and limited breast tissue on my lower pole. I was desperate to have it fixed. Dr. Yates was able to release the adhesions and added a bit of fat (only 25-50 cc's). The fat was added 1) for volume and 2) to act as a "barrier" to keep the adhesions from re-attaching. I am only two days post-op and absolutely mind blown by the results. I couldn't be happier. I'll keep this thread updated as the swelling goes down and see how the fat retained. Hoping for the best! Dr. Yates is a lifesaver! Honest, kind, patient and realistic about expectations. 10/10. I know there are other women struggling with the same issue. I hope you find this review and reach out to Dr. Yates. There is hope!

Amazing experience!!! I am 3 weeks post-op from a mommy makeover which included a full tummy tuck and breast augmentation revision. Dr Yates knew I would be a very difficult case due to a couple prior breast revisions by other surgeons out of state. I also made it much harder on him due to prior liposuction scarring all over my abdomen…he accepted the challenge and worked his MAGIC!!! I am so extremely pleased with my results already. I will need another final surgery on my breasts in 3 months but, this was discussed and agreed upon with Dr Yates ahead of time. I have the cutest and sexiest belly button ever, not to mention a flat defined set of abs. Can’t wait to see what I will all look like in 3-6 months. I mainly used over the counter Tylenol for my discomfort, I can’t say that I was ever in pain, days 4 and 5 were the worst but other than that no biggie. My scars are looking beautiful. I would like to send a shout out to his anesthesiologist, I had an impeccable nap and absolutely no nausea after the surgery… which I was really worried about. I cannot say enough about Dr Yates excellent staff. Professional, knowledgeable and so willing to go out of their way for whatever I request or need. His patient advocate Lindsay is always there to answer any of my questions through their patient app- and so is Dr Yates… he ALWAyS responds to my messages I send directly to him. This makes it so nice! I did extensive research to find Dr Yates and trust him completely, only wishing I would have found him many years ago.
