After having two children, I felt I needed to do something and considered a few surgeons for a breast augmentation procedure. From the initial consultation to long after the procedure, Dr. Yamin and his staff always provided the best service. I'm beyond thrilled with the results that he was able to deliver. I felt he was reasonably priced and Im beyond thrilled with how things turned out.
It's hard to put into words how phenomenal this doctor is. If I could give him 10 stars, I would. I found Dr Yamin in a very unusual way. I had been referred to another doctor in his practice to treat a wound that I had sustained a couple of weeks earlier while traveling out of the country. When I arrived at the office for my initial appointment, the other doctor had been called out of the office for an emergency and Dr. Yamin was covering my appointment. From the initial visit, I found him to be authentic, caring, and meticulous. I saw him over the course of the next 12 weeks, and he ultimately performed scar revision surgery on my wound. During this time, I asked him if he did neck lifts and he said sure and that after we were done with my current situation, he would have a consultation with me. No rushing, no pressure, nothing. So low key and modest - rare qualities for a doctor, particularly a surgeon. Btw, I had been wanting do have a neck lift for at least 10 years but kept putting it off. Meeting and being treated by Dr. Yamin was the reason I decided to move forward with this. At the initial consultation, he told me exactly what I needed, what the risks were, what the benefits would be, and he laid out the plan for me with confidence and perfection. The week before the surgery we met again, and he went into more detail and took the time with me to answer all of my questions and addressed anything that I was unsure or nervous about. He is so genuine and competent. Just a real person with such a good heart. And the hands of an artist! He never off loaded me to a PA (no disrespect meant to PA's, btw, just saying this guy cares and takes the time - he's a rarity!). Anyway, I had the surgery 10 days ago and I am BLOWN AWAY with the results and I'm literally not even healed yet. I know I've gone on and on but I just can't say enough good things about Dr. Yamin. I'll sum it up with by saying he is as highly skilled a plastic surgeon as one could ever expect to find, an artisan, a perfectionist, warm, nurturing, caring, funny, human, authentic, approachable, and real. I love this guy. If you are thinking of having any plastic surgical procedures, RUN, don't walk to this doctor! Also, huge shout out to his office staff - Allison - you ROCK - I LOVE you, Jackie - you are AMAZING and skilled and so CARING, and Marcy, you are delightful, and your kind nature pours through the staff at that office!!! Thank you all!
Dr. Yamin is the best! No matter what I was looking to do he was very honest and upfront with me! He was very sincere, caring, and knowledgeable and after doing consults with several doctors - I selected Dr. Yamin and I am so happy I did! My results are incredible and BETTER/MORE than what I even expected! He had incredible after care and always made sure I was happy. Dr. Yamin LISTENS to you and what YOU want. Every other dr wanted to give me their advice or change what I wanted to do..But Dr. Yamin gave honest feedback for my expectations and allowed me to truly explain what I wanted and he was able to make it all happen for me! I will never go to another Dr. for any plastic surgery again! Dr. Yamin is truly an incredible surgeon! I’m so happy someone referred me to him or I would have never even found him - so I’m writing this is hopes that someone else can experience such an amazing Dr! if you’re not sure just book a consult and you will see for yourself!
Let me give some context because this has been a journey 10 years in the making. 36 | W | F | Post-op gastric bypass (2011). Heaviest weight: 340lbs Weight Lost: 150lbs Areas of Concern: Excess skin around torso, belly and arms. Grade 3 breast ptosis. Most Important Goal: Preserving breast volume without implants and maintaining body proportions. Number of Doctor Consultations Since 2012: A total of 10 different doctor consultations over the last 10 years, one of which I moved forward with but ended up cancelling my surgery 3 days before my procedure (I PROMISE, I’LL EXPLAIN) Initial Consultation with Dr. Yamin: May 5th, 2022 “Photo-Ready-By” Goal: June 27th, 2022 Method of Discovery: Searching for surgeons who were proficient in fat grafting to the breast. Ok, here’s the deal. I’m a self-made woman who has worked full time and supported herself since graduating college. I did not make my decision flippantly; I would spend hours researching procedures, scour “Before & After” galleries, calculate financing payments etc. This was a HUGE deal to me and I was unwilling to compromise on my goals, even if it meant seeking out more than one consultation. Do not compromise!! Know your body, stay realistic, and do not settle for a doctor you don’t trust or a doctor who’s cheap but has questionable results. This is not a joke- this is your body and you only have so much skin and tissue to work with. “Buy nice or buy twice” as the saying goes. Sorry for the rant, I’m just very passionate about pursuing plastic surgery and finding the right doctor, because it matters. I know for a fact that if I had gone with any of the 9 doctors I saw before Dr Yamin, I would have compromised and never known the pure happiness his surgeries have gifted me. Dr. Yamin is a kind, attentive, DEDICATED, enthusiastic, realistic, approachable, skilled surgeon. I feel so incredibly blessed to have him as my surgeon because his results were better than I could have EVER DREAMED. He gave me a body I didn’t know I could even have and is one of the very few doctors I found with proficiency in fat grafting to the breasts, my number one determining factor when searching for doctors. I’m so delighted to report that despite my very realistic expectations, Dr. Yamin was able to do a breast lift with fat grafting WITHOUT an anchor scar. I was completely floored when I examined myself for the first time in the mirror, it was the first time I saw my nipples just above the middle of the glad and not facing down. Even as a teenager, my breasts were never full or round. Instead of swelling and lifting like baking a cupcake, I developed like a water balloon, getting heavier and lower as they filled. But now I have breasts that still feel and look too good to be true. For my second procedure, Dr Yamin was able to my abdominalplasty and brachioplasty in the same surgery, something I didn’t think possible and therefor didn’t inquire about. It was at one of my follow up appointments that Dr Yamin asked- with a hint of impatient eagerness that warmed my heart- “why don’t you let me do your arms?” almost like I was withholding them from him lol. The generosity and level of investment he shows towards his patients make him such an exceptional medical professional. I would often feel intimidated or disconnected with the doctors I saw in consultations, but that has never once been the case with Dr. yamin, even with the most basic and routine procedures like a tummy tucks. He never made me feel like he was bored or rushed me. He listened to my concerns and made sure to preserve my dynamic hip-to-waist ratio(thanks to genetics and maintaining my 140lbs of weight lost), carving and defining my shape without paying a heavy price in scar tissue. Another fact to note: I have genuinely adored the personnel Dr. Yamin works with. He surrounds himself with people who align with his vision, values and enthusiasm creating an exceptionally dynamic and caring team. From his coordinators to his colleagues, I have utterly adored my experience with all of them. In closing, I was not your typical patient with generous partners or a no-limit credit card. I was a very apprehensive but focused woman in the later half of her 30’s who was ready to look as good as she felt and just wanted to find the right surgical partner who would be willing to take the journey with her. I hoped for the best and prepared for the worst, but it’s been my experience that I received the greatest from Dr. Yamin. Thank you so much for changing my whole life, Dr. Y and team.
Amazing experience. Very professional and genuinely great person. He fixed everything I wanted done. My breast looks amazing. 4 months now. Great job. Thank you for always checking up on me. The best care doctor.
AMAZING! He made my journey to looking and feeling beautiful very easy and comfortable. I was very nervous for my 1st plastic surgery procedure but he went through with all the steps and made me feel confident about my decision. He’s a very caring and attentive doctor he will make sure everything goes smoothly before and after the surgery. I couldn’t ask for a better doctor thank you so much Dr. Yamin. I am very happy with my results and I’m planning more surgeries with you in the future.
Dr. Yamin is an amazing plastic surgeon! I was blown away by his compassionate and professional care. I have lost a significant amount of weight and had many concerns coming into my consultation about scars, recovery, loose skin etc. Dr. Yamin addressed all of my concerns and always spent the time needed during appointments and check-ins to address my concerns and made sure I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. I would highly recommend Dr. Yamin as a plastic surgeon! He changed my life and I am in love with my results!!!
I got a breast reduction with Dr.Yamin and it was the best decision I made, he’s a very knowledgeable doctor. He is attentive and genuinely cares for you. He answered every question and made me feel at ease before and after surgery. During the consultation he made me feel comfortable as someone who has never had surgery before i was not nervous going into surgery just based on the fact how comfortable I felt and trusted Dr. Yamin. He thoroughly explained what he was going to do, I showed him a wish pic and he exceeded my expectations. I cannot express how genuinely happy I am with my results.
Dr. Yamin is the most genuine, amazing surgeon I’ve talked to! He really listened and addressed all my concerns! I had a rhinoplasty + neck liposuction. He gave me a new confidence and I love my side profile so much. He gave me the perfect nose that compliments my face. My recovery was THE EASIEST AND SMOOTHEST. I was truly shocked but Dr. Yamin has the best technique that made it so seamless. I had 0 pain and barely any bruising. I’m so grateful to have him be my rhinoplasty surgeon. Dr. Yamin has great bedside manner while being personable!
Dr. Yamin is a star himself. My consultation with him went so smooth. I’m so hyped and ready to get my procedure done with him. He is knowledgeable, positive funny and got a very straight forward attitude which blew me away. I’ve had a previous procedure done elsewhere and my result was not as successful which put me in a depression. I had to do my research this time around to make sure I find the right Dr to fix the mess another made. I’ve had consultations with other doctors through out the last few years but never felt that comfort and the peace of mind that I received with Dr. Yamin. The staff was great and the whole experience overall was one of the best. Thanks to Carlie as well :) 6/7/22 Update! I had my procedure today. I am so happy!!!! Recovering is going well. Dr Yamin prescribed supplements to take before and after surgery. He prepares the body so you can have a smooth surgery and recovery. One of my friends did the same procedure as I did on the same block with a different Doc and didn’t provide anything to her. I was a little panicky about the anesthesia but there is Nothing to worry about. I have major anxiety and panic attacks. I made sure everyone at the office knew this lol and they handled it like a Champ!!! I’ve been home for the last 9hrs and I am feeling great. Walking round the house as suggested with minimal pain. Consider yourself lucky if you do your procedure with Dr Yamin! 6/12/2022 5 days post op! I’m walking around doing some light house chores, light laundry and dancing to loud music in the house. Pain level so low I have not even taken a Tylenol. Everyday gets easier and easier.
