excellent master of his craft

I had a full facial rejuvenation, including a forehead lift, upper/lower bleph, cheek lift, lower face and neck lift in 2025. Dr. Yates is by far an EXCELLENT surgeon. He is very patient, gentle and kind. He is a master of his craft - extremely meticulous. There is no one I’d trust my face with other than the most skillful, talented and compassionate surgeon, Dr. Michael Yates. 10 STARS

From a very full G cup to a C cup and the relief was immediate

OK so i've beenplanning this for 6 months: Breast reduction & TT with lipo of back, flanks, and bra-fat area. This was my present to myself for my 40th b'day and its definitely the best things I've ever done for myself! I'm 4 days post-op and i would say my pain has never been above a 2 on the pain scale. The lipo feels like a bad sunburn, the breast reduction feels like NOTHING. I kid you not. I didn't believe it when I read that it wasn't painful - but it isnt! The TT feels

1 year post mommy makeover/breast reduction - got results I wanted

My mommy makeover with breast reduction went great. Love dr yates work. I was happy to get the results I wanted. He gave me the best of care and was very careful to inform me on the results I would get. No surprises. He has a great bedside manner. Very concerned and listens to what you want and gives you his best opinion whether he thinks he can give that to you. Which I loved.

Dr.Yates was very informative and helped me pick out the perfect size for my frame

Dr.Yates was very informative and helped me pick out the perfect size for my frame, knowing I wanted to go bigger but still look natural. Post surgery he has called me every day to check on me and to answer any questions I have.

So Happy with Result!

I had 371 silicone breast implants placed in 2011. I had asked for a full C cup, but initially had a D even after the swelling went down. Over the past few years I gained a little weight and probably some breast tissue and ended up with DD cups. I have a relatively small frame. I am 5'4" and 135 lbs. My boobs overpowered me and made me look even heavier than I am. I hated myself in clothes and tried to hide my chest in photos. I made the decision to have the implants explanted.

Mommy Makeover (lower body lift with contouring, breast lift with augmentation, and inner thigh lipo)

37 Years old. I have battled with my weight all my life. I had gastric sleeve surgery 2.5 years ago, and lost about 70 pounds. I feel amazing, have tons of energy, and love to run. Now it is finally time to get rid of the remnants of my former self! I cannot wait to look in the mirror and actually look like the person I feel like. I have spent countless hours pouring through the reviews and Q&A here, and learned so much! I hope to pay that forward to others seeking Information.

Thrilled with my results

I love Dr. Yates. I am so thankful for him in my life. Here is my entire story. After significant weight loss, I went to see 5 plastic surgeons, including Dr. Yates, to get quotes on plastic surgery to remove excess skin and lift/augment my fallen chest. I had heard great things from friends about Dr. Yates, but I wanted to do my due diligence and ended up interviewing other surgeons in Huntsville and Nashville. At the end, I went back to see Dr. Yates again to get additional

11/01/16 to 03/06/17 I Have Been in the "Best of Hands"

Dr. Mike Yates was my fist choice of plastic surgeons after I was initially diagnosed with breast cancer. I knew from that very moment on, from choosing a general surgeon to do the bilateral mastectomy and then insert tissue exanders, I knew exactly who I wanted for both procedures. It's been a wonderful, pleasant and happy experience with both surgeons. Dr. Yates and his staff are truly "top knotch"....they will answer any questions you have and allay any misgivings you may have

Michael Yates is Second to NONE!! ~ ~ Perfectionist & Compassionate~Huntsville, AL

Dr. Yates is a man of EXCELLENCE. His attention to detail and perfectionism is worth much more than twice the amount that he charges for his procedures. Not only are his professional skills second to none!, his integrity and compassion are off the charts. To have a physician who treats you as an individual and remembers the "little things" about you makes the whole experience like connecting with a friend. Words cannot adequately express my admiration and gratitude for this
