AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Post-Pregnancy Procedures
••
Pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding take a toll on women's bodies. Many moms dedicate themselves to diet and exercise regimens to regain their pre-pregnancy shapes and succeed in many ways. They are healthy and fit, yet they often get frustrated because they can't shed stretched abdomen skin or tighten stretched abdominal muscles and their breasts remain saggy and, in many cases, smaller than before they had children.
If this sounds something like you, it could be time to consider a Mommy Makeover. As a Northern California plastic surgeon, I specialize in both breast and body contouring procedures. A Mommy Makeover combines multiple surgeries such as a breast lift (sometimes with augmentation) with a tummy tuck and, if needed, liposuction.

Breast Surgery
••
When I perform breast enhancement surgery, there is no such thing as a standard procedure. My approach to each surgery is as unique and exceptional as the patient herself. My single goal is to help you have beautiful breasts as defined by you. I offer the following breast enhancement options, customized to each patient:
Breast augmentation (increases breast fullness with saline or silicone implants),
Breast lift (reshapes the breasts to restore a more youthful look),
Breast reduction (decreases breast size for physical and emotional relief),
Breast augmentation revision (corrects implant-related complications due to surgical error or a patient's preference).

Abdominoplasty
••
Many people, especially moms who have had one or more pregnancies, are unhappy with the way their abdominal area looks. Pregnancy and weight changes often cause the tummy to bulge and the skin to become stretched out and wrinkled. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I understand that confidence and satisfaction with life are often influenced by the way you feel about your body. I perform abdominoplasty, often called a tummy tuck, in Sacramento and Granite Bay, CA, to help your abdominal area look fit and firm once again.

Between all the doctors I looked up from Northern California to some even down south, I loved Dr. Yamahata's work the most.
The process was so smooth from consultation, pre-op appointments, surgery day, and my post-op appointment.
Right off the bat, you can tell how knowledgeable,

I did over a years worth of research and looked over hundreds of photos and reviews and found Dr. Yamahata’s results to be the best. I scheduled my consultation and booked my surgery. The entire staff was so helpful and answered all our question's and calmed my nerves. I wanted a more natural result and brought photos of my expectations to Dr. Yamahata

During the initial consultation Dr. Yamahata gave me an honest and expert evaluation of what I can expect from the surgery, all of my options, and answered all of my questions. This was my first plastic surgery experience so I had a lot of questions.
After the consultation, Didi helped me with the payment

I researched Dr. Yamahata's reviews, had a consult, and booked the appointment. My surgery has healed great, I am so happy with the results. I used to avoid events or get mad at myself when I had to dress nice and feel pretty. Now I look forward to shopping! From booking the appointment, the care from the nurses, and

Dr. Yamahata has been my cosmetic surgeon for many years. He does beautiful work! He is also easy to talk with, he explains the surgery and post op information well, plus answers all my questions thoroughly. His staff is also friendly and helpful, plus the appointment scheduling and payment process is easy. I highly recommend Dr. Wayne Yamahata.
I couldn’t be happier with the results from my breast augmentation from Dr. Yamahata. I came in post having my 2 kids and losing some weight. Growing up I was a 36D or DD, but after breastfeeding much of the breast density was gone. I knew I wanted a lift to help with the sagging and rippling at the top of my chest. I went to a few Drs. but felt confident after meeting with Dr. Yamahata that he would prioritize the natural look I was going for. I opted for a mastopexy with

It’s been 6 years since I got my implants (550 ccs) they are perfect actually, but since I was so small chested the first time I got my implants, I wasn’t able to get the size I wanted. Since it’s been a few years and I’m afraid he’ll retire, I am going back to hopefully get around 750 cc implants, he is going to try his best, so next week after I wake up, I’ll know what size he was able to do. You cannot
