Good Experience
I chose Dr. Yamahata for his experience and professionalism, and I am very happy with my results. He did an excellent job and provided thorough consultations, explaining every detail clearly and honestly. I felt well informed and confident going into surgery. The front desk team was wonderful—friendly, supportive, and always willing to help. Unfortunately, my experience with the patient coordinator was disappointing. After surgery, there was no follow-up or guidance. I had to

A Real Life Changer.
I want to sincerely thank Dr. Yamahata for the truly outstanding care and results from my breast reduction surgery. From the very first consultation, I felt heard, understood, and completely confident in his expertise. The outcome has exceeded my expectations, not just aesthetically, but in how much better I feel physically and emotionally. This has been a life-changing experience, and I’m deeply grateful for his skill, professionalism, and kindness throughout the entire process.

3 days post op - much pain has subsided I'm excited to see how things will go.
I wanted this procedure done for as long as I can remember, once I noticed all the girlies around me growing and I never really did. I've spent so long considering and researching more about this procedure. 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,

Twilight sedation breast augmentation & wanted a more natural result
My experience was great from beginning to end. I was extremely nervous to have surgery, especially one that would alter my body. 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

Currently 3 months post op and I couldn't be happier
I am currently 3 months post op from breast augmentation surgery and I couldn't be happier. My journey from the initial consultation to this day has been absolutely remarkable. 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

Life changing - I loved my experience and would do it again
I am 50 years old and have wanted a tummy tuck the last few decades but having a business and young children, it wasn't realistic. I decided this year was the year! 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

Excellent Surgeon
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.

They look more youthful than I did in my 20s
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

I am going back to hopefully get around 750 cc implants
I am going to this doctor a second time because he is the absolute best. 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.
