Steven Yearsley, MD

I’ve never been super thin, and thyroid issues and antidepressants haven’t helped. The fat doesn’t respond to diet or exercise (which I was too tired to do most of the time anyway). I even tried phentermine and metformin to control appetite but my body just adjusted and I gained all the weight back. I hit rock bottom after having my heart broken and going through severe depression for six months. And after all of that misery I decided I get one life to live. I don’t want to spend it hating myself and wishing I could change my body. I explored prices in my area for lipo and realized it was far more affordable than I had expected. Sure, it’s still in the thousands but it’s pretty much a guaranteed, permanent result as long as you are a good candidate and continue to take care of yourself and stay active afterward. I scheduled two consultations and thankfully was able to be seen very quickly with the doctor I ended up choosing (the other one is booked out until August JUST for a consult, let alone surgery). At the consult, I explained my situation and my medical history, and pointed out the areas I wanted to change over abdomen and inner thighs). My doctor suggested my flanks and lower thighs as well, in order to blend the shape better. He didn’t act like he was just adding more so I’d pay more. He explained why it would make a difference and genuinely cared about getting good results. One month later, I was off to dreamland courtesy of a very handsome anesthesiologist and woke up bandaged and sore but already able to see a difference (in my hips/flanks at least!). I’m only a couple weeks post-op but I can wholeheartedly say that it was worth it for me. I’m still in my 20’s so my skin is bouncing back really well. The swelling and bruising are just starting to go down now and I’m able to see the beginning of my body that I can finally love.

I love Dr. Yearsley. Him and his staff have been so wonderful during my surgery process from consult to recovery. My recovery has been a little more difficult than I expected due to my body not liking what I had just done to it, but Dr. Yearsley and his nurses have been wonderful. They are so good at returning phone calls, texts, and emails. Lord knows I have called and emailed a ton during this process..

05/12/2022 I had a BR and TT w/ muscle repair. Dr Yearsley was my surgeon. In the days following, he kept saying 'this is normal, everything looks good' even though there were obvious signs of infection. I developed sepsis and cellulitis. I was hospitalized for 8 days, receiving IV antibiotics through a PICC line followed by 3 weeks of outpatient infusions. It's been almost 20 months and I am still not fully recovered. I've lost track of how many hospital stays, procedures, and surgeries I've had to repair my abdomin and there is no end in sight. Please, please go to anyone but this man.
