We do a lot of mommy makeover surgery, we love it, and do it exceptionally. Mommy makeover is extremely popular in Utah and we have been given the opportunity to have a high volume mommy makeover practice as a result. We provide exceptional results, safely and affordably. We have perfected an Early Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol and nearly half of our mommy makeover patients don't take a single narcotic pain medication. Many of our mommy makeover patients do not require drains after surgery, aiding the recovery process. Our patients love the 3D imaging we offer, allowing them a preview of results they can expect.

Breast Augmentation is our most common procedure and we love doing it. Having completed over 3000 breast augmentation procedures I have really seen it all and understand the nuance of this surgery very well. Patients have different goals and we offer a variety of implants and approaches to accomplish those goals. We offer Early Recover After Surgery (ERAS) anesthesia protocols and more than half of our breast augmentation patients need no narcotic pain medications.

Tummy Tuck is our second most common procedure and is Dr. Yates favorite procedure to perform. Most of these patients really "deserve" a tummy tuck as their abdomen has changed from childbirth or weight loss. Dr. Yates takes great pride in tightening the muscle, removing excess skin and giving them a cute belly button. With our Early Recover After Surgery protocols, many patients require little to no narcotic pain medications. We do almost all tummy tuck procedures without a general anesthesia in our certified office operating suite and enjoy a very low complication rate. A drain free option is often available as well.

Far Exceeded my Expectations

Dr. York Yates exceeded my expectations! He is truly an artist. He is so detailed in his work. As a very fit mom of 2 beautiful babies my body had taken a beating from them. I had worked so hard for 6 years in the gym to try to manage the extra skin and muscle separation from having my 2nd. I finally decided it was time to let someone else help me achieve the results that I desired. From Dr. Yates staff to Dr. Yates my experience was incredible. They deeply care about their patients, they listen, and are always willing to go the extra step to help. Dr. Yates has changed my life. I am 3 weeks post op from my mommy makeover (Muscle Repair, TT, and BA) and am in complete love with the results! They’re so beautiful. I can’t imagine how they’ll continue to look in the coming weeks, months, and year. My recovery has been a breeze! If you truly want the best results, ones that feel custom and natural to you then York Yates is the one.

Highly Recommend Dr Yates!

Dr Yates has changed my life! I got exactly what I wanted, and never felt pressure to do more or less. Dr Yates is very personable, easy to talk to and his staff is wonderful! I highly recommend his expertise to anyone and everyone looking to do major or minor surgeries.

So Far So Great

Dr Yates was amazing. After I had several fail attempts with another Plastic Surgen I went to Dr Yates and he was able to help me achieve the look I wanted on my right breast that had been badly messed up. Thank you Dr Yates I’m a week post op and I’m happy with my results so far

The entire process was so smooth

I am 3 weeks post op from my breast augmentation and I am in love with how they look! I had 4 babies in 5 years and nursed three of them for a year each. Needless to say, my boobs were not the same as they were pre pregnancy. Dr. Yates and his staff have been incredible from the first consultation and through my recovery. The entire process was so smooth. Surgery day could not have gone better. He has his own private surgical team and operating room (which is stunning btw, wow) which made it much more comfortable than having surgery in a hospital. The recovery has been great. The pain the first couple of days after surgery was really well managed with just ibuprofen and Tylenol. Dr. Yates and his staff are super quick to respond to messages and answered all my questions. I just really could not say enough good things about my experience. And the boobs are just perfection! I would recommend him to anyone!!

Breast Fat Transfer

I am only two days post-op and absolutely mind blown by the results

I had an explant last year (different provider) and was left with severe adhesions and limited breast tissue on my lower pole. I was desperate to have it fixed. Dr. Yates was able to release the adhesions and added a bit of fat (only 25-50 cc's). The fat was added 1) for volume and 2) to act as a "barrier" to keep the adhesions from re-attaching. I am only two days post-op and absolutely mind blown by the results. I couldn't be happier. I'll keep this thread updated as the swelling goes down and see how the fat retained. Hoping for the best! Dr. Yates is a lifesaver! Honest, kind, patient and realistic about expectations. 10/10. I know there are other women struggling with the same issue. I hope you find this review and reach out to Dr. Yates. There is hope!

Can’t wait to see what I will all look like in 3-6 months

Amazing experience!!! I am 3 weeks post-op from a mommy makeover which included a full tummy tuck and breast augmentation revision. Dr Yates knew I would be a very difficult case due to a couple prior breast revisions by other surgeons out of state. I also made it much harder on him due to prior liposuction scarring all over my abdomen…he accepted the challenge and worked his MAGIC!!! I am so extremely pleased with my results already. I will need another final surgery on my breasts in 3 months but, this was discussed and agreed upon with Dr Yates ahead of time. I have the cutest and sexiest belly button ever, not to mention a flat defined set of abs. Can’t wait to see what I will all look like in 3-6 months. I mainly used over the counter Tylenol for my discomfort, I can’t say that I was ever in pain, days 4 and 5 were the worst but other than that no biggie. My scars are looking beautiful. I would like to send a shout out to his anesthesiologist, I had an impeccable nap and absolutely no nausea after the surgery… which I was really worried about. I cannot say enough about Dr Yates excellent staff. Professional, knowledgeable and so willing to go out of their way for whatever I request or need. His patient advocate Lindsay is always there to answer any of my questions through their patient app- and so is Dr Yates… he ALWAyS responds to my messages I send directly to him. This makes it so nice! I did extensive research to find Dr Yates and trust him completely, only wishing I would have found him many years ago.

Still lots of healing to go but I'm already in love with the results!

I am a week out from a mommy makeover procedure with breast augmentation and full tummy tuck with muscle and hernia repair. Still lots of healing to go but I'm already in love with the results! The whole process was so easy from booking a consultation to surgery to follow up. The in-office surgery suite was wonderful and surgery day was so simple and quick. My only regret is not booking with Dr. Yates long ago!

My surgery could not have gone better!

Over the years I've had 4 breast surgeries. Without going into too much detail my experiences were not great and one that went very wrong, which obligated me to get a full explant. One year after my explant surgery I was eager to have my breasts back. I researched several surgeons across the US to make sure I went to the very best! Thankfully, after months of research a close friend of mine that received 3 surgeries from Dr. Yates, highly recommended him. My friend emphasized his incredible skill and raved about his ultra friendly staff . I'm thrilled to say I booked my appointment shortly after the recommendation. My surgery could not have gone better! His staff was so organized, friendly, prompt, caring and easy to work with. Dr. Yates was SO knowledgable and answered all my detailed questions. I felt incredibly comfortable with him. Day of surgery was so smooth and seamless. Needless to say, it was the best surgery I've ever had. The anesthesiologist was a five star! I had zero reactions or side effects. When my friend said skilled - she meant it! Not only do my breasts look SO beautiful, but I had no pain. I took a Tylenol 1 day and that's it! I was up and moving within one hour after surgery. So STOP looking any further and book your appointment. You will be so glad you did!

Repair/Replace Procedure. Dr Yates Addressed Every Concern I Had and More!

First, let me say the Dr Yates is amazing. My former surgeon (Dr Fryer, in case anyone local is trying to decide between these two surgeons) was competent, but positioned my implants quite low and left me with "crease scars) that were an inch and an inch-and-a-half above my crease. When I went in for a follow-up, Dr Fryer assured me that this was an excellent aesthetic result and, in any case, it would be impossible to change the implant/scar positioning, so that no matter what, I would always have scars up on my breasts and a double bubble on the left side. I decided to get a consult with Dr Yates, hoping he could give me better news, and not only did he do just that, but he delivered! I'm just one day post-op, but I can already tell that he addressed my concerns beautifully. Not only that, but he also made my breasts more symmetrical, which I hadn't even mentioned. If you are on the fence, please don't hesitate to see Dr Yates! He will listen to all your concerns and follow through with a beautiful result. <3 Updated on 3 Jan 2024: Dr Yates performed a repair/replace procedure and it couldn't have gone any better! My former surgeon (Dr Fryer, in case anyone in the area is trying to decide between these two surgeons) was overall competent, but had positioned my implants too low, left me with scars over an inch above my crease, and a "double bubble" on my left side. At my follow up with my former Dr, he only tried to assure me that this was an excellent aesthetic result and that, even if he went in surgically again, there would be no way to reposition everything such that my scars would line up with my crease.Dr Yates assured me that, not only could he reposition my implants, but that he could also add support mesh to help ensure that my implants won't eventually migrate down into their former pocket that Dr Yates repaired.At only one day post op, I'm already in love and can tell her pulled through with all my concerns, even making my boobs a bit more symmetrical, which I hadn't even mentioned to him as something that bothered me.If you're on the fence, please don't hesitate to go to Dr Yates! He listens, is a true artist, and perfectionist. Thank you so much, Dr Yates!
