After 10 Years of Saving and Searching, I Found the Perfect Teammate: Why Dr. Yamin is my MVP
Before & After Surgery 1
Surgery 2 Results
Post-op Surgery 2
Let me give some context because this has been a journey 10 years in the making.
36 | W | F |
Post-op gastric bypass (2011).
Heaviest weight: 340lbs
Weight Lost: 150lbs
Areas of Concern: Excess skin around torso, belly and arms. Grade 3 breast ptosis.
Most Important Goal: Preserving breast volume without implants and maintaining body proportions.
Number of Doctor Consultations Since 2012: A total of 10 different doctor consultations over the last 10 years, one of which I moved forward with but ended up cancelling my surgery 3 days before my procedure (I PROMISE, I’LL EXPLAIN)
Initial Consultation with Dr. Yamin: May 5th, 2022
“Photo-Ready-By” Goal: June 27th, 2022
Method of Discovery: Searching for surgeons who were proficient in fat grafting to the breast.
Ok, here’s the deal. I’m a self-made woman who has worked full time and supported herself since graduating college. I did not make my decision flippantly; I would spend hours researching procedures, scour “Before & After” galleries, calculate financing payments etc. This was a HUGE deal to me and I was unwilling to compromise on my goals, even if it meant seeking out more than one consultation. Do not compromise!! Know your body, stay realistic, and do not settle for a doctor you don’t trust or a doctor who’s cheap but has questionable results. This is not a joke- this is your body and you only have so much skin and tissue to work with. “Buy nice or buy twice” as the saying goes. Sorry for the rant, I’m just very passionate about pursuing plastic surgery and finding the right doctor, because it matters. I know for a fact that if I had gone with any of the 9 doctors I saw before Dr Yamin, I would have compromised and never known the pure happiness his surgeries have gifted me.
Dr. Yamin is a kind, attentive, DEDICATED, enthusiastic, realistic, approachable, skilled surgeon. I feel so incredibly blessed to have him as my surgeon because his results were better than I could have EVER DREAMED. He gave me a body I didn’t know I could even have and is one of the very few doctors I found with proficiency in fat grafting to the breasts, my number one determining factor when searching for doctors.
I’m so delighted to report that despite my very realistic expectations, Dr. Yamin was able to do a breast lift with fat grafting WITHOUT an anchor scar. I was completely floored when I examined myself for the first time in the mirror, it was the first time I saw my nipples just above the middle of the glad and not facing down. Even as a teenager, my breasts were never full or round. Instead of swelling and lifting like baking a cupcake, I developed like a water balloon, getting heavier and lower as they filled. But now I have breasts that still feel and look too good to be true.
For my second procedure, Dr Yamin was able to my abdominalplasty and brachioplasty in the same surgery, something I didn’t think possible and therefor didn’t inquire about. It was at one of my follow up appointments that Dr Yamin asked- with a hint of impatient eagerness that warmed my heart- “why don’t you let me do your arms?” almost like I was withholding them from him lol. The generosity and level of investment he shows towards his patients make him such an exceptional medical professional. I would often feel intimidated or disconnected with the doctors I saw in consultations, but that has never once been the case with Dr. yamin, even with the most basic and routine procedures like a tummy tucks. He never made me feel like he was bored or rushed me. He listened to my concerns and made sure to preserve my dynamic hip-to-waist ratio(thanks to genetics and maintaining my 140lbs of weight lost), carving and defining my shape without paying a heavy price in scar tissue.
Another fact to note: I have genuinely adored the personnel Dr. Yamin works with. He surrounds himself with people who align with his vision, values and enthusiasm creating an exceptionally dynamic and caring team. From his coordinators to his colleagues, I have utterly adored my experience with all of them.
In closing, I was not your typical patient with generous partners or a no-limit credit card. I was a very apprehensive but focused woman in the later half of her 30’s who was ready to look as good as she felt and just wanted to find the right surgical partner who would be willing to take the journey with her. I hoped for the best and prepared for the worst, but it’s been my experience that I received the greatest from Dr. Yamin. Thank you so much for changing my whole life, Dr. Y and team.
