Dr. Yates in her element. She always reminds the team that every patient is someone’s mother, sister, daughter, and/or grandmother and to treat them as we’d treat our own family. It is palpable when you’re in the operating room with her. The focus. The fidelity. The effort. She sets the tone.

A face & neck lift restores contour, proportion, and softness.

2 things patients often overlook in a face & neck lift:

1. Neck > Jawline
Most people focus on the jawline, but true rejuvenation comes from addressing deeper neck structures (not just skin). Platysma support and contour under the chin are what create a natural, elegant profile.

2. Direction > Tightness
A youthful result depends on where tissue is repositioned, not how tight it’s pulled. Correct vectors preserve facial symmetry and avoid the overdone look patients fear.

Every detail matters, especially the ones you don’t readily notice

Dr. Yates was invited back home to University of Chicago to speak to the Department of Plastic and reconstructive Surgery about private practice and her journey building the Yates Institute of Plastic Surgery. This is a non traditional path for most UofC plastic surgeons who are heavily trained in one of the most difficult surgical techniques (microsurgery), but do not often see or experience the cosmetic aspects of the specialty. Special thanks to Program Director for extending the honor.

What is happening halfway through your breast reduction?

Dr. Yates is deciding how high each breast sits on your chest so one side doesn’t heal higher or lower than the other.

Tissue is reshaped so both breasts have the same curve and fullness, not just the same volume.

Ni***es are aligned so they sit centered and level when you’re upright, not just lying flat on the table.

Small differences in your natural anatomy are corrected here. Millimeters make the difference.

Skin and internal support are adjusted so one side doesn’t heal tighter, flatter, or heavier later.

So many of our ladies do SO MUCH for EVERYONE ELSE! Mother, wife, friend, colleague… the work is never done. As we start this New Year we send love to all of our patients from Dr Yates and the team. 2026 is the year for putting yourself FIRST. This beautiful patient had delivered 3 children and did an abdominoplasty and implant exchange and lift. She is starting the year looking and feeling her best!

The holidays are the perfect time for rest and relaxation, but we are days before the biggest goal setting day/month of the year. So, if you’re thinking about your breast goals, here’s some inspiration.

Our beautiful patient is now a 32D up from a 32B made possible by the artistry of Dr. Yates and Mentor’s Memory Gel High Profile implant.
