What Dr. Yamahata's Patients Say

'Phenomenal' 

"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."

'Life Changing'

"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."

Tips for Choosing a Plastic Surgeon

You have plenty of options when it comes to choosing a plastic surgeon in Sacramento. Use these tips to narrow your choices:  

Make sure your surgeon is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), the only aesthetic surgery board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Certification requires years of plastic surgery training, rigorous testing, and periodic recertification.

Check certification

View before-and-after photos

Seeing the results of the procedure you're considering helps determine whether your cosmetic goals align with the surgeon's. Photos also help you set realistic expectations for what the procedure can accomplish.

Don't let geography limit your search

The best plastic surgeon for you may not be within your neighborhood. Patients from Roseville, Folsom, Citrus Heights, and beyond see Dr. Yamahata at his Sacramento or Granite Bay locations.

Learn about where the surgeon performs surgery

If the surgeon has an on-site surgical center, as Dr. Yamahata does, ensure it is accredited by Quad A. Quad A is the gold standard for accreditation and means the OR meets the highest safety standards in the industry.

Read patient reviews on independent websites

Hearing what other patients say about their experiences and results will give you valuable insight into what to expect. Helpful review sites include RealSelf, Yelp, and RealPatientRatings.

Schedule a consultation

Establishing an honest, trusting relationship with your surgeon is key to your plastic surgery journey. You should feel comfortable sharing your concerns and discussing your options at your consultation.
