Dr. Yamahata is truly an amazing surgeon. The entire process was very smooth and pleasant. During the consultation appointment, Dr. Yamahata was very thorough, methodical, up to date with the latest guidelines, and patient in answering all of my questions. The procedure and recovery period was very smooth; I healed easily, comfortably, and with no complications. He followed that with many post op appointments, which I thought was very thoughtful of him to ensure that everything is healing predictably. I could not be more satisfied with my decision to go with Dr. Yamahata. His entire staff is very nice, caring, professional, and always on time. I recommend him with no hesitation!

I had another informative and reassuring visit with Dr. Yamahata and his staff. I’m looking forward to my surgery with him next Friday. He is always an exceptional plastic surgery on me. And, Rosie Hernandez was a positive and enthusiastic helpful staff member over the last three weeks! Sincerely Jeanne Shipman

Yes, we are happy to offer breast augmentation revision (sometimes called “explant surgery”) to our Granite Bay patients. During this procedure, we’ll replace your existing implants with newer implants if desired.

What is the price of a tummy tuck?

Etna Interactive | Sep 25, 2021
Wayne I. Yamahata, MD | Sep 25, 2021

The cost of a tummy tuck in Granite Bay depends on the scope of your procedure, the cost of medical devices used, and fees charged by the anesthesiologist. During your consultation, we will provide you a customized quote that accurately reflects your surgery cost.

How do I know what is a good size implant for my breast augmentation?

Etna Interactive | Sep 25, 2021
Wayne I. Yamahata, MD | Sep 25, 2021

Choosing the right breast implant size depends on your natural body shape and size. We offer a variety of saline and silicone implants that come in different sizes, shapes, and feels. During your consultation, we will analyze your body structure and help you determine the most flattering breast implants for your desired look.

What is the difference between breast augmentation and a breast lift? Which is the best option for me?

Etna Interactive | Sep 25, 2021
Wayne I. Yamahata, MD | Sep 25, 2021

Breast augmentation uses breast implants to increase the size and volume of the breasts. A breast lift, on the other hand, raises the breast higher on the chest wall to boost their position. These procedures are often combined to rejuvenate the breasts. Your provider will discuss your goals and help you choose the best treatment option for your needs.

Does a tummy tuck also include liposuction?

Etna Interactive | Sep 25, 2021
Wayne I. Yamahata, MD | Sep 25, 2021

While not required, a tummy tuck is often combined with liposuction to create the most comprehensive results. Liposuction suctions out pockets of fat while tummy tuck surgery removes unwanted saggy skin. This combination sculpts the waistline and creates a smoother, toned midsection.

I have had two children. What are my options for breast augmentation?

Etna Interactive | Sep 25, 2021
Wayne I. Yamahata, MD | Sep 25, 2021

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause the breasts to lose volume and become droopy. Breast implants, when combined with a breast lift, help the breasts look larger and perkier, restoring their pre-pregnancy look.

What does a mommy makeover entail?

Etna Interactive | Sep 25, 2021
Wayne I. Yamahata, MD | Sep 25, 2021

A mommy makeover is a suite of cosmetic procedures used to lift and contour the body. It often includes a tummy tuck and liposuction to tone the midsection and breast augmentation or a breast lift to give breasts a youthful fullness and position. Your surgeon will guide you toward the best procedures for your goals.

Do you have ample successful experience performing explant and en bloc procedure?

shannon woodward | Sep 26, 2019
Wayne I. Yamahata, MD | Sep 25, 2020

Yes. The key to this procedure is performing an adequate capsulectomy and I have probably done hundreds of these over the years.
