Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Essie Kueberuwa Yates
Sourced directly from Dr. Essie Kueberuwa Yates's social posts and replies.
What are Dr. Yates's preferences and reasons for breast implants?
Dr. Yates's practice utilizes Mentor brand breast implants. For breast augmentation, she tends to recommend the Smooth Silicone Implant because they are soft in feel, give very minimal rippling in appearance, result in a natural breast look, can be easily moved within the bra for natural cleavage, and have low rupture rates, making them very safe devices.
What is the typical recovery process and expectations after tummy tuck surgery?
After tummy tuck surgery, all patients are required to wear a compression garment for a minimum of six weeks. Manual lymphatic drainage massages, in addition to the garment, help reduce swelling more quickly. Every patient receives a surgical drain, typically one per side, though very small or petite patients may receive a single drain. These drain tubes remain in place until they meet specific criteria, usually one to two weeks after surgery. Patients also need to massage their surgical scar, with the practice recommending silicone-based products or silicone sheets to help the scar settle and fade. The tummy tuck scar typically looks its best about six months after surgery, and patients should be patient for their final results.
What are common experiences or potential side effects with Botox, and how are they managed?
Dr. Yates shares her personal experience with 'baby Botox' in her t-zone, which she did not like, and experienced a temporary, random eyebrow asymmetry. She notes that an asymmetric brow from Botox can happen, is hard to avoid, but is very easy to fix. She also believes that for individuals around 27, Botox maintenance can be beneficial.
What should patients consider when choosing an injector for treatments like Botox or fillers?
Dr. Yates emphasizes that patients should know their injector, seeking board-certified professionals, preferably plastic surgeons, who have undergone extensive training and possess the expertise to deliver safe and effective treatments. It's crucial to find an injector who understands your aesthetic goals.
What is an internal bra and when is it used?
An internal bra is a term for soft tissue reinforcement, involving mesh placed inside the breast to reinforce it, help a breast lift have longevity, and maintain the shape achieved during surgery. It can be performed even without implants, particularly for patients prone to skin stretching or recurrent laxity in a breast lift.
What are some characteristics of breast implants?
A more narrow base width implant is typically a higher profile device.
What is Dr. Yates's philosophy on dermal fillers and potential risks of over-filling?
Dr. Yates believes that overdoing filler does not make you look younger; it can actually age you, leading to an 'overdone' appearance. Excessive hyaluronic acid fillers (like Voluma, Juvederm, Restylane) in areas like the cheeks or nasolabial folds can accentuate the lid-to-cheek junction, giving a sunken or indented impression. The key to good filler outcomes is choosing a provider who knows when not to inject, as sometimes the best thing a provider can do is refuse to inject. The good news is that excessive hyaluronic acid filler can be broken down, and Dr. Yates would recommend this approach if a patient is overfilled.

What areas of care does Dr. Essie Kueberuwa Yates cater to?
Dr. Yates specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery, focusing on procedures of the face, breast, and body. This includes procedures like breast reduction, breast reconstruction, facelifts, and neck lifts. Believes some physical insecurities cannot be resolved solely through exercise and a healthy lifestyle. Views breast augmentation as an important surgery for many women, boosting confidence, esteem, and providing their desired silhouette. Favors a conservative approach to breast augmentation, recommending narrower base width implants and slightly smaller volumes (e.g., a full C or small D cup for petite frames) for natural results.
