I will be making an appointment to come in and talk with you about going the traditional route. FYI this is what I found on the PA, these are the initials behind his name MPAS, PA-C and also he says this about himself, "I am board certified in general surgery and primary care medicine by the NCCPA." I guess it is misleading to the average person. Thanks again and I can't wait to come in and talk with you about my options. Thank you.

FYI there is no such thing as a board certified surgeon PA. You may get a great result with either or a bad result from either. In my opinion, the skill, experience and artistry that a board certified plastic surgeon brings to the table tips the odds in favor of a great result. I wish you the best of luck.

I am contemplating getting some sort of lipo done. I am in my early 30s, have two kids (done having kids) and would consider myself of average size. I am 5'6" weighing in at around 135lbs. I have lost all the excess weight I gained during pregnancy, but have been left with sizable fat pockets, on my abs, lower back (love handles) and inner/outer thighs. I went to a consultation with one of those "numerous billboard" companies that offer Smartlipo. It didn't take long for them to sell me on it. He said I am an ideal candidate. (I am sure they tell everyone that.) But I know that I am not overweight and just want to get rid of the fat pockets. I have read a lot of reviews online about Smartlipo and it seems that there is more negative than positive. I have a feeling that more people write about the bad than the good, so I am sure there are people out there who have had great results. On the advise of my mom, I started looking at Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in the area. Looking online and then reading your website and blog, I have determined that there are not any plastic surgeons that offer both Smartlipo and traditional lipo in Northern Utah. So that leaves me to compare the Smartlipo procedure to traditional lipo. The biggest drawback to me with traditional lipo is the costs. You say that Laser lipo is more expensive. But I have found that going the Smartlipo route is quite a bit less expensive that going with traditional (costs to me). I am at a standstill, do I pay more and get the traditional lipo, with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or do I go with the cheaper Smartlipo with a Board Certified Surgeon PA? I think I will continue to research both and go to some consults with Board Certified Plastic Surgeons to see what they have to say about my body and what would work best for me. In closing as David Bays says in his comment on your post, "I will be more than happy to come back in anytime to do a few more cases if Dr. Yates is so inclined." So Dr. Yates if you are ever inclined to have David Bays bring back his laser lipo machine for you to demo on more patients, I would like to offer myself up to your guinea pig!
