At Emory Facial Center, Dr. Yellin and his colleagues take great pride in providing Joint Commission-accredited facial plastic surgery care in a state-of-the-art environment. They consider the most gratifying aspect of that care helping people feel good about themselves. Below are some thoughts and comments from a few of Dr. Yellin’s patients to help you understand the positive impact that facial plastic surgery can have on confidence and self-esteem.

“In 2004, I contracted a resistant staph infection that resulted in the collapse of my nasal sidewall and caused severe septal deviation. Not only did my physical appearance alter but so did my mental health. I became very depressed due to my loss of work and inability to function as I did before.

On February 1, 2006, Dr. Yellin performed major reconstructive surgery on my nose. Three months later, the results are nothing short of remarkable. Not only has my outward appearance changed completely but I am more self-confident and have been able to return to normal life.

I can never express what a difference Dr. Seth Yellin has made in my life and my family’s. Thanks for a second chance!” - M.O., nasal reconstruction

"Dr. Yellin combined his impeccable surgical skills with an artist's true sense of aesthetics and correct facial proportion to produce an effect that is both subtle and powerful, exceeding my original expectations. Close friends who are unaware that I've had the surgery comment on how good I look without really knowing why they think so.” - B.T., face and neck lift

"Many people have stopped me, noting my new look. Some have asked if I lost weight, others have asked if I got new glasses. Leave it to my hairdresser to really know! He took a long look and said this was the best work he had ever seen and my profile was outstanding. He was amazed that four weeks post op I looked so natural. He now has your card. Thank you." - V.P., face and neck lift, chin implant

"I feel better/fresher and more youthful when I look in the mirror each morning. I enjoy being 58 and feeling so good about myself." - P.C., face and neck lift, upper eyelid surgery

"Now I look like I feel and the compliments just keep coming! How fortunate I am to have selected the right artist." - J.S., face and neck lift, upper eyelid surgery, cosmetic laser resurfacing

"Some mornings I wake up and look in the mirror and actually look better than I feel." - W.M., upper eyelid surgery, cosmetic laser resurfacing

"The plastic surgery that Dr. Seth Yellin performed on my face has given me a renewed sense of confidence and self-esteem." - D.S.E., face and neck lift, upper and lower eyelid surgery, cosmetic laser resurfacing

"Seth’s surgical skills have taken years off my looks, and for that I'm very pleased and happy." - L.P., face and neck lift, upper and lower eyelid surgery, cosmetic laser resurfacing

"They said I looked great, that I glowed.” As for the blotches, “they're gone.” - T.H., Intense Pulsed Light Therapy

"After I had my brain tumor removed, my face was paralyzed. I didn’t want to leave my house because of the way I looked. I felt that people stared at my face, and I was a constantly reminded of my tumor. I am very grateful to the surgeons who saved my life, but Dr Yellin, after the surgery you performed on my face, you gave me a life worth living. Thank you.” - D.D., facial paralysis reconstruction

"I wanted to tell you how happy I am with my deviated septum and structural nasal surgery. My nose looks fantastic and I can breathe so much better. Great job." - J.E., functional septoplasty

"Thank you for your excellent service and care of me during my facelift.  Your team is the ultimate. Their attention to my questions and needs, friendliness, encouragement and professionalism complete an astonishing package. Medicine is a noble profession and your staff exemplifies all that is noble and good. Please thank each one for me." - J.F.B., facelift and cosmetic laser resurfacing

"Thank you for giving me the nose that I've always wanted. It looks so natural and nothing like a nose that's been 'done.' Your entire staff was very friendly, professional and accommodating (thanks Tina!). Most importantly, your confidence gave me a great deal of comfort about the surgery and healing process. You clearly had a gentle touch because I was able to stop taking the pain killers one day after the surgery! I also appreciate your returning my calls on a weekend and seeing me the same day a friend accidentally hit me in the nose.” - A.G., cosmetic rhinoplasty
