Our Team Y Plastic Surgery

Dr. Yalif

Our patients appreciate the supportive relationships our staff members build with them starting with their initial visits to Y Plastic Surgery. At our Alpharetta and Atlanta locations, you’ll see the same friendly faces and get personalized attention from each member of our team.

Dr. Yalif’s boutique practice attracts patients from throughout the metro Atlanta region who are looking for an exceptionally qualified plastic surgeon offering the personalized care that big-city practices often can’t provide. “Our team is like a small family,” says Dr. Yalif. “You will see the same faces and hear the same voices throughout your care here. We’re always available for patients, to help them both emotionally and physically.”

The Team

The staff at Y Plastic Surgery reflects Dr. Yalif’s own personable and professional approach to patient care. We want your experience to be a positive one from the first contact you have with our practice. That positive experience begins with these team members:
