Profile

I am one of only a few plastic surgeons in Minnesota to perform muscle sparing, microsurgical breast reconstruction using a patient’s own abdominal or thigh tissue (DIEP flap). Women from around the country come to CentraCare – Midsota Plastic Surgery for the procedure.

My expertise also extends to the full spectrum of cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery, including breast augmentation and reduction, as well as labiaplasty, body contouring and aesthetic facial surgery.

An astute listener and careful planner, I take the time to understand my patient’s goals, educate them on the process and deliver lasting results.

I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, and participating in outdoor recreation.

Had Botox here with Katie Holst and got amazing results. I won’t be going anywhere else. I think it was $13/unit and I needed way less than I thought I would. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had Brachioplasty here years ago (and a couple other procedures). I have never been satisfied with the results. It didn’t help at all, I am not sure what went wrong but my arms never looked better after and I have never been able to confidently wear short sleeves. I am currently seeking to find a way to pay for this again somewhere else. I with I would be contacted for a free or greatly reduced service to have them redo this procedure. This affects my daily life and cost a lot of money and a lot of years to pay off.

About a year ago I had breast surgery at Midsota and have been very dissatisfied. I have thick painful scars under both breasts. I am still unable to wear a bra due to pain. When I woke up in recovery the surgeon had left the hospital. He did call and talk to my husband but was not available to answer my questions. At my follow up appt I saw a nurse and was told that surgeons do not do follow up on their surgeries; nurse do this. I ended up being allergic to the surgical tape. It was a Friday and I called the clinic and was told there were no doctors or nurses in that day. The receptionist gave me instructions to remove tape and surgical garment . Three days later I talked to a nurse and was offered a chance to talk to the surgeon but I had lost all trust with Midsota. Five months later the scar was still oozing. I saw a new physician for aftercare. Dr. Joan Collins-Marotte

Dr Yang and his staff are amazing. He had to close up a large portion of my back after surgery and as far as scars and stitch work went, it came out great. Also whenever you have any concerns they got me in almost immediately. And the visits, even though i had a small issue with healing. The girls have a great sense of humor and i would leave laughing. Thank you to Dr Yang and his team for making my scary experience not so scary. Btw.. the other nurses and receptionists were great as well.

They fucked up my leg and didn't want to fix it. These people played with my body like a damn science experiment. Stay far away!

Had to wait although I had an appointment. No courtesy call. Waiting area cool, dry, uncomfortable af. At least have a sofa if you’re going to charge thousands for a procedure. That’s just my suggestion.

Clean, professional, and great bedside manner. Also they are quick! I appreciate their thorough conversations and quick call back times. So worth the hour...

After my tablesaw injury, these were THE EXPERTS to go to in our region. I drove an hour and a half each way, and it was 110% worth it! They really know...
