Steven J. Bates's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Bates and his staff are top notch. You couldn't find a better clinic for your cosmetic surgical needs. They are kind, professional, and extremely efficient. Dr. Bates is a fantastic surgeon. I went to him for a breast explant and the experience was great. I was not in any pain after the surgery and recovered very well. I had an explant before and I was in pain for weeks and weeks. This time, I was up and about after two days of bed rest. He was so kind and very patient. I came in with a list of questions and he took his time answering them; I never felt rushed at all. I highly recommend Dr. Bates to anyone who needs a procedure done.

I want to extend my gratitude and appreciation to Dr. Bates and his staff for their work. My daughter had a chin implant procedure done by Dr. Bates that looks and feels absolutely natural as possible. I did a lot of research and interviewed several plastic surgeons in the Bay Area and decided to go with Dr. Bates because of his excellent credentials, kindness and knowledge. He explained the entire procedure in detail, including the appropriate chin size that would balance out my daughter’s entire face. My daughter felt comfortable with the procedure every step of the way. We are absolutely thrilled with the results! Dr. Bates and his staff thoroughly exceeded our expectations.

I got my first plastic surgery (upper blepharoplasty and epicanthoplasty) with Dr. Bates, and I am thoroughly impressed with my results. I had excess fat, skin and muscle to my eyes, which made it difficult for me to blink effortlessly. The excess puffiness also caused for weak, shallow eyelids and noticeable asymmetry. I wanted higher, symmetrical, and deeper eyelid creases while maintaining a youthful and healthy appearance, and Dr. Bates gave me the exact look that I requested and envisioned for myself. Dr. Bates listened to all of my concerns during my two consultations and pre-op and ensured that he could deliver the results I wanted, which left me feeling certain about proceeding with him. (I am currently recovering but will post before and after photos here afterwards.)The day of surgery went very well. Amazing and supportive team who guided me throughout every step of my surgery, including the days before and after. Dr. Bates and his team genuinely care to make you feel as comfortable and accommodated as possible, gave you their undivided attention, demonstrated thorough understanding about the procedure, and were quick to answer any questions I had. The surgery itself was quick and painless, and this is largely thanks to Dr. Bates and his team's skill and preparation. Dr. Bates demonstrated amazing bedside manners, and is knowledgeable, skilled, friendly, humorous, and a patients first doctor. Overall, I am so glad to have proceeded with Reveal Plastic Surgery, and I will be sure to stay in touch with everyone there. Last but not least, huge shoutout to Tammy for assisting me and my sister throughout every step and for being such a loving and supportive friend! Shoutout to Nurse Mary as well for the amazing care during and after the procedure and for being so kind, knowledgeable, and attentive!

Dr. Bates is hands down the best. He explains everything with detail and answers any questions so you feel comfortable. I would recommend anyone planning on getting a breast augmentation to go to him. I have heard nothing but good things about this Dr. Bates and the other doctors at this office. The staff and nurses are knowledgeable and super nice and my whole experience was awesome and since it was my first surgical experience and a really good one from the time I made the appointment till my last was a really good experience I was always seen right away. I never sat waiting like at some other doctors offices I’ve been to before I I discovered Dr. Bates. Did I Mention I love my results!!!! I got exactly what I wanted . I couldn’t be happier. Let them know you saw my review when you make your appointment!! You won’t be disappointed.

I could not have made a better decision than choosing Dr. Bates as my plastic surgeon. I had been wanting a BBL on and off for years, as I had wanted to transform my athletic build to more feminine. When I consulted with Dr. Bates, I knew he envisioned everything exactly what I was hoping to accomplish with this surgery. The two most important things that stood out to me was his honesty about the results he could accomplish with one BBL surgery and the fact that he was not trying to sell himself. He really showed that he cares about his patients, which is why I chose to move forward with him, rather than various other surgeons in CA. During my consultation, he was also very honest about the complications that can happen with getting a BBL, and gave plenty of pamphlets explaining everything one should know before surgery. I had already talked myself out of getting a BBL various times because I would go read the horror stories about women going to Miami or Mexico to get a less expensive procedure done, but then are faced with numerous complications, and unfortunately, sometimes death. With Dr. Bates, because he showed he cared about his patients and was being honest about everything, I felt extremely confident in him and his staff. Fast forward to two days later, I was in the OR getting a BBL by Dr. Bates! Not to brag, but I had probably one of the best recoveries post BBL surgery. The day after my surgery, I had to stop myself from moving around too much. I felt amazing, only a little sore on my abdomen, back, and butt. A better word to describe the feeling was sensitive. I felt so good, and already happy with my new body, even though I had a lot of swelling. My 1-week post-op appointment with Dr. Bates made me feel like a million dollars, because I felt amazing and was healing very well. Of course, there are so many factors that play into recovery, but I can guarantee that a plastic surgeon who performed your surgery properly plays a large role. If you are looking for a plastic surgeon, I highly recommend choosing Dr. Bates. He is not only a phenomenal surgeon, but he is also a very down to earth human being. I made the best decision for myself when choosing Dr. Bates as my plastic surgeon!

After meeting Dr. Bates for my consultaion for a breast lift and augmentation I knew he was the Dr. For me! I have a very extensive medical history with numerous difficult surgeries and Dr. Bates took the time to go through everything with me so he could plan the best approach to the surgery he would perform on me. He has the BEST bedside manner and really cares about his patients and their families. On the day of surgery I felt right at ease and woke up happy and in the least amount of pain I've EVER been in after any surgery!! The healing process and has been a breeze and I have had zero complications (something not typical for me). At each and every follow up appointment Dr. Bates has listened and addressed any questions or concernsI had and has even become my 3 year old daughter's FAVORITE Dr to with me to! If you are considering any kind of cosmetic surgery I cant recommend Dr. Bates enough! He has the skill, forethought, and bedside manner you want in a surgeon. Thank you Dr. Bates for restoring my confidence and self esteem and making this mama feel great about herself again!!

Dr Bates delivered an amazing experience from start to finish. I met with him for a complimentary consultation for breast augmentation and lift for mild tuberous breasts. The first encounter was super pleasant! His bedside manner is superb! He was clear in explaining what would give me the best outcome and answered all my (many) questions. He knew I had done my research and was very transparent about everything that could be done. I saw him a second time because I had even more questions, and he was just as kind as the first time. I had 8 other consultations, but ended up going back to Dr Bates because he gave me the best information and scenario for my particular case. Every appointment with him was this way. I got my BA/BL a week ago, and he nailed it! Even though my case was slightly complicated, his work looks fantastic and I'm thrilled with the results so far. I highly recommend him for all your PS needs. I also got Botox for my TMJ with him, and one syringe of Voluma, and I'm pleased with both! Dr Bates rocks!!!

Dr. Bates is amazing! I went to him for a second opinion of an issue with implants I already had. He answered every question and understood my sense of urgency in having them switched out. I decided to have new implants, a lift and a tummy tuck. Through the whole process, he was caring and very quick to respond when I had a concern, even late at night! The staff at the office are so friendly and after just a few visits, recognized who I am. I've been elsewhere and know first hand that Dr. Bates is just different! My husband and I are so pleased, and I am extremely happy with my results! I can't emphasize enough just how wonderful him ad his team are!!!
