Gorman Louie, MD, FRCSC

It has taken me 15 years to build up the courage to get my breast reduction. I suffer from severe anxiety especially medical. I have done quite a bit of research and dr. Louie was very highly spoken of. I had my consult with him on October of 2022. I was told at the time it would be a year or more of a wait. I didn't mind, as I knew I wanted him to be my surgeon the moment I met him. Kind, caring, and listens to what you want. Fast forward to September of 2023, I received my phone call. My date was set, February 15th 2024. I am now at 2 weeks post op. My recovery is going great! I followed all pre and post op instructions (this is very important in your healing). I am healing incredibly well. I was worried about the T-junction, as I have seen so many with them opening. I know I am not in the clear yet. I just have to say how beautiful my scars healing. I don't have feeling in my left nipple, but that can happen and expected to return in months/years to come. Some lose all feeling (but that is a risk of this surgery as well). I have to also mention his team. The nurses have been fantastic, but his anesthesiologist was top notch. He calmed me like you wouldn't believe. And I was extremely anxious walking into the operating room. He Really had taken my mind off of the fact I was about to get my surgery. Very kind and funny! If you decide to get the surgery, do it and be sure to make Dr. Louie your surgeon. His work on me was flawless. Highly recommend him. Thank you Dr. Louie for giving me something I've always wanted, smaller breasts, my confidence back , and instant back /neck relief. They look and feel great. I was a DDD/E, I am now a D cup! The instant relief of back and neck pain was gone in the second day. Soooo happy!

The bilateral breast reduction was covered by health care. Side fat on breast was extra (only if you want it) this was not included in health coverage. Costed me $5700 (lipo). Total cost of roughly $11,000.

After years of discomfort, I spoke to my GP about having a reduction. I was originally referred to a different surgeon in Camrose in June 2019. I hadn’t heard anything by August 2020, so I called my GP’s referral office and informed them that I had exceeded the wait time of the consultation. They were able to get me in for a consultation with Dr. Louie instead on November 2020. He originally told me that the wait time would be a year and a half, but I was called to fill a cancellation and thus was able to have my surgery August 2021. I requested that Dr. Louie make my breasts as small as possible out of personal preference. I still think I would like to have gone smaller, but I’m happy with how they look overall and most importantly I am infinitely more comfortable than I was before. I have not used any scar cream but the scarring is still minimal. It’s been six months since my surgery and sensation has barely returned in my left nipple which is a little disappointing but not entirely unexpected.

Unfortunately i don't feel comfortable posting photos, i'm almost 3 months post OP!

But i can't recommend Dr Louie enough!!! his bed side manner is incredible, he gave me the exact look i wanted! he warned me about scaring and how bad it would be! i'm so pleased to say my scars are barely noticeable (im 22, and i have olive skin) and i haven't started using any type of scar treatment yet! I was a DDD/E and now i'm about a big D cup! he didn't want to take too much as he didn't want to make me look disproportionate! i'm not sure why he doesn't have more reviews on here!

My experience was awesome!! This is the best plastic surgeon I could have possibly went to my results are amazing I had an extended tummy tuck with lipo of the back plus contoured my breasts Dr. G Louie is not only the best plastic surgeon but is also the kindest and very caring and loving for his patients thank you Dr. G Louie

These are my before pictures before I had a Tummy Tuck and liposuction. I believe my plastic surgeon did amazing work . The results are extreme. It is totally worth it. It is the best thing that I could have possibly done.

Hello fellow RealSelf beauties!

I didn't mean to wait so long to post but it seems like my surgery date just crept up on me. It's been a crazy journey but its finally here. So many emotions but I have been waiting for this for 2 years.

Ever since I hit puberty in the 7th grade I have had a large chest. It was like they magically overnight grew into a D cup. Until about 6 years ago it wasn't too bad. Then it was like I hit puberty again and had another growth spurt. I haven't actually been sized but the way I spill out of a DDD I'm guessing I would probably be the next size up.

Now that i worked up enough nerve for my initial post, I will write more and post before pics tomorrow. It's way past my bed time :(

Well my surgery didnt happen as planned. :(

I was originally scheduled for May 9th at University Hospital. Literally 30 mins before I was to call for my surgery time, I got a call from th Dr's office saying my surgery had been cancelled due to the OR needing to be used for a more urgent case. Completely understandable but still disappointing. I had been waiting so long for this that the news made me sick to my stomach and put me in a really somber mood.

Fast forward one week to today and we have a new date at a new location with no chance of cancellation. :) May 17th it will finally happen!! I had called the Dr's office the following day and they were able to fit me in at the Meadowlark Plastic Surgery Clinic.

So this is round 2 of the nerves and anxiousness setting in. I'm 2 days pre-op. Panicking again that I dont have everything I will need. Worried about the recovery process but still confident I am making the right decision. Can't wait for the relief!

Well its 3:28am, my surgery is scheduled for 9am and I cannot sleep. So many thoughts running through my head...did I get everything I need? Am I making the right decision? What if I wake up during surgery? What's the healing process going to be like? When will I be able to get back to work? What if something goes wrong? Will I be able to do things for myself? Luckily I will have my mom, sister and adorable 6 year old niece to help me.

I feel like my stomach is in my throat.

I've been procrastinating with posting pics but since I can't sleep I will add them now. The pics dont do them any justice. I have broad shoulders so it may not look like much to some people.

Well...finally feeling a bit sleepy. Gonna close my eyes for 4 hours then it's off to have tissue removed to give me relief.

So the time has come for surgery. I'm sitting here shaking in my hospital gown. LITERALLY....it is COLD in here. Surgery was scheduled for 9am and it's 9:10am and the Dr hasn't even been in to do my markings yet. Timeliness does NOT seem to be Dr Louie's forte. He was also late for my consultation.

I am hungry, thirsty and tired from lack of sleep. Emotions are all over the place. Part of me wants to throw my clothes back on and run for the hills but the sane part of me knows this is best. I think I heard someone washing their hands might be the Dr....gotta go! I'll try to update later if I'm not too out of it.

See you on the other side....Happy smaller boobies day to me!!!

My journey started in December 2017 somewhere between Christmas and new year. My family Dr. called around and managed to get me an appointment with Dr. Louie on or around January 08, 2018. I was informed of the procedure, the care after surgery, the benefits and the risks, and also that the waiting period before the procedure might be 4-6 months. I was asked if I am open to short notice in case there is a cancellation and said yes, and boy, there was a cancellation and I was notified about 4 or 5 days prior to my surgery on January 31, 2018. My drains were removed the next day and the Dr. said I could take a shower then, but I was lazy and I took it 2 days after the drains removal.

Down 140lbs and could not be happier with my surgery so far. My belly button doesn’t look centered but my surgeon says it will line up over time. Even if it doesn’t I’ll trade that for what I’ve lived with without question ????. Dr Louie in Edmonton has been incredible. Honest and straightforward with no hand holding but still caring. Much my appreciated!

Amazing doctor! Highly recommend him :) Great Bedside Manner, Very Punctual. Answered all my questions and provided me with the knowledge and support I needed during recovery. Thank you so much doctor!

I had my first Breast augmentation with Dr Louie Dec 18 2014 and he is great, and straight to the point. As other reviews had said, he doesn't hold your hand throughout telling you it'll be okay, which I don't mind at all. I'm looking for a surgeon not a friend. After healing from my surgery I noticed one breast was a little off, not thinking it was too big of a deal I went in for a checkup. He immediately examined it and wanted to fix it free of charge. I'm really happy that HE wanted to fix it, not just saying "well we could fix it, but we don't HAVE to." He knew I was a little concerned and is doing as much as he can to improve everything. I have my revision surgery Dec 03 2015 and I'm excited to see him again. He is a very knowledgeable doctor and makes sure his work always looks the best it can!

Dr louie is an amazing surgeon. Very quiet soft spoken. I only had one consult with him and felt comfortable knowing he knew what I wanted. Day of surgery he was a little late finishing his first surgery, but I didn't care about waiting , this just means he doesn't rush. The surgical suite is so comforting and as someone with sever anxiety I didn't feel anxious or nervous at all. 11 days post op now and everything is perfect. He picked the best size and shape for my body during the surgery itself. If your looking for a surgeon who will coddle you, dr Louie isn't for you. Of your looking for someone with precision, experience and technique he is the man for the job.
