PATIENT EXPERIENCES

Choosing a plastic surgeon is a deeply personal decision. Hearing from patients who have already gone through that journey can provide valuable insight into the care, communication, and experience you can expect.

The testimonials below are reproduced from publicly available Google and RateMDs reviews as originally posted. Individual results and experiences may vary.

I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon or better experience than I had with Dr. Yau and her team. Dr. Yau's skill set, knowledge, attention to detail, impeccable preciseness, and how well regarded she is all played a part in why I chose her to do my more complicated surgery. She took the time to educate and prepare me thoroughly in my consults which gave me such peace of mind going into my surgery. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Yau as she truly is the best, genuinely cares about her patients and is so dedicated to doing her best and it shows. Thank you Dr. Yau for making what could have been an overwhelming experience the exact opposite.

I first met Dr. Yau back in 2017 when I was inquiring about a breast reduction after one of my best friends had an amazing experience with her. At the time, due to personal reasons, I decided not to move forward. Fast forward to early 2025, after having two children and losing weight, I knew I wanted a breast lift with a slight reduction, and without hesitation, I knew Dr. Yau was still the one I wanted to see. Seeing her again nearly 8 years later, she looked just as beautiful as I remembered, if not more! (a little side note I just have to add). Going into my consultation, I wasn't exactly sure what size I wanted; I just knew I needed a lift. Dr. Yau took the time to show me different options and listen to what I truly wanted. I told her I'd wanted smaller breasts for as long as I could remember... and she absolutely understood the assignment. From that moment on, every appointment leading up to surgery felt seamless. It was as if I wasn't the only one counting down the days, her team was just as excited and supportive as I was. And speaking of her team, I cannot put into words how essential they were in creating such an incredible experience. During a time when I honestly felt like I was going through a bit of an identity crisis, they made me feel completely cared for, heard, and supported. Recovery felt almost too good to be true. Dr. Yau's nurse, Heather was always just a text away, even on weekends late at night when I never expected a quick response, she was there. That level of care and accessibility made all the difference. THANK YOU for everything, Heather!! The entire process of getting my breasts done was nothing short of amazing, so much so that I went ahead and booked a few more procedures immediately after. I cannot recommend Dr. Yau and her team enough. They truly go above and beyond, and I'm beyond grateful for the confidence and joy they've given back to me.

Dr. Yau is an incredible plastic surgeon. I went to see her to have reconstruction due to breast cancer. The mastectomy surgeon and Dr. Yau decided the best option would be to have the mastectomy and reconstruction done at the same time. This eliminated my need for multiple surgeries. She is smart and serious in her work and she put my safety and health above all else. While patient consults are necessary to perform the surgery I could tell that her skills truly shine in the operating room as her true passion is surgery and she was absolutely meticulous in every aspect. My stitches were so tiny that right after surgery I could really see a desirable result despite needing to still have healing time. She was honest and prepared me for all aspects, even at times when I wasn't thrilled with the natural consequences of having breast cancer I really appreciated that she was upfront and in many ways almost seemed to take the stance of "under promise and over deliver". It felt like she really lowered my expectations pre surgery and made sure I understood that plastic surgery post mastectomy will never look like a simple implant surgery but in that way I was so pleasantly surprised. My reconstruction is perfect and it all really worked out. I am incredibly happy with the results. Her up front manner did help in the long run and her skills are truly incredible!!

“In Jan 2025 I was diagnosed with Breast cancer Dr. Yau did the reconstruction. Michelle her receptionist and Heather her nurse are wonderful ladies. Dr. Yau did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend Dr. Yau to anyone looking to have plastic surgery done.”

From Day 1, I felt in the utmost, best care with Dr. Yau and her two angels - Michelle & Heather. Each visit was truly uplifting going to their office with all of their positive energy and kindness. My emails or calls were always answered swiftly and professionally. I really appreciate that respect a lot. After my breast cancer treatment of 25 rounds of radiation, my breasts looked like they had belonged on two different women, and being 41 years old, I felt disconnected from my once before confidence in my skin. I'm not sure what I did in my I passed life to be blessed with being matched up with the best surgeon in Calgary, but I thank her every day when I look at myself each morning. They actually look like I'm 25! And I love them again... just more! Thank you to this beautiful team of women for all your gentle care when we are not at our best. I've never felt better. I wish you all the best.
