Holy **** ladies! You guys payed alot of money ! I live in Vancouver and this is why I didn't choose a surgeon in Canada, the cost is way over the top and ridiculous !! Flying to flordia to have revis do this for $6700 for a BA and BL. So worth it, especially he's someone who's so known and well experienced!

I paid $8200 in BC, but I also love the idea of being 5 minutes from my PS incase something happens. Unfortunately I had a pretty major infection which would not have been dealt with so quickly had I left the country for my BA.
I know it's about going to the best PS and I know that Revis is amazing, but would you classify your choice as a cost savings, or strictly based on his skills?

How much money do you think you're spending to travel to Florida?

I am from Alberta as well and chosed to go to Florida to see Dr Revis both because of savings and skills. My girlfriends here pay 9500. Im spending 6000 plus travel and accommodations and in the end will still pay less than that amount. I do agree it's more convenient to be able to go see your PS if a complication occurs. But with reassurance from all the ladies on here who travel to have their surgery go amazing, I am rest assured. There's always risks with everything but if I would have got it done here, the PS I would of chosed would still be 3 hours drive away anyways so regardless, I'd have to do traveling if I needed to visit the PS for any complication.

I agree ladies. I live in Saskatchewan, drove 10 hours and got my BA for $4600! Even traveling back for a second surgery I won't spend as much as I would have for one BA in Sask. or Alberta! Money was too big of an issue for me. And if I'd have paid that much AND still needed a revision, I'd have been sick! Lol. I do wish my surgeon was closer, but they are only a phone call away and have been great! Good luck whatever you decide!

Hey girls, I saw Dr Paul Whidden in Calgaru for consultation and was quoted 10g and I'm not even getting the DD I want. He has amazing reviews but definitely on the conservative natural small breasts side. If that's what youwant he's theman.
Dr. Hall-Findlay in banff quotes 8g and she too has phenomenal reputation.
Dr. Waslen in Calgary quotes almost 12g and he has good reputation but he's also known to push for bigger.
I haven't seen the latter two but I'm also considering Dr. Revis. He seems to have best of both worlds good reputation and better cost

I am going to Dr Perron in Calgary and I spend 8900$ I have 2 kids so traveling isn't an option for me as id be paying airfare for 4 people. I had called dr waslen and he quoted me 12.000-17.000. I have 2 friends who went to Perron and loved him. He doesn't push big on you and more pushes for a natural look.

I am also travelling from Alberta to Florida, for cost and skill. With travel, hotel, extra expenses... it still will come up costing less then if I were to get it done in AB.

My girlfriends went to Dr Perron as well and loved him but paid 9500. He definitely does not push big on you, nor does he let you get a big size even if that's what you wanted. They wanted a bit bigger size then what she got, but Dr Perron kept saying no and that it won't look good and she can't go that big. She now has boobie greed! However she had good things to say about the doctor, except their nurses.

forgot to mention
I forgot to mention Dr. Perron quotes over 8g and (hear this) the consultation is with his nurse, you only get to see him for your pre-OP and the surgery. uhmm, I don't know but I would NOT be comfortable picking a surgeon I haven't met.

I've heard great things about Perron, but not meeting him at the consultation made a big difference to me. I didn't get to meet my PS, talk about the lok I was going for or have any measurements. I'm sure it's done at post-op but I wanted more info before dropping that money. I've heard Widden can be more conservative but he is who I went to and I have nothing but great things to say about him and his staff. I had to ask to try on a bigger sizer but he had no issue with that and we ended up going with that size. I am a D now and imagine Ill be more of a DD when they drop and fluff which is exactly what I wanted.
