OK,
So I'm going to be getting a BA (hopefully in the next few months!), I am getting the cohesive gel implants of which they are running trials on in the US.
So, at first I couldn't find a doctor anywhere near me that was doing the study, so I just figured I'd go to Canada. But now I have found a great doctor (he happens to the president of one of the associations for plastic sugery..I think it's aesthetic), and he lives in Eugene, OR.
differences..
Vancouver, Canada dr (also a GREAT dr). RIght now, costs about $6100, plus hotel and driving there (about 4 -4 and half hours)
Or Eugene, OR dr.. $7000, plus hotel (which eugene is a college town, so very cheap hotels and we know the area since we've lived there before) and driving there, 2 hours....plus, I go back yearly after the first year for checkups (for 10 yrs) on the implant which is included in the price (I love the yearly checkup..feels safer), AND the implant company pays me $100-$200 each visit, so after 10 yrs I'd get reimbursed about $1200 or so.
So my delima is the dr in Canada is cheaper and very experience.
But the dr. in Eugene, I get reimbursed plus the yearly checkups that I like, but he's only done a little over 200 women (who I've heard are loving them).
What would you do?
