Throwing in a breast augmentation and not just the lift cost me an extra $3,000.

The quote I received this month for mastopexy (breast lift) AND augmentation is $10,265.00 That quote includes HST.
I am in Ottawa.

The price we have to pay in Canada is absolutely absurd!
My daughter had a tummy tuck done in Alberta, paid for by heath care, but they would only do the front...to do an extended tummy tuck, they wanted an additional $10,000!!!
I had a tummy tuck, breast augmentation with implants, butt lift and lipo done in Mexico for the same price!
Remember that OHIP doesn't cover a tummy tuck, just a removal of the panni. Most people upgrade to a full tummy tuck depending on their needs.
I would post this in the Ontario forum as well as I know many people have had plastic surgery and have combination surgeries.
I don't know the price but I would think the medical costs (hospital stay, anesthesiologist, garments, nurse, etc) would already be covered so you'd only have to pay for the time of the surgeon. My surgeon charged $3000 an hour.
