Question:
I live close to Canada, my insurance won't cover this surgery

I would like implants and a lift, does anyone know if it would be cheaper to go to Canada I have relatives in Toronto. If you have any names of surgeons in that area I would love your input on them.    — Lauratc (posted on May 23, 2002)

Hi Laura, I live in Canada and as far as I know you must be a resident to have the costs covered. I know that our health coverage covers a tummy tuck and a breast procedure when the time comes. As for if it is cheaper I have no idea as we are very spoiled in this country and do not have to pay for a lot of our surgery the health coverage does. I count myself very lucky everday that I live here and did not have to go through any of the problems the other members did with denials etc. I wish you a lot of luck, I would definitely ask your relatives to look into it for you and if you do come here, know that you will have the best care possible. I am having my initial surgery in Toronto on July 15/02 and I am beside myself with anticipation. Good luck and congrats on your success.
