Kayla,

$6000 is a reasonable figure. I would be very suspicious of a place that is really cheap. Is it a real accredited surgical facility? Is the surgeon a real plastic surgeon or some other doctor (if a doctor at all) who claims to be a plastic surgeon????

In US you want to make sure that the surgeon is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and that he is board certified by American Board of Plastic Surgery. In Canada you want to see Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons certification in Plastic Surgery.

There are many other "Boards" and "Societies" that are fake and patients don't understand that. So many family doctors or general surgeons are members of "american society of Aesthetic surgery" or "cosmetic surgery" or "laser surgery" or some other inventions. These are societies that require a membership fee and nothing else. People join them (buy a membership and a wall plaque) to give themselves reputability because they lack real credentials
