It would probably help if you stated Canada or USA?

You may want to contact Dr Eric Bensimon. He is located in montreal, from what I hear affordable and does quality work, and has a lot of experience with trans women. (His primary area of focus to my understanding is FFS but he also does other gender affirming surgeries very well.)

Any surgeon who performs breast implants on CIS women should be able to do the job. I suggest you ask your doctor for a referral to somebody local.

Should be able to, but I  would research doctors who are familiar with, and  friendly with, the transgender community. That's just my take, though.

I thought so, too, but I contacted 3 surgeons in my town and was rejected by one  and told to find a surgeon who handles transgender patients.  Seriously.  The other two in town did free consults for me, and I went with one of them.  I was pretty surprised, tbh.  I guess that is middle Missouri for you. ;)

She made me feel very comfortable; I hope she does for you, too. ;)
It is a 2.5 hour drive for me, so I had to stop going there and find resources closer to home.

I've heard nothing but praise for her.  It's still an hour for me but that's what I get for giving into the temptation of cheap rural real estate.

It is worth it!  I drive 42 miles to work everyday, but it's worth it when I get home:
