Macleod Trail Plastic Surgery

I had a laser treatment done with Marlee the Medical Aesthetician today, and just want to say what a great service I received today 10/10, she made me feel comfortable when I was nervous about the procedure, she explained everything clearly so that I know what to expect, and recommended wonderful skincare products that will work with my skin. Will definitely be back for more treatments with her. Highly recommend Marlee!!!

I had an abdominal last y in April 2023.Dr Humphries put all my concerns to rest, was very approachable and took time to answer any questions. His staff were all excellent ,would answer all questions I had anytime and gave me reassurance following surgery. The anaesthetist was wonderful and I had full confidence in him,I had no fears going into surgery. The follow up after care was excellent,I was seen promptly. I have nothing but good things to say about Dr Humphries,his staff and the surgical site.

Dr. Whidden is very professional and to the point. He listened to my concerns and wants for my breast augmentation, and I could not be more pleased with the outcome. His staff are great and the facility is top-tier. Highly recommend

Dr. Whidden and his staff treated me like an absolute QUEEN from the beginning to the end of this journey. Words cannot describe how happy I am with the results. Dr. Whiddens attentiveness to detail is impeccable. He really listens to what your goals are. He takes the time to educate you on what is realistic and will suit you best ! My chest wall caves in, more so on the right side. Making my right breast appear smaller. In Dr. Whiddens meticulous nature, he put a slightly bigger implant in the right breast (345cc) to make them symmetrical. (Left breast is 310cc) I never thought in my wildest dreams they could look this good! His skill is legendary… a true artist at work. The morning of surgery I was extremely nervous! Nurse Heather greeted me at the door and really supported me. She made me feel as comfortable and relaxed as I could be. She’s the BEST. Trista is also amazing. She is the sweetest person. Always promptly replying to any questions or concerns. I would definitely recommend Macleod Trail Plastic Surgery to any of my loved ones. You are cared for above and beyond here.

Dr Whidden and all his staff are so amazing and I highly recommen. Their facility is great and I felt that I was in great care throughout the entire process. I chose Dr Whidden for his flawless belly buttons and natural looking breast augmentations and he definitely did not disappoint! My new belly button is perfection and my breasts turned out to be the perfect size for me… big enough but not too big. For the breasts I ended up with high profile 415 ccs. My natural breasts were very saggy from breastfeeding and I was unsure if I would need a lift as well. Dr Whidden was super informative and layed out all the facts without being pushy either way.

For many years I’ve considered a breast augmentation. After a year or two of research and saving up funds, I looked in to a few doctors in Calgary. Dr. Whidden was someone I decided to meet with due to the staff I spoke with over the phone, the information provided in his website and social media and by reading several reviews. I booked a consultation six months in advance and asked to be put on a cancellation list. I’m happy to report that after 4-6 weeks I was Called for a cancellation consultation to be booked the following week. I was greeted by nursing staff and administrative staff and everyone was very helpful and friendly. Repeated emails and instructions assisted in me arriving prepared for the appointment. The nurse explained the entire process to me including pre-op, surgery, products and recovery. The nurse took some before photos and my partner was able to attend the consult with me to ask any questions he may have. Following my in depth conversation with the nurse dr Whidden arrived and took several measurements. He explained his method of BA and his approach to cohesive silicone gel implants, under the muscle. Dr. Whidden explained the risks and had excellent bedside manner. He explained the sizing options and stated what would happen if he went too big and the risks. I felt every question or concern I had was dealt with. I then met with the scheduling/ finance person and she explained the payment process and booking. As BA’s don’t take too long To perform, I was able to schedule a surgical date approximately 9 weeks away. December 1st!! Surgery must be paid for one month in advance and all medications are discussed with a pharmacy close to the surgical centre that delivers them directly to you prior to surgery at the surgical centre. Updated on 9 Dec 2021: Surgery went well and I must admit the first two days were awful. Lots of pain and pressure and just no ability to do anything. I was very lucky to have a supportive partner who could assist with everything. By day five I am able to walk around a bit more and have more mobility. Still a bit of a tight feeling in my chest but there was never any pain near incisions. Most of my discomfort is by my armpits and the sides of my chest.

I am currently 2 weeks post op and the swelling has gone down tremendously. There is still a lot of time until they relax and "drop and fluff" but so far, I love my *new* breasts so much! What can I say... My recovery was miraculous!! I honestly did not anticipate my recovery to be as smooth as it was. I did not feel much pain aside from feeling pressure and slight (tolerable) discomfort around my chest.. for obvious reasons. I was able to get away with just taking Tylenol extra strength during the day, and just one tablet of the prescribed pain killer in the evening right before bed. I still kept an appetite, I was NOT bed ridden(I expected to be), and I honestly went on my day as thought I didn't have surgery! I was still active on social media and even went to the mall. My friends were shocked that I just had surgery a few days before haha.. I did have help from a family member so I did take it easy by restricting shoulder movements for 3 days, I didn't wash any dishes or do any chores, and honestly by the 3rd day, I was totally ready to lift my arms up without any discomfort whatsoever. I truly believe that this was because of Dr. Whidden's decades of experience, skills and technique! Upon doing my research on all the surgeons in Calgary, Alberta (and the surrounding areas around Calgary); Dr. Whidden's BA work stood out to me the most. The outcome of his patients breasts were beautiful!! I knew I wanted breasts just like that (or as close to that, as I understand that everyone's body is uniquely different). Even before setting up a consultation with Dr. Whidden, in my head, I believed he would be my surgeon. I have contemplated BA since I was in high school but the timing was never right.. and now I understand why that was! I was meant to move to Calgary (which I did last year) and find Dr. Whidden!! From start to finish, from my first interaction with Trista (she is the sweetest and most pleasant, ever!) to the nurses, anesthesiologist, Dr. Whidden, and front staff!! I can't rave enough. Everyone was so kind and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. I truly appreciate everyone and everything that was done for me, from the bottom of my heart. I have so many friends and family members that will be going to see them for their BA in the near future, because of my amazing experience. I would recommend Dr. Whidden and Macleod Trail Plastic Surgery over and over again!! I look forward to my upcoming post op appointments with their office and cannot wait until my implants settle in! Thank you again, Dr. Whidden. You are amazing at your craft!!

Hi everyone. :) Thought i'd do a review because it helped me a lot in my decisions. I hope this helps someone else. I saw Dr. Whidden in Calgary for my surgery. He's very confident and soft spoken at the same time. His positive feedback and experience is mainly what made me chose him. All of his staff are very profesional and the nurses are very kind. I was so scared to go in, but as soon as i went in i was capmed by the good energy this clinic holds. Anyway, the goodies! I've only just got them done today so ive not 'dropped and fluffed' yet ofcourse. But i am already so happy. I look proportionate and more womanly and its just what i wanted. They are round Allergen soft touch, under muscle. :) Pain is very minimal so far, mind you im on strong pain killers so id hope it wasnt bad haha! Just mostly a bit tight across my chest and i really cant do much by myself right now. Updated on 15 Jan 2021: I tried not taking some of those pain killers because they were making me soo tired and wobbly lol. I ended up feeling quite swore so ive started them again. Feeling pretty limited in what im comfortable doing, my husband has been helping me a lot. Oh and im soo bloated as you can see in the pictures. All in all its not as bad as i thought it would be, and im still very happy with my result, excited to see them drop and fluff! Updated on 17 Jan 2021: Still tightness especially in tge sides of my breasts under my armpits. But im not in nearly as much discomfort/pain as i was on day 2 or 3. I can see them starting to settle now, they are still high but starting to look a bit more round. Im so happy with them. They fit my body very well so far! Updated on 27 Jan 2021: 2 weeks since my surgery. I took the tapes off the incisions today and am happy with how they are looking. I was nervous to see them, but they really arent that bad. I have been getting acne on my breasts, i asked other women about this and apparently lots get this. Idk if its down to the meds or what. Someone suggested witch hazel so im going to try some of that, why not. The swelling is starting to go especually around my sternum and im really not in any pain anymore which is awesome. Theyve dropped a little bit but they are still quite high and definately firm as youd expect. Updated on 1 Feb 2021: I always loved finding reviews with squish vids! They were so helpful so thought i would share mine too. If it uploads! Up until now, about 2.5 weeks, they literally did not move, they went no where and felt like rocks. So its exciting that they are starting to squish a little now. Updated on 15 Feb 2021: Feeling great and so impressed with the progress. No complaints. Still have jot felt ready to return to work but my job is physical and i dont want to mess anything up. Ive been using silicone strips and silicone gel on my incisions, and that stuff works DO WELL. i cant believe how good they look for only a month out. It helps that my surgeon did nice cuts as well. Very pleased. They are surprisingly realistic to touch, they feel id say "youthfully firm" which i think is a good thing. I know they will soften more as time goes as well. Updated on 2 Mar 2021: Here is a before and after (7 weeks after) i did. So so pleased. I feel no pain anymore, the look and feel surprisingly natural, my scars are completely smooth and not really noticeable at all. I probably wont update again until 6 months post op. Hope this has helped another lady or two out. Updated on 7 Apr 2021: Not too much to say really, they are looking really good from the front view but id say looking from a side view that they are not fully settled yet (hopefully lol) because they still look slightly rounded or buldgy at the top. They are still firm. My hustbad doesnt think they look or feel fake so thats great, i can still tell though. I know it can take a year for everything to be complete. Updated on 7 Apr 2021: I wasnt going to do updates until 6months but i had a couple requests for another update so here it is! Some other things i didnt mention before: I have physical work and sometimes my chest will get a twinge of pain here and there while working, and at the end of the day sometimes my muscles can feel a little swore, like any other muscle may feel after a hard days work. My chest muscles get a little more tired than they did before now though. I think its mostly still adjusting to working hard with implants. Honestly though its not very bothersome at all. I never come home super swore chested, my legs get more achy than my chest still, by far. I usually wear a sports bra every day because its comfy. If im getting dresses up id maybe do a pushup bra. I dont wear bras to bed 90% of the time anymore, i have always slept naked so im insistant that i still do that, i like to feel free in bed lol. No problems sleeping either, i sleep on my sides and back, always have. I can lay on my stomach but i never liked to anyway so i dont. But letting the stomach sleepers know you would likely be fine to continue doing that(once healed). Ok thats all i got haha, i will respond to any questions on here or privately. Best of luck Updated on 29 Apr 2021: Just a quick update for pictures, and hopefully a video. Had other videos up but they got removed and no one told me why so hopefully i dont do it wrong again. They DO NOT move like real breasts as you can see, but they do move and they are squishy and nice. Updated on 6 Jun 2021: A quick couple of pictures as I'm nearing month 5! As you can see I gave them a little bedazzle and I just love them. The soften has not changed anymore yet and I think they still need to drop more, ugh it takes so long!! But I still am loving it. If anyone has input on how long yours finally finished settling do tell so I don't feel as bad about it please!! There is still a lot of volume on top and not too much fullness on the bottom. Maybe it's just my build and it won't change, I don't know. Updated on 13 Jan 2022: Today marks 1 year post. I tried to get some pictures up but it says they're too big, hopefully the video works anyway. Everything is good, as you can see the scars are nearly invisible now. I spoke to Dr. Whidden about the amount of volume on top vs the little amount beneath my nipples. It's due to my anatomy that they are like this, quite rounded on top(which is apparently what a lot of women are after but I guess I hoped for a more natural boob sag look) he suggested 2 things to help: wait longer and see if the implants sink down in the pocket more, or exchange implants with one's that are maybe 75cc smaller to eliminate the roundness on the top of my breasts. I'm going to try to wait it out, I seem to like them a little more as time goes by anyway. So that's it, I still recommend Dr. Whidden, very professional, good to talk to and he explains things well. Good luck and I hope my review helps others as many reviews on here helped me :) Updated on 13 Jan 2022: Oh hey, I got the pictures to work! Yay! Just need to edit them to make them smaller I guess. So as you can see i have the side profile that shows the roundness on the top that i was considering an exchange for. But there is still a chance the tissue under my nipples will stretch over time, and the impland will fill out more underneath and less above. I probably won't add anything else to this review now, but feel free to ask me anything via pm on here!

I am 40 years old, have 3 children (5,7,13) that I breastfeed. My weight have been fairly stable around 150 lbs. My breast size is 34 D/DD. I have always wanted smaller breasts. I have struggled to find workout bras that support me enough when I run. My bras dug into my shoulders. Dr. Whidden is very professionally and compassionate. His staff are all excellent. The procedure was very straightforward. I arrived at 7:15am and was ready to home at 1:15. He removed 100 cc of tissue from right breast and 60 cc from the left. The recovery has been uneventful, and I am on Tylenol for the pain just 2 days post op. I can’t wait to see the end result! But very happy so far. Updated on 2 Nov 2020: Bruising is now turning yellow. I had a small blister under a corner of the steri-strip. Seeing Dr Whidden tomorrow for a follow up. I am off all pain medications and feeling way better. The first three days I was very tired. Updated on 6 Jan 2021: Everything had gone very well. My 6 week post-op appointment was cancelled due to covid but I have had no issues. I’m back to my full workouts with no problems. I’ve been wearing silicone strips around the nipple and vertical scars. There is still some slight swelling around my nipples. Very happy so far!

Dr Humphreys has always had great bed side manner, a comfortable approach and confident demeanour to him. This gives his patients the trust they need to have for someone who’s going to be doing reconstructive work on them. I’ve been his patient since 2009 and he’s done my 2 breast augmentations. With every surgery and pre/post op appointment he’s been extremely kind, relaxed and caring.
