How long before surgery after my consultation?

Not sure how it is in Canada, but here in the States most insurance companies require an advance letter from the surgeon stating the patient's symptoms, supportive documentation, and surgical plan.  If the surgeon gets the letter out soon after your consultation, you would be looking at 2-4 weeks to be approved, and probably another 2-4 weeks (if the surgeon is reasonably busy) to have the surgery, if scheduled as soon as the insurance approval comes through (and assuming you have no risk-elevating medical conditions).  Often times, the insurance companies will require documentation that you have been through at least 6 months of "conservative therapy" protocols - including chiropractor (!) involvement- which clearly adds many months to the wait.  So it is probably favorable that you are in Canada . . . Of course, you can choose to proceed "out of pocket", the advantages of which are much shorter waiting time (usually by that month wait for approval), and no need to follow insurance "requirements" as to how much tissue need be removed (ranges anywhere from 500-800gm minimum here, which usually translates to approximately 2-3 cup sizes).  So if you want to remain on the larger side, you may consider side-stepping the insurance gauntlet altogether, which here in the states can be quite daunting.  Best of luck!

Congratulations on your decision to proceed with breast reduction surgery; this operation tends to be one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform. The waiting time will  likely vary from one practice another and whether or not an insurance authorization needs to deal obtained. Best to ask this question of your chosen plastic surgeon's office directly. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

depends on many variables from when authorization is obtained to your surgeon's schedule.  In general, this takes over a month in my practice.  Best to contact your surgeon whom you consulted with to find out what they think.
