I'm inquiring about getting a breast augmentation and small hernia repair done at the same time. Is this possible? I'm a petite 32yr healthy who breast fed. My breast are deflated and i work as a nurse so I would like to get this done together so I have enough time off to recover. Also since the hernia is covered under Ohip would this help with the cost of the BA since it is under the same sedation? Thank you.
