How can I get my reconstruction revision covered by OHIP?

August 23, 2024

I had breast cancer in 2020, so no immediate reconstruction. I then had my first reconstructive surgery March 25 2022. I still have two different size breast and a large indent where the cancer was removed from. I want to move on with my life but it seems to be a 2 year wait for most surgeons. How can I get it covered from Ohip and speed up the process? Can elective surgeries be covered with a requisition from my original surgeon? I am already on a waiting list but any seem to get a call back.
