Tubular breasts/asymmetrical - how can this be treated?

May 15, 2024
Asked By:bahamamama23 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

I have tubular breasts that are very asymmetrical in size and wondering if I have any chance of OHIP agreeing to cover the cost of a breast augmentation to 'correct' this deformity. I'm incredible insecure about the shape/size. I have issues finding bra's, bathing suits, clothes that will fit my underdeveloped, mishapened, uneven chest.
