Tubular breasts/asymmetrical - how can this be treated?

OHIP does not typically cover any cosmetic breast surgery, including for the correction of tubular breasts.

In our experience, OHIP will cover surgery for extreme (2 cup size) volume discrepancy (including augmentation and reduction), but not for problematic shape including tuberous breast. You should see a reputable surgeon to get advice on your best options, and even if surgery is not covered by OHIP you may find the cost is acceptable. Good luck!

Unfortunately, insurance will rarely if ever cover the fees associated with correction of breast asymmetry, which is very common, unless it is syndromal or very severe, such as Poland's Syndrome. Your problem or concern is not to be dismissed or ignored, but your expectations should be realistic with regard to how it might get paid for. I recommend consulting with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon whose aesthetics and reviews resonate for you, and let him or her advise you on your best treatment options. Best of luck to you.

Both tubular breasts and asymmetry and very common. Tubular breasts have a tight lower pole, herniation of breast tissue into the areola, and a decreased nipple to fold distance. Treatment generally entails the following approach: periareolar incision, sub glandular pocket placement, radially scoring of the breast parenchyma to release the constriction and allow the breast to expand over the round implant, and restoration of the nipple to fold distance by lowering the breast crease. For asymmetry you can use a larger implant in the smaller side. I'm not sure about insurance covering the procedure but we wish you all the best in your search for the right surgeon.
