Would OHIP cover me in having a panniculectomy and inner thigh lift?

Hello, 
Thank you for your question. I am sorry to hear about your challenging situation.
Though you do not share your height and weight (BMI), it sounds you may be an excellent candidate for a gastric sleeve prior to panniculectomy. As you know, obesity puts you at risk for many diseases and conditions, including increased risk of complications during and after surgery such as a panniculectomy. 
Reaching a healthy BMI prior to undergoing a panniculectomy would optimize your health overall and increase the liklihood of a positive outcome with a panniculectomy. 
While I do not know the specifics of what is covered by OHIP, in general, insurance tends to cover obesity surgery for patients with a BMI > 40 or BMI > 35, with obesity-related diseases. Panniculectomy is often covered when the pannus reaches the level of the pubis. I have rarely seen thigh lift covered by insurance. 
Consultation with a bariatric (obesity) surgeon will give you a better understanding of how surgery can help you reach your health goals and what is covered by your insurance plan.
 Best wishes,
Dr. Moein

Dear bpitt,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD
