Would OHIP cover my breast reduction (from 32DDD to 32B)? (Photo)

July 12, 2018
Asked By:sian.milne in Mississauga, ON

I am currently around a 32DDD (my breasts are quite asymmetrical) and I am looking to be closer to a 32A or 32B (photo 2). I am 5'6" and about 135lbs. Though my body is technically "proportionate" (my hip and chest measurements are within an inch of eachother), my breasts cause me discomfort while doing most activities, it is difficult to find bras and clothes that fit me correctly, and I am emotionally uncomfortable with my chest the way it is. Is it likely that OHIP would cover my reduction?
