Should I have to pay for the revision because my reduction is too small? (Photos)

Asked By:Terrific7225 in Ontario, ON

I had a breast reduction a year ago. I was devastated by the results and am now suffering with depression. I decided to I finally went in and spoke to my doctor. He agreed that my new size was too small for my extra large body. He suggested a fat transfer. One puffed up nipple also needs fixing. OHIP paid and I paid 4k additionally for the liposuction part of it. I signed for a vertical reduction and ended up with an anchor one. Should I have to pay for a revision? I plan on losing weight first.
