I understand OHIP never covered breast augmentations before, but now that sex reassignment surgery is covered in thought it might have changed. After breastfeeding 2 children I'm now a 34 AA which I don't fit in fully. With two small kids to raise I definitely do not have the money to put out $8000. I'd like to wake up and feel like a woman again, but can't afford it.
Answer: No ohpi doesn;t cover Breast augmentation No OHIP does not cover cosmetic surgery procedures such a breast augmentation. Regards

Answer: Coverage You will have to speak with your surgeon and insurance company. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Does OHIP now cover breast implants? Thank you for your question. The short answer is no. Gender confirming breast surgery is considered a reconstructive breast surgery, not a cosmetic procedure. Breast augmentation is nearly always considered a cosmetic procedure. If you need financial assistance, you can consider CareCredit or see if there is a residency clinic near you which offers less costly procedures.Hope this helps!

Answer: Does OHIP now cover breast implants? Unfortunately not. Although breast implants can be used for reconstructive procedures like reconstruction after mastectomy and gender reassignment, implants for breast augmentation is considered cosmetic and therefore will not be covered.
