18 year old for male breast reduction surgery? (Photo)

icecreem
I am an 18 year old who suspects they have gynecomastia. I heard that the age for surgery is 20+ so I was wondering whether I would be permitted to have surgery at my age. Ive been 5'11, weighing 200ibs with facial since I was 14. I dont smoke, drink etc. and i try to work out at least twice a week. Could get a rough estimate based on the attached pictures? I heard that removing the breast gland is covered by OHIP.
