Too FAT for breast reduction? Is there a restriction on a person's BMI in order to have breast reduction done? (Photo)

Asked By:Stylin03 in Sudbury, ON

I weigh 240lbs, 5'8", 32 yr old. 40 DDD. Have been refused consultation based on BMI. Is there a restriction on a persons BMI in order to have breast reduction done? Does OHIP have a BMI rule for coverage? Severe and prolonged back pain, bra indents, rash under breasts. I do not feel obese and feel my ability to engage in physical activity will improve with a breast reduction, as i am often restricted by their size.
