Gyno surgery covered by OHIP?

icecreem
Many of the surgeons I've chatted with in the GTA say that they have adopted this more advanced technology called "bodytite" or "smartlipo" which is apparently not covered by OHIP. What is the method is covered by OHIP? (I'm guessing it's the one where the surgeon makes a 2 cm incision under the areola) I heard that it's only covered if I had only the breast gland tissue excised OR an endocrine hormone imbalance. If that is true, how would I test for imbalance?
