Would a visibly asymmetric nose due to an injury that happened while I was a child have potential to be covered by OHIP for its correction? I would want the procedure to be very minimalist, as I don't really want a "new nose", I just think my current nose needs a correction. I see that pricing in many places in the Toronto are about $7000, but from what I can see that there's been a significant change in most who post on here.If not for OHIP coverage, How much would it cost for a subtle approach?
