I'm 32AA(A?), is there some way to convince them to cover my breast implants? I think its more emotionally scarring to have no boobs at all than 2 cups difference lol
Answer: Does OHIP cover breast implants? OHIP will only cover breast implants for reconstruction of congenital breast defects, such as asymmetry, or for secondary defects as seen with cancer, trauma or infections. I am not sure from your question whether your primary complaint is with small breasts (Both size A or AA) or asymmetry (2 cup sizes difference between them) but if it is the latter then you may be a candidate. In my experience with these cases OHIP has often asked for a letter of support regarding the emotional issues related to the asymmetry from a psychiatrist that has been treating the patient. If you are unsure you can always book a consultation with a royal college certified plastic surgeon in the area to get a better idea of whether you may qualify. Best of luck!

Answer: Breast implants Unfortunately not. Breast implants are considered cosmetic from an OHIP perspective unless performed for reconstruction (for patients with breast cancer or genetically increased risk of developing breast cancer - e.g. BRCA1/2) or significant asymmetry as you mentioned.

Answer: OHIP Coverage for Breast Implants In your situation, breast implants are not covered under OHIP. An example of when breast implants are covered would be for breast reconstruction. Many clinics offer a variety of payment options, including financing. Be sure to ask about this option at your initial consultation.
