Does OHIP cover breast implants for tuberous breast deformity? And how much would it be without insurance?

July 29, 2016
Asked By:karikaree in Toronto, ON

It is my understanding that tuberous breast deformity is considered a congenital deformity and therefore covered under OHIP. Is it or is it not covered? I can't even wear a normal t shirt without feeling uncomfortable. I have tiny breasts and huge areolas. I've never been able to take off my shirt in an intimate setting. what exactly would need to be done to my tuberous breasts to have them look normal? What is an average cost of breast implants/ areolas reduction without insurance?
