Asked By:liv93 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Hello, been seeking a while now for away to fund my corrective surgery for my tuberous breasts. I live in Canada BC as well as on welfare with two small children so funding this myself is a little difficult. Just curious as too if there is any coverage for this correction as it is congenital or at least partially covered? Should I discuss with my ps about requesting possible coverage? Many thanks

You don't have tubular breasts, and no medicare would not pay for it even if you did have tubular breasts. What you have is breasts that are sagging and the best option would be to get a lift and if you like to get more volume then use an implant at the same time.
