Will OHIP cover some of the costs to correct fat necrosis after breast reduction 9 years ago?

August 6, 2023
Asked By:Jlmsox in Windsor, Ontario, Canada

Hello, I had a significant breast reduction and revision in 2015, went from a H to a C which resulted in some bad scarring, loss of nipple sensation and quite a bit of fat necrosis in my right breast. (Doctor confirmed it was fat necrosis by multiple ultrasounds) I am looking to get the fat necrosis removed and perhaps a scar revision. What the procedure process would be on getting the fat necrosis removed since it is large in size and will OHIP cover some of the cost? Thanks in advance!
