Let’s talk Breast Reductions 🎙️
▫️What is a OHIP covered Breast Reduction?
Ontario Health Insurance Plan Breast Reductions are a financially covered reduction procedure for patients who suffer pain and discomfort as a result of large, heavy and hanging breasts. OHIP will in this scenario cover the cost of the procedure for breast tissue removal.
▫️How can you apply for a OHIP funded Breast Reduction?
Step 1: Consult with your Family Dr and request a referral to a Plastic Surgeon
Step 2: Consult with surgeon, admin will apply on your behalf for OHIP coverage
Step 3: Wait for the final decision from the government on whether your coverage has been approved ✔️
Step 4: Book surgery
◽️What are the ‘extras’ in a Breast Reductions?
With OHIP Breast Reductions, coverage is given only for the removal of breast tissue, not to provide an aesthetic result .
To form your new breasts into a natural shape and sculpt them to your breast wall and arm pit, liposuction is required. During your consult, Dr Jalil will explain these areas and provide a quote.
One other unique option patients are given at our clinic that Dr Jalil is a master at is Auto Augmentation. A process in which the Dr will re use the tissue he has removed by moving it under the breast as a natural implant. This gives the illusion of a fuller breast whilst simultaneously lifting and reducing the overall breast size. *This option is not possible for all patients, during your assessment Dr Jalil will review and provide a surgical plan that’s best for you.
◽️Who is not suitable for a OHIP covered Breast Reduction?
Patients with less volume but with low hanging breasts are usually not able to apply for a breast reduction through OHIP.
