I was wondering if "plastic surgery" is covered by OHIP? Tummy tuck, breast lift. Has anyone had a full body lift?

A breast reduction and/or a panni MAY be covered. You have to find a surgeon that accepts OHIP payment and they have to do the paperwork to advocate for you. I had a panni in October of this year covered by OHIP. It cost me an addition $4000 to turn it into a full tummy tuck but it was worth it. Good luck.
