I have just started my research into plastics. I would like my arms, thighs, panni, mons done. The only thing OHIP may cover if you meet the criteria is a panni. You need documented rashes, skin breakdown and it has to hang a certain amount over mons etc. everything else is self pay.

There are a few here that have recently had plastics, I am sure they will jump in to give your their experience. Have you asked this in the plastics forum? You may get help there as well.

This might be a silly questions but ...where do we find the plastics forum ??

Have learned that I can't measure my journey only by what I've lost. I've gained health and extra time on this earth ... that is most important

There isn't really anything Canadian on that forum.. I went on there and some Canadians were on there but it's mostly Americans and they don't know anything about how things work here.

I had my panni covered by OHIP and upgraded to the fleur de lis and breast lift.

My panni had to hang 10cms minimum.

Hi there,

I recently got Ohip approval for a panni. OHIP may cover a panni and breast reduction (although some say that is harder to get now as they changed the requirements).

I began by researching who I wanted to see. Then I went to my family doctor and got my doctor to put in a referral to that surgeon.

Then I went to that surgeon (Dr. Matic in London) for a consult. It was short and sweet and he said his office would put in the paperwork. Around 6-8 weeks later, I had approval. I went back a few weeks ago and set a date for surgery.

I am upgrading out of pocket in order to get a full tummy tuck (fleur de lis). I am very excited. I will be getting it done in the Fall. Message me anytime.

I have a long way to go before I even think about this, but what is the cost to upgrade from a panni to a tummy tuck, if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks so much.

Well I am getting the whole shebang - muscle repair and fleur de lis. It will be $4,000 out of pocket.
