Panniculectomy in Ontario Canada
I have my consultation in mid October. I am curious if anyone knows the OHIP process, what it looks like here and if there is a certain BMI that I need to be at .
TIA

Hi, there is no BMI requirements. /what the PS is looking for is a stable weight for at least 6 months. You want to be as close to your BMI as possible. I've had all my contouring done at USculpt in Vaughan. Love them all. You want to make sure whoever you choose specialises in WLS patients. We heal very differently. Feel free to PM me if I can help

Thank you for your response. My consultation is with one of three surgeons my bariatric team refers to specifically for excess skin removal.

Your plastic surgeon will apply to OHIP on your behalf. Unfortunately no guarantees that you will be approved, the lower your "pannis" hangs the better your odds. Document skin breakdown, rashes & other problems. I have no idea what the panniculectomy $$ is worth these days ,and also many people pay a upgrade for muscle repair and/or the 360% belt lift. Good Luck :)
