Plastic surgeon

Does anybody know who's the best plastic surgeon in getting approvals with OHIP? 

I'm 38D. I have big problems with my shoulders and upper back. My GP thinks that it could be due to the breast weight. But he says you have to be at least DDD cup to be approved. I don't think he's right.

What is the criteria?

Thank you,

Alla

As far as I know, your breasts need to hang a certain length from shoulder to nipple.  I do not know the length, but I do know that Dr. Michael Kreidstein is an awesome PS!

You can see his site at http://www.drkreidstein.com/.

Dr. kreidstein certainly is awesome, and I highly recommend him!  I saw him end of September and he told me that for surgery to  be considered a reduction, he had to remove 250 grams (I think), but I don't know if this is total or per breast.  He is definitely worth seeing and talking to.  I really like him - very happy with my tt, and wish I could afford the boobs.

Hiya - you are not likely a 38D. I don't say that because I think you are delusional (hehe) but because something like 75-85% of women are wearing the wrong size, because they don't know how to measure themselves. The way a bra size is determined is simply but generally misunderstood. The band size should be the actual measurement of the circumference underneath your bust. Then the cup size is actually the difference, in inches between your bust circumference and your underbust circumference. So if you measured 34" in the underbust, and 36" in the bust, you're a 34B, if your bust is 38", 34D. In my case, for years I wore a 40D.... I got remeasured and I was actually a 36GG! 9" bigger in my bust. Hard to believe, but true!

If this is all a little much for you, I would highly recommend being measured at a specialty bra store, like Secrets From Your Sister here in Toronto. You might be surprised! If your boobs are hurting your back, I would be shocked if they are only 4" greater than your underbust.

Thank you  for the info.

Hi Alla,

Nice to see you again. The previous posters are correct. It does not matter what your size is. They have to reduce each breast 300 cc(?) of breast tissue to qualify for an ohip paid reduction along with other documented symptoms like rashes. Ohip does not pay for a breast lift which is what I needed because I didnt have much tissue left just a whole heap of skin.

I am having a fleur dis lis (tummy tuck with inverted T) and breast lift done on oct 31st at Humber church st location.. The panni portion is covered by ohip. I am paying for the upgrade to fleur dis lis and the breast lift. A friend of mine used the same surgeon and she had an ohip paid breast reduction and paid for her tummy tuck. She had her RNY one month after mine.

Our surgeon is dr daniel martin, 2221 keele st 416 244 5506. He is young, super nice and has patiently answered my millions of questions. You will find that dr kreidstein is quite a bit more expensive than dr martin. If you are having other work done at the same time you can negotiate on the pricing and work to be done. You will need a referral to go see him as you would for any plastic surgeon that works with ohip.

good luck,.

Hi Lorraine, do you mind sharing what you are paying for your plastic surgery? If it is too private maybe you could message me? 

Thanks!
