  I have an unusual problem. My breasts were very different in size and shape. My left breast is
almost tubular in shape and the nipple is in 3 sections in the center. Approximately 12 years
ago I had a silicone implant place in the left breast and then 8 years ago I had it removed and
had it replaced with a saline implant. My problem is this - my right breast (without the implant)
is still at least twice the size of the left breast and the implant in my left breast is capsulated
I believe. It is hard and seems to have moved towards my arm pit and also pains me a great deal.
I have seen the only Plastic Surgeon in Thunder Bay where I live and he told me that if I wanted
this problem fixed that any surgery I have is not covered by OHIP.
I guess I have two questions. Can the problem I described be fixed with surgery.
And second can any of this be covered by OHIP.

Dear Anon,
It sounds as if you have a fairly complex problem and it would be difficult to provide any exact advice
without seeing you personally. Having significant breast asymmetry with one breast being tuberous
is actually more common than you may think. How we would correct this at this stage depends a lot
on the size of the opposite breast. One possible consideration would be to perform a reduction and
lift of your opposite breast and try to deal with the left side through an open capsulotomy and implant
replacement. This may very well help to improve your overall symmetry in terms of both size and
shape. With respect to OHIP coverage, this is not black and white. It often depends on the degree of
asymmetry. I can tell you however that correcting a contracted breast implant is something that is
presently covered by OHIP.
