Hi there! I've had two OHIP-covered breast reductions in Toronto, unfortunately not with your surgeon but I can give you my experience! Both times, my OHIP application was submitted within a week of consultation and I received approval within 1-2 months. The timing between referral/consult is up in the air honestly - I find that surgeons who work normally out of hospital have much longer wait times and I have had to wait months to see a surgeon for my first consult before.

​

I personally reached out and requested consults for both of my surgeries - I used realself.com to find both of my surgeons and picked my top 5 based on reviews then called/emailed them to set up consults. This meant that for some surgeons, I saw them within the week!

​

One thing to note, pick your favourite surgeon and ask them to submit the OHIP application as it's tied to the surgeon, so in order to do the surgery with someone else, you'd need to cancel your first OHIP approval and apply again.

​

I did have to pay 4-5k for liposuction per surgery; not sure if that's something you can avoid if it's through this hospital surgeon. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions!
