Is Liposuction Covered by Health Insurance? Among the different types of plastic surgery, liposuction is one of the least commonly covered by insurance. In terms of coverability, it is on par with eyelid and breast augmentation. However, there are some exceptions to this rule.
We all want to look and feel our best, and cosmetic procedures like TriSculpt® liposuction from Sono Bello can be much more affordable than people expect. Even so, fitting an elective procedure into your monthly budget can take some planning, and there are many good options for covering the cost including cash or check, credit and debit cards ...

- Rhinoplasty. A nose job is considered an elective cosmetic surgery procedure, so don't look to OHIP or your insurance to cover it. That being said, if it's required to fix a nasal injury or breathing issue, or a deviated septum that's the result of a congenital birth anomaly or trauma, submit an application for full OHIP coverage and they will determine whether they've got your nose, er, back.
- Breast implant removal. OHIP will sometimes cover the removal of breast implants, particularly if an infection is involved, there's a capsular contracture (when the scar tissue becomes too tight around the implant and forms a "capsule" that's squeezing it), if you've been diagnosed with breast cancer and removal is necessary for an oncologist to properly treat you or a mastectomy is required.
- Mole removal. If it's strictly for appearances' sake, then don't let the cosmetic surgeon's door hit you on the way out. Medically, however, there are moles that could be cancerous, or even benign yet still cause irritation or perhaps one is starting to block your vision, and that's when you can look at your insurance coverage (though it differs from plan to plan and whether the deductible has been met).
- Weight loss surgery. In Ontario, bariatric surgeries — which assist with weight loss — are covered by OHIP. But patients need to meet certain qualifications like failing to lose weight through a medically supervised program and having a BMI or body mass index over 40.
