Does Canadas health care system cover cosmetic surgery?
Yes and no. It covers essential cosmetic surgery – for example, if a child is born with facial defects, then that plastic surgery is covered. Or if the victim of a fire is badly scarred, that plastic surgery will be covered. These are considered essential surgeries. But wrinkles don’t count as debilitating or life threatening defects. In fact, they are a testimony to your long and active life – so be proud of them!
