Common questions

Is breast reduction covered by OHIP?
Yes, breast reduction is covered by OHIP for patients who qualify. However, additional services like liposuction may carry a separate charge (one patient was charged $5,000 for liposuction added to their OHIP-covered reduction).
How long does recovery typically take?
Recovery varies by procedure. Several breast reduction patients reported returning to light activity within 2 months. One patient returned to pickleball and gardening after 2 months' rest following a 70% reduction.
What should I expect during post-op follow-up?
Patients receive post-op instructions, have stitches and tubes managed by office or hospital staff, and attend multiple follow-up appointments. Some patients felt their concerns about scarring were not addressed adequately during these visits.

Most reviewers praise Dr. Wallman's surgical skill, attentiveness to concerns, and caring staff. Several report life-changing results in breast and eyelid work. However, a meaningful minority describe unmet expectations (breast reductions smaller than requested), long-term complications requiring revision elsewhere, and receptionist friction. High cost compounds disappointment when results fall short. Clear gaps exist between positive and negative accounts. Some attribute complications to patient selection or recovery variability; others feel dismissed when raising concerns. Staff quality is praised in many reviews but questioned in others.

Patients consistently report feeling genuinely cared for, with Dr. Migara Weerasinghe and team members like Keri and Katrina earning trust through thorough explanations and unhurried attention. The clinic prioritises emergency appointments and follow-up support, turning anxious or pain-stricken first-time visitors into loyal long-term patients. Some front-desk inconsistency and accessibility gaps appear in the feedback. Cosmetic services on the website list suggests broader offerings beyond general dentistry, though reviews focus on restorative and preventive care.
