Re-construction after excisional biopsy/lump removal?

Morning ladies,

I was wondering if anyone knows if Ontario covers re-construction after large amounts of tissue removal but not the entire breast.  I have a area of tissue in my left breast that is being closely monitored (MRI every 6 months) that on a vacuum assisted biopsy (also MRI guided) showed a few types of abnormal results but not cancer.  

The tissue involved, plus borders will equal about the upper half of my breast.  Its a lot to take out my surgeon has even said that it would be "disfiguring".  I'm 36 and am hoping that there are some reconstruction options out there that OHIP covers.

Thanks
