    As per the CRA: Cosmetic surgery – generally, expenses solely for cosmetic procedures are not eligible.

    An expense for a cosmetic procedure qualifies as an eligible medical expense if it is necessary for medical or reconstructive purposes, such as surgery to address a deformity related to a congenital abnormality, a personal injury resulting from an accident or trauma, or a disfiguring disease.

     

    Contact the CRA for your specific case at 1 (800) 959-8281 so that they can advise you further.
