It is difficult to tell you whether or not your insurance company will pay for revision surgery of your asymmetry. They may pay for scar revision if your scars are truly painful and enlarged.
Insurance to cover breast revision surgery?

They MIGHT. A strong letter by your surgeon , accompanied by photos,emphasizing the functional aspects of your situation is the place to start. Focusing on the scar revision can help gain approval.

It really depends on your insurance policy, however, if it is a complication from a previously covered surgery, then you may have a good chance for coverage. You will likely need to see the surgeon and have them write a letter to your insurance company to get pre-authorization for the procedure. Good luck.

Mkw,
Unfortunately, there is almost no rhyme or reason as to what insurance carriers will or will not cover. It depends on what state you are in, what insurance carrier you have, what your specific plan is and sometimes who picks up the phone when you call for authorization. It's that ridiculous. A letter from your surgeon would document your symptoms and the medical necessity for surgery. Sometimes photos of your condition are helpful for the insurance company to appreciate the cause of those symptoms. I would recommend a visit to a board certified plastic surgeon for some assistance and guidance as to how to get approval. Good luck!
