Breast Lift and Augmentation: I Am Looking for a Doctor Near Baton Rouge

I'm a gastric bypass patient who has lost 150lbs. I now am wanting a tummy tuck, possible body contouring, and a breast lift. Augmentation is undecided. I am currently a DD though I have very tubular breasts with no fullness and they are far apart affecting. Id like a perkier fuller breast with a possible implant to achieve this. I have severe ptosis. I also have tricare who only does plastic surgery out of neccessity. How can I make my case to insurance & how to handle my breasts?

Breast Lift and Augmentation after Weight Loss
