Will my Insurance Cover a Breast Lift if It Affects my Posture?

July 28, 2012
Asked By:CCSC10

I'm 20 years old and a 38 C, my boobs have been droopy pretty much since puberty. I don't want a huge reduction but a lift. I have back and posture problems which could be a result of hunching forward so much. I was just wondering if my insurance would cover some of the cost since they do cause a little pain. Also, how much scaring is typical? I'm a little concerned since I already have stretch marks there.
