Asymmetric Breasts - Surgical Options for Nipple Size and Breast Size?

One of my breasts is a C cup the other is B and they both have different nipple sizes. I prefer the C cup breast size wise but then prefer the nipple size on the B cup breast.Which would be better saline or silicon or am i better off just having a breast reduction on the C cup breast. Would insurance cover anything if it were a reduction or because their asymetric? How does healing go for it. I want to make sure ive made the right decision on everything so i wanna learn all the facts beforehand.
