What are the odds of getting my Aetna HMO plan to approve a much needed breast reduction?

I can't say that I have the sad story of growing up with large breast as this was not the case for me. My breast showed up at the age of 21during my 1st pregnancy. I went from a 34C and as of today I am now a 36K. After giving birth I went back to the doctor several times to to ask for something to help them return to their original size but nothing could be done. I have suffered severe back pain and diagnosed with a Degenerative Disc Disorder. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
