Severe uneven breasts. What is the best option ? (photos)

jtrujillo
My left breast is severely larger than my right. I've been wearing a prosthesis made for cancer patients. I've been to one consultation with a doctor who wanted to put an implant in only one breast. My concern is eventually they won't look the same. What would be the best route to take ? I have realistic expectations and I know they will never look exactly the same. Also I've known about this since I was 13. Will insurance most likely cover a reconstruction surgery ? Thankyou in advance for your feedback.
