24 yo, 5'7" and 175lbs, size 36DDD breasts, hoping for United Healthcare to cover a Breast Reduction Surgery - Good Candidate?

meganburns9
I have been interested in breast reduction since I was 15yo. I am considered "normal" weight for my height (slightly on the upper range), & have had large breasts ever since I hit puberty. Even when I had lost weight and was 130lbs, I was still a large 34DD. They very dense and heavy, so I have been experiencing non-stop back, neck, and shoulder pain. My breasts hurt when I run or jog. I do NOT plan to have children.
