Breast Reduction Went Wrong: Will Insurance Cover a Revision?

Maryannob
I tried to have a breast reduction 14 years ago but the doctor did one side and let a resident do the other. It was a disaster and after two more surgeries he had put big implants in with one side much bigger than the other. They were never reduced. They have gotten larger with age and I have had 10 back surgeries. Do you think the insurance will cover it. I am 5'7" 130 lbs and wear a 36-38 DD. My shoulders and upper back hurt all the time. I don't have the money to pay for it.
