Breast Reduction for Petite Patient with 36DD Breast?

Olivia27
I'm 27 years old, 5'0" and I weigh 130 lbs. I am considering getting a Breast reduction, currently my breast size is 36DD.I am having lots trouble with breathing, sleeping, neck and back pain and grooving in my shoulders from bra straps. I also have had a problem with a sebaceous cyst under my right breast. The cyst had to be surgically removed after rupturing.Am I a good candidate for this surgery? And if so, How can I get my horizon HMO blue cross blue shield to cover the surgery?
