Is it Safe to have a Second Breast Reduction?

New York1988
I had a breast reduction at 18, I weigh 115, 5'6 and my breasts went from a double/triple D to a C after the surgery. However about 4 years later, they are an uncomfortable double D again. The surgery also left one almost a cup size larger then the other. I also used to have scoliosis and had an operation to reverse it at 14 so posture is a life long health concern for me. I want to have a 2nd breast reduction but would my insurance (medicaid) pay for it again? Also would I be a good candidate?
