Asked By:JessieAlvarez in Bronx, NY

. I am currently a 40 DD with Droopy Breast and my right breast is much larger than the left it is so difficult to find a bra because the larger breast would slip out under the bra they are heavy I have herniated bulging disks down my spine and a pinched nerve in my neck the neck and back and shoulder pain is unbearable I believe it has to do with the large breasts I can't even buy certain shirts what fits my waist squeezes my bust. Would my insurance cover the procedure Emblem Health/GHI in NY
