Insurance Coverage for Breast Lifts with Severe Ptosis?

crl89
I'm just curious- do insurance companies ever cover breast lifts for women with severe ptosis? For example, although my breasts don't look that big under clothes (at least in my opinion-they lack volume), they are a 32L and the nipple points down/is on the very bottom. They actually reach my waist.. I'm 23 and breastfeeding. I actually get a rash sometimes on my stomach from where my nipple touches when they leak breast milk. That's how bad they are. I don't want a lift now, just curious.
