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.

I don't want a lift now, just curious.
