Will insurance cover breast implants, for uneven breast due to scoliosis?

Question

I have struggled with severe scoliosis all of my life, & part of that has led to having a disproportional body, my whole left side has more fat. Resulting in me having a D cup on my left side & an A cup on my right side. It started out as a little difference (B and an A), now it is much more noticeable & I am afraid it is continue to keep growing only on the one side. Would this be considered a deformity? If so would insurance cover any of it? Also would I have to get both done? Or just the one?

Uneven breasts - is an aesthetic issue  - therefore- it's highly unlikely that it will be covered by insurance- but you can always read your policy

Unfortunately it is not likely to be covered by your insurance. However, I would suggest that you call the insurance company to discuss the coverage provided by your specific plan.

Asymmetry of the breast is a consequence of scoliosis is still a cosmetic problem in very likely would not be covered by insurance.
