Corrective Surgery for Unhappy Breast Reduction - Will I Have to Pay?

TD210
I had breast reduction surgery a few months ago & I am very unhappy with the results. I have a lot left over in my bra-line area, & I can not wear a regular bra, & only certain types of sports or compression bras. It looks so bad that I am severely depressed & am extremely remorseful about having surgery to begin with. My insurance denied paying to correct it, & I am so embarrassed about the way I look & I refuse to see the surgeon who performed the surgery. Will I have to pay to correct it?
