Will Insurance Pay For a Reduction if You Have Implants? I Was a Saggy C Before, Now 40E?

Reduce me Mpls
I am a patient at Mayo for severe pain and back issures. I'd love a reduction but I have implants so I'm wondering if I would be covered? I'm 5'2" and a 40DDD? The doc went bigger "made an executive decision" after he put me under, without my permission. I've had them for over 12 years. Also wondering if I could get really small implants after getting the bigs ones taken out and getting a reduction. Originally I was a large C cup but was saggy, so I had a lift with implants.
