How severe are my tuberous breasts? Enough to reap Medicare benefits for correction? (Photo)

Asked By:RSMember16558 in Newcastle, AU

Hello. I am a 21 years old female and I've recently been told that my breasts are tuberous. I was just wondering to which degree do I fall under? And if my case is severe enough for costs to be covered by Medicare? I've always felt my breasts were weird and different, and always felt embarrassed about them, so it would be great to have them corrected! Is there any chance I will grow out of this? Thankyou!!!
