I'm 20 years old, 4'11 and 115 pounds. I am a 34G breast size. How can I get my insurance to approve this?

Asked By:Tacobelleater in Panama City, FL

I went to a plastic surgeon for a consultation 4 years ago and he was very negative about me getting approved for a breast reduction because of my BMI and the weight of my breasts. I have extreme back pain and I have gotten rashes on the sides of my breasts. I have a very difficult time finding clothes that fit, and it is a struggle finding affordable bras and swimwear in my size. This has not only hurt me physically but mentally. I have felt very depressed about my body.
