When is a breast lift considered medically necessary? (Photos)

Persistent605087
I recently had my botched 1400cc saline implants ruptured in office with my Medicaid insurance covering the removal. Working with my insurance they would cover a lift if medically necessary. The only surgeon in my area that accepts insurance procedures doesn’t feel my lift is necessary and quoted me over 8k for the lift. I’m not fighting with insurance but the surgeon on what’s medically necessary. Can I have some insight so I can advocate for myself and not get taken advantage of again?
