A member asked:
I have 38ddd, i am 25. i have a previous rib injury on my left side, that my saggy boobs have made flare up again. could a breast lift be covered by insurance if the sagginess is causing pain to my ribs? could i keep the same size?

Most "breast lifts" are cosmetically or comfort driven, and some insurance companies will require orthopedic written confirmation of a demonstrated clinical basis for the intended surgery. If advance approval is granted, "keeping the same size" will generally not "correct" a repeat event in the future, given the measurements stated.
