I am almost 4 months out and have lost 58 pounds so far. I still have about 52 pounds to get to goal. that will be a 110 pound weight loss. My question is will medicare or medicaid pay for a breast lift and maybe a lower body lift. My breast are the worse part right now. I still wear a D cup bra and my breast have dropped to my lower rib cage. I have a ridge on my chest were the breast have broken loose and are hanging. it looks like a deformity. I have a condition that causes very loose ligaments in all my joints and I think the Coopers ligament that holds the breast up has broken loose. I have a well documented history of back problems including degenerative disk desease, several protruding disk, scoliosis, lost curve in neck, non re-attachment of ribs to spinal colum after breaking them, and twisting and curvature of the lower back due to severe trauma. My back pain has gotten worse with the weight loss. I thought the weight loss would actually help the back pain but it hurts like crazy right between my lower shoulder blades were I have several disks that are bulging. I don't really want emplants just put everything back were it belongs. I am disabled and have no way to pay for a breast lift. Will either of these insurances pay for this or am I just out of luck? If they do what will I need to document to get the approval?
