Lump in breast, if insurance pays for removal could I add reconstruction?

Last week I found a lump in my breast. I had one removed 7 years ago. I am only 30 years old, but have lost several family members to cancer. Mamo was done, but no results yet. They wanted to do an ultrasound and most likely a biopsy. I have been fighting with insureance already for a tummy tuck and lipo. I didn't really care about the chest until now, but it was submitted along with all the other things. Since there is a possiblity of having surgery on my breast anyway, would insurance cover the reconstruction part of it as well to "put them back where they belong" I could care less about size or implants, I just want them to not look like a nylon bag with an orange at the bottom. I have BCBC/ IL PPO insurance that willingly paid for the RNY, but is stalling about giving me a yes or no with tummy tuck and other plastics. They have been asking for more documentation of rashes and hernia (which I don't have), so I am guessing they will deny as it stand currently. Just rambling...don't even know if there is a real question in all of this.
