I have found that push ups (and i don't mean the bra though they help too) work wonders!

Tricare will only cover this type of surgery if you are having significant back and/or shoulder pain related to the weight of your breasts. (ie, bra cutting into shoulders, etc) HOWEVER... if you live near a MTF or better yet a military hospital you might be able to have a lift done there without any problem. You would need to get a referral to see a plastic surgeon there and they would discuss it with you further. Good luck.

alot of the military hospitals do breast implants for a small fee. walter reed does it, but aren't doing it at the moment because of the war. it's something to look into.
