Mandatory Mammogram for Breast Lift Surgery?

Hello! I am 27 years old and just scheduled a breast lift surgery for end of this year. My surgeon requires a mammogram to be done before he can operate. Is this a normal thing that is required for breast procedures? From my research so far it looks like this wouldn’t be covered by insurance because I am under the age of 40 and have no symptoms or family history- no real medical reason to have a screening done. Has anyone else had to do this? For reference I have Aetna Insurance PPO plan.

Any and all responses are greatly appreciated!
