I had to have a mammogram before my breast uplift as I had never had one before and my surgeon told me that I should have one. I didn’t really have time to wait to get a visit to the doctor then wait for a letter then go to hospital . so I just called up a few private hospitals. I found one that didn’t need a surgeon or doctors referral letter and paid £100 for a mammogram and got seen the next day. They found a lump and so I needed a scan which cost £95. Had to have my uplift put on hold. Got referred to NHS. Had biopsy. It was nothing. Phew. The biopsy took 10 days to come back.
So if you go private you will be seen straight away. .
Hope that helps..
