BA on NHS??????

Hello, could anyone give me any advise on a ba on the NHS either sucsesfully or not, i have recently seen my GP and been refered a cosmetic surgeon to see if i am eligable. Any advise atal would be appreciated. Thanks xxx

Hey Hun how did you get your gb to refer you? What did you say? I think i might try this option. And why do you have to be eligible through the surgeon?? X

Hi girls ive been suffering with depression for 6yrs and other problems ive been surffering with. and i decided to go and see my GP and have a chat, she was excellent and she said she was gonna refere me to a cosmetic surgeon on the NHS, i didnt expect this to happen. but couple of months later i meet the surgeon and had measurements and photos taken. it was then the cosmetic surgeon who does a write up and referes it to the NHS fiance department and un fortunally i wasnt accepted. even though the suregon said he thought i would be eligable. but its down to the NHS. also u only get the size they recommend which i was offered only 280cc at the time. hope this helps girls. hope it works out for u huni as it didnt for me. so ive had to pay out now. but im glad im getting the boobs i wont like 700cc by amazing surgeon..

hi hun they dont give many breast augs on the nhs anymore theres a very strick criteria, you’ve gotta be seeking counciling and on anti depressants amongst other things, if you go on sofemenine there was a post on there the other day about it xx

a girl my cousin knows had it done on the nhs, this is a few yrs bak now n i duno how she went about it or wot not. but im certain they would only do one boob and then a few months later the other one! surely that would make you feel even worse lol

My cousin tried as she was suffering with depression and had one boob a lot larger than the other and even she was refused, Think they are very strict now x

I think everyone was giving the whole GP trick a bash. Once word got about everyone was at their GP’s wanting it from the NHS.

Unfortunately it’s resulted in them being so strict that even the people that should be eligable aren’t.

I was on anti depressants, i’d put myself in hospital and done all sorts i saw a councillor for ages and was reffered to a surgon then it goes to a board of people where it is discussed etc… i was accepted and on a waiting list the waiting went on over a year and in the end i choose to pay for it myself as i couldn’t wait any longer, , it does take a lot to be accepted and it isn’t a quick procsess it wa about 3yrs from seeing the doc to been accepted then a yr on the waiting list, so 4 years, in that time i could of taken out a loan had my boobs and paid it off lol. xx

Don’t get me started on this subject girls. Lol

The last post like this got removed

Basically NHS have had major cuts and u will not be able to get one on the NHS they will put u on tablets and coucilling and diagnose u with a mental problem… Because it is a mental issue.

Then when u go for ur surgery privately u may not be able to get them done if ur diagnosed with body Morpheus as ur not mentally stable to go through surgery so be careful.

Best way is to save up, avoid anti depressants on ur medical record and be patient.

I was depressed over my body and did not even let my partner of 5 yrs see my breasts until post surgery. Took me a little while to save up for my boobs but at leasti haven’t fucked my medical record up.

NHS have got a lot of other things to pay for, like saving peoples lives and making peoples lives painless.. Rather than enhancing people. Xxx

hi girls, my friend got one on the nhs but this was years ago, maybe 5/6 years i think. she managed to get it so im guessing it was possible then but not now? not too sure of the circumstances but i know she was involved in an accident which made her chest worse so maybe thats what swayed the decision…. dont go getting yourself ito an accident though!!! xx

Hello, thanks for the comments im not sure but ive heard the guidlines are different in scotland (where i live)that we dont need PCT funding…does anyone know if this is correct?? but basically i have been depressed over this for as long as i can remember and have been to the doctor and she has refered me because she has known about this for years.

I am a very small 32a sometimes 32aa and i literlly dont leave the house/have relationships because of this, my whole life is affected, its not as if i am a wanna be glamour model like others who have decieved the system.

scarlett sas — i am not needing ‘enhanced’ i dont have nothing to enhance and rather than the GP putting me through counciling and anti-depressents which in the long run is also expensive is it not better to get straight to the root of the problem i.e my breasts because i know im not taking anti-depressents if they offer and counciling will not help me. Also i dont have the funds to pay private or even save so my qualilty of life is affected just like any other person with a medical condition.

Hey girls,

Just re the anti-d issue. I am on anti-depressants due to things having been a bit hard in my life over the past few years. I am having my BA and uplift (bought & paid for by me) next week and the only thing MYA needed to know was that I don’t take the medication due to body issues. So, please don’t worry, being on anti-d’s doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be refused surgery privately they just need to know the facts about you.

Fair enough but still think the root cause is mental not physical. And still think NHS have more important things to pay for. There are thousands of depressed girls wanting boobies. Save up, like everyone else. These NHS posts need to stop, or mya mod do me a factor and remove it before I upset people. Xx

i agree with you that the problem is mental thats why the NHS guidlines for BA are under condition that is a mental problem. i have no other mental problem in my life apart from this and i have never got over it and probs never will.

Yes the NHS do have funding problems but the NHS also pay for years of sesions and programmes for people with drug/alcahol problems which is self inflicted ….so whos to say what mental problems should be a priority and what shouldnt. Lets face it lots of things in life are not fair like how some people have to pay and some people are eligble for free surgery.

I’d quite while your ahead on this post girls like Scarlett said, the last one got removed cos people have such strong feelings and opinions about this subject whether they’re right or wrong but people end up getting upset and angry with what other people are saying and it’s not what this forum is about X

Its so easy to get a Loan with santander xx

I’m on anti d’s….was worried it would effect me having my op but they were fine about it. Like clare said they ask you why you’re on them and they wrote to my councilor (can’t spell it??) to see if i was menatally stable for councilling and it was fine although the surgeon did say to be carefull as the anesthetic (can’t spell that either) can act as a strong depressant for a week or so after…..

My cousin had a BA on the NHS a few years ago, i’m not really sure of her situation though, i don’t particular agree with it but if it’s causing major disruptions to girls lives say if they’ve got really uneven boobs etc then why not….i’m sure a few BA’s here and there aren’t exactly going to break the bank when we pay out so many millions a year in other useless crap and benefit frauds…. do whatever feels right for you at the end of the day xx

Well tbh i dint come on this to have a debate i just wanted a friendly bit of advice xxx

Linzie I wouldn’t get into it hun, I know where your comin from and I agree with alot of what everyone says but this will turn into a mass debate X

It gets heated this subject, especially with me around…ha. I feel for the girls with depression over this, I had it for years… But that’s why I saved up, and paid for them myself. I havnt been in a club/bar for 3 years, I bet if u saved up what ever money u spend going out or buying new shoes etc u will have the money for boobs in no time. I’m only 21 and single mother…if I can do it, I’m sure everyone else can! I started off by saving £10 a day. Then as I worked I saved more n more. X

Lol ohh well i didnt wanna get into anything in the first place im not gonna sit on a site and argue over something thats a personal desicion and if people dont like what im doing then they dont need to get involved in a post when i asked for advise from people who have had NHS surgery. i just dont know why they wouldnt be happy for someone in the same situation (whatever means they fund it).

Thanks anyways xx

linzie i’ve messaged you xx

Im paying for my boobies and work hard to pay for it! but if i could get them done on NHS i would! Im sure everyone on here would x

Scarlett – that was a lovely post

I totally agree can people honestly say they would knock back a free BA if they were eligble ?????? somehow i dont think so xxx

I wouldn’t lol X

Wow didnt think NHS would do this anymore due to cut backs??? but hey,,, I only want a varicouse (if thats how you spell it)vein removed from my leg & have been fighting for it for years..have discomfort every day….but hey..

Im pretty sure my GP would have laughed me out of the place if I had of went to him about my boobs.

the consultant about my vein said pretty much im being vein. nice hey!

6 more sleeps till my boob job which im paying for myself…. after having my 3 kids….. x

I had my ba done 4 weeks ago on the nhs to correct my tubular breasts, it’s taken about a year all in from first going to my gp.

Basically she reffured me they came back and said no ,we had the right to appeal so my gp thought it was worth appealing and couldn’t understand why they said no so I took pictures to send off with gps letter a few months later they said yes.

I then had a call off surgeons pa to book a consultation had my op two months later. Hope it all works out for you . X

I wud refuse a free boob job because I have some dignity I would rather pay and not feel like I’m spongeing rather than wait years on a waiting list… No thanks

oh thats good youve eventually had it done but i didnt know you could appeal it if you were unsuccessful the first time round where is it you stay..because i think the rules may be diffrent in scotland ?? xxx

Corrective surgery I agree with but not breast enlargement for depression

i have dignity dear, there is no shame in admitting you need help with money at the end of the day if the NHS was really that short of cash then they would completly scrap BA on the NHS (which the have not) im sure they are an organisation which know what there doing. If they felt the service was not totally neccesary to give out then the simply wouldny offer it end of.

i understand if someone has something ‘wrong’ with there breasts, like there too massive, cause back pain, problems breats feeding, different sizes, tubular etc but other than that i dont agree, sorry but every1s entitled to there opinion n im not takin sides. just voicing my opinion

i used to be skinny, i still am but i mean skinnier and it bothered me, ppl thinkin i didnt eat when i cud eat takeaways everyday n wudnt gain weight, which obviously affected my ‘boobage’ or lack of it. i guess i was depressed, upset alot about it spesh if ppl mentioned it, sumtimes dint wana wear certain things/go out/change infront of my boyf etc, it was hard at times.

but just gettin a boob job doesnt solve these kind of issues, there psychological more than anything. surgery isnt a quick fix. ok ull have boobs but then im sure ppl pick up other areas there not happy with and its just a cycle that doesnt stop.

but now i have a great new boyf and im happy in my self, im confident, outgoing, have no issues with being topless in front of my boyf he loves me no matter what. obviously i still have no boobs and wud want a more womanly figure seen astho im 24 and not a child anymore but ive worked hard and now in 6 days ill have those boobs.

but id never get a boob job when i were depressed and i dont think anyone shud, and i dont think tax payers money shud pay for it either. and abit silly to post this on a cosmetic surgery forum where people have worked there asses off to raise their own money. im skint and i will be for a good year, if you want something so bad then work hard to get it done!

so many people have small boobs why shud you be the one who gets it free when the rest of the nation works hard, especially when there not causing any kind of ‘problem’ … a quick fix for small boobs is not the reason the nhs do it!!

imagine someone who had to have their breast/s removed due to cancer, thats wot the nhs is for!!!!!

like i said not taking sides just voicing my opinion xx

Well said leannex

i was tempted to try the NHS route, i sat down worked out my finances and can do it myself, i will be £600 short but my mam is lending me that cos i booked for 7th june, if i can do it being a single mum to 2 little ones and a hefty solicitors bill at the end of every month for my divorce im sure anyone can do it, just belive in yourselves that u can save and u will do it if u r determined enough

The last post like this got removed cos certain people started upsetting people with what they said and how they said it.

Theres no need for the nastiness that manifests when anybody asks about NHS BA. What the hell has dignity got to do with having a BA thru NHS? Would you say the same to someone who got their boobs thru MFI?

The poster didnt ask for opinions about BA on NHS she asked if anybody had any experience of acceptance or refusal, so if you cant offer anything constructive to help her then DONT post!

I forgot to say good luck xlinziex, hope it works out for you xx

totally agree samf81! x

The last got removed for this reason, this post needs removing. This is not a NHS forum…

Sorry, but unless it was corrective surgery (i.e. I lost a breast due to cancer) then I wouldn’t even dream of getting a boob job on the NHS when there are so many worthy people being refused cancer drugs etc, to me it would be morally wrong.

I’ve wanted a boob job for years, always hated my body but I’m paying for it with my cash. I just couldn’t do it.

Thanks sam & klill i ignore the ignorant people who think ther way or nobodys atal

scarlett i did not once ask for your opinion on private vs NHS BA’s ….i only asked for advice from people that know the NHS procedures. if anyones post should be removed it should be yours , your obv a bitter and bichy girl.

bye xxx

No comment lol

Stop being bitches girls….we aint nasty people.

Ok so some do/dont agree with the nhs route but this wasnt what was being asked. Scarlett i do agree with everything you’ve said but let it go girl.

Linz if you want to go on the nhs go for it but asmentioned its practically impossible now. Legally they are unable to “scrap” this treatment as thats what its medically classed as “treatment”….so many ppl would get sued or sacked.

Everyone has aright to post what they want….if you dont like it simply dont click on it xx

The original poster asked for any advice at all, so my advice is to save the money up herself and let NHS funding go to people who need treatment for cancer etc. X

Constructive advice not dictation. Im more aware of the need for cancer funding than you realise. Infact as i said im against gettin a ba on the nhs

Yes but this is a mya forum for advice on BA and other surgical procedures, not for NHS advice. Not bitchy… Yes I’m blunt .. Didn’t want to offend anyone just don’t like this topic coming up it annoys me. Needs removing. X

Can you get a BA if you have private health insurance??? Im not thinking about it but I just had a thought! lol ?????

Good question!…?

I’m guessing if ur breasts change after uv taken the insurance out there may be a chance of that?

just thinking for in the VERY DISTANT future for 2nd BA if it would be worth having private health care or just saving up???
