Answer 1

yes you can ,but you have to make clear that your nipples cause you personal problems you also may have to be quite emotional and ask repeatedly for surgery .
i know a number of people who have had cosmetic surgery on the nhs ,girls who have had breast implants ,breast uplifts , reduction etc. but the girl who had implants has emotional problems so she the surgery just one month after asking ,she basically screamed her way into cosmeticc surgery ,but i would'nt advise this ...at first .if your doctor refuses at first then it's time to turn on the water works. tell him how insecure you feel and pester him untill he gives in

Answer 2

Inverted Nipples Nhs

Answer 3

I was under the impression that you can get some cosmetic surgery on the NHS if it seriously effects your mental health. My best friend has had cosmetic nose surgery a couple of times on the NHS but she wasn't very happy with the results. She had to wait a long time on a waiting list and I don't really think she was treated very profesionally. I also had a friend who had a breast reduction on the NHS and she was happy with the results. I don't think you can be 100% certain how it will effect you.

My first question would be: How old are you? In many cases, as you get older, the nipples will evert naturally.

My second question is: Why do you really want the surgery? I know that you stated that you hate your inverted nipples. Is that because you are afraid that you might not be able to breastfeed a child when that time comes? Is it because you are self-conscious and afraid of what a potential (or current) mate thinks about them?

If you are concerned about breastfeeding, it used to be common practice to treat flat or inverted nipples prenatally with nipple-stretching exercises and/or breast shells (plastic cups worn inside the bra that press on the areola, forcing the nipple out). Yet studies comparing treated with untreated groups showed the treated groups actually were less successful at breastfeeding. Most breastfeeding specialists no longer recommend prenatal nipple treatment. They believe that all the attention given to nipples prenatally makes the mother feel that her breasts are inadequate, setting her up for breastfeeding failure. Your breasts are p[robably quite adequate for the task.

If you are concerned about your appearance to potential mates, let me start by saying that youshould be loved and respectred for who you are and how you treat others - not because you have perfect nipples or inverted nipples. Anybody who uses that as a barometer of whether to love you or not is shallow and undeserving of your time.

I can honestly tell you that there are many men (and women, if that is your preference) who could not care less if your nipples are inverted and they would love you, your breasts and nipples just as they are. I, personally, could worship a woman's breasts (if she were my wife or gf) and I would not care at all if the nipples were inverted, flat or perfect. I would still appreciate them and I would worship them as long as she would allow it. There are many other people just like me in that regard.

Therefore, my advice is to pass on the surgery and learn to love yourself for who you are. Your breasts and nipples are perfect for the person who truly loves you. They should be perfect for you, too.

Good luck and much happiness to you.

Answer 5

if your breathing problems are enough to make your doctor concerned, then he/she can recommend you see a surgical consultant. if the surgical consultant thinks it is affecting your breathing, he/she will recommend surgery. if it isn't affecting your breathing too badly, then you won't be recommended for surgery, however much the appearance of your nose may affect your self-esteem, confidence etc. cosmetic procedures have been cut (no pun intended) from the NHS operations because of the current recession & public spending cuts.

Answer 6

im not sure about that in particular but i know a few people who have had cosmetic procedures on the NHS, so make a few enquiries with your GP. I do know that to get it on the NHS though, it needs to be due to a medical, and not purely cosmetic problem so if its, for example, making you depressed because of it, you may have a good case to work with. good luck! xxx

Answer 7

Hi, i should think so, if you can prove that it is effecting you mentally and physically then i suppose you can get anything done on the NHS but you will have to weight ages for it. I would have a word with your doctor.

Answer 9

doubt it, who sees them apart from you and the love of your life! ?? why do you need them done, it's purely cosmetic reasons, you should pay for it yourself! There are thousands of people out there that have boobs which have a big size difference and they cant get them done on nhs, i don't mean to sound rude, but it's not like your walking round with half your body missing is it!!!
