You need to see your own doctor first and if he thinks you have a problem, he can refer you to a consultant. Unless your problem is severe it won't be classed as necessary. If it is causing you psychological problems, he may refer you to a psychiatrist before any decision is made.

You know there was a question similar to this on here a little while ago, and all these questions relating to this subject are getting pretty annoying, having said that i'll give you the exact same reply i gave them, i'll probably get a few thumbs down for this but whatever...Personally i don't agree that you should be able to get breast surgery on the NHS...my cousin has recently had to have a double mastectomy because of breast cancer...i appreciate the way you feel, but i think there may be alot of women out there that have had a breast or breasts removed through illness and would give anything to be in your position...no matter how bad you think it is, it could be worse :) Maybe now you'll start to worry about important things in life instead!!

Very few women are eligible for breast enhancement on the NHS at any age. Most are refused outright, as 'outwith criteria'. A few of these are accepted on appeal, this group are all referred to an assessing psychologist, who usually has a waiting list of more than a year in most areas, and the majority of these are then refused after this assessment. The reality is that the cash strapped NHS is no longer prepared or able to fund what for most is a cosmetic procedure in a well patient, as it struggles to provide care for those that require it.

FYI I saw your other question... you need to specify your surgery is for a breast REDUCTION, since most people are assuming you mean an augmentation/implants...
It CAN be covered on the NHS, you are talking about a breast REDUCTION with a breast lift included since you have back pain.
If it is affecting her health (back pain means its affecting her health of her back) then she has every right to get a reduction covered by the NHS.

Sorry I answered your second question first.
It is unlikely that uplift surgery will help, but reduction might. If you are getting back pain due to breast weight this may qualify as medical rather than cosmetic and may thus be available on the NHS. Discuss it with your GP.

Hey,
If you want to learn how to make make your breasts grow bigger naturally without the aid of any harmful or artificial substances visit http://breastenlargement.toptips.org
Breast development begins at puberty and is regulated by the balance of specific hormones.
Medical research has shown that the development of breast tissue depends on the delicate balance of progesterone, estrogen, prostaglandins, prolactin and other compounds. An imbalance of these hormones can result in poor breast development or even atrophy (decrease in size).
Phytoestrogens are a group of substances found in plants that have moderate estrogenic properties. The phytoestrogens compete for the same receptor cells as true estrogen. Phytoestrogens, through their natural balance of female hormones, promote the development of glandular breast tissue and act as a powerful natural breast enlargement factor. Most women taking herbs containing these phytoestrogens notice a significant increase in the fullness and balance of their breasts.
There are a number of herbs that have been promoted by different companies that contain good levels of phytoestrogens and have the action of promoting breast tissue growth and tone.
As said above If you want to learn how to make make your breasts grow bigger without the aid of any harmful or artificial substances visit http://breastenlargement.toptips.org
I hope it helps

Welcome to the joys of being a woman. The vast majority of women wear bras. The NHS should spend their money on people who really need care. People who have health problems. If it's an issue for you, get a job and pay for it privately!!

They won't accept you as there is nothing wrong with you. Almost all women - 99.9999999% - have to wear a bra. Why should you be any different. Anyway you are too young. Let the NHS spend its money on people who are sick, not those who spend too much time looking at stupid fashion mags.
