You may be lucky some health authorities will pay some consider it a cosmetic operation .I THINK LIKE WITH A LOT OF THINGS ON nhs IT IS A POSTCODE LOTTERY.But you sound as if you have a serious medical problem or will have soon .Speak to your GP and get him to refer you . I think you have a more pressing claim for a breast reduction than someone who has lost a few stone and need their boobs perked up. You are in pain and it is interfering with your every day life .If you don't ask you don't get so go for it i am sure it will improve your quality of life .

You can get a breast reduction on the NHS. The best way is to emphasise the fact that they are causing you a lot of back pain. Contrary to popular belief, you should not wait longer than 6 months for an operation.

I hear that getting qualified is a big PITA but it CAN BE DONE!
If you get denied, appeal as much as you can.
You can ask about others experiences with getting approved on the NHS in the breast reduction support forum here:

It sounds as though you would qualify for help on the NHS, but your GP should be able to help. See him/her first.

Yes you will but you will have to wait months for NHS treatment. And you might get a super bug what will rot your tit;;s off.
