Braest reductions...

Can you get them on the nhs?

Former Member

Yes, but it's pretty unusual.

Being a bloke, I don't really know that much about breast reductions (but plenty about breasts). I think I'm right in saying that you can only get them done on the NHS if their size is causing damage to your health ie. putting unecessary strain on your back. If it's just for cosmetic reasons, then not a chance.

you can only get them on the NHS if you can prove its affecting your phyical health, ie bad back or bad posture etc, or if them being so big is affecting you mentally - you ahve to talk to a psychologist/counsellor and prove to them that they're seriously affecting your self confidence or giving you other body issues them being that big - but they wont just give you a reduction because you're unhappy - it ahs to be really affecting you.

Thought as much. Thought i'd check though.

I suppose it does affect me quite a bit, because i am really self conscious. My self esteem is low anyway, and it just doesn't help that i constantly worry about the way i look.

That's not really the kind of thing. It's really only for people who the only/main issue is their breasts, rather than low self esteem and confidence with their overall appearance.

Remember that a fair chunk of the female population would kill to have a chest like yours!

Get yourself some nice bras, it's worth hunting around a bit to get nice and well fitting ones and life may start to seem a tiny bit better.
