Depends. If someone is suffering physically and mentally I think it should be. There has to be a individual evaluation of course.

Do you not think that the NHS should pay for cosmetic surgery?

I think that there are lots of examples of plastic surgery that the NHS should pay for - for example removal of moles that may become cancerous, breast implants for women who have lost theirs to cancer, labiaplasty for people who have long labia that cause pain, skin grafts for people who have been burned, surgery for people who have been involved in accidents.

Breast augmentation can be performed on the NHS only when there is some valid medical reason to justify it, such as an obvious size difference in the breasts or the patient is able to demonstrate that having small breasts is causing psychological problems.

What size of implants will be offered to a patient is dealt with on a case-by-case basis and there is no general rule about the size of implants on offer.
