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. The NHS will not perform breast augmentation surgery for cosmetic reasons alone. 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.

How can one get a non surgical breast reduction done?
For someone to qualify for free breast reduction you should contact the NHS. The NHS only provide this service if your condition is causing you pain or illness.
Huge lump in your breast and been told that the nhs will remove it as you are not happy will they put inplants in your breast if you ask them to?
Yes, but it will delay surgery as they have to get the PCT to aprove funding for the implant ( £1000+) Get it all moving quickly, as you want the lump out. But...........seriously think long and hard about implants. I had them done and have had very bad health since. Bed ridden somedays :(
Can you have all your teeth removed on the NHS?
All treatment that is clinically necessary is available on NHS. Dental implants and even braces are covered but only if there is a medical need for them. NHS does not include cosmetic treatment so the implant must be essential to preserve good oral health.
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. When it is a health benefit it is important for NHS to support plastic surgery, it's when it is purely about a person wanting to change how they look for vanity sake that NHS shouldn't pay.
Can you get breast enlargement on the nhs?

They will ask a lot of personal straight forward questions to see your true reasons.
