A mastopexy surgical procedure (sometimes called a mammoplasty) is carried out in order to correct the size or elevation of the breasts. It is often done to correct the sagging of the breasts that may occur after breastfeeding, weight loss or just through increasing age.
All PCTs (NHS Primary Care Trusts) have different rules and criteria. Some will fund exceptional cases for mastopexy and some will not consider it at all. Abdominoplasty will be considered by most PCTs after a specific drop in BMI that has been maintained for a certain amount of time so it seems strange that mastopexy does not also come under these rules because a heavy weight loss can affect the breasts as much as it can affect the tummy. The best way to find out the answer is to check with your own PCT or GP.
