How to improve saggy breasts ? Plastic surgery ? Posted: 07-26-07 17:22pm
I am a young female and I have saggy
breasts. I know it is not normal for my
age and as a result I have extremely low
self esteem, especially when it comes to
men. I am wondering whether or not I would
be able to have an operation to uplift my
breasts on the NHS? If not, is there
anything I can do to help change them
without surgery? Thankyou for your time
and help.

Your breasts can be corrected only with
surgery. You can consult some plastic
surgeon about this. I'm not an expert on
the English medical system, but in my
country plastic surgeries are paid for by
Health insurance only if they are
medically indicated. Examples of medically
necessary procedures include the
reconstructive plastic surgeries that are
necessary after some injury or disease
(usually tumors). Aesthetic plastic
surgeries (enlarging or lifting the
breasts) are usually not paid by the
health insurance because they are usually
not medically indicated but only for asked
by the patents.
