Saw the front page of the sun today, it seems we now paying for chest enhancement? How long has that been vital to health?

[emmie]

i didn't stop to look at the paper whilst out shopping, but did catch the headline and wondered what it was about. Chest enhancement for women or men?

[DangerUXD]

neither should be done on the nhs for cosmetic reasons

[emmie]

agreed, however i wonder is there more to this story...

[woofgang]

no we aren't. I bet that is very far from the whole story...its in the Sun For Funks Sake

[emmie]

waste of money

Even if it is justified on medical grounds - deep depression, uneven breasts or whatever, why the need for such huge ones?

surely that could be a health risk in its own right? My daughter had to have hers reduced due to the weight causing back problems (Ironically one of my other daughters is flat a pancake!)

[B00]

with a boat race like that, they (NHS) probably thought she could do with all the help she could get.

Dear God, really don't want to be bitchy, but love a duck she's rough!

[youngmafbog]

can you go from flat to DD in one hit ?

And da Mail as well Woofy

i think that she wants to be the next Katie Price, aw bless x

[ummmm]

//why the need for such huge ones? //

36DD is not huge. It's the bra she's wearing that's making them look that big.

As pointed out down the bottom of the page by a contributer (assuming Sun readers ever manage more than 200 words)

This is normally done in the case of breast asymmetry - which of course is cosmetic.

What do we think of the NHS paying for corrections in such cases where someone has significant asymmetry

What about facial reconstruction where there has been damage?

Cosmetic doesn't always mean vanity

[DangerUXD]

yes you are quite right jake. I can go with fixing the lop sidedness and indeed reconstructive surgery but for pure vanity they can pay for their own. Even some of the psychological cases are worth evaluating but "I wanne be the next katie price" isn't a good enough reason. Besides I think in this case the boat will need a lot more work than the thrupneys!

[emmie]

pardon me, but it's a colossal waste of money, so she had a flat chest, better that than have breast cancer, where you are likely to have breast surgery to save your life.

[jake-the-peg]

I think em you're falling into the trap of taking the Sun's journalism at face value.

Before I decided about a particular case like this I think I'd want to hear from the Doctors that authorised it.

Remember this woman is getting paid for her story and without a doubt has been told what the story is they want to write.

[emmie]

perhaps, but this isn't an isolated case, what a waste of money at any rate.

[rockyracoon]

Jeez, my charlies were smaller than her before ones leading to my nickname of Dolly Parton, what a frigging waste of money and nothing that a decent pushup bra can't solve. If all the flatchesters were given boob jobs the country would be skint.

[baza]

did she get the hair dye and extensions on the NHS as well?

[Peter Pedant]

.

Personally I thought her eyebrows were a bit overdone
but everything else was OK

You can get cosmetic surgery on the NHS if you can persuade your GP you are suffering psychological distress without it.

I am surprised she has co operated with the media on this one.
I note photos, skimpy photies, baaaaarp ! Hooting photos
all of which could not be done without her help.

[emmie]

all the while the NHS is cutting back on mental health units, slashing units for vulnerable adults, but they can afford to give this dimwit surgery because her breasts weren't big enough, god almighty, i despair of their priorities.
