Nhs 'boob Jobs'..

Right. I'm sorry, but I thought the NHS was on it's knees and struggling?

This young lady had her breasts enlarged, at a cost of £4800, because being flat-chested was "ruining her life and causing emotional upset".

What?!!

Er... I'm not overly confident about the nose I was born with. Do you reckon I could go and see my GP and get them to sort it out for free?
I'm also not very happy with the tops of my thighs, and how they don't have that sought-after 'gap'. Do you reckon the NHS would pay for me have lipo, as it causes me emotional upset when I have to wear a swimsuit?

Apparently she is now going to pursue her dream and become "the next Katie Price". Good luck to her if she can achieve that, but should the NHS be forking out for this? I think not.

"would anyone be complaining here if she was just a normal average looking girl just wanting to look more 'normal' and the boobs were now just 36C or something ... and she had no intention of glamour modelling?

Her boobs are now 36DD. Not a huge difference.
And yes, I would still be "complaining".

"Its just because she wanted massive ones"

They're not "massive". The bra size isn't the point.

"what if she had been born with something else, 'non essential' no ears?"

You don't think ears are essential....?

[emmie]

still a waste of money, breast enlargements shouldn't be done on the NHS, if you want them, pay for them.

[MadMen]

Exactly! 'large breasts' are not a god given right. You get what you're given and, if you're not happy with that, sort it out yourself.

[Smowball]

Utter waste of money MM,dont you think.

[joko]

... i meant the outer lobe bit ...

[emmie]

i can understand women who have massive breasts that are causing them distress, severe back problems, so have them reduced, but cosmetic surgery is not on in this case, daft girl.

[baza]

ears are very essential, how else can you wear glasses, big boobs are vanity, defo a baywatch back and crimewatch front.

[joko]

if she'd had a double mastectomy and so had nothing there at all, then had implants, then would people feel the same?

this is a weird situation, because on one hand i think vanity ops should not be funded on the NHS - and this was a vanity op - but at what point does vanity become acceptable?

if she had no outer ears - could hear perfectly ok - but had no outer ears - would a prosthetic piece be given on the NHS?
isn't that 'technically' vanity?
because she can live and function without them ... but its not very nice is it, to just have holes in the side of your head?
to look 'weird'.

i also think the docs must have thought she fitted the criteria - i don't think this is a case where she just said "please please pretty please" and they said "oh ok then" ... they must have felt she qualified.


i think she seems a rather unpleasant person, the way she is now gloating about it , making a mockery of a system that sought to help her - but i think this is all part of her 'master' plan, to become a household name, to get her pics in papers etc.
she wants a outcry to get people talking. its working.

she is nowhere near katie price, and will never achieve her fame - but because of this idiotic stunt she will probably become like KP in a way she probably hadn't counted on - publicly hated and vilified and viewed as a horrible joke by many many people.
sad really, that anyone would aspire to that.

Hmm... just watched the video... and saw a photo of her with this so-called 'zero percent breast tissue' ...

i was expecting her to be utterly flat - like a child - like they have never even started to grow ... but she clearly has breasts there, small but there are breasts ... i have seen smaller than them too.

I did state earlier that even with this so-called medical condition, she should have paid herself really, as its not an 'essential' op - but now i am even more definite that she should have paid herself - i am amazed the docs agreed - she clearly has 'some' boobs!

i understood,when i thought she was totally flat, as she was claiming.

i am not sure what this 'congenital condition' is but i'd like to hear from the doc who thought very small boobs are a 'condition'!

If we're going to campaign against the NHS paying for cosmetic surgery to correct underdeveloped breasts, perhaps we should campaign against the far far bigger costs caused to the NHS by men who want to become women. Such sex-change operations are much more dangerous and much much more expensive, and only done to satisfy a "want" , not a true medical need.

[askyourgran]

Her situation was not life threatening or to augment the loss of her breasts through cancer. If it was absolutely necessary to do the op the NHS should have provided her with a normal breast size not pneumatic sized breasts which she may later regret. It is obvious that this is what she asked for,,, to look like a glamour model, unfortunately the rest of her is wanting. What a waste of money.

It beggars belief. You sometimes wonder what planet folk live on.
