Nhs Breast Augmentation

Leading UK Weight Loss Hypnotherapy expert Claire Hegarty says the NHS should introduce Hypnotherapy and Gastric Band Hypnotherapy to help patients to lose weight.

Gastric Band Operations cost the NHS a great deal of money each year but is the NHS wasting the public money by using surgery to help people with their weight loss dreams. A leading UK Weight Loss Hypnosis expert called Claire Hegarty feels the NHS are wasting millions each year on gastric band operations when they could offer a more cost effective and safer solution in the form of Gastric Band Hypnotherapy which would help more people each year than the NHS are currently helping.

Gastric band operations, which are also called Gastric Bypass Surgery, became well known after former This Morning presenter Fern Brittan finally admitted that her drastic reduction in weight was down to the surgery.

Although its true the operations have become successful in helping people to lose weight it has also come under fire for the complications that can be involved in the surgery. That is why leading health experts from around the world have said that the gastric bypass surgery should be a last resort when it comes to losing weight.

Complications involved in the gastric bypass surgery can affect up to 80% of people who go under the knife to lose weight and the complications have become so serious that it has even resulted in the death of patients.

Claire Hegarty who offers free advice and free consultations on how weight loss hypnotherapy can help people to lose weight feels the NHS could save a great deal of money if they started offering their patients who wish to reduce their body weight, weight loss hypnotherapy which is more cost effective than the gastric bypass surgery and is 100% safe.

At the moment there are strict guidelines on who and who cannot have the gastric band operation to lose weight, meaning millions of people each year are missing out on their dreams of having a healthier body.

The gastric band bypass operation costs the NHS on average 8,500 and this does not include the costs involved if the patients suffer from complications. If the NHS used weight loss hypnotherapy, which is also called Gastric Band Hypnotherapy, then they would be able to treat far more patients than they already do.

It is a well known and documented fact that the UK has a serious obesity problem and this obesity problem does not only result in the shortness of life it also results in a huge burden on the NHS with health related problems such as heart diseases and asthma.

Claire Hegarty who offers a 100% success rate with her weight loss hypnotherapy technique called Transband which comes with a full guarantee for long lasting weight loss results would like to see the NHS replace Gastric Band Operations and instead introduce weight loss hypnotherapy in all hospitals around the UK to make the UK a healthier and better society.

The Weight Loss Hypnotherapy expert feels by replacing Gastric Band Operations with Weight Loss Hypnotherapy that it would not only allow the NHS to reduce the cost on the NHS when it comes to helping overweight people to lose weight, but it would also save the NHS millions of pounds in the long run with less people needing treatment which is caused by being overweight.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    NHS breast augmentation in UK?
    Has anyone in the UK had breast augmentation/ englargement on the NHS becausr of having very small or under developed breasts?

    • ANSWER:
      It is very rare to get this operation on the nhs today, I had a friend who was turned down and she was totally flat, not even breast buds and tho i feel desperately sorry for her I would think it wrong to give her the op while an old man became crippled waiting for a hip replacement.

      If you are desperate then consider surgery abroad, its cheaper.

  2. QUESTION:
    NHS breast augmentation?
    Breast augmentation on the nhs
    hi everyone, i have recently been to see my gp about the saggyness of my boobs, even writing this on here is very brave for me. i am 18 and have always had big boobs since i started puberty (D and above) i have always been terribly self conscious about the appearance of my breasts and have never let anyone see them since i before puberty (not even my mum or sister). i have always thought that i would have to change them some way or another i just didnt know what to do. i recently plucked up the courage to talk to my mum about going to see a gp about them. she told me that she had always known how unhappy i was because of them. they have stopped me getting in any form of relationship. i arranged an appointment with my gp. i burst into tears and explained how unhappy i am about them, he decided not to look and to refer me to a breast specialist to examine me and decide. i saw my gp a week ago and have already received a letter for my appointment with the surgeon in another week, which was surprisingly quick.

    i was just wondering if anyone could tell me what to expect from this examination by the specialist and whether i have already been accepted for the surgery, or whether it is up to the surgeon to decide next week?

    thankyou for any replies.

  3. QUESTION:
    Question about NHS Breast Augmentation?
    I was wondering if anyone could help me regarding breast augmentations. I do not know the first thing about where to go to talk to about this, and I'm so insecure about this I don't feel comfortable asking anybody close to me.
    Could I go to my gp and talk to him about it, and if anyone has any experience with this any kind of information would be greatly appreciated. I heard breast augmentations can be carried out free on the NHS, is this the case?
    My breasts are asymmetrical, I really do not care much for a bigger breast size so I would be fine with a breast reduction, plus change in nipple size and realignment.
    Also, I'm 18 years of age, would I be able to go about this without telling anyone? I don't feel comfortable talking to anyone about this (including my mother or sisters.)

  4. QUESTION:
    Breast Augmentation - NHS?
    Hi
    Has anyone had a breast augmentation on the NHS?
    If so how long did the process take from the 1st letter from your doctor referring you to actually getting the treatment? and how long did it take you to get an appointment to see the consultant to tell you if you are suitable for treatment on the NHS?

    I went to my doctors today and she will be writing a letter in the next week to refer me to the NHS. Just thought I'd ask on here if anyone has had a BA on the NHS

    Thanks
    Even if there is a difference between sizes on each side (like a whole cup size?) ?

    What do you think would happen now? As I've been referred? Will I stil get an appointment through? If I get a consultation wil they tell me on the day if I am suitable/unsuitable or will I have to wait for a letter to arrive telling me the results of the consultation?

    • ANSWER:
      I went to the doctor in February of this year about the difference between my breasts (2 cup sizes), and I was referred to the hospital within a month, and I had an operation arranged for August of this year (it would have been earlier but I had my GCSEs and then I was on holiday for 2 weeks). I then had a checkup a couple of weeks later and am due to go back in February again because I'll need them adjusting (I had one on either side so they could be made as symmetrical as possible). It all depends on your local NHS trust/hospital to be honest - apparently mine was very quick - but they will aim to get you seen as quickly as possible. As for suitability, they normally only do it if there's at least 2 cup sizes different, but if you really play up the fact that it's affecting your self esteem (even if it isn't), they'll probably be more sympathetic. Good luck, and if you have any more questions, feel free to email me

  5. QUESTION:
    Axilla breast tissue removal and breast augmentation NHS!?
    I have been refurred to a breast surgeon via my GP for removal of breast tissue under my armpit (Axilla) My PG informs me that this can be carried out on the NHS seeing as I have a large amount of tissue and also have milk ducts (underarm) that leak while i'm breast feeding! I am finished having children and am a young 31 year old, was wondering if anyone knows whether I would be considered for having a breast lift at the same time? I have struggled with getting bras to fit due to the extra breast tissue since puberty, if I wear one that 'fits' I have what looks like fat hanging out of my bra, if i buy a bra larger to also fit the extra breast tissue in, I have very little support, hence the need for a breast lift! I have really had enough of feeling like this and would like to be normal and wear sleeveless tops and feel confident to have a normal love life but looking like this prohibits so much, I would love to get married but feel the photos would be spoiled by having to wear a dress to cover this problem... any info would be very much appreciated please

    • ANSWER:
      Hi - if the NHS did agree to a breast reduction/uplift, it would not be likely that both surgical procedures would be carried out at the same time; an uplift is a major operation and will require the breasts to be settled and 'normal' prior to surgery.

      The NHS favours breast reductions for women who have extremely large (abnormal) breasts which has led to back problems; this does not seem to include you as what you are talking about is cosmetic - you are worried about your appearance.

      The axilla tissue removal will enable you to wear bras more successfully, so the worries about your flaccid breasts is a separate cosmetic issue.

      Your breasts may have loss their tone due to having had children and breast-fed them, or weight fluctuations; this is normal and would not qualify you for a free NHS breast uplift.

      If you do decide to have an uplift, do everything you can to read up on this invasive operation. The scarring is quite horrendous and the scars take years to fade; even then they are obvious and visible. Nipple sensation can be lost and the thick scars have no feeling in them. It is not an op to be taken lightly.

      You can only talk to your Doctor about this, but I doubt very much that a free uplift would be available to you.

      Good luck with your forthcoming op.

  6. QUESTION:
    Breast augmentation on the nhs?
    I recently went to the doctors enquiring about having assymetrical breasts (one larger than the other) and she referred me to a plastic surgeon for a consultation to have one on the nhs. Just wondering if anyone knows If I were to pass all the tests, what operation would they be likely to perform- either two different size implants or just one implant in the smaller side? Thanks x

    • ANSWER:
      One implant in the smaller side - Or a reduction in the larger side - I was offered this and even had the appointment in stoke but lost my bottle and couldn't go through with it! - To be honest I'm glad I didn't know I always worried it may interfere with the ability to breast feed and the doctors said there is a 50/50 chance of being able to breast feed after the op!
      Good Luck with whatever you decide!

  7. QUESTION:
    breast augmentation on nhs?

    • ANSWER:
      I believe this can be done on the NHS, but only if you have a very good reason for wanting it, I think they send you to a counsellor first to establish if you are suitable to have it on the NHS. Consult your local GP.

  8. QUESTION:

  9. QUESTION:
    Breast Augmentation on the NHS?
    What reasons do the NHS allow people to have boob jobs?
    Speaking from experience?

    :)

    • ANSWER:
      They will only allow you to get breast enlargement if a psychiatrist deems that your mental health is severely suffering from your self esteem and only after they have tried every other method. It is difficult to get and a very lengthy process.

  10. QUESTION:
    Will the NHS pay for my breast augmentation?
    I have one breast which is a DD cup and one which is a B at a push. The smaller breast has always been slightly smaller, but over the years, its just got worse.

    I've tried taking the pill, not being on the pill, breast exercises, losing weight and gaining weight but nothing makes a difference. It's getting worse the older I get and i'm only 22.

    It gets me really down and I already suffer from manic depression. I hate my body and am embarrased to take my clothes off in front of anyone.

    What are the chances of the NHS agreeing to a boob job? I dont want to go massive, i just want both breasts to be a DD so they match.

    Thank you.

    • ANSWER:
      Sounds reasonable to me,wonder would they give me a bigger nob.14 inches is not enough.Ha.

  11. QUESTION:
    advice on trying for a breast enlargement through NHS being as flat chested as i am,anyone help plz?
    this is not james as it is his profile that this has been posted on.....if anyone could advise me on any ins and outs about applying for a breast augmentation through the NHS,as i have no chest to talk about and to cut a long story short it effects every aspect of my life ie; socializing,relationship,kids activities(swimming),work etc

    thank you

    • ANSWER:
      Why do you what boobs...they are a pain in the back. Literally!

      I have "C fun bags" and they are a great annoyance at times...

      If you are sett in your ways, talking to your family doctor for a referral is a good place to start (waiting list is shorter I hear) but that likely depends greatly on where you live!

  12. QUESTION:
    Breast implants on the NHS?
    Hi :)
    How easy is it to get breast augmentation surgery on the NHS? I really want implants but as im a poor 19 year old law student, I can't afford it right now. My boyfriend doesn't want me to do it because hes worried about the inherent risks involved with surgery but i REALLY want this.
    I'm only 5'4'' and size 6 so this is why I haven't been blessed with the breasts I would love ....i mean theyre okay ...a small 32 B-cup
    If I went to see my doctor about this do you think he would listen to me?
    And also...anyone who has had it done? is the pain unbearable?
    Thanks
    xxxx
    Thanks for the good advice!
    However for the people who say get a job and dont waste taxpayers money because im not paying any tax...My parents have to pay an absolute fortune on income tax and capital gains just because they're successful. When I qualify as a barrister I'll be in the highest income tax bracket whilst your probably going to be doing the same job you did when you were 18 so don't be so condescending towards people who are trying to get qualifications for a *good* job.

    • ANSWER:
      Get a job & save up for it. The NHS's money is better spent on sick people. For example, people who have cancer, they need the money more than you do. Breast implants should not be available on the NHS.

      Edit - If you're parents are paying higher taxes then they can afford to buy you some new boobies. Or you could buy some yourself when you get your "good" job.

  13. QUESTION:
    would it be possible to get ffs on the NHS?
    I know The NHS fund hrt and grs and on the rare occasion breast augmentation. I'm currently 16 and femminsh looking boy. However, various part of my face really upset me as all i see is boy. All I want done is a nose job trachea shave and permenant lip augementation.

    • ANSWER:
      I don't think that's covered. I think only therapy, HRT and SRS are. Maybe Diane will chime in later, she lives in the UK and used the NHS for her transition.

      edit: I understand your frustration, however, wait until you start hormone replacement therapy (HRT). HRT WILL cause facial changes and those changes may be enough that you'll feel better about yourself.

      Patience young Padawan.

      edit: You said: "All I want done is a nose job trachea shave and permenant lip augmentation"

      Sorry I missed this before. If that's all you want than that's not FFS. Classic FFS is altering the underlying bone structure of your face so that it look more like it should have as well as soft tissue workl A menu of FFS includes:

      Scalp advance to lower and shape your hairline ( soft tissue work usually only done on transsexual women)

      Re-contouring of the forehead (bone work!).

      Brow lift (soft tissue work)

      Cheek implants to make cheeks more prominent

      Rhinoplasty (both bone and soft tissue work)

      Reduction of length between upper lift and bottom of nose. (soft tissue work)

      Lip augmentation (soft tissue work)

      Chin implant to make chin more prominent is your is small.

      Lower jaw genioplasty: Removal of bone from jaw to make it smaller.

      Lower jaw re-contouring: Reshaping jaw to make it more feminine appearing.

      And more.

      People do the ones they need. Anywho, wait for HRT to do it's work before deciding on FFS.

  14. QUESTION:
    Going to see a psychiatrist / psychologist about getting a breast agumentation on the nhs?
    I'm scared to death of saying or behaving in a way that will make the psychiatrist think I don't need a breast augmentation even though I have been psychologically affected by my small deformed breasts ever since they first developed.

    The problem is I'm not an emotional person even though I am depressed about my breasts, I find it very hard to oped up, I'm scared encase the psychiatrist wont be unsympathetic if I don't cry about it and wont think that surgery will be my best option.

    Should I just be honest and tell him/her that i'm not emotional?
    I meant will be unsympathetic if i don't cry.

    • ANSWER:
      just talk to them about how you feel about your breasts. don't hold back and don't feel like you have to impress them or something. they'll do their job right if it's a good doctor.

    how do you feel about breast augmentation for the right reason?
    my surgery was corrective, not cosmetic, but still involved implants i have only gone from a small b cup to a c/d cup, so they still look completly natural, even feel it. i did spend 18 mths in therapy to make sure i was mentaly right for it before i went under the knife but there was no getting away from the fact i had one bigger than the other, & was very fortunate that after appeals i won the nhs to do it, what are your opoinons on this type of surgery.... it was not for vanity only correction
    32a is perfect if your happy

    • ANSWER:

    NHS non surgical procedure for someone with Body dysmorphia ? pleasehelp x?
    I'm from the Uk, Plymouth and I have heard about Girls having breast augmentations and lipo etc on the NHS for free because it was causing them undue stress and they were unable to function in everyday life. I am 19 almost 20 and I have had severe depression, anxiety disorders and bdd since I was 16. I have a major problem with my eyes/skin and hair. So much so that im on paroxetine because of feeling suicidal because of the things I just said I wear a hood over my face 24/7 and hardly venture out unless i'm with someone, i left school before i sat my gcses and was refered to a psychiatric under 18 unit this problem I have totally causes me stress! in my life and wanting to kill myself most times i'd pay as much as I could towards it (the procedure/s needed)

    If i new my skin looked better and I could afford to keep my colour lenses I'd be able to try and overcome my other fears and get a well paid job to Afford these things myself. Who do I talk to about this ? , ive tryed creams and stuff people outside usually laugh at me when I say how much this is destressing me :( why won't they help me ?.

    • ANSWER:
      Hi Jade

      Firstly , get back to your GP and ask for a referral to a dermatologist .This will help you establish whether or not there is an actual physiological problem with your skin and hair . If they find there there is no underlying problem then you may well be suffering from " Delusional Dysmorphophobia " .This is the same as BDD in many aspects but the problems only exist in your own mind .Secondly ,If this transpires to be the case then only a good shrink will be able to help you overcome your fear of yourself and you must ask your doctor to arrange for a referral to them also.If on the other hand there is a problem that the derm can treat then you are likely to feel less stressed and anxious once a treatment program to sort things out is underway .Good luck and best wishes .

  20. QUESTION:
    In a recession should some surgical procedures be limited or put to the back of the queue?
    Given that there will need to be cutback in public spending, including the NHS, should certain operations be given a back seat? For example obesity related operations such as gastric bands and cosmetic procedures that are non-life-threatening, eg breast augmentation or tummy tucks.

    Your views please.

    • ANSWER:
      If it comes down to personal accountability, say surgery for obesity; yes why should the NHS continue to bail-out those with lousy willpower, at the expense of everyone else?
      Alcoholics & drug addicts should be placed at the back of the queue too, along with smokers, THEY KNOW it's a killer & if they chose to abuse their body, why should the NHS pick up the pieces?
      I pay into the system like everyone else & find when I need medical help;
      lazy, selfish, obese, drunks, smokers, not to mention others draining the NHS, the health-tourists, migrants/immigrants, friends & family of healthcare professionals who have all got in there first!
      My GP tells me he's seeing more & more illnesses/diseases that are purely caused by life-style choices, when they are treated at great expense to the NHS, they go straight back to abusing themselves, content in the knowledge the NHS isn't allowed to turn them away.
      It bothers him but what can he do other than hand out leaflets, give good advice & hope these people see sense?
      I'm waiting for the drunks to declare the same cop-out as smokers;
      " they've paid their tax for their health care & if everybody gave up drinking tomorrow the economy would collapse "!

  22. QUESTION:
    Government: should health migrants be given non essential surgery on our NHS?
    drugs to help ease the suffering of cancer patients are regular denied to the patients due to the price, drugs that give a better quality of life. most just get pain relief drugs to spend their last days doped out of their heads. its been estimated that 12,000 health migrants from the new member states of the EU mostly the former eastern bloc countries have benefited from our NHS in the last 3 years. non essential operations ranging from breast augmentation to penis enlargement nose jobs face lifts and teeth re-alignment have been provided free to people who have paid nothing into our system from overseas. thats a sweet deal isnt it? pay nothing now pay nothing later just because your husband or wife worked in britain for 6 months for full operations when the natives have to wait 5 years for a hip replacement. i have scared cartilage on my kneecaps would i get priority treatment in poland even though were all in the eu?

    • ANSWER:
      I know, it is totally ridiculous, but thats what you get if you vote labour. They are spineless, and I as a 14 year old will suffer financially in the future because too much money has been invested in the NHS, and not enough money in training people properly and I dont mean to be rude, but since we are i na bit of a state ourselves our money should come back to us!

  23. QUESTION:
    Anyone who has had breast surgery/know someone close to you who has?
    im 19 and have a condition with my boobs which i looked up online and the pictures match how mine look so i know its the same, ive always HATED them they dont look round like other girls, they look weird in underwear/bathing suits and i cry about it alottt-which may seem pathetic to you but i dont feel womanly etc..

    anyway i read in loads of places online that i can get the surgery done on the NHS as it isnt cosmetic, it affects my life/mental heath and its actually known as a '...breast deformity'

    ive never had any type of surgery and i have a phobia of needles, but i will do anything to get rid of these ugly things!!

    i just wanted to know how you felt before and after any breast augmentation you have been through, or if you have a sister/girlfriend, how she acted or said it felt. any more info would be great x
    erm i wasnt asking IF i can get it done..re read the question!

    im pretty sure i will be able to get it done on the NHS coz im been looking online and my case is the same as the other 10-15 girls cases ive read and they all got it done by goin to ther GP first and gettin referred like im planning to.

    • ANSWER:
      You may be able to have the surgery on the NHS but there's no guarantee,if it's effecting your mental health you should see your Dr.for a referral to a specialist & they will tell you if it's possible.I have known cancer patients who have had it done but that's totally different that's more need than necessity.I hope it helps.Good Luck.
      ADD:I have read your statement again,&the latter question& answered accordingly to any more info would be great.If what I said wasn't the answer you wanted I am truly sorry,but what I said was the truth only a specialist can say yes or no each case is different.I wish you the bestest luck.

  24. QUESTION:
    is anyone else finding the NHS is worse the last 2 years?
    I went into hospital and I was in a ward full of people who had been diagnosed with something, gallstones, breast cancer, amongst other things and I was finding every one of us was sent away to be put on a waiting list.

    I've had a problem with my shoulder for 18 months. I keep getting diagnosed without anyone looking at it, frozen shoulder, muscle problems. Now after nearly 2 years someone looked at it and said it's likely to be a tear and my shoulder is unstable, so now I'm getting an MRI but origianally I was told it was too expensive.

    I've known people with Breast Cancer who were on a 2 year waiting list, but there were people with breast augmentations going in within a month or two. My dad had heart surgery (his main artery was blocked) and he was told it was likely if he hadn't have gone private he would have died.

    Is anyone else finding the same, or am i just meeting unlucky people

    • ANSWER:
      I'm a little torn with this question, as whilst I agree the NHS has gotten worse over the last few years, it isn't for the reasons you describe. With regards to life threatening conditions such as cancer heart disease, things have improved, and your story of someone with breast cancer waiting 2 years is exceptionally uncommon.
      What people have to remember is that the NHS is a "free" service, paid for with tax payers money. In that respect, there is unfortunately a cap on the service it can provide. This means non-life threatening conditions like your own are pushed aside, as they do not fall under set targets. Moreover, due to government demands, the NHS has gone through an unprecedented amount of change over 5 years. This means a lot of resources have been diverted from patient care and into management services and salaries, as well as changing the training structure of doctors. This is the main reason the NHS is currently failing, as disillusioned staff are no longer willing to go that extra mile, instead working to rule. Ultimately the caring atmosphere has gone, and general patient care has been sacrificed for a target driven approach. Sadly, good staff are leaving the service, and this is reflected in the horrendous retention rates of staff across all the medical disciplines.

  25. QUESTION:
    compensation for cosmetic surgery?
    my breast augmentation didn't go to plan and i am still very unhappy with the way i look i had revision surgery done after the initial op but this still didn't help ive seen the same procedure done on many other women and their outcome seems considerable better than mine even the ones done by NHS , i paid £6'500 for my op and wondered if anybody knows weather im entitled to any compensation.

    • ANSWER:
      Most likely you signed a release form and you will not be entitled to any compensation. Get a referral and go to another doctor.

  26. QUESTION:
    Plastic surgery opinions - URGENT thank you.?
    I am doing a poll and have a question -
    Do you think plastic surgery such as breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, liposuction and weight loss procedures such as a gastic band, should be available on the NHS?

    Please state why.

    Thank you.

    • ANSWER:
      In Mexico gastric band surgery is covered under public health insurance because of the obvious health benefits from losing weight. If you lose weight, you reduce the chances of being diabetic, hypertensive and less chances of getting a cardiovascular disease that are expensive to treat and control. It's just cheaper to get someone operated once.

      Liposuction isn't covered because it doesn't carry any hard health benefits in the long run. You're only removing subcutaneous fat, abdominal fat stored in the peritoneum is still there which carries far more weight in causing metabolic syndrome anyways. Sometimes if the surgeon likes you a lot and the equipment is available, a doctor might do some liposuction along with another surgery that is covered by the insurance.

      All of the other surgeries above are covered by public health insurance if the person got mutilated in the face in the first place: cancer, traumatic injury that causes disfigurement or birth defect. Septal nose defects are covered, but rhinoplasty isn't unless there's a real medical basis for it.

      The reason why these operations for optional cosmetic reasons aren't included is partially because there's so little money available, it's more important to cover the surgeries that the population seriously needs to live. Plus, people would start to abuse the good will of taxpayer money.
