Could i get the surgery on the NHS in the UK as I'm pretty sure I have tuberous breasts? (Photos)

Question

i’m pretty sure i have tuberous breasts and i’m very insecure about it, it’s affecting me in many ways. I cant afford surgery and i don’t know what to do because it’s taking a toll on my mental health. Could i get the surgery on the NHS in the UK?

Leila Kasrai, MD, FRCSC · Answer

Tubular breasts are characterized by constriction of tissue around the nipples and an indistinct breast fold. There may also be areola puffiness. You don’t appear to display these traits, therefore your breasts are most likely not tuberous. Cosmetic breast surgery can be considered if you’d like to reshape your breasts and/or make them bigger, however it would most likely not be covered by NHS.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

Your breasts are not tuberous but widely separated and pointing outward.  You will probably not be cover by NHS.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.
