Oh thank you B9! I doubt I’d get it on the NHS unfortunately (I work for the NHS so I know) and even if I did qualify, I’d probably have one foot in the grave before I could have it! Have decided to go private, I think it would be money well spent because the procedure would be life changing.

I am really proud of you, it will make such a difference to your life, and with your problems you should be able to get it free on the NHS. You are a very sane lady!

My boobs are making me miserable ? My BMI is around 22 and I wear a 32FF. I have deep shoulder grooves, intertrigo under one breast (because they sag) and neck and shoulder pain. It’s a pain finding clothes that fit and there are loads of things I can’t wear.

I wish I’d had a breast reduction ages ago but have now decided to go for it. I’m quite active with no known health issues and can’t bear the thought of possibly having to lug these things around for the next 20-30 years! Am I mad to be thinking about this procedure at my age and has anyone had one done later in life?
