Breast Reduction in Turkey?

Research, research, and research again. My friend has had several procedures done abroad ( not your one) all successful.

Me too!

I’d like to know if anyone’s had any dental work in Turkey or Hungary? I suppose I ought to start a new thread for this.

Is Turkey the leading country in the field of aesthetic surgery or are they the cheapest? (I don’t know, genuinely).

I don’t want Lefty and Righty reduced, in Turkey or anywhere else.

And if something goes wrong, which it often does according to the online news, then sorting it out is another drain on the NHS.

and me! I thought it was a thread about genetic engineering on Turkeys. No more arguing over the legs, you know that sort of thing. Sorry, as you were.

Not at all fair to go off overseas and then often need the NHS to put it right
Up to you of course my advise would be NO NO NO (and you did ask)

It's all very well for those who don't have massive boobs to say 'No', not fair on the NHS. But this surgery is no longer available on the NHS. My daughter is a L cup. Her breasts are enormous, naturally. When she was younger, she was offered the surgery on the NHS, but she wanted to wait until she'd had children.

Now, it is no longer available. Her back is constatly strained. She has gouges in her shoulders half an inch deep, from the pull of the bra straps. Her bras cost upwards of £40 and that isn't for a good one!

If the NHS doesn't do it, women have to go elsewhere.

I agree, Gagajo.
Do they not do this on the NHS on psychological grounds? They used to if it was causing distress, which it can as I can impact on someone's life in more ways than the physical ones.

I can see both points of view but the same can be said of private treatments here in the UK - if anything goes wrong then it's out of the private hospital and into the NHS hospital pdq.

it can impact ....

Under normal circumstances, I would say a definite no but I did not realise it was no longer done on the NHS.

You need to do a lot of research and also work out what you would do if anything goes wrong.

Gagajo I agree with Calistemon and what you describe is horrific and I am sure the surgery would/could be done under psychological grounds on the NHS.

They will still perform the operation on the NHS, Gagajo and, reading the criteria, I would have thought your DD would qualify.
Possibly the operations are on hold due to the backlog because of Covid but perhaps she could get on the waiting list.

It’s available in some areas Gagajo. It’s the local CCG that sets the eligibility criteria. I’m not sure if your daughter would be able to ask to be referred to a surgeon in another district.

She can ask for a second opinion.

Is your daughter's GP aware of how she feels? If not he or she should be to get the ball rolling. Try and get an appointment for late in the day when she feels at her worst!

I am surprised t he nhs no longer do breast reduction, I had this operation some years ago. There was a bmi criteria which I was on the wrong side of, only just, but after appealing their initial refusal they agreed to it. Absolutely no regrets.
As to Turkey I would hesitate in case there were problems with the standard of surgery and/ or a need to make claim on the nhs to rectify.
With an L cup ( which i had no idea even existed) and a reasonable bmi I am sure that this would be seen as a very necessary procedure. It makes a huge difference.

Thank you all for your comments. It is extremely difficult to get this on the NHS even though the stress on your back and shoulders is immense. Not to mention all the skin rashes. If I couldn't get my hip replacement on the NHS for years then this op would look very unlikely. I had to go private for that a £12000 operation and I could barely walk.

Sago. Thank you for that. Do you know of anyone who’s been or have anymore details?

Have you asked before about the dentistry in Hungary.
I know someone did and I gave them information about Hungary.
My friend had the most amazing work done in Istanbul about 3 years ago. And no, she doesn’t look like someone off Towie ? The work takes 4 days.
Her checkup was done in London 3 months later in London.
If I was younger I would have the work done in Bulgaria and combine the work with a holiday.
