Reasons to Convince Your GP for a Breast Reduction?
I went to my GP today and told them that I want a breast reduction. I’ve told them that they are constantly annoying me, I have to spend enormous amount on money on bras, unwanted attention from males, and FEMALES. Also back ache. I don’t think they were convincing enough.
Any ideas on how to make it sound really bad? Can you think of a reason bad enough? I’ll lie all the way and put the most saddest act on. Any ideas on how they might affect my mental health?
Thank you.
Please no comments like ‘I’d kill to have big boobs’ and ‘you’re so lucky’ because the grass is not greener on the other side, trust me. If I had to change one thing about myself, I think that would be it. I’d kill to be a B. At least you girls can wear anything you want, including a bikini.

~~Your insurance will not cover this without objective proof. You need to speak with your doctor more on the back problems, insurance doesn’t care about mental health problems. If your doctor can request authorization because of physical problems (like the back aches) then it could go through.~~
Wow, what more could you say to convince them? I would think back problems, unwanted attention and buying special bras would be enough. Go to another doctor.
In the UK there are fairly strict guidelines about who is eligible for breast reduction surgery on the NHS. This may vary between different areas, or Primary Care Trusts, as they are known. The criteria generally include having a body mass index of less than 30 (as people who are significantly overweight will usually have proportionately large breasts and people in this group may be helped simply by weight loss).
Simply having large breasts is not in itself an indication for surgery – I’m GP and am a 34G but very happy with mine, apart from when trying to run in the gym. I have had patients with breasts much smaller than mine coming in asking for reductions, and it has been obvious that the reason they are getting discomfort is that they are wearing completely the wrong sized bra (not that I am saying this necessarily applies in your case). Making sure that you have a properly fitting bra will make a big difference, but if you have significant back pain then you can always ask to be referred for an opinion from a breast surgeon – they will tell you if they feel you have a case. They normally will not operate unless they can remove around 500g of tissue from each breast.
It’s not something to take lightly – most women who have had reductions cannot breastfeed and there is always a chance that the breasts may enlarge as a result of future pregnancy.
I would not recommend lying to your GP but I’d suggest going back to see them and ask politely for a referral to the breast clinic to see a surgeon – ultimately the decision will be down to the surgeon and to the local policy, and if you are not eligible on the NHS then you may have to consider private treatment.
