NHS told me lose weight now my breasts hang to my waist. Why won’t NHS help with the effects of weight loss

I lost a lot of weight (stones), as was advised to by NHS Doctor. However, now I am more unhappy, than when I was very obese. My breasts never came down in size from (42D) with the weight loss, and now hang with extra skin, down to my waist. I have to lift them up to get into a bra and bathe underneath them. They are very heavy and can be painful, and hang out of most bras. I sought NHS help but have been turned down twice. I feel very angry as it was through the NHS advice that I lost all the weight. Why won’t the NHS help with the aftermath of gross weight loss? Excercise has not helped my breasts. I often feel like cutting off my own breasts. I’m 37 and desperate. I would even be a guinea pig for a trainee plastic surgeon to practice on. I’m not vein and not wanting surgery for cosmetic reasons, but because my breasts are ruining my life. I cannot afford private treatment, so that is not an option.
Thanks for all your help. I DID however, work out like mad, but I was told that no amount of excercise will tighten my breasts, as although no smaller, they are mostly just loose skin now.

sometimes your local mp can help with things like that,or at least help you find people who can help..good luck and i hope u do find somewhere or someone that can help.

  3. Breast surgery for reducing the size & weight is not a uncommon thing these days. try NHS as first priority but you can find doctors in your local area who provide these services …. ir just try the net and you will find a list of medical practitioners list to take advice from..these procedures are specifically targteted at people who have dicomofort in their public life due to un porportinate body size…..try it good luck
