Implants.

How can women get enhanced breast and calf implants on the NHS, but people can't get dental implants which in my opinion are more important?

 

Can they get them on nhs? I'd have thought not.

People are dieing because they can't get treatments on nhs so doing implants on nhs would be scandalous.

 

wouldn't suprise me in this country....bunch a tits running it

hth

 

I think if a doctor recommends it as treatment for a condition, yes they can.

I think if its done on the NHS it's if they can state the person is clinically depressed or similar?

 

But yet some can't get cancer treatments to prolong their life? Surely that causes more depression than having no/small breasts?

Agree with reev, country being run by absolute tits.

 

I bet they're all big enhanced ones as well.....

 

It's true, a woman can get breast reductions or enhancements for health or psychological reasons. It's hit the headlines recently and it's something the NHS must address in my opinion.

 

The vast majority of breast implants on the NHS are due to reconstruction after a mastectomy. There's very few reasons why cosmetic surgery would ever be done.

 

Tits cheer me up no end

 

NHS breast implants are a post mastectomy process as it's been shown that some women can suffer from depression and acute anxiety post op. NHS implants are not there to lift the quality threshold of your trophy wife.

 

Sorry didn't see this.

 

You must love this forum...

 

Of those who are getting cosmetic boob jobs on the NHS the NHS probably (correctly) reckon that quietly giving in to a few slappers will be less costly than fighting it all the way to Strasbourg where aforementioned slappers will inevitably try to invoke their human rights. On the other hand word of free dental implants will spread and cost a bomb.

 

Why is someone who lost their breast due to cancer a slapper?

 

I'm assuming he is referring to those who have work done for vanity reasons as slappers rather than those who have them as a result of having a mastectomy. I don't think anybody in the right mind would deny these women treatment.

 

The OP is a Tory twonk, and like most Tories he's is an idiot...there are minimal cosmetic procedures performed by the NHS.

So she had a medical condition that meant she had no breast tissue. And was given the surgery following the psychological impact of that on her as an individual.

 

Are you sure it wasn't more to do with her choice of career?

 

I certainly wouldn't know from that article. What it does say is it was due to a medical condition and not simply someone wanting to go up a cup size or two. I appreciate there's an argument as to whether surgery for that condition is necessary but I suppose you could say the same for cleft lips, skin grafts for burns, wart removal and so on.

I've got two friends who had their ears pinned back as kids. They both say it changed their lives.

Just to add I'm not comparing any of the above with life saving health care, but I don't believe that alone should be the remit of the NHS. Others do and I respect that opinion.
