Paying for Breast Enlargement (Breast Implants)


Find Breast Implants Clinics in London & UK »

Cosmetic surgery of any kind does not come cheap. But gone are the days when breast enlargement surgery was merely limited to the rich and famous. Although the total sum may seem very high, you can’t put a price on quality and safety, which is what the best clinics and surgeons provide. Many clinics and surgeons will offer a repayment scheme, so you can spread the cost over a period of time, making it more affordable. If you have a good credit rating you could also be eligible for a loan from a bank or building society.

NHS Breast Augmentation

Obtaining cosmetic surgery on the NHS is very difficult, especially if you can’t offer a genuine medical reason for needing it. Breast enlargements are considered a low priority compared to patients who are suffering from medical illnesses, although some women claim they endure psychological and emotional stress at not being able to change their appearance when they feel it’s absolutely necessary.


If you feel your personal appearance is causing severe depression even after you have exhausted every other avenue, you can be examined by a psychiatrist. If he/she agrees your suffering could lead to the deterioration of your mental health and it’s possible for the surgical procedure to correct this, then it may increase your chances of receiving cosmetic surgery on the NHS.

Contact your GP for advice. He or she should have an idea on the local health authority’s guidelines and what requirements you need to meet before they would consider funding surgery.

Try talking to the person closet in your life and ask how your small chest size and appearance affects them. Breast enlargement surgery isn’t always the answer and could have complications. However, it should ultimately be your choice and if you do decide breast enlargement is for you, be assertive, confident and optimistic when trying to meet the cost or attempting to get help from elsewhere.

Cosmetic surgery could be cheaper abroad, but be careful of countries that don’t follow tight regulations. You will also have to take into account the traveling and accommodation expenses, plus someone will probably have to travel with you to help during the recovery period.
