Have any of you been able to have a breast uplift on the nhs following numerous pregnancies?

I have always had a problem with my breasts before my first child was born. I have recently had my fourth and final baby bear and am still currently breast feeding. The impact of 4 children has made my breasts incredibely saggy and i really lack self confidence and get very depressed about them, I have a doctors appointment this afternoon to discuss my insecurities and i do have back up from my mental health worker but im very aware that the chances of having it done are very few and far between.

Have any of you been taken seriously and been fortunate to have the operation?

Did it change your view of yourself?

Have you been happier since etc?

Thanks for any answers in advance

    I'd like a breast lift as well, but I wouldn't expect the NHS pay for it. They are stretched tight enough as it is (NHS, not my boobs...) and there are much more deserving people that need operations. Ya know, people with cancer, fibroids, appendicitis....I think saggy boobs ranks pretty low on the scale. As it should. If it is that horrible, save up your own money to have it done. That's what I'm doing.

    I think that the only way that the NHS would pay for a breast reduction/lift is if your boobs were much too big in proportion to your weight. Like if you were 5'2, weighed 8 stone, and had size E breasts, which would cause someone serious back problems. Other than that, I don' think they'd do it.

    PS You should also look at 'after' pictures if you are going to have this done. The surgeries do reduce the sagginess, but they also usually leave significant scarring, so that might affect your confidence as well.
