Cancer Cream Efudix Helps Erase Wrinkles
Nipple Cosmetic Surgery
Hundreds of people have had cosmetic surgery for free thanks to the UK’s NHS. Figures from the NHS Information Centre show that in the past year, the National Health Service (NHS) has spend £5.7 million on giving 471 patients liposuction and giving over 1,600 patients nose jobs, tummy tucks and breast reductions.
Doctors have explained the situation saying that the operations were not solely down to patients wanting to look better there was a medical reason for the cosmetic surgery in all of the cases.
For example some of the patients who have had cosmetic surgery on the NHS were suffering from body dysmorphic disorder (sometimes also referred to as dysmorphic syndrome or dysmorphophobia), a psychiatric disorder where the patient is excessively concerned and preoccupied by a imagined or very minor defect in their appearance. Body dysmorphic disorder can cause severe psychological distress that can impair social functioning, sometimes to the point of total social isolation.
Cosmetic surgeons are keen to point out that the rules for having cosmetic surgery under the NHS are stringent and patients would not get surgery for purely cosmetic reasons. Simply “being distressed by their looks” is not enough to warrant cosmetic surgery there has to be significant evidence of the patient suffering from body dysmorphic disorder before patients would be permitted to have cosmetic surgery.
Some cosmetic surgery performed by the NHS is also as a result of other illnesses such as HIV. HIV medication can cause fat deposits to build up on the neck and in these cases, the NHS may pay for liposuction on the patient’s neck.

I like many other women, am not happy with my body.
Being 33 years old and mother to 4 girls i dont like some parts of myself.
I am 6ft and the parts i dont like are my boobs as i am tall and am broad my B/C cup boobs look tiny they really do make me feel very un-femanine and are aided daily by heavely padded bras, gel bras and inflatable / chicken fillets.
Also the top of my thighs have bad orange peel look about them.
I do think that in todays world looks are everything in alot of cases i have found even in employement that looks outdo brains which is sad but is happening.
In todays world females especially have alot to live up to with pop stars, actresses etc being on our tv screens daily the model female seems to be very slim with big boobs and perfect skin, and with being a busy mum just about making ends meet i cannot afford what comes naturally to those people which in return makes me feel uncomfortable and ashamed with certain parts of me.
I know i am me and not them but why cant i have the chance to feel femanine, comfortable and sexy like they do.
I’am 17 years old, and the way i look has ruined my life, not even kidding, i had to leave school because of it, give up job opportunities, college opportunities, avoid realationships, everything. I know it sounds silly, i’am not stupid but it cannot be helped, my appearance physicaly sickens me, i never go outside, i never talk to the few people i call friends.I have felt like this since i was 12/13 but suffered other issues as a child too. I have contacted my GP hoping to get counciling and hopfuly be suggested for surgery on my nose, jaw and breats, its not a want, its a need, whats the point in having a life if you cannot live it.
Im 15 And Recently Had My Teeth Done Because I Hated The Way I Smiled And Now I Feel So Happy But If U Want Surgery Then U Should Have It I Left School When I Was 12 I Was Never Bullied I Just Felt So Depressed Because Every One Else Was Prettier Than Me But Now I Know That Surgery Does Make U Feel So Much Better So If U Have The Money Go For It.
I want to point out one thing. If you have, or even hear someone say you have Body Dysmorphia… please, do not seek surgery untill you have had severe long term therapy, and perhaps even medication. I had BD and OCD unknowingly. At times I suspected it, but without meds and therapy, I ignored my rare glimpses, and warnings. I opted for a surgery, that destroyed me in more ways then one. I was forced into therapy then. And after meds and therapy, I realized I allowed a doctor to severly mess me up. BD and OCD is even worse to deal with now. Now, I’m looking for revision and correction. I lost everything. And I’m scared to death of having another surgery, but I must, for my mental well being.

dear sir,
please help me to free from acne problem.i have been suffering from long time and i feel very bad to stand in front of my friends and others.Due to my financial condition i cant affrd for that so please help me.i will wait for ur reply.
Hi,
I was told i suffered from bdd aged 16,but I am now 19 and am in the process of recieving a written diagnosis as I have told by specialists they believe i have bdd, but it’s never been offically put down. I have been to in and out unit’s had cbt and talking therapy, have tried citalopram and paroxetine which had no affect and I am currently taking Venlalic which does little either.
After 4 years with what is believed to be Bdd I had to come up with my own way of coping/surviving as i had bad experiences with psychologists and there wasn’t anythiong else anyone could do, I was told which made me feel like giving up on life all together.
I found that colour lenses have actually saved my life as pathetic as it sound’s as my bdd revolves around the hatered of my eyes. The only way i can explain it is, it’s very similar to an individual suffering from gender dysphoria, They do not want therapy to tell them why they cannot change sex, they need a therapist who will talk to them make sure this is whta they want and help them acheive it, as it’s to distressing for them to stay as they are. This is how I feel about my eye’s. If i could do this on my own and make my own lenses i would but i’m not an ocularist.
I really need the nhs’s help and gp’s as I don’t want to stay like this anymore i have found my solution and i just want to move on and work hard follow my dreams, I don’t want to be stuck and worried 24/7 anymore.
I feel it’s serious as if i didn’t have the lenses i do at the moment i wouldn’t want to live without them because of how bad thing’s are and i have said that if i couldn’t commit suicide, i’d resort to blinding myself so i didn’t have to see what I hate, but it can be prevented so that never has to happen.
I know this may sound insane but i know i am not i have goals and things i’d love to do in life, i have a disorder and this my coping method.
Hi i just read your blog,you are so young to be worried about things like this,these are the best years of your life,you need to study & get a nice career & if you still want these procedures done when your older all that hard work & studying would have got you a good job so then youll have the money to go have it all done.
But just a word of advice beauty really does come from the inside not the outside & if anybody tells you different then take it from me they are sad ignorant people.
P.S kelly if you want to have a chat my e.mail is [email protected] drop me a line but cheer up and dont keep yourself locked away from the world there are some very nice people out there not everyone is small minded my names samantha contact me anytime,take care.
I think it’s ridiculous how some of you, despite being very desparate to change the way you look, are advertising your personal details on a website like this. Any old weird could end up ringing you.
I am an 18-year-old guy and have some major issues with my teeth, skin and nose. I have an overbite, crooked, discoloured, twisted, uneven and gapped teeth. My skin is covered with acne, scars and lines and wrinkles (brought on from stress) and my nose sticks to the right, has a wide tip, flares up like a pig and has a hump.
I’ve tried committing suicide three times now due to the way I look. I’m obviously a very mentally unwell young man but I NEED the problems addressed. I see some kind of professional in three days time and don’t know what to expect. I will tell him/her that it’s my physical appearance that ruins my life. That’s the whole reason for me trying to kill myself – because I believe I’m the ugliest, most disgusting and worthless human being in the world. It really affects my life – I don’t go out, I have a big problem with food as a way of dealing with my emotions, I cry, I shout, I scream, I swear, I punch things – all I want is to change the way I look and can’t see a future with me in it for very much longer.
The very reason for me writing this is because I really studied my face in the mirror earlier and I wanted to kill myself straight away. But I didn’t. Do you know why? Because I’ve seen how much it hurt my parents the last time I tried to kill myself and I wouldn’t want to survive another suicide attempt to see them being hurt all over again.
What I’m currently doing is trying to grow my hair really long. Like to the point where it’s just above my eyebrows. Obviously I want to have it properly styled because I have such a deformed head structure that not having it styled would make it look just so pathetic. I’m also in the process of getting composite veneers by a cosmetic dentist but he’s not going to be able to work magic on my already fucked-up (excuse the foul language) teeth. I need some kind of orthodontic work done – but I don’t want braces. Give me good old surgery any day of the week. I’m also having microdermabrasion sessions at a clinic in my town but because I put so many skin care products on my face, I’m messing everything up.
Sorry for going on and on but I just felt the need to give you my perspective
Hi so did you get surgery on the NHS after all? Please get back to me as I’m exactly the same as you! I just don’t have the money to get a nose job, I desperatly need it all I do is cry and cry over my appearance I’m 20 and never had a job or anything because I just don’t know how I will feel each day sad days when you wish you had never been born!!!

I am 57years old and have been trying for ages to have a breast reduction on the NHS. My Gp is happy to fund this but I cannot get the doctors to put me on the waiting list. I keep being told I need to lose weight.
I suffer with dreadful back pains due to wear and tear and aso because my breast are so large and uncomfortable. I also have osteoarthritis which makes mobility poor. I am in constant pain and I am having a great deal of upper back, neck and shoulder pains.
Finding comfortable bras are impossible and expensive.
I worked as a registered Nurse for over thirty years but had to stop working because of my back trouble. I cannot afford to go private and I am really so distressed about my breasts.
I have lost a lot of weight and cannot seen to lose more. I lose the weight from my lower body but not from my breast which remain large and very uncomfortable.
I am desperate for help. How can I have surgery and get this treatment on the NHS, please?
Can anyone help please.
Thank you.
Yvonne.
