I am at 32HH ive had big breast since i was 15years old i went to the doctor and she told me i was far to young for it and was just to grow up and learn to like my body i am now 20 and still hate my breast. I went to the doctors last year about a breast reduction i fited the right citeria but then i got a letter from the NHS saying i wasnt successfull. I want a breast reduction so much and i am starting to get sore backs and i hate going shopping as nothing fits me right its depressing. What can i do when I have already been rejected?

I don't know, but if you have any extra weight on you (like me) it might be that they want you to be a certain weight before they consider you. - I was refused by my doctor and I am 36 (she said I had to lose weight) but this is hard to do when you get a bit older and weight fluctuates with different people anyway.

I cannot understand why you got refused (20 is not too young) you have reached your full development as a woman and if they are already large; they can only get larger over time if you are big breasted. It might be an extreme thing to do; but you could see a different GP - explain that you saw another one before and was refused by the NHS so you are now so depressed that you feel like getting a knife to them. If your age is an issue with the NHS then you need to tell them how suicidal and depressed you feel - that way they will definitely reconsider your dilemma and be forced to give you the operation.

Wearing an expensive sports bra is essential in the meantime - It makes such a difference to how they feel and look even though it doesn't alter the fact that you have to live them.
