Size of a woman&#8217;s breasts, their weight, their age, whether they smoke, will be considered before surgery is offered<\/h3>\n<p>Breast reduction surgery is done to reduce the size and weight of a woman&#8217;s breasts, and involves removing fat, tissue and skin from the chest.<\/p>\n<p>Genes, hormones and body shape and size may determine how large a woman&#8217;s breasts are \u2013 usually they are in proportion to the rest of the body but some women&#8217;s may be exceptionally large.<\/p>\n<p>Whether the NHS will offer the operation may depend on where someone lives and why they want the operation.<\/p>\n<p>The NHS will not usually do a breast reduction for cosmetic reasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, it may be considered if a women is experiencing effects like backache, neck or shoulder pain, rashes or skin infections beneath the breasts, or psychological distress.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The NHS may also consider the size of a woman&#8217;s breasts, their weight, their age, whether they smoke, and whether other solutions have been tried.<\/p>\n<p>And local funding availability also plays a role \u2013 different NHS boards around the country have different criteria so women living in some areas may be more able to get the surgery than those in others.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Source: NHS Choices<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She added: &#8216;I felt so emotional when I woke up after the operation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;This was something that had affected my mental health for the past seven years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It was a weird feeling to have carried something like that [the weight] for so long and then it [suddenly] not be there anymore.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Doctors also had to cut my milk duct, which means I won&#8217;t be able to breast feed in the future.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;My surgeon was very open about me not being able to breast feed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;There are different ways of doing a breast reduction so they can keep the milk ducts, but I do not really mind about not breast feeding.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It is the safer option to avoid a larger risk of nipple necrosis, and children are not on the cards right now.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Amba is still in recovery and will be in this process from to six months to a year. However, she already feels like a new woman.<\/p>\n<p>She added: &#8216;I feel like I&#8217;m glowing. I don&#8217;t have back pain, I don&#8217;t need time off work and I can exercise and do activities I really enjoy, like trampolining.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;My boyfriend, friends and family have been so supportive throughout this whole journey because they know how desperate I was for it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Since my surgery I&#8217;ve lost around 6,000 followers, with men saying I&#8217;m now &#8220;good for nothing&#8221;. But it&#8217;s a blessing in disguise to me.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;For anyone considering the same surgery], it&#8217;s really important to make your concerns known to doctors.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You also need to be aware of how long the recovery process will take. It may feel like a big step but there is light at the end of the tunnel.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-12613709\/I-bullied-years-L-cup-boobs-having-breast-reduction-changed-life-trolls-say-Im-good-now.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was bullied for years over my L cup boobs &#8211;
