Ive had breast implants on the N.H.S. I waited 9 months.I couldnt say on here how I persuaded my doctor to refer me.It is possible for you.There is a certain criteria you have to achieve for them to take you seriously.

wont be easy but if you can convince your doctor that your dislike of your nose is ruining your quality of life he/she might refer you to a consultant
you would then have to convince them that the quality of youyr life is affected by your dislike of your nose

I think you are unlikely to get this done on the nhs

Yes, but there have to be medical or psycological reasons.

just put yor nose in a dangerous place i.e a liquidiser then they'll have to give you a new one. Then they'll probably give u the privalige of choosing a design coz of the trauma you've been through. Voila!

You can have it done on the NHS for two reasons;

1) As previously mentioned, medical problems
2) Psychological – if it is really causing you psychological problems then you can get it done on the NHS. This would be a tough one to prove, but if genuine you shold have no problem.

Good luck

If you talk to your Dr they should give you more info but if it's making you unhappy you have to tell them and they should do it. when I was 12 I had my ear's pinned back on the NHS but have to have my noise on private but you never know you might just ask your Dr

Yes you can, but there usually has to be a medical reason as to why you need it speak to your doctor as they will be able to give you the best info.

Only if you have breathing difficulties and can prove that a nose job would sort you out. A friend of mine had it done on the NHS for this reason. They wouldn't even consider it for cosmetic reasons though.
