The criteria for breast reduction on the NHS varies from local health authority to local health authority.
What is most commonly said is that more than 500g must be able to be removed from each breast. That is about a reduction from an 'E' to a 'C' breast cup.
Ask your GP to refer you to a plastic surgeon.
You can also get a breast reduction if there is marked asymmetry in size between the two breasts.
If you do not meet these criteria then the Institute of Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery may be able to help you. Call them on 020 8735 6060.
