UK Navy pays for soldier's boob job
 

Boob job for sailor

The Navy has paid for a boob job for a man.

The junior rating in his 20s had a breast reduction op to remove saggy "man's boobs" after losing a lot of weight.

A Wren on the same assault ship - HMS Albion - has had breast enhancement surgery reports The Sun.

The Ministry of Defence paid a total of £37,838 for cosmetic surgery treatments last year, including nose jobs and tummy tucks.

The Navy insisted the operations were carried out in military hospitals for "serious clinical reasons".

After that line they didn't really need to say they got the story from The Sun, eh?

:1orglaugh

I was about to post someones name but I won't

:thumbsup

Man boobs are a "serious clinical reason"?

you dont need to be good looking to go to the navy.

The reason for this is that their surgeons need excersize in their profession so that they can save as many lifes as possible when the real deal comes around.

gynocemastia (man boobs) can be VERY painful for those that have it

no boobs were harmed in the posting of this thread.

This has been happening in the US since at least the 1960's. Military surgeons are paid a salary, not per surgery. If you want a boob job, tummy tuck, etc. and they have time to do it - needless to say you are at the bottom of the list - and you pay for supplies, they will do it. Military plastic surgeons need practice performing these surgeries and if they don't do enough, they have to leave for more training. This situation is beneficial to all involved and doesn't cost the taypayers a penny.

I have no problem believing that at all:)

PS: Sarah, how you doing? I hope peace is finding its way back into your heart.

I have em and it's very bad :(

Plz donate money to [email protected]

No change there then.

Managing to manage is the best way I think I can put it. The downside of working from home is being alone all the time but I am sure I will be okay. Thank you for asking :)

they were turning on fellow sailors :winkwink:

ananova is such a useless website

:banana Horray for Man-Boobs :banana

Good to see tax payers money going on something contructive.

The US Military pay's for breast reductions too. But never seen it on a male! :1orglaugh

My cousin had one paid by the government when her husband was in the Navy because of the back problems it causes.

Nothing unusual there then...

Again, the tax payers aren't paying any extra for it. In fact, it would actually cost the taxpayers MORE to send these doctors out for training.

:1orglaugh

It may have been cheaper for them to put up the money for that than to loose the soldier and have to train a new one.

is he a tranny?

well it is the navy and it could be classified as floatation devices...:Graucho

Hm, interesting...as far as I know the military will cover any plastic surgery that will repair what they damaged...or if it's something that is really causing you physical pain....like breast reductions

I know they don't do implants, lipo. nor tummy tucks. I was a military wife for 5 years, had many female friends who tried to get tummy tucks and they clearly will not perform that type of plastic surgery!

I guess that's reasonable.
