Meet Lily Porter, a 21-year-old mum from Retford, Nottinghamshire, whose life is overshadowed by her 36NN breasts, which weigh a whopping five stone! Lily’s large breasts have not just been a source of embarrassment and physical discomfort, but they’ve also led to serious health issues. After her skin was torn by their weight, she developed an infection that spiralled into sepsis—a frightening, life-threatening condition.
Lily lives in constant pain and battles daily depression about her situation. Her breasts represent a third of her body weight, yet NHS has refused her much-needed reduction surgery, citing her BMI as too high. Lily argues that most of her weight is in her breasts, an issue she can’t control.
From being bullied in school with cruel remarks about her size to feeling self-conscious about her appearance, Lily’s struggles are far from over. She can’t wear clothes she likes, play her beloved football, or even go swimming without fear of judgmental stares. Her bras are custom-made and expensive, not to mention the shoulder pain they cause because of her breast weight.
Despite fulfilling most criteria for breast reduction on the NHS, she still faces roadblocks. Even local MP Jo White has stepped in, urging the NHS to reconsider her case due to her unique circumstances. While NHS guidelines aim to use limited funds wisely, Lily’s plea highlights the need for a more compassionate approach to exceptional cases.
Lily’s fighting spirit and her call for help has sparked attention and support. She hopes for change and a chance to live without the burden of her condition. Here’s hoping the system flexes its guidelines to give Lily the relief she desperately needs. 💔 #SupportLily #HealthcareMatters #NHS
