I was going to write the same thing. Some breast reductions/enhancements are done on the NHS as a result of in depth psychological analysis as well as physical checks.
I'm guessing that in the past it isn't just muslims who have had this done as well, I reckon a few members of other faiths including christianity probably have as well!
