I want to get rid of my "thripple" - any advise?

[Sycamoretree]

So I've had a third nipple for as long as I can remember. It's never bothered me that much, not that noticeable...until I had my two babes. It morphed into something bigger, and much more, well, nipple-like. Long story short, I want it off, and it can't be soon enough. Anyone got any advice? Is there anyway the NHS will do this for me? I have health insurance, but can't see that it will be covered as they would surely just class it as a cosmetic procedure. If I have to go privately, can anyone recommend anywhere good in London area? Will it cost loads?

Oh buggles, I do not have 600 squiddlies for vanity op...that's a family holiday (nearly!). I do not like it one bit - it's gone bumpy like a real nip! It used to just be like a dark indentation underneath my boob. I read somewhere that for some women, it gives them pain as the root pulls on their breast??? Am wondering whether to fake this pain to my Dr to see if it means I can get it on NHS....does this make me a bad person? I am SO self conscious of it now. Lilly Allen has one, and so does Marky Mark -not sure if that counts as good company....

could you claim it's rubbing on your clothes and irritating you?

Maybe, cos my bra goes right across it. hmmm, trying to think which dr I would be least mortified to discuss it with....

3rd nipples are quite common, I'm sure your GP wouldn't be overly surprised. Depending on your area, it may be covered by the NHS and you could be referred to a plastic surgeon.

BTW most GPs have a built-in bullshit detector for lying/exaggerating patients!
