Yes you can. Your under 16 but you will
have to wait on a waiting list. I am 18
19 in a few days and I had to pay £1800
for mine :( so I would suggets going to
your doctor and he will write to the nhs.
The nhs should confim that you are on the
list. Good luck with that and let us know
how it goes!

Hello
i had this operation last october, a few
months before I was 18, free on the nhs.
Considering your age, you'll only have to
tell your doctor it bothers you, then
you'll be referred to a consultant, whom
will then finally decide if you are worthy
of the operation. Then you are placed on
the waiting list, but many trusts give a
specific date when the operation will be
carried out, just like mine did. However,
it was cancelled on two occations, but
that's the nhs for you.
I finally had it done and was impressed
with the results, however, after a few
weeks went past, the operation wasn't as
successful as I thought. Despite this,
most operations are successful.
So go to your doctor immediately, he will
refer you, then all you have to do is wait
and prepare your self.
Good luck.
