From the BBFC website.

Perhaps because of the film's toxic reputation, it did not return to the BBFC until 2001, after James Ferman had retired. In a rather less heated atmosphere, and with new published classification guidelines based on public consultation, the film was classified 18, after 22 seconds of cuts to material involving the mutilation of a woman's breasts. In 2012, focus groups participating in BBFC research into audience reactions to sexual and sadistic violence watched the cut material. They concluded that the film and its effects appeared dated and it was not particularly shocking compared to modern films. The film has not been sent back for reclassification since that time.
Basically to me this says if someone resubmitted the film it would pass uncut.
