Celebrating a Surgical Icon: Mr. Amir Sharif’s 40-Year Legacy in Surgery

Feb 24, 2025 | Surgeons

At Red Rose Desire, we take immense pride in the expertise and dedication of our surgical team. This year we celebrate a truly remarkable milestone—Mr. Amir Sharif’s 40 years in General Surgery and 25 years in Cosmetic and Breast Cancer Reconstruction.

A Career Defined by Excellence

Mr. Sharif’s journey in surgery has been nothing short of extraordinary. With decades of experience in hernia repair, gallbladder removal (keyhole surgery), and treating lumps and bumps, he has helped countless patients regain their health and confidence.

However, his true passion lies in breast surgery, where he has made a profound impact in both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. From breast implants, uplifts, and reductions to complex breast cancer reconstructions, his skill and precision have transformed the lives of so many patients.

A Leading Expert in Breast Surgery

In addition to his work at our clinic, Mr. Sharif is a Senior Consultant Breast Surgeon at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport. His expertise was further honed during his three years in Manchester’s leading breast cancer centres, where he deepened his knowledge of both benign and malignant breast diseases.

His reputation speaks for itself—our patients consistently praise his compassionate approach and outstanding surgical results.

Thank You, Mr. Sharif!

We are incredibly proud to have such a highly skilled and dedicated surgeon as part of our team. His unwavering commitment, vast experience, and exceptional patient care make him a true leader in the field.

Join us in celebrating Mr. Sharif’s incredible achievements!

The Hidden Dangers of Cheap Weight Loss Surgery Abroad – Why Quality Matters

Feb 19, 2025 | Blog, Recovery and Aftercare

In recent years, the rise of medical tourism has led many individuals to seek weight loss surgery overseas, enticed by lower prices and attractive package deals. However, as highlighted in a new study published in the International Journal of Surgery, experts are warning against the dangers of opting for cheap bariatric procedures abroad.

The Risks of Overseas Weight Loss Surgery

The European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO) and the International Federation for Surgery of Obesity have raised serious concerns about discount deals that could compromise patient safety. According to the latest guidelines:

Patients should only seek surgery from accredited centres with proper medical oversight.
Surgery should only be performed on individuals with a BMI of at least 30.
Clinics should not engage in aggressive social media advertising targeting vulnerable patients.
Patients should receive clear information on both the risks and benefits of the surgery, as well as the risks associated with travel.
Follow-up care should last at least two years to monitor long-term health outcomes.

Dr. Laurence Dobbie of King’s College London emphasises the need for higher standards in medical tourism, ensuring patient safety and preventing unnecessary complications.

Why You Should Choose a Trusted Provider in the UK

While the promise of low-cost surgery abroad may seem appealing, the risks far outweigh the savings. Complications such as infections, inadequate post-operative care, and even life-threatening conditions are far too common in unregulated overseas clinics. Moreover, many patients find themselves without proper follow-up care upon returning to the UK, increasing the likelihood of complications.

At Red Rose Desire we prioritise patient safety, comfort, and long-term success. Here’s why choosing us for your weight loss journey is the best decision you can make:

Certified Surgeons: Our team consists of experienced and highly qualified professionals with a proven track record
Comprehensive Pre-Surgical Assessment: We ensure that every patient is thoroughly evaluated to determine the best course of action for their individual needs.
State-of-the-Art Facilities: The hospitals are equipped with the latest technology and follows the highest standards of hygiene and patient care.
Personalised Aftercare: We provide dedicated post-surgical follow-ups with your own aftercare team to support and ensure your long-term success.
Peace of Mind: No need to worry about language barriers, travel risks, or dealing with complications far from home.

Your Health is Worth the Investment

Surgery is a life-changing decision that requires careful consideration and expert medical care. Don’t take unnecessary risks by opting for discounted procedures abroad. Instead, invest in your health by choosing a trusted provider who prioritises your well-being.

At Red Rose Desire we’re here to help you achieve your goals safely and effectively.

The Need for Mental Health Checks in Plastic Surgery: A Growing Concern

Feb 10, 2025 | Blog, Breast Procedures, Company News, News, Surgeons

The Need for Mental Health Checks in Plastic Surgery: A Growing Concern

In a world increasingly influenced by social media and the pursuit of aesthetic perfection, a leading doctor is calling for stricter mental health assessments before plastic surgery procedures. Dr. Christopher Rowland-Payne, the first president of the Royal Society of Medicine’s new Section of Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery, believes that cosmetic doctors must be equipped to recognise psychological issues in their patients.

The Rise of “Helen of Troyism”

Dr. Rowland-Payne highlights a phenomenon he calls “Helen of Troyism,” where individuals become overly fixated on their appearance, believing they can never be beautiful enough. Inspired by the legendary Greek figure “whose face launched a thousand ships,” this modern obsession is largely fuelled by social media, where edited and filtered images create unrealistic beauty standards.

Young people, particularly women, are disproportionately affected. The rise of “selfie culture” has contributed to what Dr. Rowland-Payne describes as an “insatiable yearning” to enhance one’s looks. This is especially concerning when it becomes irrational, leading to conditions like Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD).

The Role of Cosmetic Doctors

Given the serious mental health implications, Dr. Rowland-Payne urges aesthetic doctors to go beyond their technical skills and develop psychological expertise. He suggests that some patients seeking cosmetic procedures may be better served by therapy rather than surgery.

BDD, which affects 1–2% of the population and around 6% of young women aged 17–19, has one of the highest suicide rates among mental health disorders. This alarming statistic underscores the need for responsible decision-making in the cosmetic industry.

Striking a Balance

The desire to enhance one’s appearance is natural, but when it becomes an unhealthy obsession, medical professionals must step in. Striking a balance between aesthetic aspirations and mental well-being is essential to ensure that cosmetic procedures are pursued for the right reasons.

Dr. Rowland-Payne’s call for mental health checks in aesthetic medicine is a crucial step toward protecting vulnerable individuals from the darker side of beauty culture. As the industry evolves, ensuring that psychological well-being is prioritised alongside physical appearance is more important than ever.

The Importance of Choosing Safe and Regulated Cosmetic Procedures

Feb 4, 2025 | Blog, News, Your Surgery

The Importance of Choosing Safe and Regulated Cosmetic Procedures

Recent investigations have highlighted the alarming risks associated with unregulated cosmetic procedures, particularly in cases where treatments are performed by individuals without the necessary medical qualifications. A BBC report (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyk521rrxyo) exposed serious safety concerns around liquid Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs) conducted by an unlicensed practitioner, resulting in severe complications for multiple patients. This serves as a crucial reminder of why choosing a reputable, medically regulated clinic is essential for safety and optimal results.

Why Regulation Matters in Cosmetic Surgery

At Red Rose Desire Cosmetic Surgery, patient safety is our top priority. Unlike unregulated practitioners operating in non-clinical environments, our procedures are carried out by highly trained and accredited surgeons in fully equipped hospitals. We follow strict guidelines to ensure:

Qualified Surgeons & Practitioners – Our team consists of certified professionals who adhere to UK medical regulations.
Safe & Approved Treatments – We only use approved medical-grade products and techniques that have been rigorously tested.
Hygienic & Clinical Environments – All procedures are performed in sterile, professional medical settings to minimize risks of infection and complications.
Comprehensive Aftercare – We provide full post-procedure support to ensure a safe and smooth recovery for every patient.

Understanding the Risks of Unregulated Procedures

The BBC investigation shed light on the dangers of undergoing treatments with unlicensed practitioners. Patients who sought procedures from an unregulated source suffered from complications such as:

Sepsis and life-threatening infections
Tissue necrosis (cell death) leading to severe disfigurement
Unsafe administration of medication without a valid prescription
Overuse of filler beyond medically recommended limits

These cases highlight the potential consequences of choosing unregulated cosmetic procedures and the importance of thorough research before undergoing treatment.

How to Ensure You’re in Safe Hands

If you’re considering a cosmetic procedure, we strongly recommend:

Checking Credentials – Always verify that your surgeon is qualified, certified, and affiliated with recognised medical organisations.
Reading Verified Reviews – Look for genuine patient feedback from trusted sources rather than social media endorsements.
Asking About Safety Measures – Ensure that the procedure will be conducted in a licensed medical facility with proper hygiene standards.
Understanding the Risks – Every procedure carries some level of risk. A reputable clinic will be transparent about potential complications and how they are managed.
Ensuring Proper Aftercare – Quality clinics provide full post-treatment care and are available for any concerns or follow-ups.

Trust Red Rose Desire for Safe, Professional Care

At Red Rose Desire, we believe that cosmetic procedures should be empowering, safe, and tailored to each individual’s needs. Our patients trust us because we prioritise their well-being, from consultation to recovery. If you’re considering a treatment, let our expert team guide you through a safe and professional experience.
