Breast surgery for everyone – the same shape, and size; one size fits all!
If that were our marketing slogan, would you consider it?
Many ask…Is this possible?
Do you feel satisfied with one fit, one size?
Perhaps you could call it…off the shelf breast implants!
What if you could choose an implant size that fits YOU, and your body shape?
What if chest measurements, your shoulders and back meant a different fit?
What if you were the only one who had breasts like you?
Your breast size is most often determined by your genes and your hormones, which has taken into account your frame, weight and size. This means that for most, breast size is proportionate to body shape– however for a few; their breast shape is out of proportion; perhaps they have larger breasts that are heavy and hanging, or very small breasts, both, which can cause real discomfort and loss of confidence.
If you suffer with your breast size, don’t settle for ‘off the shelf breast implants’ or ‘one size fits all’ explore a tailored fit, a size of implant which is matched to you and your frame/body shape…a result as unique as you are.
Red Rose Desire’s real slogan: Patient Centred Surgery.
What does this mean? Our breast specialist team are experienced and passionate about your result and the clinical care on offer, working only with personalised plans for each individual. No one result will ever be the same, this is about you and your journey, one that is unique and only for you.
CARE is top priority at Red Rose Desire.
Please expect several meetings with your surgeon, getting to know them and their strengths, so that they can understand your expectations and focus – knowing you and treating you as an individual is what we do best.
Your surgeon is always on hand, happy to answer your questions, talk about your procedure and aftercare, offer transparent medical advice and offers a promise to always provide the highest quality of care.
Please note that your surgeon will be realistic about the result you can achieve, the shape and size and the recovery and will never give you false hope or the promise of a result, which may not be possible.
You are not just paying for a result –
Our commitment to offering surgery that is tailored to you, using only the finest surgeons and highest standard of care to give you the assurance that we are always there for you every step of the way, during and after your surgery.

We understand that having breast surgery is a big decision and that there is great planning involved beforehand, especially when trying to decide which surgeon is the right one for you.
Here we discuss how our patients can start by considering a breast surgeon best suited to them. One of the points we discuss most often is the tailored surgery approach, yes I know, we bang on about this often because it is at the heart of what we do. It is important for our patients to know that each person is treated like an individual, their breast surgery is about them, with results as unique as they are.
That said, each surgeon works in a slightly different way, and their results show this. We want to ensure you find the perfect surgeon, one you have met, feel comfortable around and trust will deliver your transformation. We work with some of the most skilled surgeons in the North West, and feel confident we can help you find your perfect match. What else can you consider?
