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.

Breast Reduction Surgery, also known as “mammaplasty”, allows a surgeon to remove excess breast tissue, fat and skin from the breasts allowing for a smaller, lighter and improved or lifted appearance. Having large breasts can take its toll on the back and shoulders and cause pain and discomfort carrying around this additional weight.
Breast Reduction Surgery can be life changing and not only change appearance, but allow for a light hold across the body making daily activites so much easier.
Breast reduction surgery can help women who are unhappy with the shape, weight or droop of their breasts by making them smaller and more lifted.
Meet out patient who recently underwent Breast Reduction Surgery at The First Trust Hospital in Preston, Lancashire with our expereinced breast specialist surgeon Mr Ashley Topps. During our first consultation with our patient, we learned that our patient had been considering breast reduction surgery for a very long time, and was struggling not only with the weight and the size of each breast, but also with the appearance of herself when wearing clothes and swimsuits etc. Our patient was feeling down and unhappy with the size of her breasts and experienced pain and discomfort each day, when doing regular and simple tasks and could not join in with any physical activities. She was looking for a new self-image, a chest that could change her life and a wardrobe which she could embrace and enjoy.
The surgery went well, there was some swelling and pain initially, but with rest and care, our patient was able to heal quite nicely.
She is absolutely thrilled with her new chest, and has immediately found relief in her back and shoulders with a lighter, lifted pair of breasts.
