How do we start, and what can I expect?
There are many ways of booking a complimentary consultation with us. You can call one of our very friendly experienced co-ordinators or contact us through our website where a member of our team will give you a call at a time convenient for you or if you’d prefer, liaise by email.
Attend your private consultation with one of our experienced surgeons and a member of our team, to find out more about the procedure, the risks involved, the expected results, recovery, scarring etc. They can also answer any questions you may have.
We know cosmetic surgery is a big step and we appreciate you may want to take time to do more research and think about your decision. This is why the surgeon works with a 14-day ‘cooling off’ period.
After taking your time and then deciding you’d like to proceed, a member of our experienced team will be on hand to book a surgery date with you. In order for us to do this we will need an initial deposit of 20% of the overall cost of your procedure.
After confirming your surgery date, you will meet with our very experienced nurse Elaine for your pre-operative assessment, which will vary depending on the specific procedure you are having. Elaine will also be with you every step of your journey.
Your cosmetic surgery procedure will go ahead at one of our dedicated private hospitals.
After your procedure, you will receive a wound check approximately 5-7 days later. Nurse Elaine will also be there to answer any questions you may have and ensuring you have no concerns since being discharged.
Now it’s time to attend your post-operative 6 week check with your surgeon. A member of the team will be in touch to arrange this appointment with you a few weeks after your procedure. This will be at one of our clinic locations best suited to you.
We look forward to welcoming you, to one of our clinics across the North West.

Patient Journey – how long will I wait for surgery?
A superior end-to-end journey at Red Rose Desire.
Initial enquiry
Book a free consultation with one of our specialist surgeons:
- Our patient co-ordinators are on hand during a new patient phone call to get to know you and learn more about your expectations, that way they can match you with the best suited surgeon.
An appointment is made at a mutually convenient time and is always complimentary.
- Your first consultation will be thorough, and is aimed at providing you with all of the information you need to make the right choices. You will speak with both a specialist surgeon of the relevant specialty and our treatment co-ordinator. You will also complete a medical history document and we will take photographs and relevant information to complement our assessments.
- Discussing your treatment options and considering your options, we can also show you before and after photos of similar cases and shapes/size.
A second consultation is often required for patients who have further questions or queries, or need to discuss, consider their options further. This can be booked in at any time.
Pre-Operative Assessment
Following your consultation and with the decision to move forward with your procedure, a medical test is arranged to ensure you are a fit and healthy candidate for surgery. It also allows us to identify any potential risks prior to surgery.
Booking Surgery
We ask for a 14-day cooling off period before we go ahead and book/confirm your surgery date.
Our surgeons are in theatre most days and so you can expect to wait no more than 2- 4 weeks for your procedure to take place. This is always booked in at a time suitable for you. Throughout this time, we will be available any time of day, any day of the week, at the other end of the phone, to make sure you have all the information you need.
Naturally, all that is discussed and agreed is documented in writing.
