Cosmetic Surgery at Pall Mall

We work with a range of cosmetic surgeons, and when you enquire with our bookings team we will ask you a series to help determine which surgeon is the best for you.

Initial consultations typically last approximately 40 minutes. The surgeon will give you the chance to explain what you are looking for and why you are considering surgery. You should provide as much detail as possible so that the surgeon can understand your expectations and advise you on what results you can expect.

The surgeon will talk to you in detail about your procedure and answer any questions you may have. One of our Patient Co-ordinators will also be at the clinic during your consultation. They’ll greet you on arrival, introduce you to the surgeon and look after you whilst you are in the clinic.

Some patients choose to bring a friend, relative or partner to the consultation with them. Our surgeons are happy to let the person you bring join the consultation with you. Otherwise, chaperones are available at Pall Mall if you wish.

Once you have finished your consultation, your Co-ordinator will discuss the next steps with you, provide you with a full quote, give you indicative surgery dates and answer any other questions you may have.

You will also receive a procedure pack to take home with you. Going ahead with surgery is a big decision, so please take the time to read the information.

You can call your Co-ordinator at any time to talk about your surgery - they'll always be happy to help. We also own a private hospital in Newton-le-Willows that is CQC-certified with state of the art theatres and private rooms with en-suite facilities.

If you decide to proceed with cosmetic surgery, you will be required to pay a £500 deposit to secure your theatre slot. We also have excellent finance options with Chrysalis Finance available should you wish to spread the cost of your procedure.

A pre-op assessment will be arranged for you at one of our clinic locations. During this appointment, our Nurse will ask you a series of questions about your medical history, current medications you are taking, any allergies you have, etc. It is important that you are open and transparent about any health issues. The answers you give will be recorded and sent to our surgeon and anaesthetist who will then review this. The nurse will advise you if there is any further information we need from you before your procedure.

Our patient journey is uniquely designed to ensure the very best results in a safe and clean environment. To achieve this, we will also take some MRSA swabs. Pall Mall is proud to have a 0% MRSA infection rate since opening our hospital.

Our Theatre Bookings team will contact you before the procedure to advise you of your admission time and provide you with any specific information about your time at the hospital with us. We’ll also give you a menu so you can choose what food you would like after your procedure.

When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by one of our Ward Nurses who will take you up to your en-suite room. They’ll help you get ready for your surgery and will do a few final checks with you. The surgeon and  anaesthetist will come to your room to see how you’re doing and answer any last minute questions you may have.

Once your theatre slot arrives, one of our nursing team will come down to bring you up to the theatre. Many patients bring their own slippers for added comfort when walking through the hospital!

You’ll be taken into the Anaesthesia room, where our Anaesthetist & Anaesthetic Nurse (or ODP) will help you relax before you go under anaesthesia. You should feel perfectly comfortable during this process – our anaesthetists are highly experienced and will talk you through the whole process!

Once the anaesthesia takes effect, you will be taken into the theatre where the surgeon will perform the operation. There will be a full team in theatre to monitor you and assist the surgeon.

After the operation is complete, you’ll be taken into recovery where the anaesthetist and recovery nurse will ensure you are nice and stable once you have woken up. You may feel slightly light-headed, but this is normal and to be expected. Once the nurse and anaesthetist are happy with your recovery, you’ll be taken back to the ward where you will complete your recovery in an en-suite room.

The ward nurses will check on you regularly to make sure you are feeling ok and the pain is minimal. You’ll be given some food and water as well.

When you’re ready to go, you’ll be given your aftercare instructions that may contain post-op instruction leaflets and an emergency phone number should you need to contact us 24/7.

You cannot drive home after the surgery, so it’s crucial you arrange for someone to take you to and from our hospital. There is free parking on-site and plenty of space for them to wait for you during your procedure and recovery. Alternately, if they are more adventurous, there are plenty of restaurants and cafes within a short drive, as well as the Gemini Retail Park (Warrington), which includes shops such as Ikea, Next, Marks & Spencers and more. The Reception team can provide you with more information.

Once you’re at home, you should rest. The surgeon and nurse will advise you when you can bathe, return to work, go to the gym, fly etc. If you have specific questions – please do ask!

You’ll be contacted by out Patient experience team to check up on you and to arrange a post-op appointment. The surgeon will also see you again post-op and can provide you with any further information you may need.
