Professional detail

A considered conversation.

FRCS (Plast) · Consultant plastic surgeon

Ruth Anne Waters graduated from Southampton University and trained in plastic surgery in Norwich and the West Midlands. Her Priory Hospital biography describes an interest in both aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery, including microsurgical reconstruction. It also records work in skin oncology and lasers and a consultant role at University Hospital Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust. Official profile ↗

The official profile lists breast enlargement, reduction, uplift and reconstruction alongside selected body procedures. A breast consultation should distinguish cosmetic goals from reconstruction needs and address implants or tissue-based options, scars, recovery and the arrangements for ongoing review after treatment. Practice information ↗

The published consultation location is The Priory Hospital, Priory Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham. This is a local option for the Birmingham edition. Contact the practice to confirm the current consulting schedule, the clinician you will see, and whether surgery and follow-up occur at this same address. Obtain a written quote before making arrangements. Published contact details ↗

02 / Before you book

Start with the essentials.

Four conversations to have before choosing a date.

02

Understand the proposal.

Ask about expected changes, alternatives, limitations and risks that matter to you. Discuss your health history and medicines with the treating clinician.

Questions before a procedure ↗
03

Confirm the setting.

Ask where treatment takes place, who provides anesthesia and what arrangements cover complications. A consultation office may be separate from the surgical facility.

ISAPS patient resources ↗
04

Contact the practice ↗

03 / Consultation conversations

Explore the questions.

These discussion prompts are not a procedure catalogue or a determination of individual suitability.

01

Reconstruction options

Ask how the available approaches relate to your diagnosis, anatomy and longer-term care. The discussion can include surgery, timing and choosing no reconstruction.

Ask your clinician

Which options apply to me, and what are their limitations?

02

Implants and tissue

The choice of implant-based or tissue-based reconstruction needs an individual assessment and a discussion of future procedures.

Ask your clinician

What follow-up and possible additional operations should I plan for?

03

Coordinate your care

Ask which clinicians need to take part in decisions about timing and the overall treatment plan.

Ask your clinician

How will the surgical team coordinate with my other treating clinicians?

04

Appearance and expectations

Explain what matters to you about shape, symmetry and scars; ask the surgeon to separate realistic goals from uncertain outcomes.

Ask your clinician

What changes are realistic, and what might remain different?

05

Facility and support

Confirm the operating facility, anesthesia team and arrangements for care after discharge.

Ask your clinician

Who should I contact if I have a concern after leaving the facility?

06

Follow-up planning

A written plan can help you understand appointments and the practical help you may need.

Ask your clinician

What follow-up is planned, and which instructions are specific to me?

04 / Understanding the quote

A budget built on your own quote.

The worksheet below uses GBP. Use amounts from the same currency; it does not convert exchange rates. If care is in another country, request the quote in this currency or calculate separately.

Clinical fees

Request the consultation and procedure fees in writing, with the name of the treating professional.

Facility and anesthesia

Check whether these are included in a package or billed separately. Enter each charge only once.

Devices and materials

Ask whether implants, garments, medicines or other materials are included where relevant.

Tests and follow-up

Clarify which assessments and review appointments are included and what extra visits may cost.

Travel and support

Budget using your own arrangements. Confirm the treatment and follow-up locations first.

Terms and future care

Read deposit, cancellation, refund and revision terms. Ask about costs if additional care is needed.

No local fees or price estimates are supplied here. Ask the practice to confirm currency, taxes, inclusions and exclusions. GBP currency reference ↗

05 / The consultation notebook

Arrive with better questions.

Use this personal planning notebook to prepare for a consultation with your treating team. Enter amounts from your own written quote; the worksheet does not estimate treatment costs.

Prepare your conversation

Consultation checklist

Tick a topic once you have a clear answer. Bring any unanswered questions to your clinician.

Questions to discuss with your treating team

A discussion aid, not a medical assessment. No answers or personal health details are collected.

Read the whole quote

Your GBP budget worksheet

Enter amounts from your own quote or estimates. Every field starts empty; this worksheet does not suggest prices.

Keep the quote in context

Confirm whether each amount includes taxes. This tool does not add taxes, estimate rebates or fill in missing costs. Enter a fee once; if a package already includes a category, avoid counting it twice.

Blank fields are unknown, not free. An entered subtotal is not a complete treatment quote. Ask what follow-up, revisions or unexpected care may cost.

Use non-negative amounts up to GBP 1,000,000,000,000 per field, with no more than two decimal places. Figures and ticks remain only in this open page; nothing is sent or saved by these tools.

06 / Professional checks

Read the credentials carefully.

The featured office is in United Kingdom. Use the verification route relevant to the place where treatment will occur.

Published background

Circle Health Group publishes FRCS (Plast) and GMC number 2822246. It lists BMA, MPS and RSM memberships, which are not substitutes for a specialist-registration check. Review the current GMC record and ask how the surgeon’s experience relates to your proposed procedure.

Official profile ↗
