Fat transfer breast augmentation with Mr Nassab costs from £12,500. That price covers liposuction to harvest the fat, processing, grafting into the breasts, the anaesthetist, hospital and theatre fees, compression garments and routine follow-up. The £150 consultation is separate. Because some transferred fat is naturally reabsorbed, it is important to understand the likely result and whether a second session could be needed.

Why it costs more than implants
Fat transfer is really two operations in one. First, fat is removed by liposuction from an area such as the abdomen, flanks or thighs. It is then processed and injected in many fine layers throughout the breast so each small droplet can pick up a blood supply. This is slow, meticulous work and takes longer in theatre than placing an implant. For comparison, implant-based breast augmentation starts from £8,500 and Motiva Preservé from £9,500. The extra cost reflects time, equipment and the donor-site liposuction.
What the price covers
- Surgeon: Mr Nassab plans the donor areas, harvests and grafts the fat, and follows up your recovery.
- Anaesthetist: fat transfer to the breasts is carried out under general anaesthetic.
- Hospital and theatre: your operation takes place at Deansgate Hospital, Manchester, including nursing care.
- Garments: a compression garment for the liposuction areas and a soft support bra.
- Routine follow-up: reviews while swelling settles and the grafted fat establishes.
You can meet Mr Nassab at CLNQ, Deansgate Square, Manchester, or at CLNQ, King Street, Knutsford. The £150 consultation fee is charged separately. See the prices page for the full list.
Factors that influence your quote
The final figure is agreed after examination and depends on:
- Available donor fat: very slim patients may not have enough fat, in which case fat transfer may not be suitable.
- Number of donor areas: harvesting from several areas takes more time.
- Your goals: fat transfer suits a modest, natural increase rather than a large change in size.
- Correcting asymmetry or contour: adding fat selectively to one breast, or refining the shape after previous surgery, is planned individually.
- Combination with other procedures: such as an uplift or implant removal.
Planning for a possible second session
Not all the fat that is transferred survives. The body reabsorbs a proportion over the first few months, and the amount varies between people. Some patients are happy after one procedure; others choose a second session to build further volume. A second session is a separate procedure and is quoted separately, so it is sensible to consider this when budgeting. Mr Nassab will give you a realistic idea of what one session is likely to achieve.
A bonus, not the main aim
Because fat is removed by liposuction, the donor area is often slimmer afterwards. This is best seen as a helpful side effect rather than the reason for surgery. If body contouring is your main goal, liposuction on its own may be more suitable; one area starts from £7,500.
Finance, and the risks of cheap offers
Finance may be available through Chrysalis Finance, subject to status. Reza Nassab Ltd is a credit broker, not a lender. Very low-priced fat grafting packages abroad often leave out the processing time and follow-up that affect how much fat survives. Flying soon after liposuction increases clot risk, and firm lumps from fat necrosis or oil cysts need local assessment. After surgery, contact the team the same day about fever or spreading redness, and urgently if one breast swells rapidly. Sudden calf pain or leg swelling needs same-day GP or NHS 111 assessment, and chest pain or breathlessness needs a 999 call.
Questions worth asking about the quote
When comparing providers, ask how many donor areas are included, how the fat is processed, whether garments and follow-up are part of the price, who performs the grafting and what happens if you need to be seen urgently after surgery. A clear, written quote that answers these points is easier to compare than a headline figure alone, and it avoids unexpected costs later.
Breast screening and suitability
Grafted fat can occasionally form small lumps or calcifications that show on imaging, so let anyone performing breast screening know you have had fat transfer. Fat transfer is for adults aged 18 and over at a stable weight, as significant weight change affects the grafted fat as well.
