A MiniAug with Mr Nassab costs from £8,500, the same starting fee as a standard breast augmentation. It uses a smaller implant placed through a minimal incision for a subtle increase in size, and the price covers the surgeon, anaesthetist, hospital stay, implants, garment and routine follow-up. The £150 consultation is charged separately.

What a MiniAug is
A MiniAug is a breast augmentation designed around a modest change. Rather than aiming for a large increase in volume, it uses a small implant chosen to suit the existing breast width and tissue, placed through a short incision. Many people who choose it want to restore fullness lost after pregnancy or weight change, or to improve shape and proportion without an obviously ‘done’ look. Because the implant is smaller, the incision can often be kept short and the tissues are stretched less. Mr Nassab describes the approach in more detail on the MiniAug page.
What your fee includes
The MiniAug fee starts from £8,500 and typically includes:
- Surgeon: consultation follow-up, planning, implant selection and the operation performed by Mr Nassab.
- Anaesthetist: your consultant anaesthetist’s fee for the general anaesthetic.
- Hospital and theatre: surgery at Deansgate Hospital, Manchester, including theatre time, nursing care and your day-case or overnight stay.
- Implants: the implants chosen for your plan, sized to your chest measurements.
- Garment and dressings: a post-operative support bra and dressings.
- Routine follow-up: wound checks and reviews with Mr Nassab as you heal.
Consultations take place at CLNQ, Deansgate Square, Manchester, and CLNQ, King Street, Knutsford. The £150 consultation fee is separate. The prices page lists current fees.
How it compares with other augmentation options
Three options often come up in the same conversation:
- MiniAug, from £8,500: a smaller implant through a minimal incision, aiming for a natural, understated increase.
- Standard breast augmentation, from £8,500: a wider range of implant sizes, profiles and pocket positions, suitable for a broader range of goals. See the breast augmentation cost guide.
- Motiva Preservé, from £9,500: a minimally invasive technique designed to preserve tissue planes, often done awake. See the Motiva Preservé cost guide.
The starting price of a MiniAug and a standard augmentation is the same because the main costs, such as the hospital, anaesthetist and implants, are similar. The difference lies in the aim and technique rather than the fee. Mr Nassab will explain which approach best matches your anatomy and the change you are hoping for.
Factors that can change your quote
Most MiniAug plans fall within the published fee, but your individual quote may differ if:
- Asymmetry: your breasts differ noticeably in size or shape and need different implants or additional sizing work.
- Breast shape: there is drooping that a small implant alone cannot address, in which case an uplift may be discussed instead.
- Combined procedures: you would like another procedure at the same time.
- Overnight stay: your recovery needs a longer hospital stay.
Your written quote will set out exactly what is included once Mr Nassab has examined you.
Who a MiniAug suits
A MiniAug tends to suit adults with good skin quality and a breast position that does not need lifting, who want a gentle change in fullness or shape. It is less suitable if you want a large increase in size, if there is significant sagging, or if there is marked tuberous shape. Smokers are asked to stop well before surgery, and a stable weight helps results last. Cosmetic surgery is for adults aged 18 and over.
Recovery and what to budget for
Recovery after a smaller implant is often more comfortable than after a larger one, although healing varies. Most people take around one to two weeks off desk-based work and avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for about six weeks. A supportive bra is worn day and night for the first weeks. Implants are not lifetime devices, so it is sensible to understand that further surgery may be needed in future, which would be a separate cost. Contact the surgical team urgently if one breast swells rapidly after surgery, and call 999 for chest pain or breathlessness.
Finance and choosing carefully
Finance may be available through Chrysalis Finance, subject to status. Reza Nassab Ltd is a credit broker, not a lender, and can introduce you to the finance provider, who makes its own lending decision. Low-cost augmentation abroad can look appealing, but the price often excludes follow-up, and managing a complication after you fly home can be difficult and expensive. Having your consultation, surgery and aftercare in one place means the team who operated is the team who reviews you.
