For patients in Cheshire, Mr Reza Nassab offers brow lift consultations at CLNQ, King Street, Knutsford, with surgery at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre, a short drive away. A brow lift raises eyebrows that have dropped with age, easing the heavy, hooded look they can create over the eyes. Many patients come from Knutsford, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Macclesfield and Altrincham, with consultations and follow-up close to home.
What the operation involves
Brow lifting restores the position of the eyebrows and the soft tissue of the forehead, which often settle lower from our forties onwards. The outer third of the brow tends to drop first, crowding the upper eyelids. The technique is chosen to suit you: short incisions within the hair for an endoscopic lift, a temple-based lift for the outer brow, an incision along the hairline where the forehead is already high, or, occasionally, a direct approach just above the brow. The operation typically lasts one to two hours under general anaesthetic or sedation. Find full details on the brow lift page.
Meeting Mr Nassab in Knutsford
Consultations at CLNQ on King Street are unhurried and take place directly with Mr Nassab. He will listen to what you would like to change, check your general health and medication, and assess the relationship between your brows, eyelids and forehead. Photographs are taken with consent for your records and planning. He will explain whether a brow lift, eyelid surgery or a combination fits your concerns, what scars to expect, and how long recovery is likely to take. The fee for this appointment is £150 and is separate from the surgical fee, which is from £11,500.
Your operation at Deansgate Hospital
You will be admitted on the morning of surgery, meet the nursing staff and your consultant anaesthetist, and go through the final plan with Mr Nassab, including pre-operative markings. Afterwards you will rest on the ward with nursing observation until you are ready to go home, usually the same day. An overnight stay may be recommended if the brow lift is combined with other facial surgery. A responsible adult should collect you and stay with you for the first night.
Local aftercare and follow-up
Follow-up appointments are arranged locally, so there is no need for long journeys during the early weeks when you may still be bruised and swollen. Stitches or clips are generally removed at around a week, with further reviews over the following months to check healing and the brow position. For a detailed timeline, see the brow lift recovery guide.
Patients across Cheshire
People from Knutsford, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Macclesfield, Altrincham and surrounding villages often prefer to keep consultations and aftercare in Cheshire, with the operation itself a short drive away in Manchester. Because you must not drive after a general anaesthetic or sedation, arrange a lift for the day of surgery. If Manchester is more convenient, consultations are also available at CLNQ, Deansgate Square; see brow lift in Manchester.
Who is a good candidate?
A brow lift may suit adults aged 18 and over with low or heavy brows, hooding that lifts when the brow is gently raised, or deep forehead lines from constantly raising the eyebrows. Good general health, stable weight and not smoking all support healing. It is important to know that a brow lift will not remove fine lines around the eyes or excess eyelid skin on its own. Our guide to brow lift versus blepharoplasty explains how the two procedures differ.
Safety and when to get in touch
You will be given 24-hour contact details. Call the team the same day for fever, a hot or discharging wound, or pain that is increasing; call urgently if one side of the forehead or one eye becomes rapidly swollen and tense, or your vision changes. For sudden leg swelling or calf pain, seek same-day advice from your GP or NHS 111, and dial 999 for chest pain or breathlessness. The brow lift risks page covers complications in more depth.
