For women in Cheshire considering a natural alternative to implants, Mr Reza Nassab offers fat transfer breast augmentation with consultations at CLNQ, King Street, Knutsford, and surgery at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre, a short drive away. Fat is gently harvested from an area such as the abdomen or thighs and grafted into the breasts to add soft, modest volume and improve shape.
What fat grafting can and cannot do
Fat transfer can restore fullness lost after breastfeeding or weight loss, soften a hollow upper chest, balance mild differences between the breasts and add gentle volume that feels like natural breast tissue. It cannot lift a drooping breast or create a large increase in size in a single session, and no one can predict exactly how much of the fat will survive. Many people find the combination of a subtle breast enhancement and a slimmer donor area appealing, provided expectations are realistic from the outset.
A consultation at CLNQ, King Street, Knutsford
Your appointment at CLNQ on King Street in Knutsford begins with a conversation about what you would like to achieve and why. Mr Nassab will ask about your health, pregnancies, breastfeeding plans, previous breast surgery and any family history of breast disease. He will examine your breasts, skin quality and potential donor sites and explain whether fat transfer, implants or a combined approach suits your aims. The consultation costs £150 and is separate from any surgical fee. Fat transfer to the breasts costs from £12,500. The consultation is charged separately.
Surgery at Deansgate Hospital, Manchester
The procedure is performed at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre, generally under general anaesthesia with a consultant anaesthetist. Liposuction is carried out through a few tiny incisions, and the fat is processed before being placed into the breasts in fine, layered deposits to give each one the best chance of establishing a blood supply. The operation usually lasts two to three hours. You will wake in a compression garment and soft bra, and most people are able to go home the same day or the next morning with someone to drive them.
Local to Knutsford, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Macclesfield and Altrincham
Mr Nassab looks after patients from Knutsford, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Macclesfield and Altrincham, as well as from the surrounding towns and villages of Cheshire. Having consultations, surgery and aftercare nearby makes it easier to attend reviews and reduces the strain of travel while the breasts and donor areas are healing.
Recovery and follow-up
Check-ups take place locally at CLNQ in Knutsford: usually within the first fortnight, again at about six weeks, and once more at three to six months, when the volume has settled. Most people take one to two weeks off desk-based work, sleep on their back for the first few weeks and avoid strenuous exercise until around six weeks. The compression garment is typically worn for four to six weeks. The team is available by phone if you have any worries. See the fat transfer breast risks guide for what is normal and what needs attention.
Planning ahead
Fat transfer works best when your weight is stable, you do not smoke and you are not planning a pregnancy soon, since weight change and breastfeeding can alter the result. If you want more volume than one session can safely provide, Mr Nassab may suggest a staged approach or discuss implants as an alternative. Where the breasts have lost position as well as volume, a breast lift may need to be part of the conversation. Cosmetic surgery is for adults aged 18 and over.
Breast screening and your future care
Fat transfer can create small areas of calcification or oil cysts that may show on future mammograms. These can usually be distinguished from concerning changes, but it is important to tell anyone performing breast imaging about your surgery and to continue routine screening. Depending on your age and history, a baseline scan may be suggested before the operation. Any new lump in the months or years afterwards should be checked by your GP promptly.
