Liposuction in CheshireConsultations in Knutsford and surgery at Deansgate Hospital, Manchester

Medically reviewed: Last reviewed by Mr Reza Nassab, FRCS Plast —

For patients in Cheshire, Mr Reza Nassab holds liposuction consultations at CLNQ on King Street, Knutsford, and operates at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre, a short drive away. Many patients come from Knutsford, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Macclesfield and Altrincham. Liposuction costs from £7,500 for one area, and follow-up can take place in Knutsford.

What liposuction involves

Liposuction contours areas where fat persists despite a balanced diet and regular exercise. Through incisions of a few millimetres, a slim cannula removes fat from the deeper layer beneath the skin to refine the shape of the abdomen, waist, hips, thighs, knees, arms, back or jawline. Depending on the area and skin quality, Mr Nassab may recommend standard liposuction, Vaser liposuction or BodyTite. The goal is proportion and a smoother silhouette rather than weight loss.

Consultation at CLNQ, King Street, Knutsford

Your first appointment is with Mr Nassab at CLNQ on King Street in Knutsford. He will go through your medical background, current weight and any recent changes, and what you would like to achieve. The examination looks at fat distribution, skin elasticity and symmetry, and photographs are taken with your consent. He will then talk through whether liposuction is appropriate, which technique suits you and what the recovery would mean for your work and family commitments. A written quotation follows. The consultation costs £150, which is always charged separately.

Surgery at Deansgate Hospital, Manchester

Operations under general anaesthetic take place at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre, a short drive from Knutsford. You will be admitted on the day, meet your anaesthetist and have your treatment areas marked. Most liposuction is carried out under general anaesthetic; smaller areas occasionally suit local anaesthetic, which may be carried out at CLNQ. Many patients return home later the same day, while more extensive procedures may involve an overnight stay. Arrange for an adult to collect you and stay with you for the first night.

Patients from across Cheshire

Being close to home during recovery is a practical advantage. Patients from Knutsford, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Macclesfield and Altrincham can attend consultations and reviews without a long journey, which matters in the first week when you are wearing a compression garment and are advised not to drive. Patients from elsewhere in Cheshire and the surrounding counties are also welcome, and Mr Nassab additionally consults in Manchester if that suits your plans better.

Recovery and follow-up

  • Days one to three: soreness, swelling and some fluid leakage from the incisions; rest with short, regular walks.
  • Week one: a nurse wound check; many people are back to light desk work towards the end of the first or second week.
  • Weeks two to six: the garment continues; driving once you can brake firmly and turn comfortably, often after one to two weeks.
  • Three to six months: swelling continues to settle and the contour becomes clearer.
  • Follow-up in Knutsford: reviews with Mr Nassab are arranged at CLNQ, King Street.

Call 999 for chest pain or breathlessness, and seek same-day advice from your GP or NHS 111 for sudden one-sided calf pain or swelling.

Planning around work and home life

Recovery is easier with some preparation. Arrange time off work, help with childcare or heavy lifting for the first week or two, and loose, dark clothing that fits over your garment. Stock up on easy meals and absorbent pads before the day of surgery. Stop smoking and nicotine products in good time, and let the team know about all medicines and supplements you take. Having your consultation and reviews in Knutsford means the practical side of recovery stays local.

Is it right for you?

Liposuction suits adults aged 18 and over who are close to a stable weight, in good health and with reasonable skin tone. It is not designed for significant loose skin, which may need a lift or tuck procedure, or for weight that is still changing. You can read more in who is a candidate for liposuction.
