Women in Cheshire can have MiniAug with Mr Reza Nassab, with consultations at CLNQ on King Street, Knutsford, and surgery at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre, a short drive away. MiniAug is an awake breast augmentation, performed under local anaesthetic through a small incision, that aims to deliver a natural enhancement with a quicker return to everyday life.
A different approach to breast augmentation
Traditional breast augmentation is usually carried out under general anaesthetic. MiniAug takes a less invasive route: local anaesthetic numbs the breast, a short incision is made, and the implant, usually a Motiva Preserve, is positioned using a technique designed to preserve surrounding tissue. Many patients find the idea of staying awake reassuring rather than daunting, as they avoid the after-effects of a general anaesthetic and can be up and about quickly. It is particularly suited to women looking for a subtle or moderate increase in volume.
Who MiniAug suits
- Goals: a natural-looking, proportionate enhancement rather than a very large change.
- Health: good general health, a stable weight and not smoking or vaping.
- Anatomy: enough breast tissue to cover the chosen implant and no significant droop needing a lift.
- Timing: not planning a pregnancy soon and not currently breastfeeding.
- Age: cosmetic surgery is only offered to adults aged 18 and over.
If MiniAug is not the right fit, Mr Nassab can discuss a traditional augmentation or a breast lift with implants.
Your consultation at CLNQ, Knutsford
At CLNQ on King Street, Knutsford, Mr Nassab spends time understanding what you want to achieve and why. He examines and measures the breasts, assesses skin quality and symmetry, and uses sizers to help you explore volume and shape. He will explain the benefits and limits of MiniAug for your body, the risks of implants, and what recovery involves. You will leave with written information and a personalised quote, with no pressure to decide on the day. The consultation fee is £150, charged separately.
Surgery at Deansgate Hospital
Your MiniAug procedure takes place at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre. You will be welcomed by the nursing team, and Mr Nassab will confirm the plan and mark the breasts while you are standing. Throughout the procedure you are awake, and the team talks with you and checks your comfort. Afterwards you rest for a while before going home the same day, wearing your supportive bra and with clear written aftercare instructions.
For patients across Cheshire
Mr Nassab welcomes patients from Knutsford, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Macclesfield and Altrincham, as well as the wider county and neighbouring areas. With consultations and reviews in Knutsford, the journey for most local patients is short, which many find helpful for the early review appointments. You will need a friend or family member to take you home on the day of the procedure.
Recovery and aftercare
Most MiniAug patients return to light daily activities within a day or two and to desk-based work within a few days, while avoiding heavy lifting, overhead reaching and strenuous exercise for several weeks. Follow-up appointments in Knutsford allow Mr Nassab to check the incision and see how the implants settle. Contact the team urgently if one breast swells rapidly, and the same day for fever or spreading redness. Full details are in the MiniAug recovery guide.

Consultations are at CLNQ on King Street, Knutsford, and the procedure is performed at Deansgate Hospital, Manchester.
How far will patients from Alderley Edge need to travel?
Knutsford is close to Alderley Edge, so consultations and reviews take place nearby, and Deansgate Hospital in Manchester is a short drive away.
How long does the MiniAug procedure take?
The procedure itself is relatively short, but allow several hours at the hospital for admission, marking, surgery and a period of rest before going home.
Is it safe to drive home afterwards?

Is MiniAug suitable if one breast is smaller than the other?
Mild asymmetry can often be improved by choosing a different implant for each side. More significant differences may need a traditional approach, which Mr Nassab will discuss.
