Motiva Preservé in CheshireConsultations at CLNQ, King Street, Knutsford, with surgery at Deansgate Hospital, Manchester

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

Patients in Cheshire can have Motiva Preservé breast augmentation with Mr Reza Nassab, meeting him for consultations at CLNQ on King Street, Knutsford, and having surgery at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre, a short drive away. Preservé places Motiva implants through a short incision with minimal disturbance of the surrounding tissues, and many patients choose to have it under local anaesthetic with sedation.

Preservé at a glance

Rather than a new type of implant, Preservé is an approach that respects the breast’s natural anatomy. The incision is kept short, the implant pocket is shaped precisely to the implant, and muscle and blood vessels are disturbed as little as possible. Implants are usually placed above the muscle or beneath the fascia, depending on your tissue thickness. The approach aims for a soft, proportionate enhancement and a more comfortable early recovery. It is best suited to moderate volume increases. Further detail is on the Motiva Preservé page.

Meeting Mr Nassab in Knutsford

Consultations take place at CLNQ, King Street, Knutsford, a clinic Mr Nassab co-founded. The appointment is unhurried and is always with the surgeon who would perform your operation. He will ask about your goals and medical history, examine and measure the breasts, and explain whether Preservé suits your anatomy. You can try sizers under a fitted top and discuss implant profiles and the likely position of the scar. The consultation costs £150, charged separately from the surgical fee, and a second visit before surgery is encouraged.

Your operation at Deansgate Hospital

Cheshire patients have their surgery at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre. On arrival you will be welcomed by the nursing team, meet your anaesthetist to confirm whether you are having sedation with local anaesthetic or a general anaesthetic, and see Mr Nassab for markings and final questions. The procedure itself is typically completed in a morning or afternoon, and most patients return home the same day wearing a supportive bra, with an adult to accompany them.

Patients from across Cheshire

Mr Nassab sees patients from Knutsford, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Macclesfield and Altrincham, as well as the wider Cheshire and South Manchester area. Having the consultation, surgery and aftercare close to home can make the whole process simpler, particularly in the first weeks when you will not be driving. If you live further away, it is worth planning who will drive you to the hospital and your early follow-ups. Some patients from Wilmslow or Alderley Edge find it convenient to recover at home, within easy reach of Knutsford, which makes the first review straightforward, while others arrange to stay with family nearby for the first few days.

Aftercare close to home

Your follow-up appointments are arranged locally, usually with a wound check in the first week or two, a review at around six weeks and a later visit once the implants have settled. You will be given a direct contact number for the team. Common early experiences include tightness, swelling and a high, firm look to the breasts, which gradually softens.

  • Contact the team urgently: if one breast swells rapidly or becomes very tense and painful.
  • Contact the team the same day: for a fever or redness spreading around the wound.
  • Same-day GP or NHS 111: for sudden calf pain or swelling in one leg.
  • Call 999: for chest pain or breathlessness.

Who suits Preservé

Preservé tends to suit adults aged 18 or over who are healthy, non-smoking and at a stable weight, with little sagging and a wish for a natural-looking result. If the breasts have dropped significantly, a breast lift or an augmentation mastopexy may be more appropriate. Mr Nassab will explain the reasons behind his recommendation.

Fees

Motiva Preservé breast augmentation is from £9,500 with the final quote depending on implant choice and anaesthetic. For reference, conventional breast augmentation is from £8,500. Your quote includes the surgeon, anaesthetist, hospital and theatre, implants, surgical bra and routine follow-up. Finance may be available through Chrysalis Finance; Reza Nassab Ltd is a credit broker, not a lender. See the prices page for more information.
