What nose reshaping can address
Rhinoplasty alters the bone and cartilage framework of the nose to change its shape or proportions. Typical goals include softening a prominent bridge, narrowing a broad nose, lifting or refining a heavy tip and straightening a nose that has become crooked. When a deviated septum makes breathing difficult, it can usually be corrected in the same operation. The emphasis is on a result that looks natural and suits the rest of your face.

Meeting Mr Nassab in Knutsford
Consultations at CLNQ, King Street take place in a private, unhurried setting. Mr Nassab will listen to what you would like to change, then examine your nose inside and out, assess skin thickness and cartilage strength, and look at your profile as a whole. He will explain which techniques are likely to be needed, whether an open or closed approach suits you, and what recovery involves. Photographs are taken for planning, and you are welcome to bring a partner, friend or relative with you. You will leave with a written quote and are encouraged to return for a second consultation before making a decision. Cosmetic surgery is only for adults aged 18 and over.
Your operation at Deansgate Hospital
Surgery is performed at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre under general anaesthetic, with a consultant anaesthetist. You will arrive on the day of surgery, meet the nursing team and have a final discussion with Mr Nassab. The operation usually takes a few hours. Many patients return home the same day, while others stay overnight for comfort. You will need someone to collect you and stay with you for the first night, and you will be given written instructions and a contact number before discharge.
Patients 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 consultations and follow-up close to home, with surgery a short drive away in Manchester, can make the first weeks of recovery easier and means family can support you more easily, as there is less travelling while your nose is swollen and you are resting. Patients who prefer a city-centre option can also be seen in Manchester; see rhinoplasty in Manchester.
After surgery: follow-up in Knutsford
Around a week after the operation, your splint and any external stitches are removed at CLNQ in Knutsford. Further appointments are arranged in the weeks and months that follow to check your breathing, monitor swelling and review your progress with photographs. Routine follow-up is included in the surgical fee, and appointments can be arranged around work and family commitments where possible. If anything concerns you between appointments, you can contact the team directly.
Recovery at home
Rest with your head raised for the first few nights and expect the nose to feel stuffy. Bruising around the eyes generally fades within two weeks. Avoid blowing your nose, bending and heavy lifting in the early period, and keep away from contact sports for around six weeks. Most people feel ready to return to office work after one to two weeks. The final shape continues to refine for a year or more as tip swelling settles. Heavy bleeding that does not ease with pressure, fever or spreading redness should be reported to the team the same day; calf swelling needs same-day GP or NHS 111 advice, and chest pain or breathlessness a 999 call.
Fees
Rhinoplasty costs from £8,950. This includes the surgeon’s and anaesthetist’s fees, hospital and theatre costs at Deansgate Hospital, and routine follow-up. The £150 consultation fee is separate. Revision and complex reconstructive work are quoted at consultation. See the rhinoplasty cost guide for finance information.
