For patients in Cheshire, Mr Reza Nassab performs the skinny BBL under general anaesthetic at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre, with consultations at CLNQ on King Street, Knutsford. It is a subtle buttock enhancement for slim people, using a small volume of their own fat, harvested by liposuction and placed only beneath the skin in keeping with BAAPS safety advice.
A procedure shaped around a slim frame
Traditional buttock fat grafting relies on having plenty of fat to move. A skinny BBL is planned differently: the surgeon works with a limited supply, so every donor site is chosen for its contribution to the overall contour. Liposuction to the flanks and lower back can sharpen the waist and make the buttocks appear higher, while the grafted fat adds gentle projection or fills hollows at the sides of the hips. The aim is a proportionate, natural shape rather than a large change in size.
Seeing Mr Nassab at CLNQ, King Street, Knutsford
Your first appointment is at CLNQ on King Street in Knutsford. Mr Nassab will ask about your goals, medical history and any previous procedures, then assess your buttocks, hips and fat reserves. He will be clear about whether you have enough fat for a worthwhile change and what a realistic outcome looks like, since part of the graft is naturally reabsorbed. The consultation costs £150, which is separate from the surgical fee. A skinny BBL costs from £11,500 and your final price is confirmed after this assessment because every plan is individual.
On the day at Deansgate Hospital
Surgery is carried out at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre, a short drive from Knutsford, under general anaesthesia given by a consultant anaesthetist. Mr Nassab will review the plan with you and mark the donor and treatment areas before you go to theatre. The operation generally takes two to three hours. You will wake in a compression garment and, in most cases, go home later that day or the next morning. Arrange for someone to collect you and bring a cushion to support your thighs in the car so that your buttocks are not under pressure.
Patients from across Cheshire
Mr Nassab sees patients from Knutsford, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Macclesfield and Altrincham, as well as the wider county and neighbouring areas. Having consultations and check-ups close to home, and surgery a short drive away, makes the early weeks simpler, particularly as long periods of sitting should be avoided. For many, the journey between home and Deansgate Hospital is short enough to manage comfortably with a thigh cushion.
Recovery and local check-ups
Follow-up appointments are arranged locally. You will usually be seen within the first fortnight to check the incisions, again at around six weeks when exercise can be reintroduced, and once more when the result has settled. Most people take about two weeks off desk-based work and avoid direct sitting for two to three weeks. If anything worries you between visits, the team can be contacted directly. The skinny BBL risks guide explains what is normal and which symptoms need attention.
Who is suitable?
You may be a good candidate if you are slim with some spare fat, have kept a stable weight for several months, are a non-smoker and are looking for a refined rather than dramatic change. If you have very little fat, a skinny BBL may not be possible, and Mr Nassab will discuss this openly. In that situation, alternatives might include liposuction alone to refine the waist and flanks, which can make the buttocks look more shapely without grafting, or simply accepting your natural contour. Planned pregnancy or significant weight loss are also reasons to delay surgery until your weight is settled. Cosmetic surgery is for adults aged 18 and over. Before your consultation, you may find the skinny BBL questions to ask helpful.
