If you live in Cheshire and are considering tuberous breast correction, Mr Reza Nassab sees patients at CLNQ on King Street, Knutsford, and operates at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre, a short drive away. Correction is planned individually for each breast and typically involves releasing the constricted tissue, creating a new fold, adding volume and reshaping the areola.
Signs that breasts may be tuberous
Many women spend years unsure why their breasts look different from those of friends, or why bras never seem to fit. Common signs include breasts that are narrow at the base and widely spaced, a breast fold that sits high on the chest, a flat or pinched lower half, and an areola that is large, domed or puffy. Often one breast is more affected than the other. These features develop during puberty and are a variation in breast development, not a disease. A specialist examination confirms the diagnosis and the degree of constriction.
Your first appointment in Knutsford
Consultations take place at CLNQ on King Street, Knutsford. Mr Nassab will discuss how the shape of your breasts affects you, examine and measure each side and explain in plain terms what correction involves. Because tuberous breasts vary so much, the plan may be different for each breast: one side might need more release, a different implant or a larger areola reduction. You will be shown where the scars would be, talk through the risks and receive a written, personalised quote. The consultation fee is £150, charged separately.
The operation at Deansgate Hospital
- Anaesthetic: correction is normally performed under general anaesthetic.
- Technique: the lower breast is released, the fold is lowered and an implant is placed to fill out the new shape.
- Areola: puffiness and size are reduced through a scar around the edge of the areola.
- Stay: many patients go home the same day, while some stay overnight.
- Staging: more severe cases may be corrected in two planned operations.
In some cases fat transfer is used to fine-tune contour or soft-tissue cover.
Supporting patients across Cheshire
Mr Nassab looks after patients from Knutsford, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Macclesfield and Altrincham, as well as the surrounding towns and villages. Having the consultation in Knutsford, surgery a short drive away in Manchester and follow-up close to home keeps travel short during a period when you will not be able to drive. Please arrange for someone to drive you home and to stay with you for the first night after your operation. Many patients find it helpful to prepare the house beforehand, with everyday items placed at waist height so there is no need to reach up or lift during the first fortnight.
Recovery and follow-up
Most patients take one to two weeks off desk-based work and avoid lifting, overhead reaching and strenuous exercise for about six weeks. The breasts often look high and firm at first, with the lower pole gradually rounding out over several months. Review appointments in Knutsford let Mr Nassab monitor the new fold, areola healing and symmetry. Contact the team urgently if one breast swells rapidly, and the same day for fever or spreading redness. For the full timeline, see the recovery guide.
Fees and finance
Tuberous breast correction costs from £8,500. The final price varies with what is needed, whether augmentation, an uplift, areola reduction, fat transfer or a combination, often different on each side, and is confirmed after assessment. The quote includes the surgeon and anaesthetist, hospital and theatre, implants, a surgical bra and routine follow-up. Finance may be available through Chrysalis Finance, and Reza Nassab Ltd acts as a credit broker, not a lender. Cosmetic surgery is only for adults aged 18 and over. To arrange a consultation, get in touch with the team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is tuberous breast correction performed in Cheshire?
Surgery takes place at Deansgate Hospital, Manchester, with consultations and reviews at CLNQ on King Street, Knutsford.
Is Knutsford convenient for follow-up from Altrincham?
Knutsford is within easy reach of Altrincham, and follow-up appointments can be scheduled there throughout your recovery.
Do both breasts have to be treated the same way?
No. Each breast is assessed separately, and the implant size, degree of release and areola reduction may differ between sides to improve symmetry.
Can tuberous breasts be treated with a breast lift alone?
A lift on its own does not usually address the constricted base or tight fold. It may be combined with release and an implant if there is significant droop.
Will my scars be visible?
Scars are usually placed around the areola and sometimes in the breast fold. They fade over 12 to 18 months and are generally hidden by underwear and swimwear.
How long does the operation take?
Timing varies with the techniques needed for each breast. Allow most of a day at Deansgate Hospital for admission, surgery and recovery before discharge, unless an overnight stay is planned.
