Mr Reza Nassab offers Motiva Preservé breast augmentation in London, with consultations at CLNQ, Battersea Reach and surgery at a private hospital in London. Preservé is a minimally invasive technique using a short incision and a precisely made implant pocket, and it can often be carried out awake under local anaesthetic with sedation.
The Preservé approach
The goal of Preservé is to achieve a natural enhancement while disturbing as little tissue as possible. Motiva implants are inserted through a short incision, typically in the crease beneath the breast, into a pocket that is made only as large as needed. Keeping the muscle and blood supply largely undisturbed is intended to reduce pain, bruising and recovery time. It is most suitable for moderate implant sizes. For more on the technique, see the Motiva Preservé page.
Consulting at CLNQ, Battersea Reach
Your consultation is held at CLNQ, Battersea Reach, London, and is always with Mr Nassab. He will discuss what you hope to achieve, review your medical history, take measurements and assess skin and tissue cover. You will talk through implant size and profile, where the scar would sit and whether Preservé or another option suits you best. The consultation costs £150 and is separate from any surgical fee. Taking time to reflect, and attending a second consultation, is encouraged before booking.
Surgery in London
Preservé surgery for London patients takes place at a private hospital in London with full theatre and inpatient facilities and a consultant anaesthetist. You will be admitted on the day, meet the anaesthetist and nursing team, and have your markings made. The procedure can be performed with sedation and local anaesthetic or under general anaesthetic, depending on what has been agreed. Most patients are discharged the same day.
Travelling in for your care
Patients come to London from across the capital, the Home Counties, the rest of the UK and overseas. If you are travelling from further away, plan to stay locally for at least the first night after surgery and ideally until your first check. Long journeys, and flights in particular, raise the risk of blood clots after an operation, so you should discuss travel plans with the team before booking. Mr Nassab also practises in Manchester, Cheshire and Dubai, which some patients find helpful for follow-up. Returning to work in the City or elsewhere in London is often possible within about a week for desk-based roles, although commuting on crowded transport, carrying bags and reaching for overhead handrails should be approached with care in the early weeks.
Follow-up arrangements
Follow-up appointments are arranged at CLNQ, Battersea Reach. A typical schedule includes a wound review in the first week or two, a check at around six weeks and a later assessment once the implants have settled. If you live far from London, the timing of these appointments can be planned around your travel, and you will have a direct contact number for the team throughout your recovery.
- One breast suddenly swelling or very painful: contact the surgical team urgently.
- Fever or spreading redness: contact the team the same day.
- Sudden one-sided calf pain or leg swelling: same-day GP or NHS 111.
- Chest pain or breathlessness: call 999.
Is it right for you?
Preservé usually suits healthy adults aged 18 and over who are non-smokers at a stable weight, with minimal sagging and a preference for a natural look. When there is significant drooping or asymmetry, Mr Nassab may recommend a different operation, such as an augmentation mastopexy. The candidate guide explains suitability in more detail.
