Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation in ManchesterNatural breast enhancement using your own fat, with Mr Reza Nassab at Deansgate Hospital

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

In Manchester, Mr Reza Nassab offers fat transfer breast augmentation with consultations at CLNQ, Deansgate Square, and surgery at Deansgate Hospital in the city centre. The procedure uses your own fat, taken by liposuction from areas such as the tummy or thighs, to add a modest, natural-looking increase in breast volume without implants.

Who considers fat transfer to the breasts

Fat transfer tends to appeal to people who would like a subtle increase in fullness, improved upper-pole shape or correction of mild asymmetry, and who prefer not to have implants. It also suits some who have had implants removed and want to restore a little volume. It is not designed for a large change in cup size, and it depends on having enough spare fat. Liposuction to the donor area is an added benefit for many, although the main aim is the breast result. More detail is available on the fat transfer breast augmentation page.

Your consultation at CLNQ, Deansgate Square

Consultations are held at CLNQ, Deansgate Square, Manchester, and can also be arranged in Knutsford. Mr Nassab will talk through your goals, take a medical history including any personal or family history of breast disease, examine your breasts and assess possible donor areas. He will explain how much change is realistic, the fact that part of the grafted fat is reabsorbed and whether a second session might be needed. The consultation fee is £150, charged separately from surgery. Fat transfer breast augmentation costs from £12,500 with the final quote depending on the donor areas and volume planned.

Surgery at Deansgate Hospital

The operation is carried out at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre, usually under general anaesthesia given by a consultant anaesthetist. Fat is collected through small incisions, gently processed and injected into the breasts in many fine layers. The procedure typically takes two to three hours. Most patients go home the same day or the following morning, wearing a compression garment over the donor areas and a soft supportive bra.

Travelling from Greater Manchester and the North West

Patients come to Deansgate Hospital from throughout Greater Manchester, including Stockport, Tameside, Salford and Trafford, and from across the North West, including Cheshire, Lancashire and Merseyside. You will need someone to drive you home. If your journey is long, you may prefer to stay locally for the first night, and it is sensible to avoid long-haul travel for several weeks because of the risk of blood clots.

Preparing for surgery

In the weeks before your operation, stop smoking and all nicotine products, since grafted fat relies on a healthy blood supply to survive. Aim to be at a stable weight, as losing a lot of weight afterwards would also reduce the transferred fat. Buy two or three soft, non-wired bras in advance, and arrange time off work and help at home for the first few days. Mr Nassab will give written instructions about medicines, supplements and fasting before the anaesthetic.

Follow-up in Manchester

Follow-up appointments are arranged in Manchester, typically within the first two weeks, at around six weeks and again at three to six months, when the result has settled. At these reviews Mr Nassab checks healing, advises on returning to exercise and discusses whether any further fat transfer would be beneficial. You will have a direct contact number for the team throughout. The fat transfer breast recovery guide explains each stage.

Is fat transfer right for you?

You may be suitable if you want a modest, natural increase, have enough spare fat, maintain a stable weight and do not smoke. If you would like a more significant change, a breast augmentation with implants (priced from £8,500) may be more appropriate, and the two options are compared in the fat transfer vs implants guide. Cosmetic surgery is for adults aged 18 and over.
