MiniAug is available in Manchester with Consultant Plastic Surgeon Mr Reza Nassab. Consultations take place at CLNQ in Deansgate Square, and the procedure is performed at Deansgate Hospital in the city centre, where a Motiva Preserve implant is placed through a small incision under local anaesthetic while you are awake.
What MiniAug involves
MiniAug is a minimally invasive form of breast augmentation. Rather than a general anaesthetic, the breast is numbed with local anaesthetic, and the implant is placed through a short incision using a technique that aims to preserve the surrounding tissue. Mr Nassab typically uses the Motiva Preserve implant, which is designed for this kind of tissue-sparing placement. The goal is a natural, proportionate enhancement with a gentler recovery. It tends to suit women seeking a modest to moderate increase in size, and a traditional breast augmentation may be recommended instead for larger changes or where other factors apply.
Your consultation in Deansgate Square
Your first appointment is held at CLNQ in Deansgate Square, Manchester. Mr Nassab will talk through what you would like to change, take your medical history, examine your breasts and chest wall and measure your tissues. Implant sizers can help you visualise different volumes, and he will explain honestly whether MiniAug is suitable for your anatomy and goals. You will receive written information and a personalised quote, and you are encouraged to take time to reflect or return for a second consultation. Consultations are also available at CLNQ in Knutsford. The consultation fee is £150, charged separately from any procedure.
The day of your procedure at Deansgate Hospital
MiniAug is performed at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre. You will be admitted by the nursing team, meet Mr Nassab to confirm the plan and have markings made with you standing up. Because you remain awake, you can eat a light meal beforehand if advised, and many patients find the experience calmer than they expected. The team talks you through each stage and checks your comfort throughout. After a short period of observation, most people go home the same day with a companion, wearing a supportive surgical bra.
Coming from Greater Manchester and the North West
Patients travel to Deansgate Hospital from across Greater Manchester, including Salford, Oldham, Rochdale, Wigan and Bolton, as well as from Lancashire, Cheshire and Merseyside. As you are not recovering from a general anaesthetic, travelling home the same day as a passenger is usually straightforward, but you should not drive yourself. If you have a long journey, plan to break it up and wear comfortable, front-fastening clothing.
