Mr Reza Nassab offers Motiva Preservé breast augmentation to patients in Manchester, with consultations at CLNQ, Deansgate Square and surgery at Deansgate Hospital in the city centre. Preservé is a minimally invasive approach that uses a short incision and careful, limited pocket dissection, and it can often be performed with you awake under local anaesthetic and sedation.
What Motiva Preservé involves
Preservé is a surgical philosophy rather than a new implant. The operation is designed around preserving tissue: a short incision, a pocket made only as large as the implant needs, minimal disturbance of muscle and blood vessels and gentle handling throughout. It uses Motiva breast implants, and the pocket is most often created above the muscle or beneath the fascia (the thin layer covering the chest muscle), depending on how much natural breast tissue you have. The aim is a soft, natural-looking enhancement with a comfortable recovery. It suits people wanting a modest, proportionate increase rather than a very large change. You can read more on the main Motiva Preservé page.
Your consultation at CLNQ, Deansgate Square
Your first appointment takes place at CLNQ, Deansgate Square, Manchester, with Mr Nassab himself. He will listen to what you would like to change, take a medical history, examine and measure your chest, assess skin quality and breast tissue thickness, and explain whether Preservé or a more conventional augmentation is the better fit. You can try implant sizers in a fitted top to get a feel for volume. The consultation fee is £150 and is charged separately from any surgical quote. Appointments are also available at CLNQ in Knutsford if that is more convenient.
Surgery day at Deansgate Hospital
Preservé procedures for Manchester patients are carried out at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre. On the day you will meet the anaesthetist and nursing team, have your markings made and sign your consent form. Many patients have the operation awake under local anaesthetic with sedation, while others choose a general anaesthetic; this is agreed in advance. Most people go home the same day with a supportive surgical bra and written instructions, and you will need an adult to drive you home and stay with you overnight.
Travelling in from Greater Manchester and the North West
Patients come from across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside, Yorkshire and further afield. Because the consultation, the operation and follow-up visits can all be arranged in Manchester, it helps to plan travel for each stage. If you live some distance away, allow for a comfortable journey home as a passenger on the day of surgery, and avoid long drives until you are off pain relief and can brake and turn the wheel without discomfort.
Aftercare and follow-up in Manchester
Follow-up appointments are arranged in Manchester so you can be seen by the team that looked after you. A typical pattern is a wound check within the first week or two, a review at around six weeks and a later appointment once the breasts have settled. You will have a contact number for the team at any time in the early weeks.
- Contact the team the same day: if you develop a fever, or redness spreading around the wound.
- Contact the team urgently: if one breast rapidly swells or becomes very tense and painful.
- Same-day GP or NHS 111: for sudden one-sided leg swelling or calf pain.
- Call 999: for chest pain or breathlessness.
Is Preservé right for you?
Preservé tends to suit adults aged 18 and over who are at a stable weight, in good health and not smoking, and who want a natural-looking result with a moderate implant size. Very large implants, significant sagging or marked asymmetry may be better managed with a different approach, such as a breast augmentation through a longer incision or an augmentation mastopexy. Mr Nassab will explain the options honestly at your consultation.
Cost
Motiva Preservé surgery costs from £9,500 with your exact fee confirmed once the plan and anaesthetic choice are agreed. Conventional breast augmentation starts from £8,500 for comparison. The quote covers the surgeon, anaesthetist, hospital stay, implants, garment and routine follow-up; the £150 consultation is separate. See the prices page for current figures.
