Mr Reza Nassab offers rhinoplasty for adults in Manchester, with consultations at CLNQ in Deansgate Square and surgery at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre. Consultations are also available at CLNQ in Knutsford. Rhinoplasty costs from £8,950 and the £150 consultation fee is charged separately.
Nose reshaping in brief
Rhinoplasty changes the shape, size or proportions of the nose, and can include work to improve breathing at the same time. Common requests include reducing a hump on the bridge, refining a broad or bulbous tip, straightening a nose that has shifted after an injury and correcting a drooping tip. The operation is carried out under general anaesthetic, through incisions inside the nose (closed approach) or with an additional small incision across the column between the nostrils (open approach). The aim is a nose that sits in balance with the rest of the face, rather than a standard shape applied to everyone.
Your consultation at CLNQ, Deansgate Square
The first appointment is with Mr Nassab himself. He will ask what bothers you about your nose, whether you have any breathing symptoms, and about previous injuries, allergies and nasal sprays. He will examine the outside and inside of the nose, assess the skin thickness, and look at how the nose relates to the forehead, lips and chin. Standardised photographs are taken to support the discussion. You will receive a written quote, and a second consultation is encouraged before booking so you have time to reflect. Surgery is only offered to adults aged 18 and over.
Surgery at Deansgate Hospital
On the day of surgery you will be admitted to Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre, where you will meet the anaesthetist and the ward team, and Mr Nassab will go through the plan with you once more. Most rhinoplasty patients go home the same day or after one night, depending on the procedure and how they feel. You will need a responsible adult to take you home and stay with you for the first night. Written aftercare instructions are provided before you leave, including how to clean the nostrils and what to watch for.
Follow-up appointments in Manchester
Your splint and any stitches are usually removed about a week after surgery at a follow-up appointment. Further reviews are arranged over the following months to check healing and to look at how swelling is settling, with photographs taken at intervals so changes can be compared. Follow-up is arranged in Manchester or at CLNQ in Knutsford, whichever suits you better, and the routine appointments are included in your surgical fee.
Travelling from Greater Manchester and the North West
Patients come to the Manchester clinic from across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside, West Yorkshire and further afield in the North West. If you are travelling some distance, it helps to plan for someone to drive you home after surgery, because you must not drive yourself on the day of a general anaesthetic. Some patients who live further away choose to stay nearby for the first night. Try to keep your first week free of long journeys, as you will want to rest with your head raised.
Recovery and aftercare
Expect the nose to feel blocked for the first week or two, and bruising and swelling around the eyes, which typically settle over about two weeks. Many people return to desk-based work after one to two weeks, but contact sports and heavy lifting are avoided for around six weeks, and glasses should not rest on the bridge until you are advised it is safe. Subtle swelling, particularly at the tip, can take twelve months or more to resolve. If you have concerns at any stage, you can contact the team directly. Heavy bleeding that does not stop with pressure, fever or spreading redness should be reported to the team the same day, and chest pain or breathlessness needs a 999 call.
