Mr Reza Nassab offers tuberous breast correction in Manchester, with consultations at CLNQ in Deansgate Square and surgery at Deansgate Hospital in the city centre. Treatment is tailored to each breast and usually combines releasing the tight lower breast, lowering the fold, adding an implant and reducing the areola, with follow-up available in Manchester.
Understanding tuberous breasts
Tuberous (or tubular) breasts are a developmental variation that becomes apparent during puberty. Typical features include a narrow breast base, a high or tight breast fold, a short or flat lower half of the breast, and a large or puffy areola into which breast tissue appears to bulge. One or both breasts may be affected, and they are often noticeably uneven. The condition is not harmful to health, but many women find it affects their confidence and their choice of clothing. The appearance varies from very mild to marked, so treatment is individually planned.
How correction works
- Tissue release: tight bands in the lower breast are released so the breast can expand into a rounder shape.
- New breast fold: the fold is lowered and redefined to create a more natural lower pole.
- Volume: an implant, chosen separately for each side where needed, adds volume and shape.
- Areola reduction: the areola is reduced and the tissue herniation corrected through a scar around its edge.
- Additional techniques: fat transfer or a lift may be combined, and severe cases can be staged.
Consultation at CLNQ, Deansgate Square
Your consultation takes place at CLNQ in Deansgate Square, Manchester, in a private and unhurried setting. Mr Nassab will listen to your concerns, examine and measure both breasts, assess the degree of constriction and areola involvement, and explain which elements of correction would help you. You will be able to try implant sizers and discuss the likely scars, risks and recovery. A written plan and quote follow, and you are welcome to return for a second consultation before deciding. Consultations are also available at CLNQ in Knutsford. The consultation fee is £150 and is charged separately.
Surgery at Deansgate Hospital
Tuberous breast correction is carried out at Deansgate Hospital in Manchester city centre, usually under general anaesthetic. On the day, you will meet the nursing and anaesthetic teams, and Mr Nassab will review the plan and make markings with you standing. Many patients go home the same day, while some stay overnight depending on the extent of surgery. You will leave wearing a supportive bra and with written aftercare advice and contact details.
Travelling from across the North West
Patients come to Deansgate Hospital from throughout Greater Manchester, including Stockport, Trafford, Tameside and Salford, and from wider areas such as Lancashire, Merseyside and West Yorkshire. As this is surgery under general anaesthetic, you must not drive yourself home, and a responsible adult should stay with you for the first night. If you are travelling a long distance, allow time for rest stops and plan a quiet first few days at home.
Aftercare in Manchester
Follow-up appointments can be held in Manchester, so Mr Nassab can check your wounds, the position of the new fold and how the implants settle. Desk work is often possible after one to two weeks, and strenuous exercise is usually avoided for around six weeks. Contact the team urgently if one breast swells rapidly, and the same day if you develop fever or spreading redness. Our tuberous breast recovery guide describes each stage.
Cost
Tuberous breast correction costs from £8,500. The final price varies with the procedure needed, such as augmentation, an uplift, areola reduction, fat transfer or a combination, and the plan often differs between the two sides; it is confirmed after assessment. Your quote includes the surgeon, anaesthetist, hospital and theatre costs, implants, a surgical bra and routine follow-up. Finance may be available through Chrysalis Finance; Reza Nassab Ltd is a credit broker, not a lender. Cosmetic surgery is only for adults aged 18 and over. See our prices page for general fees.
