The definition is at the beginning of the clue.
How the clue works
The definition is Operation — specifically a surgical nose job. Afro gives you RHINO (the African beast), then the "end of scalpel" (just the letter L) slices inside Cornish meat dish (PASTY) to make PLASTY, and the two halves bundle together nicely.
