The nose sits at the centre of the face, which means it plays a key role in overall facial balance and harmony.

When assessing a patient for rhinoplasty, it is important to consider how the nose relates to surrounding features such as the chin, forehead, and overall facial profile. In many cases, subtle refinements to the nose can bring these elements into better proportion, creating a more balanced and natural appearance.

Because every face is unique, rhinoplasty planning must always be individualised, focusing on how each feature works together rather than changing the nose in isolation.

As a Consultant ENT and Facial Plastic Surgeon, Mr Florian Bast approaches rhinoplasty with careful attention to both facial aesthetics and nasal function, ensuring results that complement the patient’s natural features.

A rhinoplasty consultation involves far more than simply assessing the external appearance of the nose.

When examining a patient, Mr Florian Bast carefully evaluates several key structural and functional factors. These include the position of the septum, the stability of the nasal valves, the size of the turbinates, as well as the skin thickness and cartilage support that shape the nose.

Understanding these elements allows a comprehensive view of both nasal function and facial balance, ensuring that any treatment, whether medical management, functional surgery, or rhinoplasty, is tailored to the individual patient.

As a Consultant ENT and Facial Plastic Surgeon, Mr Bast combines expertise in rhinology and facial plastic surgery to assess both breathing and aesthetics before developing a personalised treatment plan.

Your nose does far more than simply allow you to breathe.

Every day, it helps protect your lungs by filtering thousands of particles from the air. Nasal hairs trap larger debris such as dust and pollen, while mucus captures smaller irritants and bacteria. At the same time, structures known as turbinates help regulate airflow, warming and humidifying the air before it reaches the lungs.

Together, these mechanisms make the nose an important part of the body’s natural respiratory defence system.

As a Consultant ENT and Facial Plastic Surgeon, Mr Florian Bast frequently assesses nasal structure and airflow when investigating breathing concerns and treating conditions that affect nasal function.

A recent patient shared their experience after visiting Mr Florian Bast for persistent ear problems that had been affecting their day-to-day life.

During the consultation, Mr Bast carefully explained the possible causes of their symptoms, discussing how the ear functions and outlining potential treatment options in clear, accessible terms. This thorough and reassuring approach helped the patient feel at ease and confident in their care.

Following treatment, the patient reported that their pain and ear symptoms have completely resolved, allowing them to return to normal daily activities.

Feedback like this reflects Mr Bast’s commitment to clear communication, careful diagnosis, and patient-centred care when treating ear, nose, and throat conditions.

Thank you to my patient for allowing me to share these on-table and long-term results.⁠
⁠
After a nasal trauma, the patient developed significant breathing difficulties and a change in nasal shape. A strong structural reconstruction was required to rebuild the framework of the nose.⁠
⁠
The result: restored nasal breathing and a natural appearance over the long term.⁠
⁠
Restoring function and form always go hand in hand.⁠

Nasal trauma, whether from sports injuries, accidents, or childhood fractures, can have lasting effects that may not become obvious until years later.

Injury can alter the position of the nasal bones, septum, or cartilage, gradually affecting both the appearance of the nose and the way air flows through the nasal passages. Many patients notice breathing difficulties or nasal asymmetry long after the original injury has healed.
Understanding how trauma affects the nasal framework is important when assessing persistent nasal obstruction.

As a Consultant ENT and Facial Plastic Surgeon, Mr Florian Bast frequently treats post-traumatic nasal problems using functional rhinoplasty techniques designed to restore structural support, nasal airflow, and facial balance.

Rhinoplasty is often thought of as a cosmetic procedure, but the nose is also a critical part of the respiratory system.

Before planning any aesthetic changes, it is essential to assess the functional aspects of the nose, including the position of the septum, the stability of the nasal valves, and the overall airflow through the nasal passages.

Understanding these factors helps ensure that rhinoplasty improves or preserves breathing rather than compromising it.

As a Consultant ENT and Facial Plastic Surgeon, Mr Florian Bast approaches rhinoplasty with careful attention to both nasal function and facial aesthetics, ensuring treatment plans are tailored to each patient’s anatomy and long-term health.

Does your sneeze sound different after rhinoplasty?

It’s a question many patients don’t think to ask, but it does come up surprisingly often.

Because rhinoplasty involves making structural changes within the nasal cavity, it can sometimes slightly alter the way air moves through the nose. In some cases, this may mean a sneeze sounds a little different after surgery.

That said, the change is usually subtle, and most people find that their sneeze still sounds very much like their own.

In this Q&A, Mr Florian Bast, Consultant ENT and Facial Plastic Surgeon, explains why this can happen and what patients can realistically expect following rhinoplasty.

The nose plays an important role in warming, filtering, and humidifying the air we breathe. When airflow through the nose is restricted, the body may compensate by breathing through the mouth instead.⁠

Persistent mouth breathing can affect sleep quality, throat comfort, and overall respiratory health. In many cases, the underlying cause may be a structural issue within the nose, such as a deviated septum or narrowing of the nasal valves.⁠

Grateful to my lovely patient for allowing me to share these pre- and post-operative results.

Thick skin does not have to be a disadvantage in rhinoplasty. What matters most is a precise and stable reconstruction of the cartilaginous framework, allowing the new nasal shape to be properly supported and defined.

The procedure was performed using an open structural approach. The columellar incision, as well as the incisions from alar base and nostril sill reduction, heal extremely discreetly and are virtually invisible once matured.

For skin closure, I use very fine absorbable sutures (Vicryl Rapid 7-0), as fine as a human hair, to ensure the most delicate wound healing possible.
