Rhinoplasty is often perceived as a cosmetic procedure, but in reality, it is one of the most complex operations in facial surgery.

The nose plays a critical functional role, and even small structural changes can have a significant impact on breathing and long-term stability. Surgery involves multiple tissue layers, each responding differently during healing, which is why precision, planning, and experience are essential.

As a Consultant ENT and Facial Plastic Surgeon, Mr Florian Bast approaches rhinoplasty with equal focus on structure, airflow, and aesthetics, ensuring that results are not only refined, but durable and functional.

Understanding this complexity is key to making informed decisions, and choosing the right surgeon matters.

A recent patient shared their experience of undergoing septorhinoplasty with Mr Florian Bast, describing the journey as seamless, supportive, and deeply reassuring, particularly as they had significant anxiety around surgery and anaesthesia.

From the very first point of contact, they felt supported by the wider team, with clear communication, flexibility, and understanding throughout the process. During consultation, Mr Bast’s knowledge, calm approach, and willingness to answer every question gave them immediate confidence that they were in safe hands.

They highlighted how reassurance continued beyond surgery, with attentive follow-up and access to advice whenever concerns arose, including prompt support when an unexpected reaction to medication occurred. By carefully following aftercare guidance, their recovery progressed smoothly, with results they were pleased with from the earliest stages.

At 12 months post-surgery, they described being delighted with the outcome: a straightened, well-aligned nose, significantly improved breathing, and renewed confidence in their appearance.

Feedback like this reflects Mr Bast’s commitment to expert care, clear communication, and long-term patient support, particularly for those who feel anxious or uncertain before surgery.

Not all nasal breathing problems are caused by congestion or allergies.

If symptoms are persistent, one-sided, or fail to improve with sprays, there may be a structural cause affecting airflow. Previous injury, surgery, or long-standing deviation can all contribute to ongoing obstruction.

As a Consultant ENT and Facial Plastic Surgeon, Mr Florian Bast assesses nasal breathing in detail, examining the septum, nasal valves, and airway dynamics, to determine whether symptoms are inflammatory, functional, or structural.

Identifying the cause is the first step towards effective treatment, whether that involves medical management or functional nasal surgery.

Many people notice that they breathe better through one nostril than the other, and in many cases, this is completely normal.⁠
⁠
The nose follows a natural rhythm known as the nasal cycle, where airflow alternates between sides throughout the day. However, if one nostril is persistently blocked and never seems to clear, this may indicate an underlying structural issue such as a deviated septum, nasal valve narrowing, or turbinate enlargement.⁠
⁠
Understanding the difference between normal physiology and a genuine obstruction is key.⁠

As a Consultant ENT and Facial Plastic Surgeon, Mr Florian Bast assesses nasal breathing in detail, ensuring that patients receive appropriate reassurance, medical treatment, or functional surgery when needed.⁠

16/02/2026

The nasal valve is the narrowest part of the nasal airway, and one of the most common causes of nasal breathing difficulty.⁠
⁠
Because it is so small, even subtle changes in structure or support can significantly affect airflow. Many patients describe symptoms such as persistent blockage, difficulty exercising, or a sensation of the nose “collapsing” when breathing in.⁠
⁠
Importantly, nasal valve problems are often not visible externally, which is why specialist ENT assessment is essential.⁠
⁠
As a Consultant ENT and Facial Plastic Surgeon, Mr Florian Bast routinely assesses the nasal valve when evaluating breathing concerns and during functional rhinoplasty or revision surgery, ensuring that airflow, structure, and long-term stability are addressed together.⁠

Before & After Explained: Restoring Nasal Structure in GPA

Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA) is a rare autoimmune condition that causes inflammation of small and medium blood vessels. It commonly affects the nose and sinuses, where reduced blood supply can lead to tissue damage, cartilage loss, and collapse of the nasal framework. Over time, this can significantly impact both breathing and facial structure.

These images show a direct before-and-after comparison following nasal reconstruction using rib cartilage grafts. In cases where the native nasal cartilage has been damaged or lost, rib cartilage provides strong, reliable structural support to rebuild the nose and restore stability.

Managing complex autoimmune-related nasal collapse requires more than surgical technique alone. Careful multidisciplinary collaboration with rheumatologists is essential to ensure the underlying disease is medically controlled before and after surgery, helping to protect both healing and long-term results.

This case highlights the importance of addressing structure, function, and disease control together when planning reconstructive and functional rhinoplasty.

Grateful to my patient for consenting to share these pre- and post-operative images.

Complex revision reconstructive septorhinoplasty following previous nasal reconstruction for cartilaginous collapse secondary to Wegener’s granulomatosis. A rigid rib graft was explanted, and the nasal framework was re-established using structural grafting combined with diced cartilage paste to restore both support and contour.

In inflammatory / autoimmune cases like this, meticulous framework reconstruction and close coordination with rheumatology are critical to optimise healing, stability, and long-term outcomes.

Rhinoplasty recovery can feel overwhelming, especially if you don’t know what to expect.

Swelling, congestion, and gradual changes are all part of the normal healing process, and final results take time to settle. However, some symptoms should never be ignored and need prompt review.

This is why expert assessment and ongoing aftercare are just as important as the surgery itself.

As a Consultant ENT and Facial Plastic Surgeon, Mr Florian Bast monitors both the structural healing and nasal function throughout recovery, offering reassurance when symptoms are normal and swift assessment when they’re not.

Knowing the difference between what’s expected and what needs attention helps patients recover with confidence.

Septoplasty and septorhinoplasty are often confused, but they serve different purposes.

A septoplasty is designed to improve breathing by correcting a deviated septum, without changing the external appearance of the nose. A septorhinoplasty goes one step further, combining functional correction with aesthetic refinement.

Choosing the right procedure depends on understanding why you’re struggling to breathe and whether nasal shape also plays a role.

As a dual-trained ENT and Facial Plastic Surgeon, Mr Florian Bast evaluates both nasal function and facial balance to ensure patients receive the most appropriate treatment, improving airflow while maintaining natural, harmonious results.
