For this week’s “Get to Know Mr Bast”, he shares a little more about what inspires his work and what he finds most rewarding about his speciality.⁠
⁠
We asked him three questions:⁠
• What first inspired him to specialise in Rhinology and Facial Plastic Surgery?⁠
• What does he enjoy most about rhinoplasty?⁠
• And what is the most rewarding part of helping patients improve their breathing?⁠
⁠
From the early mentors who shaped his passion, to the precision and artistry of rhinoplasty, to the profound impact that improved breathing can have on a patient’s daily life, his reflections offer a glimpse into the dedication behind his work and the values that guide his practice.⁠

“Do noses keep growing?”

It’s a surprisingly common question, and the answer is not exactly.
The nasal bones stop growing in adolescence, but the soft tissues of the nose continue to change throughout adulthood. Over time, collagen loss, skin thickening, and natural weakening of the nasal support structures can make the nose appear longer, wider, or more droopy, even though it isn’t truly “growing.”

Ageing can also subtly change airflow and tip support, which is why some patients notice new breathing difficulties or changes in nasal shape later in life.

During a consultation, Mr Bast can assess whether these changes are structural, age-related, or functional, and discuss tailored options to restore both balance and breathing.

The ear, nose, and throat may seem like separate areas, but medically they form a single, interconnected system. Each is lined by the same mucous membrane, and all three structures communicate with one another.

The nose acts as the main airway filter and connects directly to the throat and sinuses. The throat (pharynx) channels air into the windpipe and also links to the digestive tract. The ears are connected to the back of the nose through the Eustachian tube, which helps equalise pressure and drain fluid.

Because of these connections, inflammation or blockage in one area, for example, congestion, allergies, or sinus disease, often affects the others, leading to issues such as muffled hearing, sore throats, pressure, or recurrent infections.

As a Consultant ENT and Facial Plastic Surgeon, Mr Bast assesses these structures as a whole, ensuring patients receive a clear diagnosis and treatment plan that addresses both symptoms and underlying causes.

A patient who recently underwent septorhinoplasty with Mr Florian Bast shared how the procedure transformed both their breathing and confidence.

After breaking their nose at a young age, they were left with a deviated septum and a dorsal hump that affected both function and appearance. During their consultations, Mr Bast took time to discuss each concern in depth, ensuring that the patient felt fully listened to, informed, and supported throughout the process.

Six months on, their breathing has markedly improved, and the aesthetic result is exactly as hoped, smooth, balanced, and natural, with no visible scarring.

They also praised the seamless experience and attentive care from Mr Bast and his PA, Julia, describing the journey as reassuring, professional, and far easier than expected.

This kind feedback reflects the team’s dedication to combining precise surgical technique with personalised, patient-centred care from start to finish.

Around 30% of the UK population experiences nasal breathing issues - a problem that can affect sleep, exercise, concentration, and overall quality of life.

During a consultation, Mr Bast carefully assesses whether breathing difficulties are caused by structural concerns (such as septal deviation, valve collapse, turbinate enlargement) or skin-related factors (including swelling, inflammation, or thickness of the soft tissues).

Both structural and skin-related issues can be addressed with the right treatment plan, whether through medical therapy, functional rhinoplasty, or targeted techniques to open and support the airway.

A clear diagnosis is the first step, and for many patients, small refinements can make a remarkable difference in day-to-day comfort and long-term breathing function.

Mr Florian Bast has recently returned from Vietnam, where he spent time teaching in partner hospitals and contributing to a medical conference as part of his role as trustee of Facing the World.

Facing the World is a global health charity that has transformed care for children with severe craniofacial differences in Vietnam for almost 20 years. Through partnerships with major hospitals and the Ministry of Health, the charity has helped grow local craniofacial teams from just five surgeons to over fifty, now supporting more than 10,000 life-changing surgeries each year.

The charity’s “Train the Trainers” model has delivered 187 international fellowships, with 200 more planned, and over £2.5 million worth of equipment donated to strengthen long-term surgical capacity.

Mr Bast was first introduced to the charity in 2013 and now welcomes Vietnamese fellows to train with him in London. During this latest mission, he worked alongside local teams to support training in advanced facial and reconstructive techniques, helping to build sustainable, high-quality care for the future.

He is deeply grateful to the teams who welcomed him and proud to contribute to such meaningful, ongoing work.

A childhood nasal trauma left this gentleman with both functional obstruction and aesthetic irregularities that had developed over time.⁠
⁠
During surgery, Mr Bast performed a comprehensive open functional septorhinoplasty to restore structure, balance, and airflow. The septum was straightened, and the nasal valve was opened and stabilised, allowing for significantly improved breathing.⁠
⁠
At the same time, careful reduction of the dorsal hump and repositioning of the nasal tip created a smoother, more symmetrical profile while maintaining a natural appearance.⁠
⁠
These images show the on-table results, demonstrating immediate improvements in both nasal function and facial harmony.⁠
⁠
Precision, planning, and balance, the hallmarks of every rhinoplasty performed by Mr Bast.⁠

Is there a tailored approach to male rhinoplasty?⁠
⁠
Male rhinoplasty requires a tailored approach, one that respects masculine facial structure and achieves balance without softening natural definition.⁠
⁠
While the principles of rhinoplasty are similar across all patients, male noses often require preservation of a stronger bridge, a less rotated nasal tip, and careful attention to overall facial proportions.⁠
⁠
Men also tend to seek surgery for functional reasons, such as breathing issues following injury or chronic obstruction caused by a deviated septum.⁠
Revision cases are not uncommon, and achieving a natural, masculine aesthetic relies on structural precision, understanding of anatomy, and experience in functional restoration.⁠
⁠
Mr Bast’s approach focuses on improving both form and function, creating results that enhance confidence while maintaining the patient’s individual character.⁠
