Many people assume that rhinoplasty is simply about removing cartilage to make the nose smaller.

In reality, rhinoplasty procedures commonly involve adding cartilage to strengthen and support the nose.

Cartilage grafts can be used to rebuild structural support, improve breathing, refine the shape of the nose, and help maintain long-term stability. They are particularly valuable in Revision Rhinoplasty, Reconstructive Rhinoplasty, and cases where previous surgery, trauma, or disease has weakened the nasal framework.

Depending on the individual case, cartilage may be taken from the septum, ear, or rib and carefully shaped to provide the support needed.

A successful rhinoplasty isn't always about making the nose smaller. Often, it's about creating a nose that is stronger, more stable, and functions better.

As both an ENT and Facial Plastic Surgeon, Mr Florian Bast carefully considers both the appearance and function of the nose when planning surgery.

One of the most common misconceptions about rhinoplasty is that appearance and breathing are always linked.

In reality, a nose can look perfectly straight from the outside while significant internal obstruction affects airflow.

As a specialist in both Rhinology and Rhinoplasty, Mr Florian Bast carefully assesses the internal and external structures of the nose to ensure treatment plans address both appearance and function.

Many nasal symptoms, including congestion, blockage, and difficulty breathing, are often assumed to be caused by allergies.

While allergies are common, not all nasal problems are inflammatory. In some cases, symptoms may be due to structural issues such as a deviated septum or narrowing of the nasal airway.

Understanding the difference is essential, as treatment approaches vary significantly depending on the cause.

As a Consultant ENT and Facial Plastic Surgeon, Mr Florian Bast assesses both nasal function and structure to ensure patients receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

A patient recently shared their experience of long-term care with Mr Florian Bast following a complex nasal injury.

Over several years, they have undergone treatment to address the effects of previous trauma, describing each stage as a step forward in both healing and improvement. They highlighted the reassurance, understanding, and continuity of care provided throughout their journey — particularly during what they described as a challenging period.
Ongoing monitoring and a supportive, patient-centred approach have been an important part of their experience, helping them feel listened to and cared for at every stage.

Feedback like this reflects Mr Bast’s commitment to long-term patient care, careful follow-up, and a compassionate approach, particularly in complex and sensitive cases.

This patient had previously undergone multiple surgeries to manage eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis, a rare chronic inflammatory condition that can cause progressive scarring and destruction within the nasal cavity. Over time, this led to collapse of the delicate cartilaginous framework of the nose, affecting both structure and breathing function.

Using rib cartilage grafts, Mr Florian Bast performed a full nasal reconstruction to rebuild and reinforce the nasal framework. This restored support to the nose, corrected the saddle deformity, improved the contour of the nasal bridge, refined the profile, and significantly improved nasal airflow.

Complex reconstructive cases such as this require careful surgical planning, structural reconstruction, and long-term functional support, with the goal of restoring both stability and quality of life.

Rhinoplasty results don’t just depend on how the nose looks immediately after surgery, long-term structure and stability are key.⁠
⁠
In some cases, changes can develop over time due to factors such as reduced structural support, cartilage removal, or the way tissues heal and remodel. These changes may affect both the appearance of the nose and how well it functions.⁠
⁠
This is why modern rhinoplasty focuses on preserving and reinforcing the nasal framework, rather than simply reducing or reshaping it.⁠

Nasal allergies are a common cause of congestion, sneezing, and breathing difficulty, but managing them effectively often requires more than occasional treatment.

Simple measures such as saline rinses, consistent use of nasal sprays, and reducing exposure to allergens can make a significant difference in controlling symptoms.

However, if symptoms persist or do not respond to treatment, it may indicate that there is an additional structural cause affecting airflow, such as a deviated septum or narrowing of the nasal airway.

As a Consultant ENT and Facial Plastic Surgeon, Mr Florian Bast assesses both the inflammatory and structural aspects of nasal symptoms, helping patients find the most appropriate and effective treatment.

The nasal valve may be small, but it plays a critical role in how you breathe.⁠
⁠
As the narrowest part of the nasal airway, even subtle changes in this area can significantly affect airflow. Patients often describe a feeling of blockage or restricted breathing, particularly when inhaling.⁠
⁠
Because nasal valve issues are not always visible externally, they can sometimes be overlooked without a detailed assessment.⁠
⁠
As a Consultant ENT and Facial Plastic Surgeon, Mr Florian Bast routinely evaluates the nasal valve when assessing breathing concerns, helping identify whether symptoms are due to structural issues within the airway.⁠
