Deviated Septum Septoplasty Functional Nasal Surgery
From the very first appointment, Dr. Bast was extremely clear on the treatment (a complex septorhinoplastly) and willing to take as much time as needed to answer my numerous questions. On the day I had the surgery, he was very reassuring, making me feel I could not be in better hands. Also, given his experience and expertise in the operating room, the recovery process was way better than expected. I did not even had bruises under my eyes. Amazing.

Turbinate Reduction Septorhinoplasty Septoplasty
Florian is an exceptional surgeon. I'm delighted to have been under his excellent care for my recent septorhinoplastly. He clearly explained every step of the process and I felt extremely reassured in his expert knowledge and skills. Florian has a very personable and unrushed manner; I felt very confident in his professional assessment of my specific needs. He was more than accommodating in answering any of my concerns and checking in with my post-surgery too, which was particularly appreciated. My results have more than exceeded my expectations and are a testament of Florian's continued perfectionist approach.

Deviated Septum Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) Septoplasty
From my first consultation up to now, Mr Bast has been amazing. I am a very anxious person who needs a lot of reassurance and Mr Bast has always reassured me. He did not once make me feel uncomfortable to my many questions. Before my operation i had seen Mr. Bast several times until i felt confident and ready for my operation which is another reason why i knew Mr Bast was the best surgeon for me! I never felt pressured or limited to only one consultation like i have experienced elsewhere. The procedure went really well, i did not suffer any bruising which i was stunned at. I was just very swollen as he said i would be! Throughout my recovery period i had sent Mr. Bast quite a few emails and he always came back asap and again reassured me, he even got back to me on boxing day which i would of not expected! My current result is looking good and i cannot wait to see my final results once i am fully healed. Today i had my 6-8 week follow up which went really well and he again reassured with all my questions i had, I have learnt i just need to be patient! I highly recommend Mr bast, he is very skilled in this area of work and is also very honest. My face is unsymmetrical and he admitted that due to my face not being symmetrical meant he would have to balance my nose to be straight as possible but also to fit within my face. All the other surgeons i had met never spotted this important factor which i am very grateful i kept looking for the best surgeon.

Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) Deviated Septum Septoplasty
Dr Bast was really good to talk to and discuss my procedure and I felt like I could trust him during the whole process. He was happy and able to answer any questions I had, even right up until just before my operation whilst I was in the hospital. I am happy with my results too so I would definitely recommend Dr Bast.

Septoplasty
I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Bast at an initial consultation stage regarding poor air flow through one side of my nose. I was taken through options, risk and an honest recommendation was given in a friendly and genuine manner that provided me with confidence going ahead. I chose to have septoplasty surgery and the work was carried out by Dr Bast and his team at a private clinic in Harley St. Less than 2 months on, my breathing is already night and day to before. The after care support has been exceptional and I've never felt hesitant to get in touch with the clinic. I'd also like to add that Julia from Dr Bast's office is fantastic, personable and exactly what you need in terms of admin support through any hospital visits. Thank you very much once again. All the best,

Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)
Dr Bast is excellent! After two unsuccessful rhinoplasties that left me with breathing issues and a crooked dorsum, I knew I needed a third surgery. As I’m originally from the US, I flew back home to see some of the world’s top rhinoplasty specialists, but I loved Dr Bast’s approach the most - he carefully considered my history and we worked together to come up with the best solution for me. I’m now three months post-op and not only has my breathing improved, but my nose looks so much better! Dr Bast took his time with me, never made me feel rushed and always went out of his way to make sure my questions were answered. Highly recommend.
