- Mr Bast conducted revision surgery for me following a poor septoplasty procedure undertaken nearly 10 years ago. Mr Bast's approach was pragmatic and respectful, focussing on fixing the structural issues whilst taking a more conservative approach to the aesthetic elements. I really appreciated his transparency and balance when discussing the options available to me, and the time given to making a decision I felt comfortable with. I am incredibly pleased with the results so far.
- Booking a septorhinoplasty had been a huge decision, however I met Mr Bast for the first time, I knew straight away that I wanted him to do my surgery. He was incredibly knowledgeable, answered all of my questions and it was clear from my research of him that he was a surgeon to be trusted. I’m incredibly happy with the outcome of my procedure and cannot thank him enough for his expertise, kindness and support from initial visit right through to the aftercare I’ve experienced.

- I could not recommend Mr Bast more, he is not only extremely attentive, caring and personable but also an exceptional surgeon! Both functional and aesthetic concerns were addressed exactly as I'd hoped. The results are incredible and recovery was extremely easy with his support.
- I underwent surgery with Mr Florian Bast for a deviated septum and removal of left turbinate. From my initial consultation through to surgery and aftercare, Mr Bast was exceptionally professional, thorough and reassuring. The procedure went smoothly, recovery was well-managed.
- I had septoplasty performed by Dr. Bast and I'm very happy with the results. The procedure was smooth, I had no bruises, and healing has gone perfectly. Most importantly, I felt genuinely cared for throughout the entire process. Truly grateful for the care and professionalism.
- I underwent a septorhinoplasty at the end of April 2025 to correct a deviated septum sustained after a fall. From the outset, the process was seamless. Julia, Mr. Bast’s secretary, was extremely helpful and arranged an appointment for me within just a few weeks. At my consultati
