Philip Michael, MBBCh, FRACS, FRCS(Ed)

My rhinoplasty done by Dr Philip Michael was unbelievably easy and made me wish I had done it sooner.
The only consolation I had was with Dr Philip as I felt confident about the results he could give me with his entendive experience and also the kindness and warmth he showed me! He made recovery really easy as he didn’t have all these rules such as sleeping upright, walking for 3+ hours a day, taping your nose, drinking pineapple juice (don’t believe the rhinoplasty vlogs).
It was also important for me as a POC that he took my ethnicity into consideration when deciding on the surgical approach and gave me a result that suited my facial al featured and not something that wasn’t just following western beauty standards.

Such a smooth and great experience! All my questions were always answered and I went into my operation knowing I had made an excellent choice in my surgeon. Dr Michael Philips has improved the appearance and breathing capacity in my nose giving me back my confidence. The whole team were lovely and supportive throughout my procedure.

I had a septorhinoplasty procedure with Dr Michael to improve the function and appearance of my nose. Being my first ever surgery I was naturally very nervous, but Dr Michael went above and beyond to ease any anxieties I had about the procedure. My consultations never felt rushed and he was more than happy to answer all of my questions. The procedure and recovery was much easier than I anticipated and the hospital staff were amazing. My breathing has improved far better than I ever expected. I no longer feel out of breath and congested all of the time. I am extremely happy with the natural aesthetic outcome of my nose, I feel like this was the nose I was supposed to have all along and it truly suits my face now.

I highly recommend Dr. Michael if you are looking to have a rhinoplasty procedure!
Updated on 16 Jul 2025:
I am currently 23 months post op from my septorhinoplasty and turbinate reduction procedure with Dr Michael, and I can confidently say that my experience has been outstanding from start to finish.

From the first consultation, Dr Michael has been caring, professional, thorough and attentive. He took the time to understand my functional and aesthetic goals and provide me with a realistic outcome. I felt completely at ease knowing I was in capable hands. Dr Michael has always made him self available for a follow up and support during my recovery and answered any questions or concerns I had.

Nearly 2 years later, the swelling has subsided, and I am extremely happy with the aesthetic and functional outcome of my nose. Before surgery, I was unable to breathe properly out of one side, but now I can breathe perfectly.

I highly recommend Dr Michael for anyone considering this procedure.

Dr Michael was incredibly thorough and explained the risks and expected outcomes in a lot of detail. As an anxious person he made the whole process a lot more bearable. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to have this procedure.

I am now at 1 year since the procedure and most of the swelling has gone down. My nose had suffered a bad break and as a result had become misshaped around the bridge. Additionally there was a degree of septum deviation and I was having breathing difficulties as one side would collapse in when inhaling.

The result from Dr Michael is exactly how I wanted it to be - simply how my nose was supposed to be, functionally and in appearance. It has not created a stark noticeable change but looks great all round and well matched to my face.

I have to say that from the initial time I met Dr.Michael I felt so comfortable and I knew immediately that I will have him undertake the procedure. He has been so helpful from the outset, explained everything in detail and was always very responsive and accommodating.
He truly is amazing in this line of work as he is so passionate to help others improve their functionality or appearance.

My experience with Dr. Michael has been fantastic. Dr. Michael has a wonderful bedside manner, is incredibly thorough, kind and extremely approachable. He allows significant time to ask questions and understand the procedure/s in detail. Never once did he rush an appointment and organised 3 long appointments prior to my Rhinoplasty to ensure I was comfortable and happy with the surgery. His compassion and care for his patients is truly outstanding. Dr. Michael uses photography to show patients the changes aimed for in Surgery, which is a fantastic visual for patients. On the day of surgery, Dr. Michael had a wonderful surgical team including a fantastic Anaesthetist who was calming and caring. He also has a lovely administration team who are very helpful with any questions/queries regarding payments/appointments etc. Dr. Michael was incredibly thoughtful post surgery, visiting in recovery and at the bedside, he also followed up at home with a phone call and has made multiple post op appointments to ensure I am recovering well. So far, my recovery has been great - Overall I have had minimal pain, just bruising and swelling which I was expecting. Dr. Michael provides you with a range of recovery skin care, creams and nasal flushes to help with the healing. I would recommend Dr. Michael time and time again to anyone. He has made such a difference already to how I feel in regards to my breathing. Dr. Michael always ensured he would try his best to help me breathe better and I can truly say he has achieved this and I am just over 1 week post my Open Septorhinoplasty and Bilateral Turbinoplasty.

I have every confidence in Mr. Michael. He is an absolute professional; thorough explanations, a warm personality, and expert knowledge.

My initial consultation was a real pleasure. Mr. Michael was very careful to make thorough notes about my concerns and quick to offer some possible outcomes. I had every confidence with the notion of proceeding with surgery and all aspects were well explained.

My surgery was performed in late December 2020 and already (less than 6 months later), I am so happy with my breathing and also the appearance of the nose. The area where rib was harvested has healed beautifully also.

Dr Michael was fantastic for beginning to end.

From pre-surgery all the way through he was very honest and caring and made sure I understood everything that he and his team were doing for me.

This is my second operation with Dr Michael and both times he was nothing short of exceptional.

My experience with Dr. Michael was nothing but the best! I was in the best hands, and my results are better than anything I could have dreamed of. Coming into this, I was nothing but anxious and nervous. It has always been something I have felt I needed. 

After several consultations, everything started to become so real and before I knew it the surgery was complete.. and it was the road to recovery. After watching hundreds of youtube vlogs of individuals going through the rhinoplasty process, I thought it was going to be one scary experience. Instead, I was in no pain (just slight discomfort), and after 6-7 days I was back to my regular self. Getting my cast off will have to go down as the best day ever! The pure joy and excitement I felt was incredible. I felt an instant sense of confidence and self-love that I never thought I would be able to find. 

6 weeks later, I am over the moon. Not only has the appearance changed, but my nose internally has never been better, and my life has changed in such a positive way. I am so excited to see what the next 6-12 months has in store!
