His work has lead to empty nose syndrome - constant pain 24/7

ORIGINAL POST

Honest Review of Florian Bast – UK / Germany / Europe

I wanted to write this to make others aware of the dangers of having any type of surgery with Florian Bast. This person has destroyed my nose – both mechanically and from a visual perspective. This has caused immense psychological damage. His work has lead to empty nose syndrome – acute constant pain 24/7, nose pouring with mucus uncontrollably and the feeling that your nose is constantly blocked. Each morning I have huge amounts of blood discharge from the nose. Bast doesn’t want to know anything about this after numerous complaints. The visual damage to the bridge of the nose and the destruction of the skin is inexcusable. I have lost all sensation in the nose. My taste sensations have also been affected. To cap things off my nose looks completely unnatural – completely squint and uneven.

I came to this individual for the most minor of requests and after many, many assurances of what he would do – it would appear that the entire nose was cut up and remodelled – in accordance to what he thought best and disregarding everything I agreed to and led me to the decision to proceed.

I work in a very professional, highly regulated career so ignorance or stupidity is something I would like to think is not something I suffer easily. This has been the worst experience of my life. Unable to sleep, focus, complete auto immune shutdown as a direct result of the work undertaken on my nose.

From start to finish this has been an utter disaster and I wish I had never come across this man who essentially tricked me into proceeding with the operation so he could get paid. Lie after lie. Layer of deception after another.

This has destroyed my life. I had been successfully beating Cancer prior to seeing him and was made to feel that this operation would improve everything. The daily struggle and situation I find myself in because of this man is one of total despair and surpasses anything that I have experienced previously. This has been the most horrendous experience of my life thus far and is something which by all accounts is something that I am going to have to manage / live with until I die.

I would like others who have also had a similar experience with FLORIAN BAST to come forward to allow others to make an informed decision. This has been a tortuous experience and something which I would not want anyone else to go through. Please do not simply take what this surgeon has to say in order for you to make the decision to proceed. The purpose of this review is to highlight the these dangers. Utterly appalling and unacceptable.

So sorry for your experience but thank you for your honesty!
Hi i got a septoplasty operation last month in Istanbul and I am afraid that I also got ENS. I have the symptoms.

How are you doing now? Did you get any treatment? I dont know what to do. I am so afraid of ENS.
Sadly my son’s septoplasty with him has left him with a nasty perforated septum. He’s only 20. We are devastated.
Im very sorry to hear. I am also an unhappy patient of Dr. Bast. Unfortunately I was advised against surgery with him by someone on reddit, I didnt listen and am now having tremendous issues (functional and aesthetic). Please listen when I say he is not a good choice.
