Profile
Mr Bas Ranganathan FRCS (ORL-HNS), MCh
I am a Consultant Ear, Nose and Throat Surgeon based at Manchester Royal Infirmary. I treat a wide range of ENT conditions both in adults and children. I have a specialist interest in managing nasal and sinus conditions including functional & cosmetic rhinoplasty, and nasal reconstruction following removal of skin cancer and trauma.
After completing my higher surgical training in otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat), I undertook further subspecialist training in rhinology (nose and sinuses) and facial plastic surgery at Manchester Royal Infirmary, Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital, London and Lisbon. I had the opportunity to learn the art of rhinoplasty surgery from some of the best facial plastic surgeons in the world. I believe in providing individualised care and I tailor the treatment plan according to the needs and preferences of the patients.

A Personal Approach
Let me take this opportunity to outline my personal approach to nasal cosmetic surgery and how I aim to treat patients under my care.
In my view the fundamental aim of a rhinoplasty is to give my patients a natural looking nose with normal breathing; a nose which is in balance with other facial features. Every effort is made to achieve a ‘non-operated’ look by avoiding excessive surgery which could weaken the nasal structure and cause breathing problems or create an unnatural appearance.
With experience I have become increasingly aware that a key component of a successful rhinoplasty is that my patients have realistic expectations. I will tell each patient clearly what I think I can achieve and explain the risks of surgery including the rare possibility of a poor outcome which may require a second operation.
