Nose Surgery Procedures
Dr Jason Roth (MED0001185485) is a Specialist Otolaryngologist and Head and Neck Surgeon with a focused practice in nose and sinus surgery. He completed an American Rhinologic Society fellowship in Advanced Rhinology and Facial Plastic Surgery at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago — one of the most prestigious rhinology training programmes in the world — and has published peer-reviewed research in both rhinology and functional rhinoplasty.
Nose and sinus problems are among the most common reasons people see an ENT specialist. Difficulty breathing through the nose, recurrent sinus infections, nasal allergies, persistent nosebleeds, and the after-effects of a broken nose can all significantly affect quality of life. Many patients put up with these problems for years before seeking treatment — often not realising that effective surgical and non-surgical options are available.
Dr Roth sees both paediatric and adult patients with general ENT conditions, and operates at North Shore Private, Castlecrag Private, Pittwater Day Surgery, and Wyvern Private Hospitals in Sydney.
Nose & Sinus Conditions and Procedures
Select a condition or procedure below to learn more.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty addresses the shape, size, and function of the nose. It may be performed for purely functional reasons (to improve nasal breathing), cosmetic reasons, or both. Dr Roth is one of Sydney’s highest-volume rhinoplasty surgeons and has particular expertise in preservation rhinoplasty techniques.

Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty addresses problems remaining after, or caused by, a previous rhinoplasty. It is among the most technically demanding procedures in facial surgery, requiring specialised expertise in cartilage grafting and soft tissue management.

Septoplasty
The nasal septum is the wall dividing the nose into two passages. A deviated septum — whether from birth or injury — is one of the most common causes of a persistently blocked nose. Septoplasty straightens the septum to restore nasal airflow, and is often combined with other procedures.

Sinus Surgery
Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is used to treat chronic sinusitis and other sinus conditions that have not responded to medication. Using a small camera and fine instruments, the sinus openings are widened to restore drainage and ventilation.

Sinus Problems
Chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, recurrent acute sinusitis, and facial pressure or pain are common presentations. Understanding the cause of sinus symptoms — and distinguishing sinusitis from allergy, migraine, and other conditions — is the first step in finding effective treatment.

Blocked Nose
Nasal obstruction can be caused by a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, nasal polyps, allergy, or a combination of these. A blocked nose affects sleep, exercise, and quality of life. Identifying the underlying cause is essential before determining the most appropriate treatment.

Broken Nose
A fractured nose is one of the most common facial injuries. Depending on the timing and nature of the fracture, treatment may involve manipulation under anaesthesia to realign the bones, septoplasty to address internal deviation, or rhinoplasty to correct residual deformity.

Nasal Allergy (Hayfever)
Allergic rhinitis — hayfever — causes nasal congestion, sneezing, a runny nose, and itchy eyes. It is extremely common and frequently undertreated. Management ranges from antihistamines and nasal sprays to allergy testing and immunotherapy, depending on severity and triggers.

Nosebleeds (Epistaxis)
Recurrent or severe nosebleeds can be distressing and, in some cases, dangerous. Most originate from blood vessels in the front of the nose and can be treated with cauterisation. Posterior bleeds are less common but more serious and may require more involved treatment.

Enlarged Nasal Turbinates
The turbinates are bony structures lining the inside of the nose that warm, humidify, and filter the air. When persistently enlarged — due to allergy, chronic inflammation, or anatomical factors — they can cause significant nasal blockage. Turbinate reduction surgery can provide long-lasting relief.

Why See a Specialist Otolaryngologist for Nose & Sinus Problems?
Many nose and sinus conditions are initially managed by a GP, and appropriately so. However, when symptoms are persistent, recurrent, or significantly affecting quality of life — particularly sleep, exercise tolerance, or daily functioning — specialist assessment is warranted.
As a Specialist Otolaryngologist, Dr Roth is trained specifically in the diagnosis and surgical management of conditions affecting the ear, nose, throat, head, and neck. He has the advantage of subspecialty fellowship training in rhinology — the branch of ENT focused specifically on the nose and sinuses — which means he brings both surgical expertise and a thorough understanding of the medical management of these conditions.
