About Professor Paul Chatrath

Professor Chatrath is an experienced ENT surgeon with particular expertise in the fields of nasal and sinus surgery (including rhinoplasty), snoring and paediatric ENT problems. On completion of his medical degree in 1995 from Cambridge University and the University of London Professor Chatrath was nominated for the prestigious London Gold Medal Viva for achieving distinctions in three subjects. He undertook core surgical training in Cambridge and the higher surgical training program in Otolaryngology in North London. He has worked as a Consultant ENT Surgeon for the NHS at Charing Cross Hospital as well as working in the private sector. He is also Professor of Rhinology/ENT Surgery at Canterbury Christ Church University, Kent.

In his career, Professor Chatrath has completed over 1000 rhinoplasty operations in addition to 1500 paediatric procedures. In addition to these operations, he completes numerous sinus operations using cutting-edge, minimally invasive techniques such as balloon sinuplasty to maximise patient outcomes. He is one of a very limited number of surgeons in the UK specialising in nasal reconstruction and nasal valve surgery. He is experienced using titanium breathe implants.

Professor Chatrath recognises the importance of communication before and after surgical procedures, actively eliciting and answering queries throughout the care cycle. His roles as an examiner at The Royal College of Surgeons, member of the Clinical Audit & Practice Advisory Group and scholarly referee for the Clinical Otolaryngology and Laryngoscope journals demonstrate his position in the evolving field of ENT surgery.

A huge thank you to Professor Paul Chatrath for truly changing my life. After years without a sense of smell or taste, both returned following my sinuplasty surgery. Being able to enjoy these everyday things again has made such a difference to my quality of life. The procedure was quick and painless in my experience, with a very short recovery period. I am incredibly grateful for Professor Chatrath’s professionalism, care and the way he treated me throughout. I would highly recommend Professor Chatrath to anyone seeking help with similar problems. For me, the surgery has been life-changing, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

I had a septoplasty performed by Dr Paul Chatrath on 21/11/2025, which completely failed. The deviation is still present and visibly caved in, just as it was before. Since the surgery, my breathing has become even worse. My right nostril, where the deviation is, is narrower and harder to breathe through. My sleep has got worse, and breathing still feels difficult in my day-to-day life. The nostril remains blocked or barely functional because the deviation makes it so narrow. The best way I can describe it is that it feels like breathing through a straw. He performed a turbinate outfracture when I had asked him in person not to. In the letter following my appointment, he wrote that he would only consider operating on the turbinate if the septoplasty alone didn’t improve my symptoms. I then agreed to the surgery by email, explicitly stating that it should be without an outfracture. We agreed that he would not perform this procedure, but he did it anyway. At my post-surgery review, when I mentioned the pain I had experienced in my left turbinate while recovering, he told me that this was from the outfracture he had performed. After the surgery, my septum remained deviated to the right. It was still too narrow to breathe through comfortably and felt functionally the same as before, with too little space between the septum and the inside of the nasal cavity for satisfactory breathing. It also looked unchanged when I looked into my nostril. You can clearly see that it is caved in on the right and that the opening is narrow deeper inside the nose. At my one-month post-surgery r...

Professor Paul Chatrath was kind, compassionate and exceptionally understanding of the symptoms I had been struggling with. He took the time to listen carefully, allowing me to fully explain my concerns and the significant impact they were having on my daily life. I never felt rushed or dismissed, and genuinely felt heard and understood. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, thorough and professional throughout my treatment. He took the time to clearly explain my condition, the available options to me and the next steps, ensuring I always felt informed. Following each appointment, I received a detailed summary letter outlining everything that had been discussed and agreed. I found this helpful and reassuring, particularly as some of the conversations could be overwhelming given the significant impact my symptoms had had on me. Having everything in writing meant I could refer back to the information afterwards with confidence. It was a massive relief to finally feel genuinely heard and understood by someone who was able to identify the problem and provide an effective solution. The outcome of my surgery was successful and has made a significant and genuinely positive difference to my day to day life. I am extremely grateful for the excellent care, expertise, professionalism and compassion Professor Chatrath showed throughout my treatment. His support made a difficult experience far more manageable, and I would highly recommend him to anyone requiring his expertise. Thank you very much, Professor Chatrath.

Our son has been mouth breathing for a while and also has delayed speech (unable to say certain sounds). We knew something wasn’t quite right. As soon as we saw Professor Paul Chatrath he was able to give us a clear explanation as to why this was and discussed with us the procedure he would need. He was able to answer all of our questions and left us feeling like we were finally getting somewhere with helping our son. Professor Paul Chatrath completed our sons procedure and on the day supported us to feel reassured and kept us informed of how the procedure went. He was also very thorough at the follow up appointment to make sure everything went as planned. Would highly recommend and thank you for everything.

We had an exceptional experience with Dr. Paul Chatrath. Our 3-year-old son had his tonsils and adenoids removed and grommets fitted, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care we received throughout the whole process. Dr. Chatrath was professional, reassuring and excellent with our little boy. Everything went smoothly, and we are so glad we made the decision to go ahead with the surgery. We would highly recommend him to any parent looking for a caring and highly skilled paediatric ENT specialist.

Understanding nose bleeds

Understanding nose bleeds

Epistaxis or nose bleeds are very common, particularly in children but also in adults. They can be caused by infections, allergic rhinitis, trauma and other medical conditions, and can be made worse by alterations in atmospheric conditions such as temperature and/or humidity changes. Treatments are available including topical nasal sprays and creams, nasal cauterisation and medications to stop bleeding.

Is nose reshaping right for you?

Is nose reshaping right for you?

Undergoing a rhinoplasty (or nose job) is a big decision for most people, as it potentially involves a change to a key part of your overall appearance and character. It is something not to go into lightly and you should do as much research on the procedure as you can. There are lots of considerations, including what you would like to achieve (eg. nasal tip, dorsum, nasal base etc), how it will be done (eg. open, closed) and to what extent you would like to change your nose. This is where the majority of the time will be spent, in order to ensure as good preoperative planning as possible. A brief psychological review is also likely, and image manipulation can also be useful in some cases. Please click on the link for more information.

Nasal obstruction

Nasal obstruction

Having a blocked nose can be very troublesome and debilitating. It affects how you feel, can make you mouth breathe and snore at night and can cause tiredness and headaches. There are many causes including colds, sinusitis and other infections, trauma, nasal polyps and other medical conditions. Thankfully there are many treatment options available, ranging from nasal sprays and drops, antiallergic therapies and surgery in some instances.

ClarifixTM Cryotherapy

ClarifixTM Cryotherapy

ClarifixTM cryotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment option for patients with a runny nose. It involves freezing the nerve endings at the back of the nose under local or general anaesthetic, with few if any side effects, and a good chance of improvement of your symptoms. It is important to be properly investigated to rule out or fully treat any allergies that you might have, and to manage any other coexistent conditions such as a deviated nasal septum. If you have been struggling with a very runny nose and have tried all other medical options available, it might be worth considering this.
