About Dr. Andrew Bridger 
Doctor Bridger graduated from Sydney University in 1990.
He completed his advanced training in Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery in the New South Wales programme in 97 and became a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) in the Specialty of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery.
He undertook further Fellowship training in the specialty in 1998 at the Royal Brisbane Hospital before undertaking advanced training in rhinoplasty surgery in Toronto under the guidance of Dr Kris Konrad who is a world renowned rhinoplasty surgeon in 1999.
He then undertook further subspecialty training in head and neck reconstructive surgery at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York in 1999-2000 working with Professor Mark Urken who is widely regarded as one of the best specialists in this discipline in the United States.
Dr Bridger then returned to Australia and became a visiting medical officer in the Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery at the Prince of Wales Hospital which is a major teaching hospital in Randwick in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. He has held this position since 2000.
He is a member of the:
- Australian Society of Otolaryngology
- Head and Neck Surgery
- the Australian Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery
- the Australian Rhinological Society
- a member of the Australian and New Zealand Head and Neck Cancer Society
- and is also an international member of the American Academy of Otolaryngology
He is fully certified by examination with the prestigious American Board of Otolaryngology including certification in facial plastic surgery.
Doctor Bridger is a second generation facial plastic surgeon and dedicated to excellence in the field of rhinoplasty. He appreciates both the art and science of rhinoplasty and believes that a rhinoplasty operation should provide a natural balanced appearance to the nose, should compliment a patients other facial features and should result in a nose that does not look as though it has had any surgery performed.
The operation should optimise the function of the nose and both the aesthetic and functional benefits of the surgery should last throughout the patient's life and not deteriorate with time. Doctor Bridger is widely respected and continues to train ENT registrars in this area. Because of his training in ENT he is equipped to manage any sinus related or other issues which may also be affecting your nose.
Doctor Bridger maintains consulting rooms in both the eastern (Randwick) and southern (Miranda and Menai) suburbs of Sydney.
