Rhinoplasty in Atlanta (Nose Reshaping Surgery)
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as nose surgery or a “nose job,” is a highly specialized facial plastic surgery procedure designed to enhance the shape, proportion, and function of the nose. At Robinson Facial Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, rhinoplasty is performed with a focus on natural-looking results that preserve facial harmony while refining nasal contours for improved balance and symmetry.
Because the nose is the central feature of the face, even subtle changes can significantly enhance
What Can Rhinoplasty Improve?
Rhinoplasty surgery can address both cosmetic and functional concerns, including:
- Nasal humps or dorsal irregularities
- Overly large or wide nasal appearance
- Drooping or under-projected nasal tip
- Crooked or asymmetrical nose
- Wide or flared nostrils
- Nasal obstruction or breathing difficulties
- Changes caused by injury, trauma, or previous surgery
Every rhinoplasty is fully customized based on nasal structure, skin thickness, facial proportions, and patient goals.
Personalized Nose Surgery with Natural Results
No two noses are alike, which is why rhinoplasty at Robinson Facial Plastic Surgery is never a one-size-fits-all procedure. Dr. Robinson carefully evaluates the underlying nasal framework—including bone, cartilage, and soft tissue—to design a surgical plan that enhances facial balance while maintaining each patient’s unique identity.
The goal of rhinoplasty is not to create a “perfect nose,” but to create a nose that fits your face naturally and enhances your overall appearance without drawing unwanted attention.
Patients often seek rhinoplasty in Atlanta to achieve a more refined profile, improved symmetry, and better harmony between the nose and other facial features.
Types of Rhinoplasty Procedures
Depending on your needs, Dr. Robinson may recommend one or more of the following approaches:
Open Rhinoplasty
Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision across the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), allowing enhanced visibility and precision when reshaping the nasal structure. This approach is often used for more complex or structural refinements.
Closed Rhinoplasty
Closed rhinoplasty is performed through incisions hidden entirely inside the nose, resulting in no external visible scar. This approach is often used for patients requiring more subtle adjustments.
Revision Rhinoplasty (Secondary Nose Surgery)
Revision rhinoplasty is performed to correct or improve the results of a previous nose surgery. Because scar tissue and altered anatomy are involved, this procedure requires advanced surgical expertise and precision.
Functional Rhinoplasty / Septoplasty
For patients experiencing breathing issues, rhinoplasty can be combined with septoplasty to correct a deviated septum and improve nasal airflow while maintaining or enhancing cosmetic appearance.
Ethnic Rhinoplasty
Ethnic rhinoplasty is a highly individualized approach that enhances nasal aesthetics while preserving the patient’s natural ethnic identity. Dr. Robinson carefully balances refinement with preservation of defining features to achieve results that are both natural and culturally respectful.
Rhinoplasty Recovery and Results
Rhinoplasty is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. While recovery varies by patient, most individuals experience gradual improvement in swelling and refinement of nasal definition over several weeks to months.
As healing progresses, patients typically notice:
- Improved nasal symmetry and balance
- A more refined and proportional profile
- Enhanced facial harmony
- Increased confidence in appearance
Final results continue to refine as subtle swelling resolves over time, revealing the full outcome of the procedure

RHINOPLASTY FAQ's
The decision to undergo rhinoplasty is a major one and can vastly improve the self-confidence of a person who has always been self-conscious about his or her nose. Therefore, it is understandable that patients have many questions about the procedure and are curious to know how they will look after having had the surgery. Dr. Burke Robinson can help provide information. He has performed the procedure for patients in Atlanta & nationwide and has mastered the art of nose surgery. His consistent and predictable results and expert surgical technique, as well as his status as one of the very few double board-certified surgeons in the area, have made him one of Atlanta’s top nose surgery doctors.
At what age is rhinoplasty (nose surgery) usually performed?
Nose surgery can be performed on an adult of any age, but it is most commonly performed on patients ages 18 to 30. By this time, many patients will have experienced schoolyard teasing because of their noses, but they will also have the perspective and maturity necessary to make decisions for themselves about whether to have rhinoplasty surgery. In select cases, younger teens may be operated on, but they must be past the adolescent growth spurt, possess the maturity to make such a decision, and be responsible enough to follow through with all pre- and postoperative instructions that Dr. Robinson provides.
If I were to have surgery, would I have an open or closed rhinoplasty?
Some minor aesthetic issues can be corrected with closed rhinoplasty surgery, but many more complex nose surgeries necessitate open rhinoplasty. The choice depends on the doctor – some surgeons favor the closed approach, as it results in less scarring, while others prefer the access to the open nose surgery technique. Dr. Robinson is experienced in both methods and prefers to make this decision on a patient-by-patient basis. A customized approach allows Dr. Robinson to formulate an individualized surgical plan based on the particular patient’s needs. To learn whether the open or closed approach will best suit your surgical goals, schedule a consultation with Dr. Burke Robinson.
Why is chin augmentation sometimes recommended in combination with nose surgery?
Angles of both the nose and chin work together to create facial balance. A weak chin may make a large nose appear larger simply because of facial proportions. By adding a small implant to the chin in a straightforward surgical procedure, a surgeon can greatly diminish the prominence of the nose. Viewing before-and-after photos of the procedure illustrates the surprisingly dramatic improvement that can be achieved by subtly enlarging the chin. If a chin implant would be beneficial, Dr. Robinson will inform you during your nose surgery consultation.
What can I anticipate during recovery?
For a week after the surgery, the patient must wear a splint to protect the nose and offer structural support during the healing process. Facial swelling may occur, as well as bruising and discomfort in the throat; pain medication can alleviate this discomfort, which should not last more than a few days after surgery. After a week, the patient visits Dr. Robinson again to have the dressings removed and are usually able to return to their normal routines with a few exceptions. Patients are advised not to wear glasses or participate in contact sports for six weeks post-surgery.
What should I consider when choosing a rhinoplasty surgeon?
People should be careful when choosing a doctor to perform nose surgery, advises Dr. Robinson. “Rhinoplasty is an evolved technique, referred to as the most difficult plastic surgery to do.” This difficulty arises because of the complex aesthetic issues involved – a good result for one patient may look unnatural or unappealing on another – as well as the importance of preserving the functionality of the nose. If you are interested in rhinoplasty surgery, seek a qualified and experienced doctor, preferably one with over 10 years of experience with rhinoplasty. Be careful, though: putting too much weight on years of experience might also be deceiving. If a surgeon performs only facial plastic surgery, he or she may actually have more experience with rhinoplasty than a plastic surgeon with more years in practice.
Board-certified by both the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat), Dr. Robinson is extensively qualified in both of these areas. He also has more than 25 years of experience in performing facial plastic surgery solely. In this time, Dr. Robinson has performed hundreds of nose surgeries, far more than the average plastic surgeon who performs facial plastic surgery in addition to breast and body procedures. Rhinoplasty is often considered to be the most difficult plastic surgery procedure to perform, which is why it is important to seek the finest care before entrusting your nose to a surgeon.
