Where expertise and advanced technology meets aesthetic artistry. Dr. Robb uses the latest technology, with no hammers or chisels, we deliver gentle, natural-looking results with quicker recovery.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about rhinoplasty. It's important to be careful when researching the procedure, as there is a lot of misinformation out there. This page is designed to guide you through all the essential information you need. The details are crucial for ensuring the success of this operation. Dr. Robb employs ultrasonic rhinoplasty techniques to enhance both the appearance and function of the nose without the need for breaking bones.
If you’re interested in discussing changing the shape of your nose or increasing your ability to breathe, we invite you to schedule a consultation with us. At a glance, ideal rhinoplasty candidates:
The nasal bones should be fully grown—about age 15 for girls and a bit older for boys. These procedures are highly customized and are not 'one-size-fits-all,' so you will learn how age affects candidacy during the consultation process.
Dr. Robb Jr. performs all rhinoplasties in Atlanta in our exclusive, private, state-of-the-art North Point Surgery Center. This beautiful, accredited, and certified surgery center is the crown jewel attached to our office. Your medications are administered by one of our three board-certified Anesthesiologists, featuring only “top-shelf anesthesia” techniques. These techniques are incredibly safe, yield a quick recovery without the hangover, and have nausea rates of .01%.
Your procedure begins with a check-in and meeting with Dr. Robb in the pre-op area so he can answer any last-minute questions you may have. Dr. Robb will make some markings on your nose, and we will review our plan again to ensure that it is thorough, thoughtful, and complete.
Upon waking up, a nasal dressing will be in place to protect the results and prevent complications. Dr. Robb does not use packing in the nose; a splint is usually specially customized and placed outside the nose for one week.
With modern advancements in cosmetic technology, ultrasonic rhinoplasty offers a gentler, more precise approach to nose reshaping. Today, reshaping the nose no longer requires breaking and reconstructing, which was often associated with increased pain and longer recovery times. At Robb Facial Plastics, you receive only the best care and expertise from Dr. Robb, ensuring optimal results.
One method we use to create natural-looking results is called ethnic rhinoplasty. Ethnic rhinoplasty is a specialized type of nasal surgery performed to preserve the unique nasal features of patients from various ethnic backgrounds. For example, African American rhinoplasty can:
Atlanta and Alpharetta facial plastic surgeon Dr. Philip K. Robb Jr. also specializes in nose reconstruction after skin cancer resection. These procedures require a complete understanding of nasal anatomy, function, and appearance. Reconstructing the nose after significant cancer surgery requires extensive knowledge and comfort with primary and revision rhinoplasty.
“I came in for rhinoplasty solely for cosmetic reasons; however, you can tell Dr. Robb truly cares about his patients and their well-being. He checked the functionality of my nose and pointed out my breathing was obscured, and made a plan to address my breathing issues along with my cosmetic wants. Both he and his team are so attentive and kind. They made surgery and recovery easy, and their communication throughout everything has been excellent.
I’m only three weeks post-op, and I’m already in love with my results. He did a beautiful job, and I finally feel like my nose suits my face—plus, my breathing has improved, which is a great bonus. I feel confident about my nose and side profile for the first time in a long time. I’ve had many compliments so far, but they can’t pinpoint exactly what’s changed about me, which tells you how detailed and skilled Dr. Robb and his team are. I can’t thank them enough for all they’ve done and would highly recommend them.”

What are the different types of rhinoplasty procedures?
How long does rhinoplasty surgery take?
Will rhinoplasty surgery leave visible scars?
When will I see the final results of rhinoplasty?
There are two main types of rhinoplasty: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty involves making an incision on the columella (the strip of tissue between the nostrils), providing better access to the nasal structures. Closed rhinoplasty involves making incisions inside the nostrils, resulting in no visible external scarring.
The duration of rhinoplasty surgery typically ranges from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure and whether additional techniques, such as cartilage grafting, are required.
In closed rhinoplasty, any incisions are made inside the nostrils, resulting in no visible external scarring. In open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made on the columella, but the scar typically fades over time and is usually inconspicuous.
While some initial improvements may be visible once the swelling subsides, it can take several months for the nose to fully settle into its new shape and for the final results of rhinoplasty to become apparent.
