Dr Robotti and his team are incredible! After years of being rejected for further surgeries, following 3 failed rhinoplasty procedures, I found Dr Robotti and am now almost a year since surgery. The results exceeded my expectations and I can't thank Dr Robotti enough. I was able to go sunglass shopping today and properly look in the mirror and smile at how my nose looked. I never thought I would see that day. I travelled and stayed in Italy alone from the UK and was really anxious but I needn’t have been because the standard of care was so high. Thank you
About a year and a half ago, looking for a solution to two disastrous rhinoplasties, done in 2008 and 2015 respectively, I met Dr. Robotti. Up until that meeting, all the consultations I had done for a third rhinoplasty had resulted in the doctor's hesitation or warnings about relapses or worsening that I would have encountered over time despite a new operation. Unlike these opinions, Dr. Robotti was able to immediately evaluate my situation and explain to me what he could do and how he would solve my many problems. After the experience of multiple visits made over the years, at the first meeting, held in the Villa Sant' Apollonia clinic in Bergamo where I was then operated, I found myself in a very serious and professional reality. At that moment, after almost 17 years of dissatisfaction and frustration, I felt I had finally found the solution to my problems. Today, one year after the surgery, I can say that I am fully satisfied with the result and I am infinitely grateful to Dr. Robotti for giving me back my smile. If I had met the Doctor years ago I am sure that I would have saved myself years of problems and worries. Thanks again to the doctor and all his team. I advise anyone who approaches a rhinoplasty procedure not to look for economically advantageous or apparently "easy" solutions, if you have the opportunity it is absolutely worth meeting Dr. Robotti.
I am now one year post-revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Enrico Robotti, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the life-changing experience he has given me. In 2017, I underwent a primary rhinoplasty in Turkey which turned into a devastating nightmare. My nose was severely mutilated—over-shortened tip, collapsed side bones, removed radix and bridge, an open roof deformity, and asymmetrical nasal bones—leaving it crooked and unnatural. The procedure, meant to fix a deviated septum and remove a nasal polyp, instead caused severe breathing issues, landing me in the ER. When the cast came off, I was unrecognizable, with a wide, concave, and triangular nose that drew unwanted stares. I also suffered skin issues due to cast complications. On top of this physical devastation, the original surgeon ignored me, offering no support or solutions. I fell into deep despair and depression struggling with PTSD and suicidal thoughts. Determined to find help, I spent years researching and speaking with hundreds of patients who had undergone revision surgeries with top specialists. After extensive research, I made the life-changing decision to entrust Dr. Robotti with my case. I first met Dr. Robotti in Bergamo in 2023, and from the very first consultation, I knew I had made the right choice. His vast knowledge, kind demeanor, and genuine interest in helping me were unparalleled. He was honest about the possibilities and limitations of my case. He took the time to explain everything in detail and with clarity, ensuring that I fully understood the process, risks and have realistic expectations of the result. He was exceptionally professional and kind, and treated me with remarkable empathy. In 2024, the day before my surgery, I had another thorough consultation with him, during which he patiently answered all my questions, once again went through surgical plan and gave me all the information I need for my surgery. The next morning it was my surgery. Dr. Robotti and his team visited me in my room to review the surgical plan once again. His attention to detail and deep understanding of my wishes put my heart at ease. In this brief meeting he once again demonstrated me that he clearly understands my wishes. His team—Violet, nurse Sara, Dr. Giuseppe, anesthesiologist Dr. Berzai, and Francesco—were incredibly kind, professional, and supportive. Their compassionate care made all the difference. Dr. Robotti performed nothing short of a miracle. I never thought it was possible for anyone to rebuild a nose as severely damaged as mine, but he did. He restored harmony to my face, corrected all the deformities and issues. The results are astonishing—I now have a beautiful, natural-looking nose that closely resembles my original one, something I never thought I would see again. Choosing Dr. Robotti was the best decision of my life. He didn’t just restore my nose—he restored my confidence and happiness. His skill, compassion, and the way he treated me healed both my appearance and my soul. A true legend and the king of revision rhinoplasty, the best of the best in every meaning, I will forever be grateful for his expertise, kindness and dedication. Grazie mille, caro dottore! God bless you and grant you long, healthy and happy life.
I had surgery with Dr. Robotti almost five months ago for a complex revision rhinoseptoplasty. Despite my low expectations for a satisfactory aesthetic-functional result, Dr. Robotti far exceeded them. My first surgery was 12 years ago at the hospital in my city in Italy. The issues were related to a deviated septum, a dorsal hump, and turbinate hypertrophy, which caused breathing difficulties. The outcome was disastrous: two completely different profiles, not corrected deviation, and a septum perforation. It took me years to find the courage to undergo another surgery after that traumatic experience and to trust a surgeon again. I feared trusting another incompetent doctor and ending up in an even worse situation than before. Fortunately, that didn’t happen. Once I gathered the courage, I spent two years researching the best Italian surgeons specialized in secondary rhinoplasty and reconstructive procedures. That’s when I came across Dr. Robotti’s name and booked an appointment. During the first visit, which was detailed and thorough, the doctor explained the aesthetic issues and functional damage of my nose, emphasizing the complexity of the procedure, the limitations, and the risks involved. I left that first visit feeling very discouraged and took some time to reflect on whether the surgery was truly worth it. The decision wasn’t easy; this had to be my final surgery, and I didn’t care about the cost – I just wanted to resolve the issues that had been affecting me. In the end, I found the courage, and with determination, I decided to go ahead with Dr. Robotti. It was hands down the best decision I could have made. The surgery lasted about five hours, and it went even better than expected, even for the doctor: the septum was corrected and straightened, the tip was reshaped to fix its aquiline form, and the two profiles are much more symmetrical than before (due to the natural asymmetry of my bone structure, this was the best possible outcome). Most importantly, the fistula was closed with grafts taken from the septum and rib cartilage. Since my skin is very thin, the doctor used a “camouflage” technique with rib grafts to make the dorsum even smoother and free of visible defects. The aesthetic result is surprising, almost resembling a primary rhinoplasty, and my breathing has significantly improved. I had expected a complicated, physically and mentally draining recovery, but it turned out to be much easier than anticipated! The first two days were difficult due to the anesthesia, and the first five days were the most physically challenging. However, after the first week, everything got much better. I followed the post-operative instructions from the doctor and his team exactly. From the start, my nose looked harmonious, with minimal swelling and no pain. The taping has helped me achieve a well-defined shape while reducing the swelling. Today, five months later, I can confidently say my nose gets more beautiful every day. The scars are nearly invisible, to the point where my nose doesn’t even look like a secondary rhinoplasty anymore. Choosing Dr. Robotti and his impeccable team was the best decision I’ve ever made. I am incredibly proud of it. I want to thank him and his wonderful team: Dr. Leone, Dr. Barzoi, Dr. Cottone, the nurses, the collaborators, and Francesca. I had almost lost hope, thinking my situation could never be resolved, but thanks to Dr. Robotti, I’ve regained my trust in doctors, and more importantly, in myself.
I discovered Professor Robotti by chance, but it turned out to be one of the most important discoveries of my life. After three previous surgeries—two as a child to correct a congenital malformation and one in Paris for aesthetic purposes—I found myself with serious functional issues. For two years, I suffered from recurrent sinus infections, severe dizziness, and intense headaches. Despite undergoing numerous medical tests and consultations, doctors couldn’t pinpoint the cause. But for me, it was obvious: my last surgery had not only failed but had worsened my condition. In 2023, a doctor in Paris recommended a surgeon in Italy, telling me: "If he can’t help you, I don’t think anyone in Europe can." That’s how I found out about Professor Robotti. Being originally from Bulgaria but having lived and studied in Italy, I immediately looked him up and booked an appointment. I had to wait almost a year for my first consultation. From the very first meeting, his team welcomed me with great professionalism and warmth, explaining in detail the entire process, the risks, and the realistic expectations of the surgery. Professor Robotti convinced me with his clarity, precision, and above all, his deep sense of humanity—something that I believe is rare in this field. He was honest from the beginning, telling me that I shouldn’t expect miracles, but that he would do his best to give me not only a more aesthetically pleasing nose but also one that functioned properly. I had no doubts, and I underwent surgery in March 2024. The operation lasted six hours and went perfectly, thanks to an exceptional medical team. It was a challenging journey, but I want to emphasize that plastic surgery is not a game. It is not about achieving absolute perfection—perfection, if it exists, is within us, not in Instagram filters. Anyone who expects to wake up with a brand-new, flawless nose without any obstacles is mistaken. The process is 100% manageable, but it is not magic. For me, the most important part of this journey was the personal growth that came with it. A different nose can change your life, especially when you are in the right hands—and Professor Robotti is undoubtedly the right person. My case was particularly complex, and nine months after my primary surgery, I needed a minor follow-up touch-up under local anesthesia. Now, almost a year after my main surgery, I can confidently say that miracles do exist—especially when we put our trust in extraordinary professionals like Professor Robotti. Today, I breathe perfectly, better than ever before. My nose looks so natural that no one who doesn’t know me would ever suspect I had undergone surgery. And that, in my opinion, is the hardest thing to achieve in modern aesthetic surgery: true elegance and an innate sense of beauty, both of which Professor Robotti masters. I still have a small scar from my childhood surgeries, which I am treating with laser therapy. It may never fully disappear, but I accept it as a part of myself and my journey. Thanks you from the bottom of my heart to Professor Robotti and his amazing team! Savina Nikolova
I underwent primary rhinoseptoplasty in Dec. 2021 with a highly-esteemed, rhinoplasty specialist (plastic surgeon) in my homecountry (Bucharest, Romania) - the technique used was let-down preservation under closed approach. The aim for my first surgery was to obtain a natural, more refined result, that would keep my character (lenght, height) and also improve function by septoplasty and turbinoplasty. Unfortunately, the surgery ended up with worsened function and aesthetic result that did not meet my expectations (artificial, overshortened). I consulted with two european renowed surgeons (one specialized more in ear graft and one specialized more in rib graft). After lots of research and consulting with Dr Robotti (virtual and in-person + CT-scan) I decided to undergo revision rhinoseptoplasty with rib grafting, based on: his experience with rib grafting, high skills, extensive knowledge, proper case assesment and similar case management. My surgery was scheduled on May 8th 2024. We had virtual consultation, in person consultation (one year before) and two more discussions preliminary to the surgery day (right before the surgery recap and one day before). Consultation-wise, I found that Prof. Robotti took his time to listen to my needs both on virtual and in-person consult, and demonstrated what he could achieve, based on previous similar cases experience and my CT scan. Taking time to communicate (effectively!) and setting realistic expectations is a key component of any case management. Surgery-wise, I had all the pre, intra and post-operative care I needed. I made sure to respect all the indications regarding taping, medication and cleaning religiously. The hilotherm device did a difference in making my first week more bearable and I strongly advise having it with you during the first week of recovery. Compared when cast came off in the first week, the nose looked a lot different than now. Swelling does subside, just trust the process. Regarding the aftercare, It's been 10 months since my surgery, and I skipped taping only twice. It does make a big difference. Also, when I consume alcohol and dairy, my nose gets stuffy, therefore I consume them rarely. Regarding the discomfort at the rib prelevation site, when I train with heavier weights, I tend to feel slight dicomfort, but it gradually improved and one should take proper time to readjust the gym routine untill full healing. All in all, I wish anybody reading this all the good luck in finding the right surgeon for you. I wish I came here in the first place. I'll keep this post updated. For anyone who wants further info, feel free to contact me. -- Dr. Colceriu Alexandra
Amazing experience from the preop to the post op care. Robotti gave me back my male nose. I will be forever thankful to his talent and dedication. I asked a male natural nose and that’s what he delivered. I can only recommend him, specially for a revision. I have my confidence back. I thank all his staff, specially Dr Cottone and Francesca. I will be forever grateful. I post a picture at 5 months post op.
From the very first consultation, Dr. Robotti impressed me with his meticulous planning and attention to detail. Rhinoplasty is a procedure that requires more than just surgical skill—it demands a deep understanding of facial harmony and a personalized approach. Dr. Robotti delivered both in spades. He walked me through every aspect of the surgery, ensuring that my expectations were aligned with what could realistically be achieved, while also mapping out a tailored plan that reflected his vision for a balanced, natural result. Throughout the entire process, I felt confident knowing that I was in the hands of someone who truly understood both the technical and aesthetic complexities of the procedure. His expertise is undeniable, but what sets him apart is his artistic eye. The results were exactly what I had hoped for—refined yet completely natural. It's the kind of change that enhances my appearance without drawing attention to the fact that I had surgery. People have remarked on how great I look, but no one has pinpointed that it's due to a rhinoplasty, which speaks volumes about Dr. Robotti's subtlety and precision. Dr. Robotti’s dedication from day one, combined with his brilliance as both a surgeon and an artist, made this experience exceptional. If you're looking for a surgeon who not only understands the science behind rhinoplasty but also the art, Dr. Robotti is the clear choice. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
I can't recommend Dr Robotti enough. I went trought a revision rynoplasty intervention on November 2022. After doing my research I got in touch with a few specialists but when I meet the doctor I knew he was the one I could trust. Dr Robotti and his team took great care of me and they were very kind, professional and empatethic. Unfortunately I had a extremely dificult case with 2 previous rynoplasties that didn't go well, I could barely breath and it impacted negatively on my daily routine, the first revision I had made things worst and the doctor fixed the issues of both procedures. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Robotti. I cannot describe highly enough of the outstanding job he did back in 2022!!!. He is extremely skilled and a perfectionist, he specialises in very complex cases. From our first consultation via Zoom call, Dr. Robotti demonstrated exceptional professionalism, kwoledge, compassion and empathy. He took the time to explain every detail of the procedure and he answered all my questions. After our first interaction I felt confident that I was in the best possible hands. The intervention itself was conducted with the most precision and care, Dr Robotti recommended me to wear a mask after the intervention which made a huge difference and helped me to recover quicly and have less bruises . The procedure lasted about 4- 5 hours, the results exceeded my expectations. I can't thank him enough. His revision has had a huge positive impact on my health and well-being, I am very happy and now I can breath again! Grazie Doctor! Thank you!
I find it hard to express how immensely grateful I am to Dr. Robboti. A year after my first septorhinoplasty, I am still amazed by the results and (at the same time got used to my new nose surprisingly fast) . I wanted a natural nose that maintained some of my cultural features, and Dr. Robboti did exactly that. He custom-made a nose for me. My fears of it looking unnatural were unfounded; it seamlessly fits my face and character, and I also breathe better and sleep better at night. My family agrees—it looks like a better version of the family nose. Dr. Robboti's artistry and precision are remarkable. The entire team was professional and supportive throughout the process. My only regret is not doing it sooner. I highly recommend Dr. Robboti. I feel very fortunate to have done it with him
