My Septorhinoplasty Experience

My experience with Dr. Robb and his team was phenomenal. I went in for a septorhinoplasty, and came out with renewed confidence, better breathing, and a nose I feel I was always meant to have!

I had my surgery back in May of 2023, so I am now almost 8 months post-op! It takes up to a year to fully heal, and seeing as how I’m only four months away from that milestone, I think it’s the perfect time to review my experience.

I have wanted a rhinoplasty since I was a teenager. After puberty, I started noticing things I didn’t like about my nose. There was a bump on the bridge, the tip was droopy, and my septum was deviated making the whole thing look crooked on my face. Dr. Robb was able to remove the bump and give me a more sloped profile. He lifted the tip and it no longer drops when I smile. He also corrected my deviated septum, making my nose look straighter and, more importantly, making it easier for me to breathe.

Dr. Robb did everything I asked of him, and I think the results are extremely natural - no one ever believes I’ve had work done when I tell them teehee! He seems to have a very holistic approach, taking into account how your nose fits with the rest of your face. Every nose is unique to the individual and he treats it as such.

One of my biggest fears about this procedure was that I’d ruin the functionality of my nose in pursuit of aesthetic improvement. After my initial consultation with Dr. Robb, I knew I had nothing to worry about. He is very thoughtful about preserving structural integrity and ameliorating weak points in the anatomy you were born with. If anything, my nose works better after the surgery than it did before.

I traveled from out of town for my procedure, and didn’t have any problems. I stayed in Alpharetta for a week. I flew in the day before my surgery and left a week later, after my cast was removed. The area is beautiful, and I would honestly go back to visit just for fun!

Dr. Robb uses an ultrasonic rhinoplasty technique which is less aggressive during surgery and, in turn, results in a shorter, less painful recovery. I bruised very minimally and the pain was easily manageable with the pain meds provided. I had to fly home the day my cast was removed, and I remember being worried that I’d get strange looks in the airport - I thought I was going to be walking around looking like I lost a fight. Thankfully, that did not happen. I’d honestly be surprised if anyone noticed anything. At that point in my recovery (again, only a week out), I had no signs of bruising or redness. All that remained was some swelling.

As far as how I was treated by Dr. Robb and his team: I have nothing but nice things to say! Rita, whom I spoke with on the phone several times and whom I met with at my consultation and after my surgery, was always extremely warm and patient with me. She answered my many questions, and was encouraging without being pushy. Dr. Robb has a lovely bedside manner. He is obviously very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. I truly think he’s found his life’s purpose, and I couldn’t be more happy for him (and the lucky patients he helps)! I particularly appreciated the prayer we shared before going into the operating room. He also called to check in on me right after my surgery, and it was comforting to know that he was there if I needed anything. Unfortunately, I cannot for the life of me remember their names, but I would be remiss to not mention how kind the anesthesiologist and nurse were the day of my surgery. They were both calm and collected which really helped me relax. I felt I was in good hands. And I was. Again, I do not know people’s names, but everyone in the office was very bubbly and positive. Also, Robyn and Nicole at the front desk have been SO SO considerate and helpful when it came to scheduling my follow-up appointments. I have an unpredictable school and work schedule, and they’ve been so understanding anytime I’ve needed to reschedule.

Overall, I am more than satisfied with my choice to have a septorhinoplasty performed by Dr. Robb. I don’t think I could ask for more.

Before my surgery, I used to daydream about how I wished my nose looked. I’d edit photos of myself to see how I’d look if “this” or “that” was tweaked. I’d instinctually lift my hand to cover my nose anytime I smiled or laughed. I’d sometimes run my fingers over the bump on my nose and wish I could just press down and it would disappear. Near the end of the pandemic, I remember being upset when the mask mandate was removed, because I actually LIKED wearing my mask - it hid my biggest insecurity, after all.

But, I don’t worry about any of that anymore.
To be honest, I don’t think about my nose very much at all. I definitely don’t obsess over it like I used to.
There’s a certain peace of mind that this surgery has given me. It’s a peacefulness more valuable than any cute nose could ever be. But, thanks to Dr. Robb and his team, I get to have my cute nose too!

Best of luck to anyone on their rhinoplasty/septorhinoplasty journey! :)
