The nose is central to the face, and thus takes a prominent role in the harmony and proportion of our overall appearance. Imbalances such as a prominent nasal bridge, a round bulbous tip, a wide nasal base, or the irregular relationship between each of these structures detracts from the more desirable facial features such as bright eyes or youthful cheek and chin contour. Rhinoplasty surgery identifies the anatomic foundation of the irregularities, precisely modifies the bone cartilage and soft tissue of the nose, and restores the nuanced curves shadows and highlights that identify an elegant, natural nose.
Dr. Robertson has been specializing in rhinoplasty for over two decades, and has been at the forefront of the evolution of technique. Current emphasis is on a more stable, precise, structural approach to surgery, with a priority on maintaining more elements of bone and cartilage that are repositioned as opposed to removed. Such meticulous attention to detail restores the proportional and delicate nasal contours while prioritizing natural results that last a lifetime. Furthermore, function is maintained, making sure the nose breathes as naturally as it looks.
Dr. Robertson has extensive experience with all aspects of rhinoplasty. His expertise allows the appropriate application of endonasal or closed rhinoplasty approaches as well as open rhinoplasty incisions. Architecturally, cartilage sparing techniques are balanced against structural grafts from the septum, ear or rib as needed. Finesse and meticulous technique predictably correct nasal obstruction, irregularity from injury and prior surgery, or nasal disproportions that detract from the natural balance of facial features.
Refine Your Nose, Enhance Your Natural Beauty
The nose holds a uniquely central place in facial harmony. Its shape, size, and angles affect the balance between features, the profile’s aesthetic, and even the way expressions are perceived. At Robertson Cosmetic Center, rhinoplasty—or nose reshaping surgery—is performed with careful attention to both form and function, ensuring results that enhance your natural beauty without sacrificing individuality.
Whether you’re bothered by a prominent nasal bridge, a round tip, wide nostrils, or asymmetry caused by injury or genetics, rhinoplasty offers the opportunity to bring your nose into better proportion with the rest of your face—subtly elevating your overall appearance.
What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes and refines the nose by modifying its underlying bone, cartilage, and soft tissue structure. The goal is not to create a one-size-fits-all result, but to create a natural-looking nose that complements the unique features of each patient.
Common aesthetic concerns addressed with rhinoplasty include:
- A dorsal hump or high nasal bridge
- A bulbous or drooping nasal tip
- A wide or flared nasal base
- Nostril asymmetry or irregularities
- Disproportionate nose-to-face ratio
- A crooked or off-center nasal structure
In addition to cosmetic enhancements, rhinoplasty can also correct nasal obstruction or breathing difficulties, often caused by structural issues such as a deviated septum or collapsed nasal valves.
The Robertson Cosmetic Center Approach to Rhinoplasty
Our expert facial plastic surgeons have been performing rhinoplasty for more than two decades and are deeply experienced in both primary and revision nasal surgeries. Over the years, we have remained at the forefront of the evolution of rhinoplasty techniques, embracing a structural and cartilage-preserving approach that prioritizes longevity, function, and natural results.
Rather than simply removing tissue to reduce size or change shape, modern rhinoplasty under our care focuses on repositioning, reshaping, and supporting the existing structures of the nose. This thoughtful, meticulous approach ensures the nose looks refined and elegant—but also functions optimally and holds its shape over time.
The plastic surgeons at Robertson Cosmetic Center are skilled in a wide range of rhinoplasty methods, including:
- Open Rhinoplasty: Offers maximum visibility and access through a small incision at the base of the nose. Ideal for precise reshaping and complex cases.
- Endonasal or Closed Rhinoplasty: Performed through internal incisions, leaving no visible scar. Often used for more straightforward modifications.
Depending on your needs, he may also use cartilage grafts harvested from the nasal septum, ear, or even rib to support or rebuild parts of the nose. This is particularly valuable in revision surgeries or cases where internal support is necessary to maintain structural integrity.
What Can Rhinoplasty Achieve?
Every rhinoplasty performed at Robertson Cosmetic Center is individualized. During your consultation, we will assess your facial structure, listen to your concerns, and design a plan that reflects your aesthetic goals. Whether your priorities are cosmetic, functional, or both, rhinoplasty can:
- Improve facial balance and symmetry
- Refine the nasal bridge and tip
- Narrow or reshape the nostrils
- Correct a deviated septum
- Restore structure and shape after trauma or previous surgery
- Enhance airflow and ease of breathing
The changes may be subtle or dramatic, but the intention is always the same: to create a nose that feels harmonious with the rest of your features, not to make you look like someone else.

This comprehensive approach sets Robertson Cosmetic Center apart—bridging the gap between aesthetic artistry and medical precision.
