Dr Dan Robinson

Dr Dan Robinson is an experienced Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) surgeon and the only surgeon in Queensland who is recognised by the Australian Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery as a qualified Facial Plastic Surgeon.

He has advanced training in rhinoplasty and his focus allows him to perform the most advanced techniques obtaining excellent results for his patients. He is also fully qualified as a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of Surgeons.

Dr Robinson’s extensive experience includes formal training for both functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty. He has completed a full one-year fellowship in facial plastic surgery and during this period performed more than 100 rhinoplasties. He has also successfully passed the International Facial Plastic Surgery exam which is held once a year in Washington DC. This exam covers areas of advanced rhinoplasty as well as facial plastic surgery.

Dr Robinson believes that the best results in rhinoplasty require a meticulous approach in pre-operative consultation, intra operative technique and postoperative management. To this end, he never rushes an operation and takes the required amount of time to achieve the desired result.

Dr Robinson believes extensive communication with patients and follow up, which he continues for at least six months post-operation, is key to achieving the best results.

Dr Robinson, who graduated with honours from Sydney University in 2002, is actively involved in research in rhinoplasty and regularly presents at conferences both amongst his contemporaries as well as with training registrars.

Some of the topics that he has presented on include:
• Aesthetic facial analysis
• Evolution of facial plastic surgery
• Application of the autospreader in rhinoplasty
• Management of the nasal valve
• Prospective analysis of rhinoplasty outcomes
• Straightening the bent nose.

Dr Robinson also works at the Gold Coast University Hospital and is actively involved in the teaching and training of ENT surgeons as well as junior doctors in rhinoplasty and facial plastics. He also organises the Gold Coast ENT journal club, regularly presenting at this meeting.

Dr Robinson completed a fellowship in Facial Plastic Surgery in Perth in 2012 under the guidance of Dr Tuan Pham. During this period Dr Robinson received advanced training in rhinoplasty with a specific focus on cosmetic rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty and severe nasal  obstruction.
