Rhinoplasty in Tampa Bay

Most patients report pressure and congestion rather than sharp pain, and describe the discomfort as very manageable with the medication Dr. K prescribes. The first few days involve the most swelling; it eases quickly from there.

A splint is typically worn for about a week, and most visible bruising and swelling subside within one to three weeks. Many patients return to desk work in one to two weeks. Strenuous activity is limited for several weeks to protect your result.

That's the entire philosophy at Art Form. Dr. K designs each rhinoplasty to fit your face and features, so the result looks balanced and refined, like the best version of your own nose, never obviously operated on.

Yes. Many patients combine cosmetic reshaping with functional correction, such as a deviated septum, in a single procedure called septorhinoplasty. As a facial specialist, Dr. K routinely addresses both form and function together.

Yes. Dr. Kieliszak treats patients who are unhappy with the results of a previous nose surgery. Revision cases are more complex, so a thorough consultation is especially important to set a realistic, personalized plan.

Rhinoplasty can be performed “closed” (incisions hidden inside the nose) or “open” (a tiny incision on the columella, the strip between the nostrils). When an open approach is used, the scar is very small and typically becomes nearly invisible. Dr. K selects the approach that best fits your anatomy and goals.

Cost depends on the complexity of your procedure and whether functional work is involved, so you'll receive an exact quote at your consultation. Flexible monthly payment plans are available, so just ask about financing when you visit.

Rhinoplasty is generally performed once facial growth is complete, typically the mid-to-late teens or older, on healthy patients with realistic expectations. Dr. K will confirm candidacy during your consultation.
