Rhinoplasty in Tampa
Facial balance–focused rhinoplasty from Dr. Dominic Castellano, a double board-certified surgeon and ENT specialist.
Is Rhinoplasty the Right Way to Improve Facial Balance?
A rhinoplasty procedure in Tampa can enhance your facial harmony by reshaping the nasal bridge, refining a bulbous or drooping tip, narrowing the nostrils, or correcting internal structures to improve breathing.
Most patients aren’t looking for a “new” face; they simply want a nose that fits their features more naturally, allowing their eyes and smile to become the focal point again.
Dr. Dominic Castellano specializes in rhinoplasty surgery that creates a balanced, refined profile while preserving your unique facial character.
Rhinoplasty may be right for you if you are concerned with:
- A prominent hump or “hook” on the bridge of the nose
- A nasal tip that appears too wide, drooping, or upturned
- A nose that feels too large or out of proportion with your chin and forehead
- Asymmetry or crookedness caused by a previous injury or genetics
- Difficulty breathing due to a deviated septum or narrow nasal passages
- Wide or flared nostrils that detract from facial balance
When Rhinoplasty Isn’t the Only Option
The best approach depends on what is affecting facial balance. Sometimes the nose is only one part of the concern, and another procedure may better match your goals.
- If a recessed chin is making the nose appear more prominent, a chin implant may help improve profile balance.
- If loose skin or fullness beneath the jawline is the primary concern, a neck lift may create better facial definition.
- For lower-face rejuvenation, combining rhinoplasty with a facelift or deep plane facelift may create a more balanced, youthful overall appearance.
- For overall facial balance, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or a brow lift may help create a more refreshed appearance around the eyes that complements rhinoplasty results.

What Recovery Looks Like After Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty recovery happens in stages, and Dr. Dominic checks in regularly to make sure you’re healing properly. Here’s what patients can typically expect during recovery:
Week 1
You will wear a protective splint to support your nose as initial swelling and bruising reach their peak.
Week 2
Most visible bruising fades during this stage, allowing many patients to return to work or school.
Weeks 3-4
Your nasal profile begins to look more refined as the majority of initial swelling steadily decreases.
Months 6–12
Subtle refinements continue for several months until your final results fully settle into place.
Common Concerns Before
Choosing Rhinoplasty Surgery
How much does a rhinoplasty cost?
A primary rhinoplasty typically costs around $11,000, including all fees. During your consultation, we’ll provide an accurate estimate, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
Is rhinoplasty permanent?
Yes, surgical rhinoplasty creates lasting changes to the bone and cartilage of your nose. Non-surgical (filler) rhinoplasty is temporary and usually lasts 6–18 months.
When can I return to normal activities after a rhinoplasty?
Most patients return to desk work or school in 7–14 days, once splints and visible bruising have improved. You can typically resume light exercise around 2–3 weeks, and strenuous workouts and contact activities at 4–6 weeks, depending on your surgeon’s guidance.
Does insurance cover medically necessary rhinoplasties?
Functional corrections, such as repairing a deviated septum or valve collapse, may be partially covered, but will not change the appearance of your nose. The cosmetic portion is typically self-pay. Coverage depends on your plan and medical necessity, so preauthorization and documentation are required.
