Rhinophyma is a progressive, non-cancerous condition that causes the skin of the nose to become thickened, enlarged and irregular in appearance. It most commonly develops in people with longstanding rosacea and can affect both the appearance and, in more advanced cases, the function of the nose by narrowing the nostrils.
Rhinophyma surgery is designed to remove excess tissue, restore the natural contours of the nose and improve facial balance while preserving your individual features. Although surgery does not cure the underlying rosacea, it is the most effective treatment for established rhinophyma and can provide long-lasting improvements in both appearance and confidence.
