Introduction
Rhinophyma Surgery
When oral and topical medications no longer control the progression of rosacea, many patients require more advanced care for severe nasal rosacea or rhinophyma. Rhinophyma, a rare skin disorder typically associated with advanced rosacea, enlarges and disfigures the nose, causing thickened skin and nasal obstruction in the advanced stages. Dr. Gray offers expert treatment for these severe cases, utilizing specialized surgical techniques such as scalpel, laser, or electrosurgery. Through these methods, Dr. Gray skillfully reshapes a disfigured nose, minimizes the appearance of enlarged blood vessels, and removes excess tissue, providing significant cosmetic improvements and restoring confidence to those affected by severe rosacea and rhinophyma.

The procedure may involve risks such as pain, infection, bleeding, and the potential need for repeat procedures or revisions.
Following Rhinophyma surgery, the skin remains raw and necessitates sterile dressing. The area may be painful, prone to weeping, and demands meticulous wound care to avert infection and promote the growth of healthy new skin. Typically, patients need to keep a nasal dressing for one to two weeks.
