Rhinophyma (Excessively Large Nose Tip) Surgery
The oil glands (sebaceous glands) in the nasal skin grow increasingly larger, causing irregular thickening of the nasal skin and even slightly raised lumps on the surface, resulting in an aesthetically undesirable appearance. Patients with rhinophyma complain of both nasal congestion and cosmetic appearance. Although it is not known exactly why it occurs, it is considered the most advanced form of acne rosacea.
In its treatment, precautions such as avoiding irritants such as ultraviolet light and alcohol may be recommended, followed by retinoic acids and antibiotics as drug therapy. However, if such treatments fail to yield results, surgical treatment is preferred. In the surgical method used, partial or complete excision is performed while preserving the skin attachments. In surgical treatment; Scalpel excision, dermabrasion, cryotherapy, laser, electrocautery and radiofrequency are used.
With radiofrequency surgery, you can get rid of the appearance of overly large nose tip (rhinophima) with a 15-20 minute procedure in a clinic environment by providing regional anesthesia with local anesthesia without causing tissue damage.
