Rhinophyma Treatment

What is Rhinophyma?

Rhinophyma is a skin disorder that leads to the overgrowth of the oil glands in the nose. It's most common in older men with fair skin, but can affect anyone.

Symptoms of Rhinophyma:

• Enlarged, bumpy nose

• Redness

• Skin thickening

• Difficulty breathing (severe cases)

Rhinophyma Treatment with Dr. Park

If rhinophyma is significantly impacting your appearance or breathing, surgery may be recommended. Dr. Park, also experienced in nose job surgery (rhinoplasty) for nasal deformity in Newport Beach, will assess your condition and discuss treatment options.

Rhinophyma Surgery

• Suitable Candidates: Generally healthy individuals seeking to improve the nasal appearance and/or breathing issues caused by rhinophyma.

• Anesthesia: Twilight sedation, general anesthesia, or local anesthesia (depending on severity).

• Procedure: Dr. Park carefully removes excess tissue to reshape the nose for a more natural look. In severe cases, a second surgery might be needed to address a collapsed nasal area.

• Recovery: Takes several weeks, with wound cleaning and sun protection crucial during healing.
