What Is Rhinophyma?

Rhinophyma is a skin condition characterized by a bulbous appearance of the nose due to the overactivity of the sebaceous glands on the nose, often as a result of severe rosacea. As rosacea advances or remains untreated, the nasal skin begins to thicken, leading to redness, swelling, an irregular shape, and the development of prominent pores and a bumpy appearance. Aside from the aesthetic concerns, rhinophyma can interfere with nasal airflow, making breathing difficult or uncomfortable. 

While there are non-surgical options for rosacea, including laser treatments, when the condition becomes rhinophyma, correction surgery is the ideal treatment for regaining control and confidence over your appearance.

How Is Rhinophyma Treated?

Rhinophyma is often treated with a combination of surgery and laser resurfacing. Dr. Brys will assess the degree of growth and determine the most effective treatment for you. The goal of rhinophyma correction surgery is to reshape and restore the appearance of the nose, remove excess tissue and sebaceous glands, reduce the size of blood vessels in the nose, and help you breathe with ease.

Preparing for Your Rhinophyma Correction Surgery

Dr. Brys customizes each rhinophyma treatment in Parsippany, NJ to achieve optimal results for each patient, making all procedures unique. Here are some common steps to expect.

Schedule Your Consultation

 When you schedule your consultation, please prepare to bring your medical records and all previous diagnoses and treatment information with you. It is important to choose a specialist who is also experienced in nasal surgery and facial contouring, as you want to achieve your aesthetic goals and preserve as much healthy tissue as possible.

Get Tested

During your consultation, Dr. Brys may advise you to have medical evaluations, bloodwork, or other tests to assess your overall health. At this time, she will also instruct you on how to proceed with your current medications, including blood-thinning medications, anti-inflammatory drugs, or herbal supplements that may cause bleeding.

Quit Smoking/Vaping

Smoking negatively impacts your body’s ability to heal following any plastic surgery procedure, causing complications, delaying recovery, and significantly affecting your results. If you smoke, vape, or use nicotine products, you should quit. For at least 2 weeks before surgery and until recovery is complete, avoid all nicotine products.

Eat Balanced Meals and Stay Hydrated

Eat healthy, nutritious meals with plenty of protein and rich in vitamins and minerals, as proper nutrition supports optimal recovery. Avoid processed or fast foods that are high in calories but low in nutrients.

Prepare for Your Recovery

Take adequate time off work. Plan for a responsible adult to drive you home after your procedure. Arrange a clean, comfortable place to recuperate. Purchase the supplies you’ll need and fill prescriptions.

Rhinophyma Procedure Overview

On the day of your procedure, you’ll meet with Dr. Brys to review the details of your treatment plan and answer any final questions you have. Before beginning your procedure, you will receive local anesthesia. 

Dr. Brys will use the ablative laser resurfacing or dermabrasion technique that you discussed during your consultation to remove excess tissue and sebaceous glands and reshape your nose. Generally, this procedure takes between 1 and 2 hours.

Rhinophyma Recovery and Healing

The extent of your rhinophyma surgery will determine the length of your recovery time. As rhinophyma correction surgery is an outpatient procedure typically performed under local anesthesia or with sedation, you will return home following treatment. However, you may need a responsible adult to drive you.

After your procedure, Dr. Brys will place a moisturizing ointment on your nose and a light dressing. You should expect redness and swelling to last between one to three weeks. Because the skin on your nose will be new and fragile, Dr. Brys recommends staying out of the sun and following a diligent wound care and post-surgical skincare routine to maintain your results and support your new skin growth.

Many patients can return to normal activities within a few days, but it is important to avoid sun exposure and keep the area moist while your skin is healing. Dr. Brys will provide you with detailed care instructions
