Who is at Risk?
While anyone with rosacea can develop Rhinophyma, certain factors may increase the risk, including:
- Male gender: Rhinophyma is more common in men than women.
- Age: Rhinophyma typically develops in middle-aged or older individuals.
- Prolonged untreated rosacea: Chronic rosacea that is left untreated may progress to Rhinophyma.
Treatment Options:
- Medications: Topical or oral medications, such as antibiotics or isotretinoin, may help reduce inflammation and control symptoms of rosacea associated with Rhinophyma.
- Laser Therapy: Various laser treatments, such as CO2 laser or pulsed dye laser, can effectively remove excess tissue, reduce redness, and improve the texture of the skin.
- Surgical Excision: In severe cases of Rhinophyma, surgical excision may be necessary to remove excess tissue and reshape the nose. This procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia by Rejuuvmed.
- Electrosurgery: Electrosurgery involves using an electrical current to remove excess tissue and reshape the nose. It is often combined with other treatments for optimal results.
Recovery Time:
While Rhinophyma treatment is generally safe, potential risks and complications may include:
- Infection at the treatment site.
- Scarring or changes in pigmentation.
- Recurrence of Rhinophyma over time.
- Unsatisfactory cosmetic outcomes, though these are rare when the procedure is performed by Rejuuvmed.
Prevention:
While there is no guaranteed way to prevent Rhinophyma, managing and treating rosacea symptoms promptly may help reduce the risk of progression to Rhinophyma. This includes:
- Avoiding triggers that exacerbate rosacea symptoms, such as sun exposure, spicy foods, alcohol, and hot beverages.
- Using gentle skincare products and avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubs.
- Seeking medical treatment for rosacea symptoms, including redness, flushing, and acne-like lesions.
Common Treatments Combined with Rhinophyma Surgery

- Such as laser resurfacing, chemical peels, or microneedling to improve skin texture and tone.
- Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery):
- To address droopy or puffy eyelids, enhancing the overall facial appearance.
- Facelift:
- To tighten and lift sagging skin on the face and neck, providing a more youthful look.
