Abstract |
Rhinophyma is an uncommon condition that often results in both functional as well as cosmetic impairment. Different treatment modalities have been devised, with varying degrees of success. A review of the pathophysiology of this condition, together with the authors' experience in managing 76 cases utilizing six different treatment methods, is presented. A simple and atraumatic surgical method has evolved using a Weck blade and argon beam coagulator. The operating time is decreased significantly when compared to other techniques with equal to superior cosmetic results.
