Managing Rhinophyma by Trimodal Therapy-Novel Approach.

Rhinophyma is characterized by nodular thickening of the Nasal skin, sebaceous gland hyperplasia, dilated pores, and in its late stage, fibrosis. In severe cases, it results in loss of normal facial contours, significant disfigurement, and social isolation. Treatment options for severe rhinophyma include cryosurgery, partial-thickness decortications with subsequent secondary reepithelialisation, laser ablation, full thickness resection with graft or flap reconstruction, excision by electrocautery or radio frequency. We report a case of severe rhinophyma resulting in marked facial disfigurement treated successfully with trimodal therapy with excellent cosmetic outcome on a long term follow up.
