Nose Surgery

Rhiniophyma is a skin condition that causes disfiguring growth and thickening of the nose. If left untreated, rhinophyma can grow very large. Treatment involves reducing the abnormal tissue with radiowave surgery and/or CO2 laser. The procedure is performed with IV sedation and the nose will be pink for several weeks.

Filler “Rhinoplasty”

Although not a true surgical procedure, many patients have subtle nasal deformities that can be masqueraded or camouflaged with injectable fillers.  By filling a depression on the top of the nose, the nasal bridge can look smoother because the hump is lessened.
