Rhinophyma / Rosacea of the Nose
|
| |
Rhinophyma is a large, bulb-shaped, red-colored nose
<
Rhinophyma is a condition of very marked overgrowth of the sebaceous glands of the nose. The Rhinophyma is one such condition in which the person's nose is in abnormal shape. This is not a common condition for all people.
Rhinophyma is a descriptive term derived from the Greek "rhis" meaning nose and "phyma" meaning growth. The people who are affected from Rhinophyma have the bulb shaped nose. Moreover, the abnormal nose is common skin condition rosacea. It manifests as enlargement of the nose and bulbosity of the nasal tip with enlargement of pores.
Symptoms involve an abnormal appearance of the nose:
- Bulb-like (bulbous) shape
- Many oil glands
- May be reddish
- Thickening of the skin
Rhinophyma is a disease that typically afflicts white males between 40 and 60 years of age, although there have been a few patients who developed it in their 30s. It is far more common in men than women |

What are the different types of nasal surgery? |
|
|
| |
The following are some of the different types of nasal
surgery:
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty can
reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape
of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils,
or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip.
It may also correct a birth defect or injury, or help
relieve some breathing problems.
Rhinoplasty is the
surgical repair of a defect of the nose, including reshaping
or resizing the nose. Rhinoplasty may be performed to
accomplish the following:
 |
change the size of the nose |
|
change the shape of the nose |
|
narrow the nostrils |
|
change the angle between the nose and lips |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Nasal surgery includes any surgery performed on the outside
or inside of the nose. A common type of reconstructive and
cosmetic surgery, nasal surgery may be performed to accomplish
the following: |
|
| |
|
improve breathing |
|
correct congenital or acquired deformities |
|
change size or shape of nose (cosmetic) |
|
repair nasal injuries |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Septoplasty
Septoplasty is the
surgical correction of defects and deformities of the nasal
septum (the partition between the nostrils). Examples of
septoplasty include the following:
|
|
| |
|
correction of a deviated septum |
| |
A
deviated septum is a condition in which the partition
(septum) between the nostrils is not in a straight vertical
alignment. A deviated septum can cause obstructed airflow. A
deviated septum can be caused by a birth defect or injury. |
|
correction of cleft defects that affect the nose
and nasal cavity |
| |
| Will Insurance cover my surgery? |
If your requests are of a functional nature
(for example, you cannot breathe through your
nose), many insurance companies will cover the
part of the surgery that is required to correct
these problems.
However, any requests that relate simply to
change of appearance are generally not covered
by insurance companies, and do require a
cosmetic surgery fee. |
