“…It is recommended to leave a rim of uninterrupted skin (0.5–1 cm) around the nares to prevent secondary scar contraction 25,27 . Post‐operative hypertrophic scarring on the side of the nose near the nasofacial sulcus can be treated with intra‐lesional triamcinolone injections 28 …”

Rosacea is a common condition often resulting in persistent erythema and telangiectasia as well as rhinophyma in a number of patients. Over the last two decades lasers have been increasingly used in the treatment of these permanent changes. The literature is reviewed in terms of the different laser systems, side-effects and comparison with other surgical techniques. Laser studies on rosacea-associated telangiectasia and erythema are limited. Copper-bromide, krypton and KTP lasers have been used with good to excellent results. However, the most commonly applied system is the flash lamp-pumped pulsed dye laser. Rhinophyma can be treated with a variety of different surgical methods, including laser resurfacing. CO(2) lasers are the most widely used lasers, others are the Er:YAG and Nd:YAG lasers. Cosmetic end results are comparable to partial excision with a scalpel or electrosurgery. There does not appear to be an increased risk of infection or scarring, but the conventional surgical methods are quicker to perform and more cost effective.

“…Many authors used the CO 2 laser [3,5,9,12,14,20,21], but other lasers were also tested for treatment of rhinophyma. Barry et al [2] reported using an Nd:YAG laser for excision of rhinophyma with excellent results.…”

“…Carbon Dioxide 2 laser treatment of rhinophyma possessed clear advantages over other techniques; in particular, the thermal damage was less than that of the electrocautery method while simultaneously offering a modicum of hemostasis. 8,9 The results were deemed excellent and the complication rates were acceptable. The major disadvantage that Stucker found with the CO 2 laser was that this method was relatively time consuming.…”

Rhinophyma is a condition that can cause significant disfigurement as well as functional impairment of the nose. It results from hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the sebaceous glands and can be a manifestation of advanced staged rosacea. If left untreated, not only can it cause disfigurement, rhinophyma can also result in nasal airway obstruction by marked ptosis and collapse of the external nasal valve. Surgical excision is the definitive treatment as rhinophyma does not spontaneously regress. Though various surgical techniques are available for the treatment of rhinophyma, a specific technique using tumescent anesthesia, sharp dissection, and argon beam coagulation has been found to be most efficacious. This technique and its advantages are described.
