Rhinophyma Before & After Case 166

Rhinophyma is a chronic skin condition that leads to progressive changes in the nose’s appearance. In this case, the patient, a 77-year-old man, sought treatment for severe rhinophyma in Santa Rosa. He experienced significant nasal enlargement, irregular surface texture, and persistent redness. The changes impacted his daily life and self-confidence.

The above patient underwent a CO2 laser procedure to address the overgrowth of sebaceous glands and thickened skin. Greg Chernoff, MD, used a precise laser technique to remove excess tissue, smooth surface irregularities, and restore a more natural nasal contour. 

Dr. Chernoff’s expertise in managing rhinophyma in Santa Rosa is informed by his triple board certification and specialized fellowship training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. He uses advanced laser therapies and evidence-based techniques to create natural-looking outcomes that support patient comfort and confidence.
