I am 34 and pretty certain I have rhinophyma. Is it bad, and how do I fix it to feel cute again? (Photo)

     Any skin changes can be improved with skin resurfacing procedures.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your
photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty.  Your surgeon can
accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your
lower nose. You may also benefit from a dorsal hump
reduction.  Make sure you specifically look at
before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed
by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system.
The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I
recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic
surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.
