What is the Best Way to Get Rid of Rhinophyma?

nyc13
Would it be through laser treatment (e.g. co2 laser ) or surgery? I seem to have rhinophyma but on one side of the nose since its looks large, red , and bulbous on that side. I believe this was caused by my dermatologist who popped a very big pimple i had on that side of my nose without carefullness, and put an injection on it which she said was to kil the bacteria and avoid infection. since then my nose on that is large and bulbous. Does anyone what i should do and which procedure would better ?
