What treatment can I get for sebaceous gland hyperplasia on the tip of my nose? (Photo)

March 31, 2017
Asked By:Backtonormality in United Kingdom, GB

Following a biopsy, it was confirmed that I have sebaceous gland hyperplasia. Two bumps on the tip of my nose with a crease in the middle. Now I also have a biopsy scar too! The bumps are definitely getting bigger and changing the appearance of my nose. It is most definitely knocking my confidence. I would consider any form of treatment. Please help.

Richard W. Fleming, MD (retired) says:

Any patient who wants to dictate how a revision rhinoplasty procedure should be done is making a terrible mistake. For many years I've said pick the surgeon, not the technique. An experienced surgeon always wants the patient's imput re the goals of a procedure but not how to get there.
