Rhinophyma is treated by sculpting the outside covering of the nose usually using an electrocautery. This removes the significant excess skin and glandular tissue leaving a raw area that reepithelializes in about a week like a skinned knee. The cost will vary depending on whether you have it done in the office or an OR and how bad the problem is. See a plastic surgeon who has had significant experience in doing this as it is not a common surgery.

I treat rhinophyma. It is usually covered by health insurance, so as long as the surgeon participates with your insurance plan, the fee is determined by the insurance company.
