Trichoepithelioma removal

Hello. I have what I would consider to be severe Trichoepithelioma all over my nose, forehead and ears. My question is, what are the chances of it being completely removed, and having a smooth, normal looking face? It is really affecting my self esteem and my social interactions.

Procedure: Thread Lift
Location: hanover, PA

Trichoepithilomas of the nose and face can pose a difficult condition to treat. LASER or dermabrasion can be used to smooth the face. Individual tumors can be removed as necessary. See a board Certified plastic surgeon in consultation. Good luck. 🍀

Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Unfortunately without knowing the full extent or severity it is difficult to offer definite advice. I would recommend seeing a series of ASPS board certified plastic surgeons in consultation to discuss.
