Aarav Gupta, a 58-year-old restaurant owner...
Aarav Gupta, a 58-year-old restaurant owner from Mumbai, had struggled with rosacea for over two decades. His rhinophyma had progressed slowly but steadily, causing his nose to become significantly enlarged, bulbous, and nodular with prominent pores. The physical symptoms included occasional bleeding from superficial vessels and difficulty wearing glasses. More profoundly, Aarav had become increasingly withdrawn, avoiding social gatherings and family photos, convinced everyone was staring at his nose. His ENT surgeon, Dr. Sharma, recommended a shave excision procedure under local anesthesia to reshape the nose, remove the excess tissue, and smooth the texture. The procedure itself was straightforward, though Aarav was anxious. The recovery involved careful wound care with ointments and sun protection. The final result, after several weeks of healing, was a dramatically improved nasal contour. While not 'perfect,' the reduction in size and normalization of texture was life-changing. Aarav's emotional journey moved from deep shame and social isolation to cautious relief and, finally, a regained confidence. He felt he could face his customers and his family without the constant burden of self-consciousness.
