Rhinophyma, a progressive skin disorder associated with severe rosacea, can significantly affect not just appearance but confidence and comfort. At Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, LLC, based in the heart of Buckhead in Atlanta, GA, we understand the emotional and social toll this condition can take. That’s why our entire practice is designed to provide expert-level care with compassion, precision, and discretion.
Dr. Stong did an amazing job. I had an eyebrow lift, eyelids, face and neck lift. It’s only been 3.5 weeks and I am thrilled with the new me already! He is highly qualified and I recommend him without hesitation. He and his office staff are professional, available and eager to make your experience a positive one.

Why Atlantans Choose Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery for Rhinophyma Treatment
Kalos is not a general dermatology clinic. We are a boutique facial plastic surgery practice focused solely on the face. Our team combines surgical mastery with an artistic eye, ensuring that every patient not only receives effective treatment but leaves with a result that looks natural and harmonious.
Our Atlanta-based patients benefit from:
- Highly specialized care for complex cases of rhinophyma and rosacea
- Minimally invasive techniques that reduce downtime and scarring
- Confidential, judgment-free consultations with a supportive team
- Personalized treatment plans designed to meet functional and cosmetic goals
We serve a wide area of metro Atlanta, including Sandy Springs, Decatur, Brookhaven, and beyond. With over 25,000 dermatological procedures performed annually across Georgia, it’s crucial to choose a provider with specific expertise in facial reconstructive work — and Kalos is that trusted name.
Understanding Rhinophyma: A Local Health Concern
Rhinophyma most commonly affects men over 50, and Atlanta’s warm, humid climate can exacerbate rosacea symptoms. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, approximately 16 million Americans suffer from rosacea, with a significant number experiencing severe progression without early intervention.
In the greater Atlanta area, dermatologists report increased cases of rosacea-related disorders due to climate, pollution, and stress. Kalos offers a lifeline to those whose skin conditions have resisted standard treatments.
Comprehensive Rhinophyma Treatment Options in Atlanta
At Kalos, we offer a full suite of treatment modalities tailored to the severity and structure of your rhinophyma:
- CO2 Laser Resurfacing: Targets vascular and textural changes, with minimal tissue damage.
- Scalpel Excision: Used in moderate to advanced cases, allowing precise contouring.
- Electrosurgery: Offers bloodless removal of excess tissue, improving recovery time.
- Dermabrasion: Often combined with other methods to refine results and texture.
All procedures are performed in our fully accredited surgical suite in Buckhead, with post-op care managed closely by our in-house staff. We’re known for helping patients achieve significant transformations with lower complication rates and higher patient satisfaction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Rhinophyma stems from untreated or poorly managed rosacea, especially in Subtype 3. Genetic, environmental, and vascular factors play a role.
Depending on the severity, some insurance providers consider rhinophyma treatment reconstructive and offer partial coverage. We’ll help you explore your options.
Most patients resume normal activities in 7–10 days. Our post-treatment plan includes detailed care instructions, optional follow-up laser therapy, and direct access to our care team.
We offer facial plastic surgery exclusively, meaning your care comes from a specialist who focuses solely on the anatomy and aesthetics of the face — not a generalist or part-time aesthetician.
Rhinophyma itself rarely recurs if managed properly. We collaborate with top dermatologists in Atlanta for rosacea maintenance care.
