| Popis: | Prior to anticipated nasal surgery, the nasal and facial skin should be examined for any vascular lesions. The skin type should be ascertained. A history of any prior nasal surgery, particularly on the nasal dorsum, should be noted. If rosacea is a clinical possibility, a trial of 1.5 to 2.0 gm q.d. of tetracycline for 6 to 8 weeks is warranted. If, after rhinoplasty, a diffuse "redness" on the nasal dorsum results and one can exclude other diagnoses, then argon laser therapy should be considered. A 3-mm punch biopsy should be obtained to see whether superficial ectatic vessels are present, a finding that would be indicative of a good result from laser therapy. |
