Anesthesia for Rhinoplasty
The time for rhinoplasty surgery varies depending on what is done for each individual patient. Don't be concerned about the length of anesthesia. With this operation, there is no added risk if anesthesia takes a little longer.

Varies with complexity of the rhinoplasty
The length of a rhinoplasty varies with the approach (endonasal versus external) and the complexity of the procedure. An average time would be 11/2 to 21/2 hours, but can range from less than 1 hour to about 5-6 hours for complex cases such as saddle nose and tertiary reconstructions requiring cartilage grafting, etc. Your surgeon can give you a good estimate at the time of your consultation.

Rhinoplasty Surgery Time
It all depends on what needs to be done and how much grafting needs to take place. Also if you have breathing issues that will add time to the surgery. So difficult to say but it can be anywhere from 1 hour to 3-4 hours in time.

Length of time for rhinoplasty (nose job)
This depends on the complexity of the procedure. For a simple hump rasping, you may not even need to be "out" and it could take under 45 minutes. However, if it is complex it could take up to 4 hours.

How long is rhinoplasty surgery
The actual surgery time can vary from surgeon to surgeon based upon the complexity. This can be 45 minutes to 2-3 hours. Recovery usually requires about a week with a nasal splint, and about 2 weeks with bruising.

Rhinoplasty, How Long Are You Under Anesthesia?
Hi Gerkil,
It depends on the complexity of the work, the skill of the physician, the teamwork of the operating room staff including the anesthesiologist, unexpected problems, and what time the surgeon's golf tee time is (just kidding about the golf time).
Most experienced rhinoplasty surgeons will be able to examine your nose and then give you an estimate of the amount of time surgery will take. It usually is somewhere between 1 to 3 hours with 2-2.5 hours most commonly.

Rhinoplasty recovery
This all depends as to what you are actually getting done. A simple reduction in the "hump" on the bridge of your nose is an easy recovery, about 4-5 days. However, a full rhinoplasty with narrowing of the nose and major tip work requires 2 weeks of no work or exercise. Good luck!

Surgical Length of Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty takes about 2 hours to perform. However, there are certain cases that can take less or more time. This is based on the complexity of the case. Also, keep in mind each surgeon has a different operative tempo.

The average time for rhinoplasty is an hour and one half
Rhinoplasty is often completed under a general anesthesia, though a sedation technique also works quite well for some patients. Anesthesia or sedation does require some time and preparation in its own right and though a average nasal shaping will take perhaps an hour and half, the time a patient is 'out' is approximately two hours. The time of the operation can of course vary, however after an hour and half or so swelling can begin to take hold and we feel it is best to have the nose set...

Rhinoplasty takes about 2hours
The procedure of rhinoplasty takes about 2 to 3 hours and during that time you are under anesthesia.
That is the average. Some surgeries can take more or less time depending on the complexity or ease of each individual case.

Depends on what you mean about being "out"
You will be unaware of what we are doing for up to three hours depending on the complexity of the case but in my practice you will not be completely "out". Many of us have our anesthetists give intravenous sedation, but stop short of a general anesthetic where you are paralyzed and have a machine breathing for you. There are several important and obvious advantages to using this type of anesthesia.

Depends
Hi,
Some Rhinoplasties can be done in 20 minutes and others will take 4 hours or more. It depends on your nose, whats being done and your surgeon's technique. On average the surgery lasts about 2 hours, more or less.
