Rhinoplasty anxiety
It is normal to feel anxious before any surgery, especially one that will affect your appearance. I tell my patients that as long as I am not nervous, then they can rest assured I will do the best that I can for them! I see my patients again prior to surgery for more reasssurance if necessary.

Anxiety about upcoming rhinoplasty
If you are having that much anxiety over the rhinoplasty surgery and your surgeon, it is probably best to hold off for now until you feel comfortable with both the procedure and your surgeon. If you decide to proceed with that, 1 mg of lorazepam can be given the night before surgery to relax your anxiety.

Pre-Operative Rhinoplasty Anxiety
It's completely normal and expected to have a certain degree of anxiety or apprehension before any surgery, especially cosmetic surgery. A good treatment for this anxiety is education and to become more familiar with the preparation for surgery, day of surgery, and expected postop recovery. In addition, share any concerns you have with your rhinoplasty plastic surgeon. He/She may be able to also provide some medication, if necessary, to calm the nerves.

Pre-op rhinoplasty anxiety
Call your surgeon to discuss this issue. I see this very frequently in my practice and I find a in detail visit prior to the operation alleviates this anxiety.

Managing Pre-Surgery Anxiety
It is quite normal to have the jitters before surgery. Everybody has them. But it should not reach the point where you doubt your surgeon. If this is the case, you may wish to meet with him again before the operation and share your anxiety with him. No surgeon likes operating on a patient who doubts his/her abilities.
