I've always been insecure about the bump on my nose and I want to get a nose job but I'm afraid of having anesthesia. Is it possible to have it done with only local anesthesia? Thanks.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Under Local Anesthesia Fixing the nasal hump is easy but during the procedure there can be bleeding which trickles down the throat and can also go in the wind pipe and lungs. That can lead to pneumonia which can be fatal. It is a lot safer to have an endotracheal tube to protect your windpipe against any blood or secretions going into the lungs.

Answer: Yes it is if properly done. That is the way we did did almost all noses 35 years ago. There are many doctors who still so them that way. It is more of a mental problem for some patients and that is we do most noses under some form of sedation or general anesthesia.
