Can I do a nose job under local anesthesia?

Asked By:poppoppy20 in Beverly Hills, CA

I have a HUGE fear of being put under. However, I've been told that I might need a simple septoplasty procedure to fix my breathing out of my right nostril. There is no deviated bone, just cartilage twisted to the right. If this is a simple procedure, (no hump removal, bruising, etc can I do this under local anesthesia?
