I found the surgeon I wish to use for my rhinoplasty. The only problem I have is that he uses twilight sedation for his rhino procedures. I'm terrified and was hoping to be put out for this procedure. Should I look for a different surgeon or is this form of sedation nothing to be worried about? Even though they say I won't remember anything, does this mean I won't feel or experience the surgery?! I'm very anxious about this, though I have confidence in the surgeon and like his results. Help!!!

Answer: Anesthesia for rhinoplasty Different surgeons will use different types of anesthesia for rhinoplasty, but all good surgeons have the safety and comfort of their patient in mind. what you have not set is whether or not you discussed the concern with your surgeon and his staff to see what their experiences with patient's likely. In our practice, we perform all manner of operations under sedation/twighlight, and in the hands of a good experience board-certified anesthesiologist, twilight anesthesia is not only safe, but also less likely to cause complications such as nausea and vomiting.

Particularly if you are having osteotomies performed, I personally believe general anesthesia is better. However, I am sure there are many surgeons who do this procedure with twilight sedation and have great results. The
