For reference I'd like a more feminine and I like a straight ethnic looking nose. My bulbous tip others me that's a bit longer and pointier than I'd like but I really want a natural change that is undetectable to others/family& friends. What are my options without general anesthesia? Attached are pics. I'm open to all advice and opinions. Thanks!

Answer: Options I would highly recommend against performing any type of rhinoplasty without general anesthesia. Noses are highly vascular. Sometimes you can get oozing or dripping into the back of the throat. It is best to have a secure airway and general anesthesia for your own comfort as well. I recommend finding a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Ideally, one with experience in facial aesthetic surgery.

Answer: Rhinoplasty in local or twilight anesthesia We do most of rhinoplasties in local or twilight anesthesia. The difference is septoplasty part when nose obstruction needs to be addressed. In that case we found that use of general anesthesia and intubation improves safety. Only on the basis of in person evaluation an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon can decide whether you will need general anesthesia. Hope this helps.
