Answer: Wow, you just don't have to worry about anesthesia. Worry much more about making a good surgical plan and picking your surgeon. Anesthesia nowadays is just incredibly safe. If you don't like your nose, the fear of anesthesia shouldn't keep you from having a rhinoplasty.Be sure to read the section in the "Learn more" link on how to stay out of trouble while searching for a rhinoplasty surgeon. Rhinoplasty is an exquisitely difficult operation to get right, and you should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills.

Answer: Anesthesia during rhinoplasty Hello and thanks for the question. The likelihood of serious complications following general anesthesia is extremely low. These risks increase slightly in patients who have other medical conditions. Nose surgery is considered a low risk procedure.

Answer: Nervous about anesthesia Airway management is an important component of all our procedures. In our OR, we utilize head positioning, oral airways, or nasal airways, as appropriate, with each case. Some patients do not need anything beyond head positioning. We judge adequacy of the airway based on directly observing the patients' breathing - again, this is my bread and butter, everyday field, and also that of my anesthetist and RNFA. We also utilize the gold standard of monitoring for adequacy of ventilation - continuous waveform capnography (CO2 monitoring). You can minimize, but not eliminate, your chances of an untoward outcome by selecting a meticulous, experienced, rhinoplasty expert. Please see the video below to learn more about the type of sedation that is used in our office.

Answer: Nervous about anesthesia during rhinoplasty In our practice, board-certified physician anesthesiologists perform general anesthesia for rhinoplasty. For safety reasons, patients are completely monitored during the anesthetic. It is extremely rare for a young healthy patient to die under general anesthesia. The procedure is also performed in a licensed and certified outpatient surgery center, not in the back room of the doctor's office
