Does a Doctor Put a Person to Sleep to Fix a Broken Nose Bridge?

In order to "numb" a broken nose, it only takes a few shots, but those are inside the nose. I even use sedation by an anesthesiologist for most adults. Having broken my nose and getting it fixed during Medical School, the needles do hurt. So, if your insurance covers it, go for it.

Reducing a broken nose (attempting to put the nasal bones back in place) is a painful procedure.  Either very good local anesthesia is needed or sedation to help your daughter through the procedure.

Very sorry to hear about your daughter's injury. General anesthesia can be used to fix her nose, and the best anesthesia for her will be discussed prior to surgery to ensure she is as comfortable as possible.  With nasal trauma where a closed nasal reduction is necessary, it is best to perform the procedure within 7-10 days of the initial trauma. After that window has passed, it may be necessary to wait up to six months. I hope this helps, and please let me know if there are any other questions I can answer for you!
