Can I fix my hanging columella under local anesthesia? (photos)

In appropriate candidates, a hanging columella and nostril reduction could be performed under local anesthesia. There is still recovery and down time even when procedures are done under local.

Hello,
Thank you for your question. Most rhinoplasty procedures can't be done under local, but something like this may be possible. You would have to be seen in person for an exam to come up with a definitive plan. This can be done using the closed / scarless approach. I wish you all the best.

Can you fix a hanging Columella under local anesthesia? It is possible to lift a hanging columella under local anesthesia, but this would require several shots of local which would be somewhat painful depending on the patient’s pain tolerance. Minor degrees of nostril asymmetry are common and or not easy to fix and sometimes not possible to fix
