Will there be less swelling as opposed to general anesthesia? I am getting local anesthesia rhinoplasty this summer and I was wondering how long my face would be swollen? Like the under eyes and such.
Answer: Rhinoplasty with local anesthesia?? Attempting to perform a rhinoplasty under local anesthesia is a very bad idea since it's extremely painful, uncomfortable and impossible to endure under local anesthesia. In our practice, this type of surgery is performed in an outpatient surgery center under general anesthesia monitored by a physician anesthesiologist for patient safety and comfort.

Answer: Rhinoplasty and Anesthesia Provided that the identical type of rhinoplasty is being done under local or general anesthesia, there is no difference in the swelling or recovery. The extent of the rhinoplasty determines swelling and recovery, not the type of anesthesia used.
