Both my parents are doctors and my mom said it's probably safer to do surgery in a hospital. I had general anesthesia through IV in an office already. I booked 2 consultations, one with a surgeon who mainly operates in his office but has hospital priviliges at a hospital where he was head of plastic surgery while the only performs minor procedures in his office and operates in 3 different hospitals (he is currently the head of plastic surgery at WP hospital. Is it really safer in a hospital?

Answer: Hospitals are proven less safe Your parents may be doctors, but they are incorrect. Very good data spanning many years show that hospitals are the LEAST safe option for elective plastic surgery. The safest place to have surgery is in an accredited office based operating room. The next safest place is an accredited ambulatory surgery center. Pick the right surgeon and they’ll do it in the right place.

Answer: Rhinoplasty at hospital You can have your surgery at the hospital but expect to pay a lot more than in a surgicenter. Also the surgeon may decline to perform it in the hospital for a variety of reasons, including scheduling, working with personnel and equipment he or she usually doesn’t use, inconvenience and overall hassle. I perform my rhinoplasties in an office surgicenter. If a patient wanted to have a rhinoplasty done in the hospital and was adamant I would tell her to go elsewhere.
