Can I choose to have rhinoplasty done in a hospital instead of an office for safety reasons?

Asked By:Imaginative1840 in White Plains, NY

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?
