Is it possible I can go under local anesthesia to get a rhinoplasty? (Photo)

Yes, rhinoplasty can be done under local anesthesia. I do all my alarplasties under local anesthesia with mild oral sedation.
Fixing the wide nasal bridge can also be done but can be uncomfortable at times since the nasal bones need to be broken.
It is important to discuss these options in detail with your surgeon to make sure they are used to performing a rhinoplasty under anesthesia. It is not easy to do and not everyone is trained to perform it.

Since someone's nose is part of the airway, there is naturally bleeding that will go from the nose into the throat. General anesthetic, by definition, is marked by a breathing tube in the trachea which prevents blood from entering the lungs. Since general anesthetic protects somebody's Airway from aspiration pneumonia, this is the only anesthetic that we offer for a complex rhinoplasty procedure including osteotomies. Thank you for your question! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

If you want the bridge narrowed then the nasal bone must be broken and this cannot be done under local anesthesia, it will have to be done under general anesthesia.
