Is rhinoplasty or anesthesia dangerous? Im so scared of anesthesia that I want to cancel. (photo)

 There are risks associated with every operation and with every anesthetic. Some are serious, but these are extremely rare. It is far more dangerous to drive a car, than to get put to sleep by a board certified anesthesiologist.
Not enough information to really know what happened to the girl, so anything I say is speculation and likely to scare you further.That said, I have seen a case in my residency where the separation of the roof of the nose and the brain was disrupted by surgery of the septum and this tore one of the arteries than supply the brain and this patient woke up in a coma. There are techniques that are employed with this type of operation to prevent this from ever happening.There is a certain amount of stress that your body goes through with anesthesia and undiagnosed issues can be exposed due to this stress. If you are healthy and take good care of yourself, it is extremely unlikely that you will have any issues with the surgery or the anesthetic. Qualified doctors in certified facilities is key. Get to a point of satisfaction with your surgeon and discuss your fears. You need to be in the best state of mind you can achieve prior to your surgery. Don't let unrealistic fears block your road to happiness.

In the United States, anesthesia is very safe today when administered by a board-certified physician anesthesiologist. We also perform all of our rhinoplasty procedures in a Medicare certified and state licensed outpatient surgery center for patient safety and comfort. Anesthesia complications are very rare.
