Afraid of the aftermath of rhinoplasty surgery - anesthesia effects?

June 17, 2015
Asked By:Justlooking1376 in Manhattan, NY

Hello, I've never had any kind of surgery or anything really but I am seriously thinking of rhinoplasty. I wanted to know if when I wake up from surgery if I will be saying crazy things and acting loopy - will I know and be aware that I just had surgery - what does it feel like? My fathers side of the family has a history of delirium after surgery. They wake up and act crazy, loopy and say outlandish things. Will this happen to me?
