Does it depend on the surgeons preference if to choose to use local anesthesia? This will be a revision rhinoplasty. My nose bridge feels lumpy. I'm 7 months post op. I will havemy nostrils worked on with local anesthesia. I wonder if the same can be used on my nose bridge. There is no need to break it again (I think)

Answer: Local OK if you're OK Yes - I do this regularly if the problem is indeed just a localized bone issue and if you are comfortable with this idea. Even if the nose needs to be "broken" again (what we call osteotomies) it can be done with local anesthesia right in the office which can save you time and money.At our office in Boston we routinely do these kinds of procedures and I've never had anyone who feels it was too difficult.

Answer: Rhinoplasty under local anesthesia? The nose has an extensive amount of nerve endings in it, and it is very difficult And painful to get the entire nose numb to perform rhinoplasty. in our practicew e perform all rhinoplasty procedures, even touchups, under general anesthesia by a board-certified physician anesthesiologist for patient safety and comfort. it is also important to have a controlled airway in place to prevent blood from being aspirated in the lungs.
