Is Nostril Reduction Under Local Anesthesia Non-surgical?

August 10, 2009
Asked By:Sport2 in US

In my previous question, I ask whether "passing out" is needed in non-surgical nostril reduction procedure. What I meant was "non-surgical" in the sense that you are only placed under local anesthesia and then you do not pass out. Meaning, it is non-surgical as a typical surgery requires. Did you mean that regardless of the type of anesthesia used, it is still surgical as there is cutting involved despite that you are conscious and can feel no pain during the procedure? Thanks for clarifying.
