I have a deviation in my septum and a fracture in my nose bridge. All this due a car accident. I was told by a ENT that I can’t do local. I’m really worried about getting general anesthesia and I’ll like to do local. Mostly because I have a son and the recovery will be faster. I don’t want to risk myself.
Answer: Septoplasty Under Local Anesthesia Hello and thank you for your question. I’m sorry to hear about your car accident. Septoplasty procedures are generally completed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with intravenous sedation. Which options are available to you are ultimately determined by the extent of your procedure, your surgeon’s recommendation and your personal preference.

Answer: Septoplasty under local anesthesia?? The last 25 years, we have performed all septoplasty and rhinoplasty procedures under general anesthesia with a board-certified physician anesthesiologist for patient safety and comfort. Trying to perform a rhinoplasty and a septoplasty under local anesthesia is a very bad idea. It will be extremely painful, uncomfortable, and you could risk aspirating blood into your lungs.
