Possible to Have Rhinoplasty While Patient is Awake?

June 3, 2010
Asked By:DueDiligence518 in New Jersey

The thing holding me back is apprehension about anesthesia. I'm terrified to be intubated, and twilight carries its own risks. I read that certain (but few) docs will use local anestesia w/ valium. Are there any NY/NJ area docs that are comfortable with this? I have decent pain tolerance... Thanks.
