Is anesthesia used when getting a broken nose reset?

Question

William Portuese, MD · Answer

In our practice, we reset all nasal bone fractures under a general anesthesia by a board-certified physician anesthesiologist for patient safety and comfort. The procedure is also performed in a licensed and certified outpatient surgery center, not in a clinic setting. There are an extensive amount of nerve endings in the nose and it is extremely painful to try to undergo this type of procedure in an office setting

Hi.  "resetting" a broken nose is typically done through a closed nasal reduction.  Some plastic surgeons do it with no anesthesia, some do it with numbing shots and cocaine topically inside the nose, some do it under sedation and some do it under full anesthesia.  It just depends on your surgeon and the severity of your fracture and the plan of the surgeon.
