What are the chances you can die from a rhinoplasty and septoplasty?

First off, while I think any reasonable person would have the same concerns you do if it is the primary concern and you have a lot of anxiety you need to get those things under control before you ever venture into surgery of any kind.  Not feeling confident about what you're about to do end not clearly understanding the risks and benefits is a bad thing.If you are largely worried about the worst possible outcomes such as death or a"botched" surgery you should not be having surgery.All that being said the odds of you dying during surgery are very very low in a young healthy person. They're also relatively low an older unhealthy people.Chase Lay, MD

First of all, it is very important to get your anxiety under control with therapy and medical management before electing to undergo a cosmetic surgery procedure.  Your question is very difficult answer since they are so much variability in the way rhinoplasty is being performed.  In some practices,  the surgeon performs their own anesthesia in addition  performing the surgery, so therefore the risks will be much higher.  In our practice,  we perform all rhinoplastys under general anesthesia as an outpatient surgical procedure.  A board certified physician anesthesiologist performs all of the anesthesia in our Medicare Certified and Washington State licensed outpatient surgery Center. This allows for maximum patient safety and comfort.  Anesthesia administered by a board certified physician anesthesiologist is extremely safe today.
