Septoplasty and Balloon Sinuplasty Under Local Anesthesia - risks?

February 9, 2016
Asked By:srqfla23 in Sarasota, FL

I'm having both done (at the same time) here in the next few weeks. I've never had any type of surgery before, and I'm a little nervous about having this done under local anesthesia (and oral sedatives). I read some of the discussions on this site regarding local vs. general, and it seems the consensus is that general is the preferred. My biggest concern isn't necessarily being awake for the procedure, but rather possible risks associated. Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.
