Having surgery today on my nose that was broken 12 days ago.. I had the stitches removed 4 days ago. But my doctor going put me sleep and use his hands to push the bones back in place. Just lil scared of being put to sleep but don't want to feel the pain either thank you.
Answer: Anesthesiologists present decreases the risk Generally speaking, a nasal reduction is a fast procedure, and you won't be asleep to long if it goes well.I perform these kinds of procedures with the anesthesiologist administering the anesthesia and present for any airway issues, such as bleeding from the nasal fractures into the airway. I feel with the anesthesiologist there, the risks are minimal from being put to sleep.good luck

Answer: Yes, safe - especially with an anesthesiologist present While there are some stories of a displaced nose being "straightened" or reset (actually the term is reduced) in the ER or even on the football field, generally it is a much better idea to have this done under light general anesthesia (or at least local anesthesia with sedation), in that it can be approached more accurately, and with some otherwise-unpleasant appropriate instrumentation. Also definitely a good idea to have this performed within 2 weeks of the trauma when possible, before tissues/bones set in an undesired position (but if later in that window, it will almost definitely require more manipulation, and therefore more measures to minimize potential pain . . . )

Answer: Nasal fracture Yes, closed reduction of a nasal fracture (what you've described) is commonly done under anesthesia. This is very safe with an anesthesiologist and is more comfortable for the patients going through.

Answer: Nasal fracture Anaesthesia is very safe if your general health is good. The risks of anaesthetic problems for fixing nasal fractures under anaesthesia is very small. Most patients prefer general anaesthesia for fixing fractured noses. Hope this is helpful.

Answer: Closed Reduction of Nasal Bone Fracture under anesthesia It is a very common practice to have a general anesthesia within 21 days of a nasal fracture to reduce the nasal bone to the correct anatomical position. The procedure is called a closed reduction of nasal bone fracture with external stabilization and is safe provided that you are healthy enough to have a safe general anesthetic. I recommend speaking with your surgeon and anesthesiologist to alleviate your fears about your anesthesia in your particular case. Your doctor can obtain a far better result for you, with much less pain and discomfort, if you are asleep for this procedure. I hope this answer helps.
