I love my nose shape but I don't like my profile. It's just a little bit long and when I am talking or laughing the tip bends down. I am considering to do the surgery with local anesthesia. Will it be painful? I will need a little shaving of a bone too. I want to know if I will experience any pain? thanks

Answer: Rhinoplasty under local anesthesia The concerns you have with your nose will likely require more than just tip work. The dipping of the nose and the fact that you do not like the length will require alteration of cartilage and likely the depressor septi muscles of the nose. Surgery can be difficult and I would strongly suggest IV sedation at a minimum, for this particular rhinoplasty surgery. The money you will spend on anesthesia could be the best money you have spent in years.

Answer: There is minimal pain after Rhinoplasty Surgery. Your pain after Rhinoplasty Surgery will be minimal. Most of my patients consume only a few narcotic pain reliever tablets, and some require none. Pain after Rhinoplasty is not dependent on the extent of the procedure. Even surgeries with septal, tip, and bony work do not cause a lot of pain. I almost never use nasal packing since it is usually unnecessary, and is a cause of post-surgical discomfort.
