Awake during open rhinoplasty (cartilage/tip only)?
desertrose99Jun 30, 2016
6 years ago I had rhinoplasty, but I'm not satisfied with the tip of my nose. I went for a revision consultation today, and the surgeon told me that he could probably perform the surgery in his office, in about an hour, if I were willing to do it awake under local anesthesia only. I trust my doctor but the idea of being fully awake nauseates me. Is it as simple as he is making it sound?
