In my research, I've seen that while certain surgeons provide the choice of IV sedation during rhinoplasty as well as general anesthesia, other surgeons only offer general anesthesia. I am curious as to why this is the case? Personally, I am inclined towards IV sedation as my preferred option to address my dorsal hump (and I guess my drooping tip). Would this be possible for me and could you shed some light on whether one option holds advantages over the other?
