Asked By:heknowsnose in USA, USA

I’m 35yof . A physician myself . Scared of rhino because I have bad TMJ and scared of GA and post recovery nasal packing as I can’t breathe from my mouth only as this for sure will irritate my tmj. Any advice ? Thanks ! Was wondering if doing it under IV sedation might help? Also what kinda rhinoplasty I’m a candidate of? Endonasal or open?thnx Should I consider non surgical rhino?
