General anaesthesia.

It can be done under local anesthesia with general sedation or under general anesthesia.It dipends on surgeon's used technique,on clinical evaluation and on patient wish.

It can be done under local anesthesia with sedation ( i.v. sedation) or general anesthesia.

We do all types of Rhinoplasties under local anesthesia.

With Best Wishes

The nose job can be done under local or general anasthesia.However some surgeons prefer to do it under general anasthesia only especially when osteotomies or bone reshaping is required,for the simple reason that it may bleed & it is wise to secure the airway during surgery.
