Information on nose surgery anesthesia methods, explained in detail

Have you ever felt unsure about nose surgery?
Even if you only knew the basics,
it is probably better to understand it clearly at least once, right?
So today, let’s take a look at nose surgery!


When performing nose surgery, safety is considered the top priority, and the appropriate method is used after obtaining the patient’s consent.
For example, if the patient is not afraid of needles, the safest local anesthesia is performed.


In the case of nose bone osteotomy for narrowing a wide nasal bone, general anesthesia is used.
Since the patient’s head must not move, general anesthesia is used more often than sedation anesthesia, so please keep that in mind.
For nose surgery using ear cartilage, sedation anesthesia is used. While in a sleep state,
cartilage is harvested from inside the ear and transplanted to the tip of the nose, which takes about one hour.
Depending on the patient, some may move or talk in their sleep, so a nurse at the side has to hold the patient still.
For a simple augmentation rhinoplasty that places silicone into a low nose, the best anesthesia method is local anesthesia.
It involves brief pain during anesthesia, but it is the safest among the anesthesia methods and is therefore often used.
Also, when having nose surgery under local anesthesia, injections are administered both inside and outside the nose.
The inside is anesthetized to numb the cartilage area, and the outside is injected to numb the bridge of the nose and the area between the eyebrows.



Shall we take a look at nose surgery time from A to Z?


Augmentation rhinoplasty that raises a low nose using implants such as silicone tends to have a short surgery time.
In general, the entire operation is completed within one hour, so it is a relatively simple procedure.
Rhinoplasty using fillers also takes very little time.
It takes only about 10 to 20 minutes, and daily life is possible immediately afterward, so busy people prefer it.
However, when nose surgery is performed using rib cartilage, the procedure tends to take longer.
Since rib cartilage must be harvested from the ribs, it takes about three hours.
Also, a hump nose often requires osteotomy to shave the nasal bone.
Therefore, surgery time is about two hours, which is longer than for general nose surgery.
And in the case of revision nose surgery, it takes more time than the first surgery.
Since the existing implants and inflammation must be removed, it often takes about two hours.
