Q. When is the right time for nostril reduction surgery? Is anesthesia very dangerous?

I am a first-year high school student.

I want to have nostril reduction surgery, and I would like to ask a few questions about it.

  1. I’m planning to have nostril reduction surgery during the winter vacation of my second year of high school. Would this be an appropriate time to do it? People around me say it might be better to have it when I’m older.. (People do get plastic surgery at a young age these days, though..)

  2. How much swelling is there after nostril reduction surgery? How long does it usually take for the swelling to go down?

  3. I’ve heard that some people underwent anesthesia for plastic surgery but never woke up afterward.. Is the probability of not waking up from anesthesia high? About what percentage would that be? Is anesthesia that dangerous? ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Please give me an answer~!

--> In the case of nose surgery, it is generally done after growth has completely stopped.

For that reason, many people usually have it after final exams in their third year of high school or during vacation.

  1. How much swelling is there after nostril reduction surgery? How long does it usually take for the swelling to go down?

--> There are several methods of nostril reduction surgery, but on average, the swelling is almost completely gone in about a week.

  1. I’ve heard that some people underwent anesthesia for plastic surgery but never woke up afterward.. Is the probability of not waking up from anesthesia high? About what percentage would that be? Is anesthesia that dangerous? ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

--> Likewise, there are several types of anesthesia: general anesthesia, sedation anesthesia, and local anesthesia.

If you are very worried about anesthesia, nostril reduction surgery can be performed under local anesthesia, so I think you do not need to worry too much.

Thank you.
