“What kind of anesthesia is used for rhinoplasty?”

Rhinoplasty, in my experience, requires General Anesthesia. This is not to say, and it is likely, that your surgeon will also inject local anesthesia. General Anesthesia renders the patient unconscious and unresponsive to anything that is done to them. Can this procedure be done with sedation? Probably, but if I were having this procedure done, I would never go that route for a lot of reasons. This procedure in the hands of a good anesthesiologist, should be safely done.
