Usually is very safe: General anesthesia - being totally asleep- is commonly used for nose and sinus surgery. This is usually administered by a qualified anesthesiologist or anesthetist. You may have some throat irritation from the breathing tube but the risks are very low if you are in good health.

A common safe combo: Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (fess) and rhinoplasty are both commonly performed under general anesthesia. If you are undergoing a fess, it is a good idea to have the rhinoplasty during the same general anesthetic to save yourself procedure and recovery time. It should be noted, if you're a candidate for balloon sinuplasty and minor rhinoplasty, local anesthesia in the office may be done.

Comorbidities : Your anesthesia risk will depend on your comorbid conditions and past medical history, the procedure you will be undergoing, and your general well-being.
