Is it possible to have a rhinoplasty without anesthesia?

Yes: A rhinoplasty can be performed under local anesthesia. It is more pleasant to have some form of sedation even if it is only by mouth.

Yes: Yes, it's possible, and i've performed it under local anesthesia, but i don't really recommend it. You can't be very heavily sedated without protecting your airway with a special tube and general anesthesia, because you may have trouble with blood going down your throat. If done awake, you need to be awake enough to clear your throat.

Yes: But the vast majority of surgeons will perform it under general anesthesia. It can be quite uncomfortable without sedation or general anesthesia.

It can be : Done with only local anesthesia, but it is easier to use general. Under local, the patient will be awake and need to be cooperative. They will remember the experience. With general, you can check out, get the work done, and wake up when your surgeon is finished.

You won't like it.: Essentially the plastic surgeon is going to break art of your nose for this operation. It is quite painful and you will want an anesthetic to get through it.

No: It would hurt too much to do a typical rhinoplasty with no anesthesia.
