With proper : Monitoring by a qualified anesthesiologist, you should be fine. Personally, i think a light general anesthetic with a controlled airway is a little safer. Given proper patient selection in the right environment, both are good. Don't forget to request some anti-emetic medication.

Anesthesia safety: The type of anesthesia to sedate patients can vary. It is most important to protect the airway during a patient's altered consciousness. If the nasal surgery includes the risk of bleeding into the throat, general anesthesia is much safer and "twighlight" sedation poses high risks. If the approach has minimal incisions and bleeding, it is possible to safely use twighlight with caution.
