Anesthesia is very important in rhinoplasty, and sometimes the serious risk of anesthesia is greater than the risk of the operation itself. On the operating table, the surgeon will tell the anesthesiologist that if there is a conflict between anesthesia and surgery, all surgical operations should be stopped immediately.

What role does anesthesia play in rhinoplasty? What kind of anesthesia should I use? In fact, in rhinoplasty surgery, simple prosthetic rhinoplasty usually chooses local anesthesia, but if it involves taking nasal septum and costal cartilage, it needs general anesthesia

If it is nasal synthesis, general anesthesia is usually used, because nasal synthesis needs nasal septum cartilage, auricle cartilage or costal cartilage and prosthesis to rhinoplasty. In this case, the time of comprehensive nasal surgery is longer, and the requirements for drug efficacy are higher. Compared with the disadvantages of local anesthesia, it has higher comfort and better safety.

In addition, comprehensive nasal surgery under general anesthesia can seal the eyes and mouth, which can effectively avoid the occurrence of tears in eyes and foreign body saliva in the mouth.
