General anesthesia is generally used for a nose job. This type of anesthesia allows the procedure to be performed very safely because this method of anesthesia prevents blood and mucus from entering the airway. General anesthesia also allows the patient to be fully asleep so there is no concern for being aware of their surroundings, feeling discomfort, or remembering their surgery. All anesthesia is performed in a fully accredited outpatient surgery center by board certified anesthesiologists and anesthetists.
