Traditionally, rhinoplasty—a treatment that modifies the anatomy or function of the nose—is carried out under general anesthesia. Nonetheless, local anesthesia is becoming more and more well-liked as a substitute because to its advantages, which include lower risks, fewer systemic side effects, and faster recovery periods. By keeping the patient awake and effectively reducing pain, local anesthesia enables real-time communication between the patient and the surgeon, facilitating accurate results and patient preferences. Additionally, this method can cut the length of the procedure and decrease postoperative problems. This case study focuses on the technical aspects, the patient's experience, and the results of a rhinoplasty carried out under local anesthesia.
In this case series, we hope to encourage the expanding use of local anesthesia in rhinoplasty, enhancing patient happiness and safety while providing useful.
