Is rhinoplasty performed under general or local anesthesia?

　　Generally, local anesthesia and general anesthesia refer to local and general anesthetic methods, while rhinoplasty refers to nose augmentation surgery. Rhinoplasty reshapes the nasal structure through surgical techniques, improving the appearance of the nose. The general reference price for rhinoplasty ranges from 5,000 to 20,000 yuan per session, with visible improvements typically appearing 4-6 months after surgery. However, symptoms such as swelling and pain may occur. Whether to choose general anesthesia or local anesthesia for rhinoplasty depends on the specific type of surgery. If the surgical area is small, local anesthesia is usually recommended; if the surgical area is extensive, general anesthesia is typically advised. Detailed explanations are as follows:

　　Procedures such as hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty and implant rhinoplasty involve small incisions and cause minimal damage to nasal soft tissues. Local anesthesia can effectively reduce pain during the procedure. Therefore, local anesthesia is usually recommended for minor surgical procedures.

　　Surgeries such as autologous rib cartilage or ear cartilage rhinoplasty involve larger incisions and may cause damage to other areas of the body; thus, general anesthesia is often more appropriate. General anesthesia ensures the patient remains pain-free and unconscious throughout the surgery, facilitating smoother surgical progress.

　　It is important to protect the nose in daily life, avoiding external impacts or pressure to maintain nasal health and aesthetics.
