Rhinoplasty under Local Anesthesia without Nasal Packing

In this approach, rhinoplasty is performed with the nasal area numbed by local anesthesia. "Without nasal packing" means that no packing is placed inside the nose at the end of the operation. Whether the approach is suitable is decided during examination, based on the structure of the nose and the planned procedure.

Who is it for?

People who are considering rhinoplasty and are found suitable for this approach after examination. Not every nose or every procedure is suitable for local anesthesia; the decision is made after the examination.

How does the process work?

  1. Your expectations are discussed, the nose is examined inside and out, and a nasal analysis is made using photographs.

  2. You are informed about whether the approach is suitable for you, about local anesthesia and about preparation.

  3. Follow-up examinations are planned after the operation.

Duration and recovery

The length of the procedure and the recovery period vary from person to person. This is discussed with you during your examination.

The information on this page is for general guidance only. Decisions on diagnosis and treatment are made only after an examination.
