Do you get put to sleep for a nose job?

Yes, it is best to put you to sleep, called General Anesthesia, and while you are asleep, to insert a tube via your mouth into your airway called endotracheal intubation. This is to protect your airway, and help you breathe while the operation on your nose is in progress. There is no pain under General Anesthesia, and your breathing , blood pressure, pulse rate (heart rate), body temperature, oxygenation (pulse oximetry), and ventilation ( carbon dioxide concentration ) will be continuously monitored and recorded while the surgery is in progress.
After completion of the surgery, the general anesthetic will be turned off, and as you are about to wake up, the endotracheal tube will be removed, and you will continue your normal breathing thereafter. Your Anesthesiologist or Nurse Anesthetist will be with you during the surgical procedure, and will accompany you to the Recovery Room to make sure you are breathing well, and awake enough in the Recovery Room.
With best wishes.
