All anesthesia has risk. No matter local or general.You sister needs to go to preop evuation with anesthesia.ok
Yes. Go to Google. Type in risks of anesthesia for nose jobs. They will provide a novel's worth of information.
It will be safe to have a "nose job" under anesthesia as long as a legitimately trained anesthesia team is in charge and present. This means an anesthesiologist with or without a certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA) or anesthesiologist's assistant (AA).


This anesthesia care team (ACT), along with advances in monitoring and better pharmaceuticals, has made anesthesia safer in recent years.


Good luck!!
Everything carries certain risks, it depends on type of surgery and health issues of the individual. Common side effects are headaches, aches and pains, and sore throat. Rare chances of injuries to teeth, tongue, throat, and lungs. Most healthy people do well with anesthetic and go home the same day.
Yes, there are risks. I am going to assume your sister is in her twenties or early thirties and her procedure is elective and cosmetic. Under these circumstances, general anesthesia (including total intravenous anesthesia with propofol) is extremely safe. A risk of dying under general anesthesia is anywhere from 1:12,000 to 50,000, so statistically, very, very rare. Meaning she is safer under general anesthesia with a competent surgeon and anesthesiologist than when you drive her in for her procedure. I would provide total intravenous anesthesia for your sister. I would infuse propofol via intravenous pump. Why? Because I get better hemodynamics thus reducing bleeding and bruising. The surgeon needs a fairly dry surgical field (meaning less bleeding). Your sister will do fantastic and she will be safe!
