Dr. Gerzenshtein performs rhinoplasty under general anesthesia in most cases. Less complicated nose reshaping surgery cases limited to a given nasal region may be done with a regional nerve block, and sedation in one of the Wisconsin or Wisconsin offices.

If your rhinoplasty surgery is performed under general anesthesia, then the answer is a definitive yes. Most people who receive local (and/or regional block) and intravenous sedation will also be asleep, though breathing on their own.

A surgical facility, a hospital, or in some cases a physician’s office may serve as the stage for rhinoplasty. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) 2004 data on cosmetic surgery procedures performed by members shows the following distribution: 62% - office, 21% - hospital, and 17% - ambulatory surgical facility. The Madison area is no different. Since most cases are performed under general anesthesia, Wisconsin and Wisconsin hospitals and surgical centers serve as operating facilities.
