Hi, I just wanted to know did Dr. Bellin tell you that he will be doing your rhinoplasty procedure under local anesthesia with deep intravenous sedation?
In other words, did he tell you that he will not put you under general anesthesia for your rhinoplasty procedure? Depending on your answer, I will reply and explain as to why I have asked you this question.

Second: Will he be breaking your nose bones?

Okay reply asap. please thanks

Dear Annointed,

Yes, he did say he will be doing my procedure under local anesthesia. He said that he does not like General b/c he has had complications with that.

Will he be breaking my nose? Yes. He will be breaking my nose to move the nasal bones closer and doing a alar base reduction.

My surgery is scheduled for the 2-Apr-04. Please let me know if there is anything I need to know before I proceed.

Thanks.
