Nose job is not a procedure with a definitive sequence of steps. Every individual’s surgery is customized according to the needs of the patient. The nasal bone and cartilage are augmented in several ways to achieve a desirable look.

This is usually an outpatient procedure. It requires either local anesthesia with mild sedation or general anesthesia. The doctor will discuss with you which kind of anesthesia is more suitable in your case. A local anesthesia only numbs your nasal tissues and you're not completely asleep. General anesthesia affects your entire body and makes you unconscious.

The surgery is either done through a small incision inside the nose or at the base of the nose between the nostrils. According to the need of the surgery, cartilage may be removed or added from the nose. The cartilage required can be harvested from deeper tissues of the nose or ear.
