Itâs easy to rupture the small blood vessels in your nose, especially when itâs dry out. A deviated septum, or a shifted wall in your nose, is a common cause of both symptoms. Along with headaches and nosebleeds, a deviated septum can cause blockage in one or both nostrils, facial pain, and noisy breathing during sleep.
Tumescent anesthesia is when the surgeon injects fluid containing lidocaine (which is like the medication you get injected at the dentist) and epinephrine (which is like adrenaline) which helps constrict the blood vessels.
Tumescent anesthesia is a technique commonly used in cosmetic and dermatologic procedures. It involves subcutaneous infiltration of large volumes of tumescent fluid containing lidocaine (0.05% or 0.1%), saline, and epinephrine (1:1,000,000) to produce anesthesia, swelling, and firmness of targeted areas. Maximum safe dosage is estimated to be 35-55mg/kg of lidocaine.
