General anesthesia is administered after the person’s been through the local anesthetic procedure. The patient inhales the anesthetic drug by inhaling it from a small tube or cannula.
The bridge between the holes of the nose, the nasal septum’s size is readjusted according to the determined level by the surgeon. The bone structure and cartilage underneath the skin are readjusted by the surgeon. This adjustment involves removing or adding a certain level of bones or cartilage. After all the adjustments and incisions are done, the nose skin and the tissue is placed back and all the incision are sutured by the surgeon.
