Autologous rib cartilage is done under local anesthesia, right?

Has anyone here had autologous rib cartilage under local anesthesia? Since it’s done after sleep sedation anyway, I’m not asking whether that part hurts ㅜ After waking up in the recovery room and until going home, will the rib cartilage area still not hurt? Around when does the anesthesia wear off in the area that was locally anesthetized..? At ㅂㄴㄴ, they prescribe painkillers, but I don’t know yet how much medication I’ll end up taking (pain varies by personㅜ), so I’m thinking of buying extra Tylenol. I heard that if you take it before it starts hurting, you can recover without much pain.. What time intervals did everyone leave between taking meds??ㅠㅠ It’s a revision revision rhinoplasty for me, but I’ve never had surgery using autologous rib cartilage before, so I’m posting this
