Rhinoplasty Surgeon

As others have noted, the best way to find a good Surgeon in your area is via word of mouth. You are correct in stating that your nose will require a more in-depth procedure than a "finesse Rhinoplasty", and that septal work will most likely be required. Make sure that your Surgeon is Board Certified in either Facial Plastic Surgery or Plastic Surgery, and make sure that Rhinoplasty is a specific interest in his/her practice.
