Revision Rhinoplasty: Q&A

Need Revision Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty?
What questions should I be asking the surgeon to feel that the doctor truly has expertise in revision rhinoplasty? I don't want to offend the doctor but I also don't want another awful nose job especially since I now need to get my deviated septum fixed. Any excellent surgeons in Columbus, Ohio or any other close states?
