Is it bad if a surgeon doesn't ask for use a CT scan before revision rhinoplasty / septoplasty surgery?

Asked By:SSVeritas

I need revision rhino & septoplasty for breathing - nasal valve collapse & deviated septum - one surgeon said CT not needed & another said he always does it and used in surgery. Will I get better results by picking a surgeon that refers to CT scan when he operates? Should I be worried if surgeon doesn't use it?
