Do I Need a Maxillofacial Surgeon for Orthognathic Surgery?

curious88
I'm considering getting orthognathic surgery in the future and one of the surgeons I'm considering is a craniofacial surgeon and a plastic surgeon, but not an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Do you think it would be wise to choose a doctor for this surgery who is not a maxfax? I ask because although this surgeon isn't a maxfax, he has extensive experience with this procedure and has produced excellent results. Thanks!
