Septorhinoplasty procedure and post op - is it OK if I only see a nurse for post-op care?

RealSelfmember23566545
Hi there. I am considering getting a septorhinoplasty for my bulbous slightly deviated nose. I had a consult with a few surgeons over 6 months ago. The one I was going to schedule doesn’t want to see me again and will just book me in with a nurse pre op. I will meet the surgeon only the day of the surgery . was told they needed to use both internal and external splints , and only the nurse would see me post op at the 7 day mark. The surgeon wouldn’tsee me until 3 months post op. Is this ok
