Should a Rhinoplasty or Septoplasty Surgeon Also Be an ENT Doctor?

melaschel
My daughter wants to have Rhinoplasty and found a board certified plastic surgeon that she wants to use. However, her ENT said that she is better off going to a doctor who is both an ENT and a plastic surgeon so that he can better address both her issues. I am concerned that, although this plastic surgeon has a great eye and hand in being able to give my daughter a great nose, he may not be able to perform Septoplasty in the same way as an ENT can. Is this true?
