What specialty surgeon does Lumpectomy of Fibroadenoma & maybe Septorhinoplsty (in SoCal)?

Question

~3cm Fibroadenoma (surface near nip) grew fast w/ constant pain even off period. Dr recommended excision biopsy/lumpectomy. Good insurance (BCBS) said no referrals needed. Many Dr's list lumpectomy on procedures here, but not their websites. What kind of surgeon do I contact? Also have pain/obstructed breathing (>15yrs), constant congestion & small hump. Could 1 surgeon do lumpectomy & septorhinoplasty at same time? How long is either recovery? I'm very confused & ignorant to the process.

Dear CJGa2020,
finding the right Dr. is extremely challenging especially with the number of online platforms and resources available. There a lot of great Dr's available. Make sure he/she is a board-certified plastic surgeon. Definitely check to make sure your choice specializes in the procedure you want and spend the time to read through patient testimonials. There is a number of different sites where you can check for reviews (Realself, yelp, google, etc.).You can always pick up the phone and call around also, find an office you feel comfortable with and set up a few consultations.
