I had my last septoplasty in an ENT clinic but I'm getting a septoplasty/rhinoplasty now because of the injury I had that changed the external appearance of the nose. My question is, should I have septoplasty/rhinoplasty done in an ENT clinic? I don't get to choose the surgeon. They have a facial plastic surgeon who performs surgery in their clinic twice a year. So, I don't know if I could have a rhinoplasty done by him.
Answer: Rhinoplasty surgeon Although there are many qualified ENT surgeons who perform rhinoplasty well, you must be able to chose your surgeon. The individual who you are referring to may be an excellent surgeon and has fantastic surgical outcomes. If that is the case, check out their web site for photos, if they have one, and also photos of similar patients they have performed the surgery on. You can also ask for patient references. These are not always readily available, but, if they have performed enough rhinoplasties, they will have books of photos and plenty of happy clientele willing to share their stories.

Answer: Choose a surgeon who specializes in nasal surgery Choose a surgeon who specializes in nasal surgery. It is important to realize that not all plastic surgeons, nor all ENT surgeons, routinely perform rhinoplasty in their practices. It is imperative to find one that does. Rhinoplasty takes considerable experience and training to get predictable results. Inquire about what percentage of the doctor's practice is devoted to Rhinoplasty.

Answer: Either one can be used. See the doctors work and make sure he is experienced and does many noses per year. An ENT or facial plastic surgeon can do a good job if they are good surgeons.

Answer: Choosing a rhinoplasty surgeon The most concerning part of your question is your statement that you don't get to choose the surgeon. By this, I presume that you are at a teaching facility where a resident or fellow will be performing your procedure (at a reduced fee?)
