Answer: ENT doing rhinoplasty? Really? This question is rare nowadays--most experienced rhinoplasty surgeons know that the background in otolaryngology ("ENT") is actually very beneficial for performing rhinoplasty. The pathway through plastic surgery and otolarygology is not as important as the experience and skill of the surgeon. Ask about the number of years of experience, how many they do, and look at some results. You may want to speak to a few recent patients. This will be a better guide for you.I hope this helps,Best,Dr. Most

Answer: ENT or Plastic Surgeon for rhinoplasty? Hi thereRhinoplasty these days is almost a specialty in itself, so see someone who really makes rhinoplasty an important part of their practice. Training and experience are vital as it is a very demanding procedure. A nose needs to look good, function well, if anything improve with time, and be appropriate for a person's face.ENT or Plastic surgeons both do rhinoplasty well. But not all have it as a main interest. Choose on this basis.I hope this helps.
