Deviated Septum Surgery should I Go to a Plastic Surgeon?

It may sound strange but I like the way my nose looks, it just doesn't work that well, especially the right nostril. I had an E.E.N.T. doctor do this when I was 17, but the results were not very good. I'm 53 now, and haven't found the obstruction any easier to deal with. Should I go to a plastic surgeon to get surgery to have the deviated septum fixed?

Redo Rhinoplasty

There are some great answers here. I agree that both ENT (facial plastic surgeons) and plastic surgeons are well trained to handle this issue. However, what you should focus on is finding a surgeon that also has experience in redo rhinoplasties. Trying to fix a problem a second time around can lead to additional challenges. A board certified ENT or plastic surgeon is a good place to start, but make sure you find someone who has experience with redo (revision) rhinoplasties. I hope this helps!
