Nose Re-Surgery@rhino-redo

I need a second revision nose surgery (functional rhinoplasty). Plastic surgery clinic? ENT?

I was diagnosed with a deviated septum, inferior turbinate issues, and nasal valve issues at three hospitals. This will be my third time having surgery. During the second surgery, my septum became deviated, my nostrils show, and they even shoved AlloDerm into the left side without telling me, so the shape looks strange too. I’m planning to do it together with functional rhinoplasty, and everyone said to do it at a plastic surgery clinic. Last time I had consultations at two places; one was a large ENT hospital, but there was a lot of controversy around it, so I passed. The other plastic surgery clinic also had a lot of talk around it, so I passed too (a one-character hospital name). I’ve narrowed it down to four places now: two board-certified plastic surgeons, and two one-doctor ENT specialists. Should I do it at a plastic surgery clinic? My septum has collapsed, so one nostril barely has any airway. But if aesthetics are more important, then it should be plastic surgery, right?
