Depends: Head and neck surgeons are limited anatomically, to treating issues in the head & neck. Plastic surgeons treat issues all over the body. So, it depends on your problem. Certain surgeons will have certain subspecialties - like rhinoplasty or cancer treatments. Both fields do excellent work, but approach it from different training & backgrounds.
