Deviated septum: Generally all plastic and ENT (otorhinolaryngologists) who are properly trained in rhinoplasty will handle deviated septums fine. Deviated septums by itself are handled more by ent.

ENT: A facial plastic surgeon with an ENT background or an ENT with rhinoplasty experience is the best to treat both appearance and function of the nose.

Plastic Surgeon: Rhinoplasty has been practiced and taught by plastic surgeons for decades. The aesthetic challenges of rhinoplasty extend far and above the deviated septum. Both ents that practice facial plastics and regular plastic surgeons can offer corrections of both the deviated septum and correct the aesthetic appearance of the nose. Just go to sometime who has a long experience with rhinoplasty.

Septorhinoplasty: septoplasty is performed in the context of rhinoplasty very often. Discuss these issues with your surgeon and be sure your surgeon is a board certified facial plastic surgeon with expertise in these procedures.

Septum vs nose job: The septum is the internals structure of your nose that separates the right from the left side. A deviated septum doesn't necessarily involve external deformity. Therefore some septoplasty procedures can be performed without technically performing a rhinoplasty. However both will commonly be performed together or if a severe enough septal deformity produces external deviation
