Does OB have the right to sit in on surgery?

Hi I have a rather simple question to ask of the Dr.s here.Is it a normal procedure or at least not out of the ordinary for an OB/GYN (or maybe any physician) to sit in on a patient's surgery even though it has nothing to do with his field of study? My OB knows I am getting breast augmentation done and he referred me to a good Plastics doc. Well my Ob suggested I come to him afterwards and he would check the Dr.'s work. Then he told me he would be there for my surgery in the room assisiting. He said he found the surgery interesting. Is this proper for an OB to sit in on such a surgery w/o any training in that field? Should I ask for him not to be there? Is this a normal happening if a doc finds a surgery interesting that they can sit in on any type of surgery they want? Thanks for any input.

Jill
