Procedures I'm known for

Rhinoplasty surgery is an extremely complex procedure that can be greatly transformative. I love the beautiful moment patients experience when they see their new nose for the very first time. I use a closed rhinoplasty technique, which means all incisions are hidden in the nostrils. This method eliminates the need for painful packing to be placed inside the nose and avoids visible scarring after healing. My approach to this surgery is time-tested and honed by having done thousands of rhinoplasties over more than 30 years in private practice. In addition to prioritizing patient outcome and comfort, safety is of the utmost importance to me. For example, each rhinoplasty patient is placed under general anesthesia that’s administered by a board-certified physician anesthesiologist from Swedish Hospital. My staff and I at my Seattle and Portland practices are fully invested in our patients’ recovery and are always available.

I think of a facelift as a face and neck lift because the procedure rejuvenates both in combination. It tightens loose skin and muscles on the face and neck, lifts the jowls, and removes fatty deposits in the neck. I’m passionate about this procedure because I have seen the happiness it brings to patients when they’re able to “look as young as they feel.” The approach I take to a facelift is to place incisions both in front of and behind the ear; I do this in an inconspicuous fashion that will be minimally detectable after healing has occurred. Placing incisions this way doesn’t raise the hairline, either, avoiding the “windblown” effect. Safety is of the utmost importance to me, as is patient comfort. I invite you to schedule a personalized consultation to begin your facial rejuvenation journey.
