Bellevue Rhinoplasty Doctors and Reviews

“Cast off tomorrow! - Seattle, WA”

I've hated my nose since I can remember and everyone always telling me I look exactly like my dad doesn't help. I've been made fun of a lot and I'm glad to finally be getting it fixed. I can't imagine what it'll feel like to have one less (really important) thing making me feel self conscious! It's going to be a relief! I'm 20 and I've been researching rhinoplasty like crazy for a couple years... more

“It Sure Was Worth It! - Bellevue, WA”

The only difficulties I had post surgery were breathing issues, which I was not expecting. For a few days there was no air flow through my nostrils. Dr. Naficy and his staff have done a wonderful job! I have been contemplating this surgery for almost 10 years and could not be happier with Dr. Naficy's work and his staff. Everyone is kind, thoughtful, compassionate and reassuring. They... more

“Rhinoplasty and Chin Implant Was an...”

There is nothing bad to say about my experience. From the very beginning I was lucky enough to receive the greatest service ever. From the treatment at my pre op appointment to the care in the operation room to the post op appointment 6 months later, everything was perfect. It was virtually painless and has honestly changed my life. I feel confident and excited every time I walk out the door.... more

“One month since surgery”

I'm going to keep this nice and short and post before and after pictures each week so you can see the progress. I'm a male and it was always hard for me to find blogs regarding male rhinoplasty so I thought Id make one following my journey. I am scheduled for surgery January 7th, 2013. I've always disliked my nose. The sides are slightly deviated the tip is much too round and overall... more

“I Finally Have the Nose I've Always...”

I wanted my bump gone and the tip not to droop. Post-op, I barely bruised(no bruising by day 6) and the recovery was so easy! I did have a bit of lingering swelling, but it's now been just over 4 months and my nose is so cute! I have that gentle little slope on my profile that I thought I could never have. My hubby says I was beautiful before(he was not really on board with my decision to do... more

“Great Experience! - Seattle, WA”

Being 17 and a Junior in High School, I was scared of what people may think of my getting the procedure, but I am so glad that I did! It looks so natural that no one has said anything, although I know they have noticed a huge difference in my appearance! I had a rather large bump in the bridge, my nose was slightly crooked, and the skin between my nostrils hung far too low, showing far too... more

“Nearly Flawless Experience! -...”

First off, I want to clarify that I also got a chin implant at the same time as the rhinoplasty. In writing this review, I am 1 week away from it being 3 months since my procedure. I was told by Dr. Portuese that it would be about 3 months before I would truly begin to have an idea of what my end result will look like. I have been self conscious about my profile since a young teenager and... more

Ill update more as I go along! day 1 was soo easy, a little more swollen today but no pain. Staff is so wonderful i cant say enoughso its day 5 if... more

“Great Staff and Great Follow Up -...”

My recovery took about four days (including the day of surgery) during which I felt very out of it and slept a lot, but was not painful. After that, I was able to move around, though of course, the splint has to be kept on for a week, and there was still swelling, but no pain or problems. Follow up has been great. I'm really completely, 100% happy with my experience. Thanks! more

“Rhinoplasty - Seattle, WA”

I had a rhinoplasty for functional and aesthetic reasons. My nose was wide with a fuller tip. The bridge of my nose was deformed and had to be built up with cartilage. Dr. Lamperti is a VERY skilled surgeon! My nose is beautiful and natural looking. I had very little pain, brusing, and swelling. I am only 2 months out and I love the way my nose looks. My new nose fits my face I coudnt be... more

“Surgery is Booked for May 3 - I Have...”

I am nearly 23, and I have absolutely hated my nose since I was 13. It is something that I think about daily so I am excited to finally start feeling better about myself. So I am less than 3 weeks away from my surgery. I am getting so anxious - now that I know it's finally happening, I just want to get it done now. I think about it every single day!!!!!My surgery is only 2 days... more

“Rhinoplasty: A Long Time Coming... -...”

Well lets see, I am 40 years old and as birthday present to myself, I have decided to get my nose reshaped. Since the age 15 I have had a love hate relationship with my nose. I hated it when I was younger, being tall slim and having what I consider at big nose, feeling very awkward. I couldn't afford to do it then on my own and my parents didn't support the idea. My first husband said... more

“Everytime I Look Inthe Mirror, I Am...”

I had a hanging columella making my nose look very pointy and resulting in a constant runny nose due to the epithelium being exposed. more

“Wonderful Experience with an Amazing...”

After a small fracture, I was left dissatisfied with the way my nose looked. He made it fit perfectly on my face in the most natural and beautiful way. The surgery and recovery took under an hour and I was on the road home. I was in minimal pain, and after 7-10 days I was in public, free of bruising and swelling.  Overall, the procedure went flawlessly. But, most importantly, my nose... more

“Rhinoplasty with Dr.Lamperti -...”

Aesthetic & functional reasons I'm at day 8 of recovery, & completely pleased with the results of both procedures, as well as pleasantly surprised by the speed of my recovery, & the relative obscurity of my scars. I believe this is in large part due to his adept hand in surgery. Sculpting a nose requires considerable artistry (which I now appreciate); his unique focus on... more

“Great Job, I Couldn't Be Happier -...”

My nose was crooked from the front and I had a dorsal hump. It wasn't going away! and it was only going to become more pronounced as I became older. I am happy I decided to do it and I wish I had done it years ago. I am very happy with the results three months down the road. I had a lot of bruising which took almost three weeks to subside but the swelling receded and after about 8 days... more

“Amazing!!! - Seattle, WA”

I can breathe better and am more confident about the way I look!! Not a single con! more

“Weir Nostril Excision - Seattle, WA”

Hi, I had a Rhinoplasty done in February, 2011, the following was done: -Tip rotated upward -Small hump on bridge of nose shaved down -Bulbous Tip refined/reduced -Sill excision to narrow nostrils I made it very clear to my Doctor that reducing my nostril flare was one of my main concerns. My Doctor stated that a Sill excision would accomplish this and bring in my nostril flare... more

“Not Happy - Bellevue”

It has been several years since the rhinoplasty was done and I'm very unhappy with the results. If I could go back I would. Initially the nose looked good but as the swelling dissipated with time, the imperfections came to light. more

“My New Nose is my Favorite Thing...”

Every time I looked in the mirror I dwelled on my profile view...my nose. The hump, the length. Yeah, I was "pretty",and ALL of my friends said that I didnt need a nose job, that it was "me" and I wouldn't look right; but it was about me and my own issues with the nose. Looked like my dad's man nose on my girl face. Just out of place. I finally maxed out a credit... more

“Happy Rhinoplasty - Seattle”

Had the "family" bump on my nose and wanted to get this done for years. I'm wear my glasses more becuase I feel like my nose is nice and straight now. It's been about 10 years and every day I'm glad I did it. more

“Happy but with Caveats (with video)...”

Several years ago, in my late twenties, I decided to get rhinoplasty. I had a huge nose that didn't fit my face at all. As I was having my consultation, I found out that I also had a very deviated septum. A large bone spur was pushing my nose to the left. The surgery went fine. Recovery sucked. I was very nauseated the first night, but did not throw up, thank God. I had packing, which... more

“Great Dr. for All Your Plastic...”

It's been 2 weeks since my rhinoplasty with Dr. S and even though my nose is still a little swollen I love my results and couldnt have asked for anything better! Their couldnt have been a better doctor to perform my rhinoplasty, he was wonderful! From the beginning of my rhinoplasty journey I felt very comfortable with Dr. S, he always made sure all my questions were answered. A friend... more

“Great Rhinoplasty Experience and Results”

I decided to have a rhinoplasty procedure to refine the tip and dorsal hump. The day of surgery was the most uncomfortable because there is packing in the nose which is taken out the next day. There was mild pain which could be compared to pressure vs. sharp pain. Once the packing came out I felt much better and could breathe better. I had bruising around one eye that started to dissipate... more

“Crooked Nose Still Crooked After...”

I am 3 weeks post-op after having rhinoplasty to correct my previously broken and crooked nose. Immediately after getting my splint off the left bridge sticks out (like it did before)and accentuates the crooked appearance of the tip which still leans right (albeit much less than it did before). The bump on the bridge feels hard and doesn't appear to be going down in swelling and I am concerned... more

“Revision Rhinoplasty, Scar Tissue...”

I spent around $4,000 for the first procedure The doctor at the time told me that revision surgery would only cost me the price of the facility and anesthesia, and he does not charge for revision surgery. He knew I was not satisfied with the results it left my nose looking worse, I decided to wait and see if after some time and healing would appear later, when I decided I wanted revision... more

“Not Worth It - Hate my Nostrils Showing”

I had rhinoplasty several months ago. I am not happy with the results because too much nostril is showing and I had NO nostrils showing prior to surgery. This was a huge mistake and I wish I never had the surgery.Do I need a revision and how is it done? more

“Best Nose Ever - Bellevue, WA”

I didn't have a big nose problem my changes were merely for me, I am soooo pleased with my profile and the fact that no one knows that meets me any different.  I look amazing and natural.  I've sent all my friends to visit with my Dr. and two have already had surgery on their noses, they are just as happy as I am. I have learned that Dr. Rand no longer performs this... more

“Rhinopplasty or Nose Job”

I have always hated my nose, the size is too big for my face and the tip shape is round. Now don't get me wrong my nose was not huge or unsightly, it could be smaller, more feminine, and refinded. Plus, I had a bad deviated septum from playing basketball in highschool. So, for my 40th b-day I decided to have my nose fixed. I researched plastic surgons, mainly looking at before and after photos... more

“Get a Nose Surgeon, Not a General...”

Make sure you go to a surgeon who only does noses. Your nose is really important part of your body. I got a nose job because as you get older your cartilege grows and this became a problem for me. I just didn't think my nose was that attractive. Since I've had my nose job my nose runs contantly, I have more allergies, and its aggrevated. Make sure you do your research ahead of time... more
