“amazing!!! - Seattle, WA”

“I Wish I Had Choosen Dr. P the First Time Around!”

Posted by June2010

Revision Rhinoplasty

Dr. P is fixated on precision, is confident, reassuring without being patronizing, and surrounds himself with an agile, competent, proactive staff. He performs a closed technique (for rhinoplasty)and the office and surgery rooms are comfortable and convenient. I like that he works with Swedish anesthesiologists. Overall, and most importantly, I felt very trusting of Dr. P, as well as confident in his aesthetic preferences, which is why I choose him for my revision surgery.

“One Very Happy Client! - Seattle, WA”

Eyelid Surgery

I am a 53yro male and went in to see about having a facelift. Dr P said I really don't need one. He listened to my concerns and said he could do my upper and lower eyes plus cheek implants. He said "that's where you'll get the bang for your buck". Well, I went through the procedure and he was right!! What a difference it made in my appearance. I am very satisfied with the outcome and his entire staff was very supportive. I called a few times during my recovery and they listended to my concerns and addressed them. If I had to leave a message my calls were returned very promptly. If I need any future procedures I will definitely go to Dr P.

“Excellence! - Seattle Rhinoplasty”

Posted by Erika Sofia G.

I was treated with the utmost respect. My first two visits were fast and they answered my questions honestly and gave me the best options for myself. The day of surgery they pampered me, and were fast. I came home and was recovering before I knew it. They supplied me with everything I would need. I already knew EXACTLY what the process would be since it was already discussed. I don't think I could have asked for more. They exceeded my expectations!

Chin Implant

Very knowledgeable and straight forward. Great staff. 20 years of experience and great eye and talent for making natural-looking results.

“HIghly Recommend This Doctor - Seattle, WA”

Posted by kdlock

I had a rhinoplasty and chin implant done by Dr. Portuese in September 2011. I am thrilled with the results which look very natural and beautiful. I cannot recommend Dr. Portuese and his friendly staff enough. I never felt rushed, and the Dr. and his staff all treat you like a friend. I travelled down to Seattle from Victoria, BC to have my surgery done - and it was a very wise decision.

“A Surgeon That Other Doctors Choose - Seattle, WA”

Posted by Anonymous27

As a physician myself, it was important to me to find a plastic surgeon with the experience and expertise to create a natural and aesthetically pleasing new nose, but also with the bedside manner to put me at ease through the process. From the moment of consultation with Dr. Portuese, I felt I had found that surgeon. I was very happy with the consultation and with the process of going through surgery; now, seven months later, I am quite happy with the results. My former self-consciousness and embarrassment with my nose has been replaced with confidence and self-assurance. I can't thank him enough.

“Amazing Experience With Amazing Results - Seattle, WA”

Posted by hanlonv

My experience with Dr. Portuese and his office was AMAZING! I started my search for a skilled rhinoplasty surgeon 2 years before my surgery. The entire process with Dr. Portuese’s office, start to finish, was effortless and my results are amazing! The office staff is very thorough and accommodating. They will go out of their way to ensure your comfort and explain the process. Dr. Portuese is a highly skilled, straight talking surgeon and the surgery team was equally skilled. I had a difficult time coming out of anesthesia and the entire team was supportive. I remember thinking how lovely they were when they walked me down to the garage as my boyfriend left to pull the car around! As for the surgery itself, it was very quick. I believe the entire process was under 2 hours. I had minimal bruising but freaked out when the tip of my nose had not yet descended. The staff was fabulous in talking me through the recuperation process and assured me my progress was normal. Several people on this site have mentioned their price increase. I had my rhinoplasty just before they raised their prices, which they were very upfront about. I know from my research, that they weren’t the cheapest but they are still significantly less than what other less experienced doctors in the Puget Sound area charge. As I college student, I would have gladly paid the extra money to still have my rhinoplasty done by Dr. Portuese and his staff.

“Everytime I Look Inthe Mirror, I Am So Pleased Dr.P Did my Surgery. - Seattle, WA”

Posted by erob

Rhinoplasty

I had columella-plasty. The skin between my nostrils hung down, making my nose look pointy, especially when I smiled. Also, I had a constant runny nose because the epithelium of my nose was exposed. I have wanted to get this surgery done for 15 years and had meet with 4 different plastic surgeons to discuss rhinoplasty. I choose Dr. P based on recommendations and on my inital consult. Everytime I look in the mirror, I know I made the right choice having Dr.P do my surgery. I am so so happy I got it done. Dr.P is the best and the staff at his office are exceptional.

Rhinoplasty

Dr. P is extremely knowledgeable and knew exactly what he needed to do in order to get me feeling confident again. Overall, I would highly recommend Dr. Portuese. Between his knowledge and great bedside manner, the wonderful staff and nurses, and the perfect results I have received, I can’t imagine a better experience with any other doctor.

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

Posted by realgirl65

Rhinoplasty

Dr. Portuese is an excellent surgeon. I was apprehensive about proceeding with this surgery but I felt in good hands. He does a lot of rhinoplasties and knows his stuff. Nose surgery is very complex and the possibility of revision is higher, but I am sure that Dr. Portuese has fewer issues because he has a lot of experience and takes his time. This was totally worth it. I didn't expect perfection but what I got was a nose I am no longer self conscious of, it enhances my face rather than being an aberration.

“Opting to Do a Revision Rhinoplasty Was Not Something I Decided Easily - Seattle, WA”

Posted by Seattle5076

Revision Rhinoplasty

I met with Dr. P and appreciated his ability to assess what was wrong with my nose and how he could correct it. On the day of surgery, I was very comfortable with the entire process and his staff was very professional and informative. I wish I found Dr. P 20 years ago.

Are you going to turn up my nose?

I tell patients, "No, I'm not." During rhinoplasty consultations, I assure the person that I'm not going to turn their nose up. I tell them that I'm not going to give you a ski slope, and I'm not going to give you a Miss Piggy. These were three
