Very Happy with Revision Rhinoplasty
Dr. Portuese did an excellent job for my revision rhinoplasty. My original rhinoplasty left me with a curved nose and asymmetric nostrils. Dr. Portuese was able to provide realistic expectations and great results. I am very happy!

He Made Me Feel Whole Again
Dr. Portuese is an exceptionally talented artist in facial plastic surgery, and is an equally compassionate individual. Before deciding on Dr. Portuese to perform my septo-rhinoplasty, I had consultations with renown facial plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills, Dallas, and New York over the course of several years. To say I was a cautious potential patient was an understatement. I chose Dr. Portuese not only because of his decades of experience, reputation as a skilled surgeon in

My new nose makes me look as happy as I feel
I had been waiting my whole life for a rhinoplasty and finally got one in 2019. Unfortunately even after what I felt was extensive research & finding a doctor in Newport beach, orange county that I loved the before and after pics from his other clients, I had been unhappy with results & felt stuck with a nose worse than my original nose. I was so skeptical to go through with another rhinoplasty considering the cost financially and emotionally, but after months, I kept

Obsessed with my nose! Healing process was relatively easy
My initial consultation with Dr. Portuese was in July 2023 via Zoom. The day before the consultation I was sent my simulated after photos as a starting point to discuss my wishes during my appointment. Throughout the consultation he was very knowledgable and answered all of my questions. I never felt pressured during the meeting to commit to anything and I appreciated the transparent pricing online. For the work that he does, his prices are VERY fair and more affordable than some

At 7 months I can't say I am extremely happy with the result
I had a primary rhinoplasty 7 months ago with Dr. Portuese. I found Dr. Portuese on Instagram and fell in love other the work that I saw on his profile. I called the office and scheduled a consultation. It was fast and the people who helped schedule the consultation were very nice. My consult came and I was very happy with how it went. Dr. Portuese noticed right away that I had a crooked nose and told me he would straighten it. He said he would fix my tip so that it did not droop

Life-changing Already. Cannot Recommend Enough!
I followed Dr. Portuese's work for over a decade and finally committed to my rhinoplasty based on his natural looking results. I'm only one week post-op and I am already beyond impressed. Not one aspect of my care, from consultation to payment to procedure raised any sort of doubt that I was in the wrong hands. There was no pain postoperatively; it truly feels like you just have a terrible sinus cold. My issue was a bulbous tip that drooped when I smiled. He fixed both. You will

Already love the shape of my nose even with some residual swelling
Dr Portuese and his team were very friendly and responsive throughout the entire process. I had my surgery almost two weeks ago and I already love the shape of my nose even with some residual swelling. The operation went quickly and my recovery was pretty seamless. I had some light bruising and swelling but otherwise hardly any pain and I was back in public less than a week later. I had a bulbous tip reduction, droopy tip, dorsal hump, and a wide nose. He fixed all of these issues

It was completed so naturally that I have no external scarring
Soo so happy with my rhinoplasty! Dr. Portuese was a delight to work with. He was thorough, resourceful, and kind. His team ensured I was comfortable and walked me through every step of the process. Dr. Protuese informed me I had a deviated septum and repaired it for me. I'm now able to breathe a lot better than before. The best part is that the procedure was completed so naturally that I have no external scarring and you wouldn't even be able to tell what I got done unless I

Love my new nose but he never followed up after my 1-week cast removal
I was insecure about my nose since I was 11 and decided to get a rhinoplasty last year at age 20 when I finally had enough saved. Pros: Dr. Portuese was funny and clearly trying to make me laugh before the procedure. He did good work on my nose and I'm really grateful for that. Cons: he never followed up after my 1-week cast removal, didn't reach out or anything. He also was very blunt and matter-of-fact which made me nervous at times. The "before" pictures they took of me were

I can breathe better now than I ever could before the procedure
I am currently 9 days post op from rhinoplasty and septoplasty surgery and I could not be happier with the results! Dr. Portuese completely fixed my breathing issue, even with swelling, I can breathe better now than I ever could before the procedure. I was always insecure about my nose, especially my side profile and it feels amazing to have a nose that perfectly fits my face and looks natural. I was initially nervous about having this surgery but the process went smoothly and
