Breast augmentation is one of the most popular procedures in my Seattle practice. It can enhance your breast shape and projection, create symmetry, restore lost volume, or correct a congenital breast defect. I know that every woman is unique in both her desires and her body shape. At your consultation, we’ll discuss what you hope to gain from breast augmentation surgery. I will then recommend the best approach to achieve the most natural-looking breast enhancement results, from selecting silicone or saline implants, deciding on your implant size, and incision placement, to minimize scars. We may also talk about complementary procedures, like fat transfer breast augmentation (using your own fat) or a breast lift.

Abdominoplasty

I take a comprehensive, detailed approach to tummy tuck surgery (also called abdominoplasty) and tailor the procedure to each patient’s individual needs. During your consultation, we’ll discuss what you want to achieve and how to best address your goals—whether that’s through a full tummy tuck, extended tummy tuck, or mini tummy tuck. I’ll design the procedure to narrow your waistline and flatten your tummy, removing excess skin and fat while tightening the abdominal muscles that often loosen with pregnancy or age, and use a minimal incision that’s placed very low on the bikini line for a scar that’s easily hidden.

Rhinoplasty and Nose Shaping

151 Photos10 Reviews72 Q&A0 Offers
Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures performed today. It can reshape, reduce or augment a person’s nose to achieve facial harmony and boost self-confidence. It may also be performed as a reconstructive procedure to correct a birth defect or an injury such as a broken nose. Rhinoplasty may be performed for functional rather than cosmetic reasons as well. Nose reshaping surgery can effectively treat certain breathing problems, such as those caused by a deviated septum. Dr. Salemy performs a closed rhinoplasty. This is different from an open rhinoplasty, in that the only incisions are inside the nose, so there are no visible scars. Once the incisions are made, Dr. Salemy then gently lifts the soft tissues covering the nose. He will then sculpt the bone and cartilage to the desired shape, and if additional cartilage is needed to augment the nose, it will be taken from the septum or behind the ear.

My Rhinoplasty Experience

After having my rhinoplasty consultation with Dr. Salemy, I was 100% confident in choosing him to perform my surgery. My nose had always been my biggest insecurity so getting a rhinoplasty is something I've wanted since middle school. I am now two months post-op and I couldn't be happier with my results. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner! Dr. Salemy and his team made sure I felt fully prepared and completely at ease going into surgery. He took the time to answer all of my questions and provided reassurance not only to me, but also to my dad, which made the whole experience so much less stressful. Dr. Salemy and his entire team are incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely care about their patients. I'm so grateful for the amazing care I received.

My Experience

If I could select ALL for staff member I would have. Everyone I came in contact with at Dr. Salemy’s office was kind, knowledgeable and helpful on every level. After meeting other Doctors previously for consultations for breast augmentation I knew instantly that Dr. Salemy and his staff were different. I was put at ease right away and felt comfortable and heard through out the entire process, before and after. My questions and concerns were met with respect and understanding and were answered promptly and thoroughly. Every step of the way was explained to me in detail via verbal and written means. It was obvious to me that Dr. Salemy and his team cared about what I wanted and they definitely delivered. I was amazed at how easy recovery was. I woke up after surgery alert, happy and basically no pain. In fact my pain level never got above a 2 since I followed their pain protocol to a T. I never needed the stronger pain meds and was off everything except Tylenol after the first 5 days. I cannot say enough about how happy I am with my experience and my results are amazing! Dr. Salemy gave me exactly what I asked for and even better then I thought they could be. He is very good at what he does! Thank you Dr. Salemy and your team for taking care of me and giving me a new outer self.

Natural, beautifully proportionate - exactly what I envisioned

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care and expertise of Dr. Salemy and their incredible team. From my initial consultation to post-op follow-ups, the experience has been seamless, supportive, and truly life-changing. Dr. Salemy took the time to understand my goals and provided clear, honest guidance every step of the way. Their attention to detail and artistic approach resulted in results that far exceeded my expectations – natural, beautifully proportionate, and exactly what I envisioned. The staff was equally amazing, always kind, attentive, and quick to address any concerns. The entire process made me feel confident, safe, and well cared for. If you’re considering breast augmentation or any procedure, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Salemy. They are truly a master in their field, and I’m so thankful for the renewed confidence I feel every day.

Thankful and so happy with my results

I initially had a tummy tuck and breast augmentation from another surgeon. I was left with scares, necrotic tissue and much larger breasts than I wanted. I made an appointment with Dr.Salamy and was immediately impressed walking into his office how friendly his staff are. Dr.Salamy was warm, kind and explained everything to me. His surgical team made me feel so at ease. Post op I had no pain and I am beyond grateful, thankful and so happy with my results. Dr.Salamy exceeded my expectations! Thank you !!!!

Couldn’t Be Happier - My recovery time was very easy

I had a breast augmentation back in July after having a child. Let me say I am beyond happy with the results and would do it over again!! My recovery time was very easy for me and my six weeks flew by. I chose the right doctor for me after visiting three. Dr Salemy and his staff were amazing and made me feel so comfortable.

Stats: Height: 5’ 1” / Weight: 96 lbs.285 cc left breast / 305 cc right breast / smooth round mod+ Sientra implants / under musclePrevious bra size: flat as a board, probably an AA / New bra size: 28 E TLDR: Dr. Salemy is a consummate surgeon and he and his entire staff are extremely professional, polite, and genuinely caring. They are detail-oriented with a high standard of care and I truly had such a seamless experience that one could hope for. Thank you, Dr. Salemy and staff, for instilling immeasurable confidence that I was missing and contributing to a better quality of life! 2022 bra shopping: I looked down at my chest. My breasts looked like deflated balloons, one droopier than the other with nipples that looked like crumpled Tootsie Rolls. They became permanently elongated primarily from constantly pumping on the highest setting with flanges that did not properly fit. These bad boys went through two amazing journeys of providing and nourishing my kids but oh, how I longed to be bustier again when they were engorged. I wore size 32 A bras since puberty as that was the smallest size available in most stores and never bothered to actually get a proper fitting. Now, the thought of having to buy a smaller bra was defeating when the gaping and bulging of the cup edge was even more evident. It brought up the most negative memory I’ve harbored since my teens when someone cruelly joked to me that I had mosquito bites instead of boobs. I was tired of feeling insecure wearing certain clothing and during intimacy and I knew it was finally time to consider a breast augmentation that I had been patiently waiting for. Nov. 2022: I was referred to Dr. Salemy by my lovely coworker who also had a breast augmentation done by him. At my consultation, I settled for 285 cc for the left breast and 305 cc for the right, which was the maximum size he recommended due to my petite frame, and I also opted for the nipple reduction. He mentioned I would have a gap/wider set breasts but I already understood that from where my pectoralis muscles naturally attached to the sternum. I felt comfortable with Dr. Salemy's knowledge, confidence, skill, and honesty about my surgery that I did not seek consultations elsewhere. July 2023: Anxiety plagued me on surgery day but the anesthesiologist, Dr. Erlitz, had a calm and delightful demeanor that helped calm my nerves. While I was laying cozily under a heated comforter listening to “Oh Devil” by Electric Guest playing in the background, I distinctly remember my last thought prior to being under general anesthesia was “dang, this is pretty sweet!” It truly doesn’t get any better than this so shout out to the rest of my surgery team: Angela, Lindsey and Raven for taking exceptional care of me! Surgery and post-op healing was a BREEZE. My pain level was at a steady 1 while on celecoxib and gabapentin, I took zero oxycodone and at my one day post-op, I told him that I felt like a million bucks — it was like I didn’t even have surgery. By day three I was only taking Tylenol and my pain level at its worst was a 3 from those random zingers. The most discomfort endured were from the nerves of my nipples waking up during the 2nd week and they also have been high-beamin’ 24/7 since, but I ain’t complaining! Several other reviews mention the bandeau being uncomfortable and digging in the armpits but I didn’t experience that. I went back to work after two weeks with no discomfort but became sore from not taking into consideration how much lateral movement I do for my occupation. I purchased the silicone scar cream and tape but use the latter majority of the time while also attempting to massaging the scars as often as I remember. After my 6 week post-op I was actually looking forward to getting professionally fit for a new bra size. I’m now a 28 E (sister sizes would be 30 DD and 32 D for reference) and I would highly recommend visiting The Pencil Test in Renton for a proper fitting compared to Victoria's Secret and Nordstroms. The girls look phenomenal — symmetrical, perky, the perfect amount of roundness, and best of all, the nipples are on fleek! I’ve now bought and worn clothing that showcases the décolleté such as lingerie, bikinis, low cut tops and I absolutely feel more sexy, feminine and overall, complete. Goodbye hesitation and hello to this newfound radiance of confidence! If you made it this far, thanks for reading about my experience and I hope this was able to help someone else. To anyone contemplating a procedure, it’s understandable to have any reservations — but honestly, don't. At least schedule that consultation appointment as this has been one of the best investments I have done for myself.Much love, appreciation and respect for you, Dr. Salemy. Thank you for all that you do! Updated on 24 Jan 2024: It’s been 6 months since my breast augmentation + nipple reduction and I wanted to further invest in my self-esteem and confidence with a boudoir photo session at Hush & Wild Boudoir in Pioneer Square. The photo book will be a surprise gift to my hubs for his unconditional love and support but I also get to provide some elevated photos compared to the previous selfies ;) The ladies at H&W are amazing and made it such an empowering experience! I'm still ecstatic about my results and it truly has done wonders for me, especially self-love and appreciation. Cheers to being able to be/feel sexy and having a confident demeanor!PS: my topless photos were with the honey add-on.
