WORTH IT
I had a deviated septum from a young age, but I'd gotten pretty good at being a quiet mouth breather. Finally, in 2014, I found a doctor that I trusted enough to have a septoplasty. After the procedure I could breath beautifully, but I ended up with a very scarred and lumpy nose. Shortly after, I moved to Seattle. For fear of making it worse, I spent months researching and seeking out the best revision doc in the area. Thanks to Real Self, I found Dr. Portuese! His entire staff has been so sweet and helpful on every visit! He has an excellent bedside manner and actually LISTENS and thoroughly discussing every concern/question with me. The office is beautiful, clean, and organized. I'm so thrilled with how he's helped my nose and I plan on having additional procedures in the future! I'll post updates as we progress!
