Services
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve facial balance and address functional issues like breathing difficulties. Ideal candidates seek to refine nasal size, shape, or proportions while maintaining natural features. Our surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure symmetry and long-term results.
Facelift
Facelift surgery tightens sagging skin and muscles to restore a youthful appearance. This procedure targets jowls, neck laxity, and deep creases, offering natural-looking results through SMAS layer manipulation and minimal scarring techniques.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat from upper and lower eyelids to reduce puffiness and tiredness. It enhances eye definition while preserving natural contours, often combined with other procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation uses implants to strengthen a recessed chin, improving facial symmetry and profile balance. The procedure complements rhinoplasty or facelifts, with minimal downtime and long-lasting aesthetic enhancement.
Otoplasty
Otoplasty corrects protruding or misshapen ears to achieve natural proportions. Performed on children and adults, this procedure enhances self-confidence through subtle, permanent improvements in ear positioning and symmetry.

I had been considering a rhinoplasty for two years, but many of the doctors I spoke with didn't seem to get the subtle aesthetic I was after. Dr. William Portuese was very attentive from the moment I met with him and asked what I wanted before making any recommendations. I specified that I wanted a natural look, and he was forthright and competent in his recommendations. Before moving further, he double-checked that we were on the same page.
I opted to have my nose job after a Skype consultation. His crew was flawless, and they made the procedure exceedingly simple by providing all of the necessary information for a rapid recovery. They are happy to answer any questions you may have and reply swiftly by phone and email. They clearly value the health and comfort of their patients. The end product is fantastic. It's elegant, natural, and balanced.
If you're thinking of getting a rhinoplasty, I'd recommend Dr. Portuese and The Seattle Facial Plastic Surgery Center. He's a master of symmetry and, in the end, the top surgeon in the field in terms of delivery and patient happiness.

I was searching for a plastic surgeon near me that offered rhinoplasty and found a couple in Seattle. It wasn't until I found this plastic surgery clinic and talked to Dr Portuese that I understood the difference between a plastic surgeon and a facial plastic surgeon. Wow. I'm glad I found the right doctor and he helped me understand the differences between closed and open rhinoplasty. I reviewed many before and after photos in his office and was also impressed with the facility and staff. Service was great. Atmosphere amazing. Felt like family. My new favorite place.

Recently scheduled an appointment for a rhinoplasty with Dr Portuese. His medical staff helped me understand the process. Initially I wanted an in-person consultation but due to Covid issues. virtual made sense. I am showing this before and after photo bc it helped me gain the confidence I needed bc being a man that wants plastic surgery - there are many others out there like me that didnt realize guys are getting this done. Thank you to staff for showing me lots of before and after photos and discussing my needs. I cant wait for my new nose.

Searching on Google Maps for a facial plastic surgeon and plastic surgeons near me and lots of plastic surgery clinics and businesses came up in Seattle WA. After reading the reviews, reviewing the before and afters, The Seattle Facial Plastic Surgery Center was my first choice. I was considering a rhinoplasty revision because I felt my first nose job was botched. So thankful for the free virtual consultations process and availability for surgery. Dr Portuese stated that a revision rhinoplasty was most likely needed. The costs of the surgery, operating room, anesthesia, surgeon fees, recovery was all explained to me. Thank you for making this process simple and for being so thoughtful.
