Nose Surgery in Seattle Washington with Dr. Portuese.
Surgery of the nose or Rhinoplasty is performed to increase or decrease the size of the nose, sculpt and change the shape of the tip, bridge, bones, cartilage or nostril size. Nothing has a greater impact on how a person looks than the size and shape of the nose. Because the nose is the most defining characteristic of the face, a slight alteration can greatly improve one's appearance. It is important to have realistic goals and expectations regarding the outcome of the surgery. It is also important to consider why you want to have nose surgery. The goal is to improve the nose aesthetically to better balance with the other facial features; sometimes breathing is improved at the same time. Surgery is performed by making small incisions on the inside of the nose. There are no external incisions. The skin is lifted off of the cartilage and bone and the nose is then sculpted to the appropriate shape. The skin is then placed back in position and dissolvable sutures are used to close the incisions inside the nose. Click here for nose surgery before and after photos.

Facelift in Seattle Washington with Dr. Portuese.
The aging process which encompasses the effects of gravity, sun exposure and the stresses of daily life begin to show on a persons face as they age. Creases form between the nose and the mouth, jowls begin to form, and neck muscles loosen becoming prominent and form what are called "bands". Fatty deposits can also appear in the neck which too becomes more prominent as the aging process progresses.

A facelift can tighten the Facial and Neck muscle structure, remove fat and tighten skin; which in turn create a more youthful appearance. A facelift can be done by itself or in conjunction with other procedures, such as Blepharoplasty (eyelid) or Rhinoplasty (nose) surgery. An excellent candidate is an adult in good health whose face, eyes, neck, and/or jowls have begun to sag or droop. The average age of a patient having a facelift ranges between forty and sixty-five, but occasionally we will see patients well into their seventies. Typically, facelift surgeries will last about three hours with an additional three hours allowed for recovery. Contact Seattle facelift specialist Dr. William Portuese today.
