The Portland Center for Facial Plastic Surgery : Rhinoplasty, Facelift Surgery

I had my lower eyelids done by Dr. Portuese, this was a procedure I had been wanting for years. My lower eyelids were puffy and looked tired. After discussing the procedure and my concerns with Dr. Portuese, I made the decision to have surgery. It was done under general anesthesia, and I was very nervous the morning of my operation. Meeting with the anesthesiologist beforehand put me at ease. The surgery was over quickly and I was waking up in recovery with the nurses comforting me. As soon as I was awake and stable, I headed home to rest. I didn’t have much pain besides a little headache. My eyes healed quickly without any complications and faster than I expected! I was sure to follow the post-op instructions from the nurses and that definitely helped with the healing. One week later I was back to work with only slight bruising, that could be covered with make-up. Now I have fully healed and couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Thank you Dr. Portuese and wonderful staff for helping me through this experience!

Three months post-op from my rhinoplasty and I'm very pleased with my new nose! Having an ethnic background made it difficult for me to find a surgeon who can perform rhinoplasty on any type of nose. Unlike other surgeons, Dr. P wasn't phased by my ethnic nose. He was confident he could give me the exact look I wanted, and did just that.

I have been in the health/beauty industry for a long time.. and I have to say that I am so impressed with Dr William Portuese and The Portland Center for Facial Plastic Surgery and his work. He truly has a gift. I felt very comfortable in talking with him and all of my concerns were answered. He is the rhinoplasty expert in Portland. So happy I found him

Dr. P. is meticulous, kind, and funny! He sets you at ease in his Portland office with a wry smile. What separates him from all the others doing facial plastics is his rhinoplasty skill. Many non-plastic surgeons take on liposuction, filler injection, lasers, even breast augmentation and facelifts; but no one takes on the nose. There are many plastic surgeons that won't do rhinoplasty. I had a primary rhinoplasty 2 years ago in Portland. My nose started becoming crooked 1 week after cast removal. I had open rhino and my columella had a step off. I had restricted breathing. I had steroid injections. I taped. I had a revision 1 year later with only relief of the step off. My dentist told me I had to do something about my breathing because I was starting to get gum inflammation from dry mouth due to mouth breathing. I finally went to Dr. Portuese because Dr. Hayes was kind enough to tell me about him. Then I had 3 friends from Oregon go up to Seattle for operations. Two had their 3rd rhinoplasty with him. And he did it closed, even with a skin graft. One went for a facelift. Their results were amazing. Their noses are so natural looking. Not pinched, not crooked and they breath. My friend with the facelift looks refreshed. People think she had her hair cut - but the difference is amazing. I had finally given up on another surgery, but based on my friends, I went for one consult. (I had interviewed 1 on the Hill, 1 in Lake Oswego, 1 in Beaverton. None of them do the volume of rhinos or revision rhinos that Dr. P. does). Dr. Portuese put me at ease when he told me he had done 1,000s of rhinoplasties. That is amazing. I went to his RealSelf website and he has HUNDREDS of before and afters of just rhinoplasty. Within two months I was in and had surgery. It has been 5 weeks and now I breath. I still have swelling but not epic like my other surgeries. At my follow up visit, no steroid injections. Finally, I don't have to deal with the aftermath of my poor decision making. The nose is straight. I give Dr. P. my two thumbs up. He is talented. He has tons of street cred. He knows the nose. I am so glad I went from Portland to Seattle for an expert (it was also nice to be completely anonymous and not local). Thank you Dr. P!!!
