Learn About Dr. PortueseAbout Dr. Portuese
Facial surgery guided by detail.
Dr. Portueses work is focused on the nose, face and neck, where even subtle changes can have a meaningful effect on overall balance.
The most natural-looking facial plastic surgery respects the patients identity while improving proportion, structure and definition.
William A. Portuese, MD, is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon in Seattle. He is certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and by the American Board of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery.
His training provides a broad foundation in facial aesthetics, nasal structure, breathing function and the deeper anatomy of the face and neck. This is especially important in procedures such as rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty, where cosmetic and functional considerations may overlap.
Dr. Portuese completed medical school at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine and received residency training in otolaryngology, head and neck surgery, and facial plastic and reconstructive surgery at Louisiana State University Hospital.
He later completed fellowship training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery at the Lasky Clinic in Beverly Hills. Today, his Seattle practice focuses on individualized surgical planning and results designed to look balanced rather than obvious.
