About Dr. Portuese

Expertise built around facial anatomy.

Dr. William Portuese is a Seattle facial plastic surgeon whose practice is dedicated to cosmetic and functional procedures of the face, nose and neck.

He is certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and by the American Board of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery. This combination of training supports a detailed understanding of facial aesthetics, nasal structure, breathing function and the complex anatomy beneath the skin.

After completing medical school at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine, Dr. Portuese trained in otolaryngology, head and neck surgery, and facial plastic and reconstructive surgery at Louisiana State University Hospital. He then completed a dedicated facial plastic and reconstructive surgery fellowship at the Lasky Clinic in Beverly Hills.

At The Seattle Facial Plastic Surgery Center, each treatment plan begins with the patients anatomy, priorities and expectations. The objective is not to create a standardized look, but to refine features while preserving identity and maintaining natural facial balance.

"A successful result should look harmonious, individualized and appropriate for the patient."
