Facial Surgery Specialties
Our surgical center in Seattle focuses on facial procedures. Concentrating on one anatomical region enables a higher degree of specialization, consistent outcomes, and an efficient patient experience.
Rhinoplasty & Septorhinoplasty
Functional and cosmetic nasal surgery to refine nasal shape, improve breathing, and restore balance to the face. Techniques include closed rhinoplasty, cartilage grafting, septal correction, and revision procedures when needed.
Closed Rhinoplasty
Closed rhinoplasty, on the other hand, is a technique in which the surgeon makes all of the incisions inside the nostrils. This approach has the advantage of resulting in a less visible scar, as the incisions are hidden inside the nostrils. It can also be associated with a shorter recovery time and a lower risk of complications.
Ethnic Rhinoplasty
Ethnic rhinoplasty is a type of plastic surgery that specifically caters to the unique needs of individuals from certain ethnic or racial backgrounds. This type of surgery is designed to help patients from these backgrounds achieve a nose shape that is more in line with their cultural aesthetic ideals and that fits more harmoniously with the rest of their facial features offering a natural looking nose.
Reconstructive & Revision Surgery
Revision rhinoplasty addresses issues left unresolved or created by a primary rhinoplasty. The nose’s intricate anatomy—comprising nasal bones, upper and lower lateral cartilages, septum, and soft tissue—can be difficult to correct after prior surgery due to scar tissue and structural changes.
Anesthesia, Monitoring, and Recovery
At our surgical center in Seattle, anesthesia is delivered exclusively by board-certified physician anesthesiologists. You’ll meet your anesthesia team prior to surgery to review your health history, airway, medications, and fasting instructions. We utilize contemporary agents and multimodal analgesia for a smoother wake-up and less nausea. In recovery, dedicated registered nurses monitor vital signs, pain control, and hydration until you meet safe discharge criteria.
Patients receive a 24/7 contact protocol for urgent concerns, along with scheduled follow-ups. Most facial procedures are outpatient, allowing you to recover in the comfort of your home or local accommodations with a responsible adult.
Consultation, Planning, and Informed Consent
Effective surgery begins with a clear plan. During consultation at our surgical center in Seattle, your surgeon performs a focused exam, reviews goals, and, when appropriate, uses photo imaging to discuss proportional changes. Risks, benefits, alternatives, and expected timelines are explained in a direct, professional manner. You will receive written instructions for pre-op preparation (medications, supplements, nicotine cessation, and infection-prevention steps) and post-op care (wound care, activity limits, sleeping position, and follow-up schedule).
Support for Out-of-Town and Out-of-State Patients
Our location on First Hill makes travel logistics straightforward. Many patients fly in via Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) and stay near the surgical center in Seattle for early recovery. We generally recommend a minimum ten-day stay before flying home after major facial procedures like rhinoplasty, facelift, or neck lift. This window allows for initial follow-up, suture removal when indicated, and early swelling assessments.
Helpful planning tips
- Arrange a trusted adult to accompany you for the first 24–48 hours.
- Book accommodations near First Hill or downtown for easy access to your surgeon.
- Pre-stock soft foods, ice packs, gauze, and saline as advised by your care team.
- Avoid strenuous activity and air travel until your surgeon clears you.
