Enter the office of Dr. Joseph Shvidler and you will soon find the sincere pride his staff has in presenting the stories of their patients. Although Seattle boasts several facial plastic surgeons, Dr. Shvidler’s before- and-after results regularly meet a high level. Find out more!

His art is not about radical makeovers. Consider rhinoplasty; many patients arrive feeling self-conscious about a nose hump or shape they have known for years. Though most importantly a relaxed and confident new attitude, their after pictures show a streamlined profile and a softer tip. Friends just see a fresh spark in their eyes; they seldom see change.

Neck lifts and facelifts also show the same understated approach. The patients of Dr. Shvidler seem younger, rejuvenated, and organically enhanced rather than shouting “I had surgery.” One mother, astounded at how much more like herself she felt, even related how her daughter kept asking if she had started sleeping better.

Though less dramatic, eyelid surgery can change a person. Bright, young eyes replace heavy, tired lids, usually rendering makeup pointless. The before-and-after pictures catch not only a physical transformation but also a fresh confidence and vitality.

Patients’ self-perception can be much improved with even little changes including injectables or scar corrections. Many who avoided pictures now gladly take front stage, ready for family get—togethers and holiday cards.

What links all these outcomes together? Every change honors the special qualities and personality of the patient. The work of Dr. Shvidler helps people see themselves quite clearly, only better, not exactly replaced. The real centerpieces of his Seattle practice’s amazing before-and-after gallery are those grins and anecdotes.
