- Board certification: the eyelid lift page refers generally to "our board-certified plastic surgeons"; Dr. Wheeler's own bio page does not print a specific board name.
Eyelid surgery work
- Upper eyelid surgery. Removes excess skin and fat to improve drooping upper lids and enhance vision (source).
- Lower eyelid surgery. Targets under-eye bags and wrinkles; one of Dr. Wheeler's case descriptions specifies "bilateral transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty with facial fat transfer" (source).
- Combined upper and lower eyelid surgery offered as comprehensive rejuvenation.
- No ptosis repair, canthoplasty, double eyelid surgery, or revision eyelid surgery page found. Forehead and brow lift is offered as a related, separate procedure with traditional and endoscopic techniques (source).
- Galleries: three eyelid before-and-after cases on the practice's page are each individually credited to Dr. Wheeler: a bilateral upper eyelid case, and two bilateral transconjunctival lower eyelid cases with facial fat transfer.
Other procedures
Dr. Wheeler's practice-wide bio states he performs "all aspects of plastic surgery, including implant and free flap breast reconstruction, facial aesthetics, and body contouring." The practice (Plastic Surgery Northwest) also lists surgeons Christopher Pannucci, Derek Fletcher, Emily Williams, and Janelle Sousa, and offers breast procedures, body procedures, non-surgical treatments and reconstructive procedures.
