Training and board certification
The site's biography for Dr. Robertson, on the surgical team page, states: "Dr. Robertson began his career as the first Director of Facial Plastic Surgery at the University of Wisconsin Hospital more than 15 years ago," followed by nine years of academic work in research, teaching, resident education and clinical instruction, before he "transitioned to private practice in 2003" (surgical). He carries the credential "MD, FACS" as printed on the site. The page does not state his medical school, residency, fellowship or specific board certification; it emphasizes that he is on-site at Middleton for direct patient supervision.
Eyelid surgery work
- Upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Incision placed in the natural eyelid crease; removes excess skin, muscle and fat, with fat removed selectively to avoid a sunken look; under one hour, under local anesthesia or oral sedation (IV sedation if combined with other procedures) (source).
- Lower eyelid blepharoplasty, two approaches (source):
- Transconjunctival: incision inside the eyelid, for patients with excess fat and good skin tone; fat removed or repositioned without a visible scar; a skin pinch excision can be added for additional tightening.
- Subciliary: incision just beneath the lash line, for more advanced skin laxity; addresses loose skin, fat and cheek elevation together.
- The page also mentions festoon excision and skin resurfacing (erbium laser or TCA chemical peels) as adjuncts.
Other procedures
The site lists browlifts (endoscopic and specialized), septorhinoplasty, chin augmentation, necklift, facelift, mini facelift, facial liposuction, fat transfer and otoplasty as surgical services, plus non-surgical wrinkle relaxers, dermal fillers, laser and skin-rejuvenation treatments (source).
