- The site describes him as a "board-certified plastic surgeon" without naming the certifying board on the pages checked.
- Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery and Chief of Plastic Surgery, Denver Health Medical Center, per the site.
- Named one of Forbes' "Top Ten Most Dependable Plastic Surgeons of the Western United States," 2008; listed in Marquis' Who's Who in America since 2009.
- Since 2005, the site states over 13,000 surgical procedures, including more than 4,500 facelifts and neck lifts, about 75 eyelid surgeries a year and about 150 rhinoplasties a year.
Eyelid surgery work
- Upper blepharoplasty. Incision along the natural fold of the eyelid; excess skin and tissue removed, fat repositioned or excised, closed with fine sutures (source).
- Lower blepharoplasty. Incision either just below the lash line (subciliary), or transconjunctival (inside the lower eyelid) when skin elasticity is good, concealing the scar; may be combined with a chemical peel or filler since it does not itself correct dark circles.
- Performed under local anesthesia; when both lids are treated, the upper lid is done first. The procedure takes 1-2 hours; strenuous activity is restricted afterward.
