- The practice states it is the major private practice teaching affiliate of the University of Washington Division of Plastic Surgery, and each of its physicians holds a faculty appointment (source).
Eyelid surgery work
- Dr. Morton's clinical focus includes facelift, eyelid surgery and neck lift (source).
- Blepharoplasty. The practice offers upper and lower eyelid surgery. Upper blepharoplasty removes fat and tissue from the upper eyelid to clear the field of vision and reduce sagging. Lower blepharoplasty removes drooping skin or puffiness under the eye and may reduce fine lines on the underside of the eye. At consultation the doctor advises upper, lower or combined surgery (blepharoplasty).
- Brow lift. The brow lift page describes treating ptosis of the brow (a heavy or descended brow). Incisions are often placed behind the hairline; the surgeon removes excess tissue and tightens the remaining tissue (source).
- The eyelid and brow pages describe the practice's surgeons as a group and do not name one surgeon.
Gallery: the blepharoplasty gallery shows three cases. Patient 3, age 56, had a bilateral upper eyelid blepharoplasty with Trent Morton, MD, FACS named as surgeon. Patients 1 and 2 are credited to Dr. Chad Bailey (source). The site has no brow lift gallery.
Other procedures
Dr. Morton performs breast augmentation, lift and reduction, abdominoplasty and body contouring. He also performs breast reconstruction, including DIEP flap, implant-based reconstruction and revision (source). The practice also offers facelift, fat grafting, otoplasty and med spa services.
