In addition to managing complex medical and surgical cases, he also provides a broad array of facial rejuvenation services, including cosmetic eyelid surgery, small incision endoscopic forehead lifts as well as Juvederm and Botulinum toxin injections for wrinkle reduction.
He was born and raised in Madison, WI and attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where his undergraduate studies in biology and zoology led him to pursue a career in medicine. Dr. Lipham received his medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX. After his first year of medical school training, Dr. Lipham was selected to participate in the Howard Hughes Medical Institute-National Institutes of Health (HHMI-NIH) Research Scholars Program at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. During his two-year NIH fellowship, he published three papers and received a young investigators award, valued at ¥75,000, from the Secretariat of the 5th International Symposium on the Immunology and Immunopathology of the Eye in Tokyo, Japan. Upon completion of his fellowship, Dr. Lipham was chosen by a panel of NIH scientists to receive a $49,800.00 merit scholarship from HHMI for demonstrating ”Outstanding potential as a future leader in academic medicine”.
After graduating from medical school, Dr. Lipham completed his transitional internship at the University of Hawaii, Honolulu, where he met his wife Azura. During his internship, Dr. Lipham traveled to Vietnam with the Aloha Medical Mission where he worked with a group of American eye surgeons who taught local doctors how to surgically reconstruct patients’ eyelids and faces who had sustained severe trauma. This experience sparked an interest in pursuing additional training as ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgeon.
Dr. Lipham is a Fellow of the American Board of Ophthalmology and American College of Surgeons (FACS). He is an active member of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS), American Academy of Ophthalmology, and the American Medical Association.

I was very pleased with the doctor and all that worked with him. They were all very kind so far everything is going good.
Very disappointed that no one followed up with me after my surgery. I was assured that there would be a follow-up call and every other outpatient surgery that I've had in the past 3 years there has always been a follow-up call the same day. I really can't comment as to the success of this surgery until there has been some time to heal. I think Dr lipham has a good reputation, but right now not feeling very good about the practice.
Very informative and pleasant. I highly recommend Dr. Lipham
Very very good so happy with Dr. LIPHAM
Dr Lipham Excellent expertise as a highly rated ophthalmologist plastic surgeon very professional and personable great at explaining conditions and procedures and having a friendly skilled staff
Dr. Lipman reconstructed my eyelids that were botched two decades ago by another surgeon. For the first time in two decades, I am able to look at myself in the mirror. Not only do both my eyes look normal, but I can finally open my eyes and can see much better. Outside of the surgery itself, his voice comforted and guided me through the surgery because I was scared. I just held onto his voice. That's the first time I can ever say that about any doctor's voice
Very friendly. He explained my issue well and was quick with a solution and procedure.
everybody was clear, concise and to the point friendly explained everything made me feel comfortable
Very genuine
The main focus was the cost of the procedure, despite of my primary ophtalmologist stating that this will be covered by my insurance he kept focusing on cash pay rates are different before january and after january, then i kept telling him its my LEFT eye and he kept saying its my RIGHT, maybe he needs to check his vision too, didnt like his approach nor his diagnosis
