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.

Seeing that I was awake during most of the procedure I was surprised to hear the doctor and staff talking about their personal lives, weekend plans, etc. This surgery might be second nature to them but to me, the patient, I would have appreciated less chit chat and more attention to their work. As I mentioned pain (see additional comment below) I would have appreciated more attention to what I was reporting / feeling.
Dr. Lipham was pleasant, informative and an excellent surgeon . I trust him and his skills in correcting any eye problems I may have.
Everyone was very friendly and smiling. Staff worked well together and that made me feel comfortable.
Can't refer to anyone, he's going to Texas
I found Dr. Lipham to be an excellent listener and very responsive to my questions. I like his matter-of-fact approach and his professionalism. I am three weeks out from blepharoplasty and healing well. Thanks to the entire team.
Dr Lippmann explained who he was his expertise and then prescribed appropriate treatment - vey professional
Wonderfully informative
Short and to the point and very nice.
great rapport - procedure seemed to go well
Dr. Lipham was very professional and did an excellent job. He explained exactly what to expect good or bad. I would recommend as a highly professional !
