Donald G. Wortham, MD, FACS is triple Board Certified through the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and American Board of Otolaryngology (head and neck surgery). He received residency surgical training from the University of Washington and UCLA, where he earned several national academic awards. He completed a Cosmetic Surgery Fellowship in Beverly Hills with Mel Bircoll, MD who had triple board certifications in Cosmetic Surgery, Plastic Surgery, and General Surgery and in Chicago with Richard Caleel, DO who was the President of the Board of Cosmetic Surgery and double board certified in Cosmetic Surgery and General Surgery. Since beginning his practice in the greater Seattle area in 1987, Dr. Wortham has helped thousands of women and men in the Northwest refine their noses, cheeks, chins, and eyelids, lift their brows, foreheads, and faces, add curves where none existed before, eliminate lumps and dimples that spoil silhouettes, and reverse wrinkling and sagging caused by time, gravity and unprotected sun exposure.
