Widely recognized as one of the Northwest's leading facial cosmetic surgeons, Lee D. Robinson, M.D., uses his expert skills to give patients a new, younger look that is remarkably natural in appearance.
With this goal foremost in mind, Dr. Robinson focuses on the full range of surgical cosmetic procedures to include face and neck lift, brow and forehead lift, rhinoplasty (nose reconstruction), blepharoplasty (upper and lower eyelid surgery), otoplasty (protruding ear surgery), earlobe repair and reduction, chin implants and mole removal. Complementing his skills is a superbly trained staff that maximizes comfort while providing the safest and most advanced treatments available today.
Taking innovation to a new level, Dr. Robinson expanded his practice last year to open Oswego Spa & Laser, a premier medical day spa and one of the first of its kind in the Portland area. Adjoining his state-of-the-art surgical suite, Oswego Spa & Laser provides an individualized approach to each person, not just a standard menu of options. No matter what the patients needs are, the unique spa provides an array of the most advanced and effective medically based skin rejuvenation therapies and treatments and antiaging products. Services include microdermabrasion, medically based skin rejuvenation programs, and laser technology as well as numerous forms of massage therapy, facial and body treatments, professional makeup sessions, manicures and pedicures. Post operative skin care and makeup truly round out thepremier services of this unique facility.
In addition to BOTOX to correct wrinkles and fine lines, and Restylane to fill creases, smile lines and plump up thin lips, Dr. Robinson now offers Sculptra, a new injectable fi ller that studies have shown to last for more than two years. Sculptra works by both fi lling in deep facial furrows and creases and by stimulating the body to produce new collagen in underlying tissue, creating a fuller, more youthful appearance.
Dr. Robinson also offers the Obagi Nu-Derm Skin Care System. Commonly referred to as Obagi, it is designed to rebuild skin at the cellular level. The skin rejuvenation program decreases pigmentation, fine lines, acne, pore size and renews the skins ability to hold moisture and fight off environmental stresses. Estheticians and registered nurses work closely with patients to determine the right program in helping achieve the best results. After a minimum of six weeks, patients may be candidates for the Obagi Blue Peel, which uses TCA (Tetrachloracetcic Acid) and is performed by Dr. Robinson. This further enhances the skin by smoothing out deeper wrinkles and eliminating stubborn hyperpigmentation. Depending on the depth of the peel, skin may flake for three to 10 days. These exfoliated dead skin cells are replaced by healthier skin allowing the skins own clarity and tightness to resurface.
Dr. Robinsons skill with laser technology and outstanding reputation for using only the safest and highest quality medical grade lasers draws patients throughout all of Oregon and Washington. Cutting edge laser specialties include laser hair removal, spider vein removal and hyperpigmentation treatments for freckling, age and sun spots. Laser procedures are also offered to eradicate fi ne lines, port wine stains, rosacea and hemangiomas.
Dr. Robinson is a graduate of Oregon State University and completed his medical training with honors at Oregon Health Science University. His head and neck surgery residency was completed at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. This was followed by a facial plastic and reconstructive surgery fellowship at U.C. Irvine in Orange, California.
