General Practitioners

Medical Weight Loss
Abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck, removes excess skin and fat around the abdomen. This procedure is ideal for those who can't quite seem to lose the extra weight around their midsection after diet and exercise, those who have been pregnant, and those who have recently undergone significant weight loss. Through the skilled hands of our surgeons, you can achieve a firmer, more sculpted abdomen.
Emergency Care
Dr. Whitney received his Bachelor of Science degree Summa Cum Laude from the University of Massachusetts in 1979. He was a member of the Buncke Microsurgical Society in 1989, the Howard J. Nafziger Surgical Society in 1991, and the International Telemedicine Society in 1995. In 2000, Dr. Whitney was a guest manuscript reviewer for the publication Regulatory Peptides. At the Lahey Clinic in Burlington, Massachusetts, Dr. Whitney served on many committees, including the Task Force-Ambulatory Care Center from 1997 to 1999, the Tissue and Trauma Committees from 1996 to 1999, the Antibiotics Subcommittee of Infectious Diseases from 1994 to 2000, the Urgent Care Committee from 1994 to 1996, and the Medical Dictation Committee from 1993 to 1994.
Infectious Diseases

Pregnancy

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Whether the defect is congenital or acquired, plastic surgeons can usually restore comfort, mobility, and normal appearance to patients with hand problems. Acquired defects include carpal tunnel syndrome and other painful conditions caused by pressure on the nerves (usually at the wrist or elbow); trigger fingers, a condition caused by swelling of a flexor tendon in the hand; ganglion cysts, a benign cystic growth; and scar contracture, which occurs when a wound or burn on the hand heals poorly and forms scar tissue that curls the fingers or restricts mobility. Dupuytren's disease causes a similar problem of hand contracture.

Ultrasound
At Plastic Surgery Bellingham, we use the LipoSelection by Vaser method for our liposuction procedures. LipoSelection by Vaser uses ultrasound technology to gently separate fatty tissue before it is removed. LipoSelection specifically targets body fat with minimal effect on other important body tissue, such as nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. The ultrasound bounces off these healthy, vital tissues, leaving them fundamentally intact as it safely dissolves and removes softer fat cells. Since LipoSelection is gentler and more precise than traditional liposuction procedures, patients usually recover in a matter of days rather than weeks.

Reconstructive Surgery
Dr. Whitney’s research interests include hand and microsurgery, stroke treatments involving the cytokine influences on reperfusion injury, and the applications of virtual reality and interactive technology in anatomy and reconstructive surgery.

Botox
BOTOX ® Cosmetic is a popular choice for anyone who wants to reduce wrinkles and enhance natural facial features. This simple procedure is also effective for elevating the brow and creating a fuller upper lip. BOTOX ® Cosmetic is a purified chemical that is injected into the skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and to help restore your youthful appearance quickly, safely, and easily. To learn more about BOTOX ® Cosmetic, please contact us today.
Eyelid Surgery
Liposuction
While sticking to a healthy diet and a regular exercise regimen are the best ways to lose weight, many people just can't seem eliminate to fat pockets and cells from problem areas. This is particularly true for the legs, buttocks, hips, stomach, arms, chin, neck, and ankles. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that targets these problem areas and leaves your body more sculpted and toned.
Breast Augmentation
We can create stunning, transformative results with our experienced surgeons and state-of-the-art technology. This patient underwent breast augmentation to enhance her bustline. The results are fuller, natural-looking breasts.
Breast Reduction
Neck and back pain, bra strap indentations on the shoulders, and general discomfort are all unfortunate realities for women who have exceptionally large, heavy breasts. Oversized breasts can make a woman feel self-conscious and embarrassed as well as physically uncomfortable. Breast reduction is a reconstructive/cosmetic procedure during which the breasts are made smaller, lighter, and more proportionate to the body.
Breast Lift
Full, shapely breasts can make any woman feel more feminine, beautiful, and secure. We believe that every woman deserves to love her body; that's why we have mastered the art of breast augmentation. Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to increase and enhance the size and shape of a woman's breast. The end result is a more curvaceous, sexy bustline and a natural, sculpted look. For added benefit, you can also opt for a breast lift in conjunction with the augmentation.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction is commonly performed on women who have had a mastectomy (removal of the breast due to cancer or a precancerous condition) or who have breast deformities. Many women feel very insecure or self-conscious about the appearance of their breasts following mastectomy. Breast reconstruction allows their natural curves to be restored and can drastically improve quality of life.
Plastic Surgery
Welcome to Plastic Surgery Bellingham. At Plastic Surgery Bellingham, we are dedicated to providing our patients with close personal attention, superb customer service and advanced technology in order to meet each individual’s unique needs and desires. We are proud to offer an array of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures performed by solidly trained and experienced surgeons. For your comfort, safety and best possible results, our clinical staff is composed entirely of registered nurses and we perform all surgical procedures at accredited facilities.
Blepharoplasty
You can’t stop the clock, but you can reset it. Blepharoplasty reverses the signs of aging by eliminating droopiness above the eye or puffiness below, leaving you with a natural, youthful appearance.
Abdominoplasty
If your abdominal area has not responded to diet and exercise alone, an abdominoplasty, or “tummy tuck” may be the answer. Abdominoplasty is ideal for those who want the appearance of a firm, smooth and sculpted abdomen. We can tighten the muscles of your abdominal wall to leave you looking trimmer and more fit.
Scar Revision
Many factors determine the severity of scarring: the size of a wound, its depth, the blood supply to the area, and skin tone. No surgeon can completely remove a scar, but the appearance of most scars can be greatly improved. Scar revision is a surgical procedure used to improve the appearance of scars that do not respond to cortisone drugs, steroids, or skin gels. Several techniques are available, including excision, dermabrasion, and laser treatment. Please contact us to learn more about scar revision or to set up an exploratory consultation with one of our expert plastic surgeons.
Gynecomastia
Many men feel self-conscious about extra fat and tissue located in their chest area. Fortunately, this condition (known as gynecomastia) can be treated with a procedure sometimes referred to as "male breast reduction." Two variations of this procedure may be used, depending on your needs. If fat, skin, and glandular tissue need to be removed, the procedure will be done using a scalpel or scalpel-liposuction approach. For this procedure the incision can usually be placed discreetly in the underarm area or around the areola (the dark area surrounding the nipple). If only fatty tissue needs to be removed, the procedure can be done with liposuction alone, which entails a much smaller incision. For further information regarding gynecomastia and possible solutions, please contact our practice today.
