Dr. Brackup was the first surgeon in the United States to be board certified in both cosmetic surgery and ophthalmology. Along with his busy cosmetic practice, Dr. Brackup is also an Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
From my very first phone call to the office staff to my 1month post op recovery appointment, Dr. Brackup and his entire staff have been informative, attentive and caring. Everyone I have met with during this process has been knowledgeable and thorough, explaining in detail any concerns I have had, as well as ongoing questions. I’m happy to report that my surgery went very smoothly and the results are meeting my expectations 1month post op. It is exactly as Dr. Brackup explained to me in our initial consultation. I understand my results will continue to heal over the next few months. I am very pleased I chose Dr Brackup to perform my procedures.
He is the best. If you want to make sure you gat the results you are looking for go to Dr Brackup. I got lots of compliments on my eyelid surgery and my stitches are not even visible. Surgery on Nov 11. The best decision I have ever made. I would not trust to have any body else do a surgery on my eyelids. Just go for it!!!
Dr. Brackup is an amazing, caring surgeon. He took the time to answer all my questions, explain the procedures fully and how recovery would feel. Anytime after the surgery I could call the office with any questions and they got back to you right away, even on a Sunday night! He is an artist and I am very happy with my results. I had my surgery done 2/2024 and I had been to 3 or 4 Dr's for consults before Dr Brackup. I was not really comfortable with any of them, best way I can explain it is you just know it when you found the right surgeon. There was no hesitation to book the surgery so I knew I found the right surgeon. Highly recommend.
I recently had a lower facelift performed by Dr. Alan Brackup. Before my procedure, I had consultations with many other surgeons. I chose Dr. Brackup for several reasons. What sets him apart from others is his expertise in performing deep plane facelifts. This technique repositions deeper layers of the face, resulting in a more natural look. Dr. Brackuo is not only extremely talented, he is also a warm and caring person. His demeanor immediately puts you at ease and it’s obvious that he takes pride in delivering the best possible outcomes. I love my new, refreshed look and am very happy that I found Dr. Brackup.

After searching for a doctor in my area, I found Dr. Brackup. His education, certifications and experience far exceeded any other doctor. During the initial consultation, we decided on a brow lift, face lift, neck lift and lower eyelids. His entire staff is outstanding. From the nurses, Stacey and Michelle, to the front desk staff, I was surrounded by friendly and knowledgeable people. I have "fantastic" results. I look so natural, but younger and refreshed. Recovery was pain free just like I was told it was going to be. Every step along the way was exactly what I was told it was going to be. Dr. Brackup is the BEST in his field. He does not disappoint. I highly recommend Dr. Brackup for facial cosmetic surgery.
Dr Brackup performed an upper and lower eye blepharoplasty on me in Oct ‘23. The results are amazing and I am really happy that I went with Dr. Brackup. He is very patient and kind in addition to being very talented. His staff is also very accommodating and I felt like I was in the best care throughout my procedure and after. Highly recommend- go with someone who specializes in Oculoplastic Suregery vs a general Cosmetic surgeon if you are considering the same procedure.
Dr. Brackup is not only a A* doctor, but also has an incredible bedside manner. He is skilled, knowledgeable, AND makes you feel so comfortable. I never felt rushed and he answered all my questions. His staff is by far the nicest and most helpful group I have ever worked with. I cannot wait to have my next procedure done. Thank you, Dr. Brackup and staff!
I was tired of looking tired. It seemed like my lower face was melting off into my neck. After interviewing multiple doctors I decided on Dr Brackup. He is phenomenal. 10 days out, very little discomfort. Updated on 31 Mar 2024: Updated on 16 Apr 2024:
I highly recommend Alan B. Brackup, M.D. in Langhorne, PA for any cosmetic surgery procedure. After years of sun, smoking, fighting breast cancer with chemotherapy and dramatic weight loss, my 64-year-old skin looked 10 years older than it should. Having done my research, Dr. Brackup was highly recommended for the procedure I needed. When I arrived for the consultation, the entire staff was warm and welcoming and immediately put me at ease. They were very careful to know what my expectations were and the results they could realistically achieve. Dr. Brackup recommended a full face Hetter chemical peel, concentrating on the deep wrinkles around my mouth. The procedure was performed under general anesthesia at The Surgery Center at Saint Mary's. The nurses at the surgery center were amazing and helped make it a painless experience. Throughout the process, Dr. Brackup and his Staff were always professional, compassionate, sympathetic, and available. Many years were erased from my face. While this may not be the recommendation for everyone, I have complete faith that Dr. Brackup will help you achieve the highest results possible. Thank you so much Dr.Brackup and Staff for helping me with a very much needed mental health boost! The result is phenomenal! #dralanbrackup #hetterpeelAs an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway

Upper eyelid surgery (also called blepharoplasty) is designed to remove unsightly excess skin from the upper eyelids and to re-contour the shape of the eyes for a younger appearance.
You could wait and space them out, but we typically will perform both the Deep Plane Facelift with the fully ablative laser at the same time.
If you always look tired or you can't get rid of the puffy bags below your eyes, a lower eyelid lift, also known as a blepharoplasty, may help to refresh your appearance. In the lower lids, recontouring mainly involves finding a solution for the bulging fat causing the lower lids to look puffy and removing excess skin. The other suggestion would be to go back to the person who did your filler and have them dissolve some of it. I have seen instances where old filler holds on to water and can cause under eye puffiness.
As a standard we use a medrol dose pack after our deep plane facelifts. Within our practice I find that it greatly reduces swelling and helps the healing process. My website describes the deep plane approach in more detail.
Great question and thank you for uploading photos. Let me start by saying that you have aged well. Based on your comment that you don't like your jowls I would say you could go either way. Facelift or fillers to "mask" the jowls. One thing that fillers will do if you keep putting them in that area is they can widen and square off the jawline. Again they aren't correcting the problem, they are just masking it. Hope this helps.
