Specialized Skill, Stunning Results, Zero Regrets

I can’t recommend Dr. Mao enough. I found him through a friend whose facelift results were incredible, and after doing my own research, I understood why he’d even been recommended by other surgeons. I was initially nervous about not going under full anesthesia, but he and his staff reassured me, and my friend’s experience helped too — honestly, I couldn’t tell the difference. It felt just as effective as full anesthesia, with none of the added risk or recovery time. What sets

Obsessed with the Results!

Amazing experience with Dr. Mao! He performed my tip rhinoplasty in-office, and it was quick, painless, and professionally handled. The nurses were so sweet and made me feel right at home. I’m obsessed with the results—it looks even better than I imagined it would. Thank you, Dr. Mao!

Professional, Friendly Office with Affordable Options to Look Years Younger

I visited Dr. Mao's office recently for Sculptra filler and was very impressed. The office is opulent, but the reception is low-key and inviting. Arissa is the PA who spent 90 minutes preparing my face with anesthetic and taking time with precision. There was no pressure or upsell of products. I decided to try Jeuveau as well because I quickly came to trust Arissa. Her medical training made her knowledgeable about facial muscles, plus her genuine friendliness won me over. When

Hands Down Best Facial Plastic Surgeon on the East Coast

I had a DP lower FL and NL with Dr. Mao in early January of this year. He came highly recommended by someone who underwent the same procedures and had an excellent experience; and also by a fellow surgeon very familiar with his credentials, training, technique, and results. From beginning to end, all through the process, Dr. Mao was simply fantastic. His easy-going demeanor belies a technical expertise that is frankly hard to find. Never rushed me, asked the right questions

Best Botox Result Ever!!!!!

I've been getting Botox for over twenty-five years, and this is the first time I've actually been 100% satisfied with the result -- thanks to Arissa S., PA. She has a delightful bedside manner, and she's an expert in her field. Thrilled to have found her and never using anyone else for Botox and fillers. THANK YOU ARISSA!!!

Results Exceeded my Expectations

I had a liquid rhinoplasty done by Arissa Schweiss PA-C. I am beyond impressed and extremely happy with my results. I had this procedure done in the past by a different injector at a medspa and it did not make much of a difference. I could not ask for a better result this time around. Arissa was kind and professional, and explained the procedure in detail, considering that it’s done with filler. I highly recommend going to her if you want a very noticeable, yet natural result

Looking 40 at 50 Years Old!

I had upper eyelid surgery seven years ago after seeing myself on camera and realizing I looked sad, and older than I actually was. Fast forward and I recently had lower blepharoplasty to address fat pads (small bags) under my eyes and I look about 10 years younger. Dr. Mao is a wizard!

Amazing Experience!!!

I recently had a revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Mao, and I could not be more thrilled with the results! A different surgeon did my first surgery, and unfortunately, I was never happy with the outcome, which was very disappointing. I came to Dr. Mao hoping for improvement, but what he delivered exceeded all of my expectations. From the very first consultation, Dr. Mao and Arissa were attentive, honest, and incredibly thorough. He listened carefully to my concerns, explained what

Excellent Experience

Dr. Mao and his team were absolutely wonderful. From the very first appointment to find out what options were available, through the procedure and follow up care, Dr. Mao was professional and patient in answering questions. I was a bit hesitant to undergo plastic surgery because I'm in my late sixties, but after giving it a lot of thought, I decided to go for it. Amanda and Arissa were also great and provided excellent care in the weeks and months following the surgery. The
