Lower face lift and neck lift - I hated looking in the mirror and seeing my sagging jowls - I could not be happier with my results! I hated looking in the mirror and seeing my sagging jowls. I met with Dr Brackup and we decided to do a lower facelift and neck lift. Im not even 8 weeks out and I am so pleased with the results! The sagging is gone! Im really happy Dr Brackup suggested doing my neck as well. While it wasnt my main focus it needed to be done and it just made the results that much better! The first week of recovery is a bit tough, but not bad at all and well worth it once you get through it. I still have numbness by my ears and along my jaw line but it has gotten considerably better and I know that in the months to come it will continue to subside. Dr Brackup and his Staff are the best. The staff is there for you, do their best to make sure all your needs are met and questions answered. Dr Brackup is THE BEST at what he does! I only wish I had gotten my eyelids done at the same time. Im now looking to schedule that procedure for later this year! More
From Start to Finish All Went Great - I was nervous to take the plunge into having a facelift but my friend, who used Dr. Brackup and looked amazing afterwards, convinced me to talk to him. So I did. It was a great experience. He explained everything very calmly and clearly and eased my apprehensions. I was given prescriptions after the surgery to help the recovery and the facelift came out great and met all my expectations. If I could give Dr. Brackup a “10” I would! More
I'M BACK!! I Look Like Myself Again (And Not Grandma) - Unbelievable! I had had my upper eyes done years ago (they still look wonderful) but my jowls were drooping and I was beginning to look like my grandma so I booked a lower facelift with Dr Brackup. I knew him and his staff would give me the best advice and care. Nine weeks later, I look like I did years ago. I catch myself looking at myself in the mirror and saying " well there you are!" I can not say enough good things about Dr Brackup or his staff, especially Michele. If you want to find the true you again, Dr B can help. More
Mini Facelift and Brow Lift- He is the Best! - I cannot tell you how happy I am. After multiple chin surgeries to fix a botched chin surgery years ago, I had lagging skin. I researched the heck out of doctors and had 4 consults. I decided to go with Dr Brackup and thank God I did. He is patient, understanding, and thoughtful. He made me aware of the entire procedure and expectations. My results are exactly what I had hoped. Michelle, his nurse, is one of a kind. She sees patients in clinic with him so you get to know her, but she is also in surgery with him-which really made me feel at ease the day of my procedure. I’m only two weeks out, and I already feel like my old self again. I can’t thank Dr Brackup enough. More
Exceeded my Expectations! - In August of 2017 I had a facelift, browlift and eyelid surgery. From the moment I entered Dr. Brackup’s office, I was treated like family by a professional, caring and compassionate staff. Dr. Brackup listened to my questions & addressed all of my concerns-I was confident that I would be pleased with the “new me.”Dr. Brackup did not disappoint. In just a few days I could see amazing results - I was truly a more improved version of myself. To this day, friends can be sitting across a table from me and say “you look great - if I ever decide to go, I’m going to your doctor!”Dr. Brackup is a brilliant and gifted surgeon. That combined with his warmth and caring manner make him a GEM in the medical field. I highly recommend this practice. Thank you Dr. Brackup! More
Made the Perfect Choice. - In late January, 2020 had a lower lid blepharoplasty, facelift and CO2 laser/hetter peel. From my very 1st visit til my final post-op, I was surrounded by the most educated/informative/caring staff.Dr. Brackup is "brilliant", highly educated with two Board Certifications, easy to talk to, soft-spoken, thoughtful and kind. I highly recommend the practice. My results after 6 months are truly remarkable..better than I ever imagined. More
Fabulous Facelift - I would give Dr. Brackup 10 stars if they allowed me to. I can't praise him enough for the job he did on my face. Thank you Dr. Brackup. You are amazing.Not only is he an excellent doctor, he is a nice and caring man. His staff is equally as amazing. More
I Look Like I Did 15 Years Ago! - Doctor Brackup is so nice! Of course, that is in addition to being a fabulous doctor. I saw Dr Brackup for a neck and lower facelift . I was concerned about looking too stretched or not like myself. Dr Brackup explained his methods. He was clearly very sensitive to my concerns . He made some suggestions and assured me that I would just look like myself, younger. He did an excellent job. People tell me that I look thinner, less tired, or they cant figure out why I look better. Dr Brackup is always available to address concerns and questions. I trust him and his wonderful staff totally and I wikll con tin ue to use and recommend him More
Facelift at 72 - At 72 I was tired of avoiding mirrors. I wanted a facelift but was hesitant because of my age. Dr. Brackup performed eyelid surgery on my eyes 30 years ago and they still look great. I knew both he and his staff were the best and I would be in good hands. He is an artist and the outcome is great. Don’t hesitate because of age. The compliments I receive from friends are endless.

You are in the best care with Dr Brackup and staff - I was unhappy with the sagging skin on my neck and face and had been looking for a solution for a long time. I was reluctant to go "under the knife" -- it just seemed so frightening. I also struggled with the stigma surrounding a face lift. But then I met Dr Brackup and his nurse Michele. They both have a way of making you feel comfortable and cared for. Dr Brackup listened to my concerns and assured me he could give me the results I was looking for. He kept telling me how happy I would be. I felt immediate trust. Michele is a gem, and always there to answer questions or address concerns. Fast forward to 4 months post op, and I am thrilled with the results. Before surgery I felt the reflection in the mirror was not an accurate representation of how I felt inside. Now I feel they match. I see the best reflection of me. If you have ever considered this type of surgery, please go see Dr Brackup. You will not be disappointed. He and his staff are top notch. Not only is he extremely talented, he is warm and gracious. He's simply the best! More
Facelift/Browlift - I'm 62 years old and was watching my jawline, cheeks, and eyelids start to sink. I went to Dr. Brackup after hearing rave reviews about his skill from my hair stylist. The doctor and his staff could not have been more helpful and open in answering my questions and concerns. The procedure--a facelift and browlift--was done six months ago, and I am very happy with it. The result is "refreshed" rather than "changed." No one knows about it outside of my family, not even my close friends. I just had my 40th college reunion with 400 classmates. No one gave me a weird look as if they were wondering what I had done--people just kept telling me how youthful I was. I'm grateful to Dr. Brackup for his generous, caring personality and close attention in the months following surgery, as well as the professional, organized, friendly people who run his office. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I plan to re-visit the office many times in the coming years for minor "maintenance." Bravo, Dr. Brackup and staff!

New Life Starts ! - I’m a physician and a patient. Dr. Brackup first repaired my upper eyelid on one side and then a few years later the other because of ocular myasthenia gravis. I have multiple autoimmune diseases. He did a wonderful job and was so kind and gentle. The result of being ill and a long a contentious divorce left my face looking ravaged and at least 15 years older than I was. I never thought I would ever get plastic surgery ( I have enough doctors in my life) . But my face had become a disability for me. I didn’t think I could start my new life looking so old . So I consulted plastic surgeons close to where I lived in Philadelphia that Dr. Brackup recommended. They were so cold and judgmental. I knew that the only doctor I could trust was Dr. Brackup . He did a facelift and laser resurfacing. Everyone says I look at least 15 years younger! The procedure wasn’t as bad as I anticipated. His protocol gets your body prepared for the stress it’s about to face. The staff at Dr. Brackup’s Office are wonderful, they are kind and generous with their time. I feel so much better about myself. His prices are so reasonable, I was surprised that were so inexpensive compared to others. Dr. Brackup cares about who are you as a person and what you are trying to achieve with the procedure. He and his staff fare always available if you have any questions. They provide excellent after skin care advise and products that are reasonable priced compared to what other places charge. I can recommend Dr. Brackup without hesitation. He is worth any distance to travel for. He is the very best at what he does and perhaps most importantly he is a wonderful person. More

72 Year Old Patient - Newtown, PA - Last month (9/6/16) I had my second procedure with Dr. Alan Brackup. I am a 72 year old woman and had my first procedure - a full facelift - with Dr. Brackup when I was in my 50's, just the right time to check the effects of gravity to my face and neck. I was totally thrilled with the outcome. It was still me, just better in every way. I do have to admit that for all of those years I enjoyed putting on my makeup and hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances.In my 60's I had serious health issues which brought more aging and worry lines to my face. So last month, at age 72, I decided to see Dr. Brackup once again to see if he could help me feel better about myself. He chose a procedure called an S-lift which is a mini face lift to the lower area of the face. I no longer have the jowls and "turkey neck" that to me is a "red flag" for an older woman. He also suggested a laser procedure to take care of the "worry" lines around my mouth and between my brows. Once again I am thrilled with the outcome.I high recommend this wonderful Doctor and his caring staff. Not only do I feel happy about my outside appearance, but I also feel much happier in the "inside" as well. To me, not only is Dr. Brackup a fantastic and experienced Plastic Surgeon, but a Master Artist as well. More

64 Years Old with Turkey Neck - Langhorne, PA - After many years of looking in the mirror to put my makeup on, I would always focus on my turkey neck, jowels and downturned smile. After seeing Dr. Brackup for many years for Botox, I trusted him to do a great job and he didn't let me down. What wonderful and caring staff. I wish I would have done this sooner. What a difference. Very little pain afterward with wonderful follow-up and care.Updated on 23 Jul 2014:I've looked in the mirror for about the past 10 years and watched as everything started to sag. My face wasn't too bad but the skin on my neck started with lines and then sagging and overlapping. It was the first thing that caught your attention in photos. After I found Dr. Brackup, I started with just Botox from my forehead. The doctor and his staff were wonderful. Three things were stopping me from having the face lift. Pain, cost and length of recovery. When I finally had the money, I spoke to the doctor and staff. To my surprise, many of his staff had face lifts so they were able to tell me their personal stories. I finally made my decision to go forward with the face lift. I was very excited at the potential results. To my surprise, there was very little pain afterwards because most of the nerves in your face are numb from the surgery. I didn't go out for about 7 to 10 days but I had very little bruising. The stiches were so well hidden, no one even noticed. I wished I had done this 10 years ago. I am very happy with the results and wouldn't hesitate to have Dr. Brackup perform any additional surgeries. More
63 Years Old Botox - Newton, PA - Needed to feel better about my appearance and felt that botox would be helpful. My friend had a facelift done by Alan B. Brackup, M.D. and it was wonderful so I went to see him. I have had botox in the past by some very well known doctors and never have I had the result I had when Dr. Brackup treated me. He and his staff are professional, friendly and above all they want their patients to have optimum results. I know I will be visiting Dr. Brackup's office in the near future. R. Somers More

Looking Good at Fifty - Langhorne, PA - Pure and simple, my motivation was my mirror. I did not like what I was seeing, sagging jowls, chin, etc. I went to see Dr. Brackup based upon some references from fellow co-workers. My biggest fear was that I was going to get a bad facelift because I have seen so many famous people that looked really bad. From the day I walked in for the first visit to the night following the the surgery, all went well and exceeded my expectations. More
Looking Good at Fifty - Langhorne, PA - I was extremely nervous about getting a facelift although I knew that I wanted to have the procedure for more than a year. Dr. Brackup had come highly recommend so I took the first step. I never went to any other surgeon simply because I felt comfortable in his presence. Dr. Brackup was sincere, knowledgable, friendly and compassionate (not to mention experienced and reputable) I also was exceptionally pleased with the surgery center and the staff who prepared me for surgery and the nurse who attended to my needs after the surgery. Dr. Brackup and St. Mary's Hospital in Langhore, PA are in my opinion a 5 star class act! More

Best Decision I Ever Made - Langhorne, PA - At age 58, I was getting increasingly despondent about the loss of my youthful good looks. Upon the recommendation of a friend who had her eyes "done," I made an appointment to consult with Dr. Alan B. Brackup, located in Langhorne, Pa. about getting a lower facelift. Dr. Brackup's explanation of the pre-, post-, and actual surgical procedures were comprehensive and I found him and his staff to be very affable and compassionate. Although nervous about it, I found that after having this consultation and due to the care that his office staff took with me days prior to the procedure, my anxiety level was greatly reduced. Just days after the surgery, I was already seeing a vast improvement in my appearance and was able to get back to a minimally normal routine. Now, at about four months post-op, I am looking years and years younger. Dr. Brackup restored my former good looks and I couldn't be happier. There are no "tell-tale" signs of surgery and I am feeling so much better about myself. This man is an artist! If any of you who live in this area are considering turning the clock back, go to see Dr. Brackup. He will get that done! More
