I wanted to have my eyelids fixed as it was impairing my vision. I had a few doctors approved to me through my insurance, as it was a real medical issue. I opted to not let my insurance pay and I googled the top surgeon in the Philadelphia area. I found Dr. Brackup. Dr. Brackup insisted that there was no way to fix my eyelid folds without doing a temporal lift. I was so upset and also scared to do this procedure but I trusted and believed I’m him. I went ahead and paid the extra $3,000 dollars to do as he said and I was so upset about the results. Not only was this temporal Lift incredibly painful, my forehead is now full of sagging and loose skin that I never had before. My eyelid fold did not get repaired as he had suggested, but now I have one saggy eyelid and a saggy forehead and temporal sagging the hat never existed before. I went back to the office shortly after surgery and Dr. Brackup was not available due to his own health issues and I saw another doctor that specializes in Botox. He had suggested to me that I get a brow lift. The nurse quickly looked at me with concern as she had been in the operating room with me during my eyebrow/temporal lift just months prior. My heart fell to the ground as I had just been through so much pain in recovery, as her heart fell to the ground knowing that I had an Los Angeles specialist tell me I needed the very thing I was given. I felt so betrayed at that moment. I was lied to, a huge expense and now I actually do need an eyebrow lift when I didn’t need I e at all prior to this surgery. Matter of fact before this surgery, my forehead had not one wrinkle. I was suppose to get my “after” photos done, but the doctor is not interested in doing so. When I addressed to him that my forehead looks really bad since surgery, he said, “let me give you Botox to fix the problem” , “come back in a month and we can do your “after” photos. I look at myself everyday in the mirror and I want to cry at the fact that he didn’t fix my eyelid fold, and the fact that I now have 5 scars on my head, numbness in those areas and permanent hair loss. I wanted to write this review because I don’t want to his to happen to anyone else. Dr. Brackup specializes in eyes, not forehead lifts. If he tries to talk you into plastic surgery......say NO! I wish I did! More
