All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Lower Eyelid surgery
My Surgical experience was wonderful. I look years younger just three weeks post-op. My confidence has increased. Worth every penny.

Outstanding results, great patient care
I had rhytidectomy done a couple of months ago and couldn’t be happier with the results. Dr Brackup and the entire staff have been very attentive and considerate, provided comprehensive information, and checked on me regularly. I was grateful Dr Brackup explained the results are optimal at my age (~50) rather than waiting for later.

VERY HAPPY WITH RESULTS
I had upper/lower eyelid blepharoplasty with lower lid laser skin resurfacing. Everyone in the office is very professional and friendly. They are very prompt with your appointments, no unnecessary waiting. I just had my last follow up appointment yesterday and I am completely amazed and happy with results. The took the final picture and placed it next to the before picture and I was surprised how much of a difference there was. It was hard for me to honestly see it because I have been dealing with being told how tired I look, how unattractive I look and how angry I look due to the circles under my eyes since I was 15. I am 61 now so my brain is so conditioned to believe I look a certain way. Recovery was not bad and Dr Brackup and the staff were always available if I had any questions or needed to see them. Highly recommend. Also, they are truthful with you about the results you can expect based on you, your skin, your circumstances and expectations.

Amazing Experience
I just got back from my 1 week post- op appointment with Dr Brackup. I had a facelift and fully ablative CO2 laser done. I can't even begin to explain what an amazing experience it was from the time I made my appointment until today. Besides being extremely pleased with the work so far ( and I won't really be able to see true results for a while ) I found everyone in the office kind, knowledgeable and so willing to help in any way. I researched for months before I found Dr Brackup and drove 2 1/2 hours for my visits. He is an expert in his field with a wonderful demeanor. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr Brackup ands staff for any procedure you are looking to have done. He is worth a drive no matter where you come from.

Highly Recommended!
I recently underwent a plastic surgery procedure, and I cannot emphasize enough how grateful and satisfied I am with the services provided by Dr. Brackup and the office staff. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, every aspect of my experience was handled with the utmost professionalism, care, and attention to detail. Prior to and on the day of my surgery, Dr. Brackup constantly communicated with me, alleviating any anxiety or apprehension I may have had. The results were incredible, surpassing my expectations and significantly enhancing my self-confidence. I am eternally grateful to Dr. Brackup and his very capable team!

Thumbs Up
Dr. Brackup is a terrific plastic surgeon and runs a top notch office. I had a full facelift and laser done on my eyelids. These procedures are not without some recovery time but Dr. Brackup and staff are competent and supportive and offer whatever help you need along the way. I haven't seen a more efficient office and I'm in the medical field.

Grateful and Happy Lower Facelift
I met with six highly regarded surgeons and I liked and respected all of them. Eventually, I chose Dr. Alan Brackup who has three board certifications and a very impressive educational background (Stanford) along with forty verified five star reviews on Realself. When I went to the initial consultation, I was pleased to learn that Dr. Brackup had worked consistently with the same group of people for many years. His surgeries are performed at Saint Mary Medical Center and I also found that this hospital had excellent reviews. I expressed my fear that my results would in some way look unnatural. Dr. Brackup explained in some detail why this would not happen to me. I am now three months post and I am very grateful and happy with my results. The look is completely natural. Dr. Brackup and his team were fabulous!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart
Dr Brackup Is amazing. He has done hair replacement surgery on me TWICE!!!!!! I HAVE HAIR! He and his staff are so friendly and professional yet everyone is so down to earth and kind truly caring about you when you walk thru their doors. They take the time to explain things to you. They always call you back. I can’t say enough kind things about them. They made my experience so much better than I ever imagined

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!

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!

Two hours of my life wasted. Ended my consultation with Dr. Brackup in 15 seconds. Invited his nurse to my initial consultation. When I asked him to give me some one-on-one time to discuss my medical info due to me being uncomfortable discussing it in front of some one else, he refused. So, I got up and left. In my opinion, if even at this early point your doctor refuses to listen to your concerns and does not care how you feel, you would NOT want to trust this kind of person with your health. Arrogance does not make you a true professional. Avoid.

Dr. Brackup did my facelift including fat transfer in July 2020. I’m 68 and had deep jowl lines and sagging skin. I could not be happier with the procedure and the amazing results. My downtime and bruising were minimal and I looked good enough to see my young granddaughters just eight days after surgery. It was so much easier than I expected! And I’m so happy with the results – just wish I didn’t have to wear a Covid mask!!!! Dr. Brackup and his staff are the best and I highly recommend his practice if you are considering cosmetic surgery or other procedures.

I was told by my ophthalmologist that for my vision to be corrected that I needed Blepharoplasty. So, what started with my investigating my eliminating excess tissue from my upper eyelids resulted in my decision to have both the upper and lower procedures done. The decision was made easy by the professional staff from the reception area to Dr Brackup. Everyone in the practice listened and answered all questions. Dr. Brackup while empathic and compassionate made me feel comfortable from decision to completion. Dr. Brackup is highly skilled and achieved great cosmetic results. While healing the proactive follow up was helpful and appreciated. I would unconditionally recommend Dr. Brackup and his entire organization to anyone.

Amazing results...should have done this long ago! No more "you look tired" comments, now it's "you look healthy, what have you been doing". Builds self-esteem. I am pleased that I went to Dr. Brackup for the procedure, he delivered what we discussed. He was highly recommended to me and I highly recommend you consult with him and his staff if you're thinking about a procedure.
