Cosmetic Surgery Specialists was founded by Dr.Alan Brackup. Located on the campus of St. Mary Medical Center in Langhorne, PA, we offer a specialized palette of cometic and reconstructive plastic surgery procedures. The founding principle behind the practice was to offer only procedures that we are confident can achieve the best possible outcomes, with the least risk for our patients. Ours in the opposite of the "jack-of-all-trades" practice.

If you choose to have a procedure perfomed here, you can rest assured that it will be performed with the highest level of technical and artistic skill, coupled with a genuine concern for our patients' safety and satisfaction. Our philosophy of patient care has allowed us to garner numerous "Best Plastic Surgeon" awards, with patients flying in from around the world. Our dedication to our patients is perhaps best exemplified by our volumes of testimonial letters of appreciation. A selection of these are presented on our website.

Our office is located in the beautiful new St. Clare medical building at St. Mary. One floor away is the fully certified Ambulatory Surgery Center at St. Mary Medical Center. This spectacular new facility offers the best of both worlds; a personalized and discrete surgical experience, with the safety provided by a major medical center.
