Good for eyes, not for a face/neck lift. He is a nice guy and I know he wants his patients to be happy. But as I was told by another known surgeon who looked him up, he should not be doing facelifts. My neck is worse than before the surgery (the primary reason I did surgery), the sides of my face are uneven, my smile slightly uneven. The job he did on my eyes was quite good. He gave me more upper lid than I think I ever had and having your eyes done really makes a big difference.
In short, I really like Dr. Schwarcz but if it is a facelift that you want, go elsewhere. Go to him for your eyes.

I asked if he could correct my dark circles and he said yes. He filled them but the whole time he was in a rush. He didn’t mark my face or measure it even though I told him my cheeks were not even, two different heights and he barely looked at it and said the filler would correct that too. After, it looked good for a few days when it was still swollen. Once the swelling went down it looked basically the same and still my cheeks were uneven which was so important to me to fix. I came back in and he said my dark circles are pigmentation not hollowness- but he never said this before filling my eyes and charging me a ton for ZERO improvement. He is not nice and totally dishonest!!!!!!!

He is not skillful of doing filler. He did in a rush with no careful pre design of anatomy of the patient face. The injection caused two sides of my face cheek asymmetric. One side had more. I would never recommend anyone to go to him for fillers. Because the first thing out of his mouth is he can't do tear trough.

Outstanding and caring doctor. Beautiful, natural results with cosmetic surgery, and I can not say enough about his concern and professionalism with an urgent medical issue. I believe I received the absolute best care under both circumstances.

Dr. Schwarcz listened to what I wanted to achieve with facial fillers, then did his magic on my face which took years off of my appearance. I'm VERY happy with the results! I also greatly appreciated Dr. Schwarcz's methodical style and sensitivity to my comfort throughout the injection process. I'm especially impressed with the filler he did around my eyes and forehead which are difficult areas to achieve natural, smooth results. Dr. Schwarcz is definitely among the best.

I cannot say enough about Dr, Schwarcz.. I had a very complicated eye situation . He took so much time, care and precision to help me achieve the result i wanted, Her offered several different options for me and explained everything in detail. I couldn't have been in better hands. I have also never had an easier quicker healing time and less pain. He is a specialist in facial and eye, with extra certifications in Occulosurgery in addition general plastic surgery .

I went to dr. Schwarcz for a drooping eyelid on one eye which interfered with my vision, slammed shut when my contact was out, and needed to be hand opened when i woke up in the morning. He did a Mullerectomy, which leaves zero scars, was a breeze procedure and blew everyone away with how he matched my drooping eye to my other natural eye. Now the muscle open and closes normally again.
The entire experience was amazing and the staff was terrific. He is the real deal.

Rude staff indeed. And the Dr. seemed more interested in my money than my satisfaction. He did not explain to me that a filler, when injected, can actually lead to some loss of the existing collagen and that the material may move. When I returned to complain that my under eye area actually looked worse we had an argument and he told me to read the release he had me signed on the day of the procedure. The loss of collagen is indeed mentioned in the release. I thought he was unprofessional.
