Oculoplastics Testimonials: What Our Patients Have to Say

In July 2013, I had a bilateral brow lift performed by Dr. Kostick. The results were amazing. I immediately could see clouds and trees without tilting my head, and my family and friends said I look 10 years younger. One of the best results of my surgery was my vision improved to better than 20/20. I would absolutely do this procedure again.
