Welcome Alexandra Braunstein, M.D.!



Please join all of us at The Eye Care & Surgery Center in welcoming Dr. Alexandra Braunstein to our practice. Dr. Braunstein is a Reconstructive & Cosmetic Eye Plastic Surgeon and will serve patients requiring eyelid and orbital reconstruction after trauma, eyelid skin cancer or ocular tumor surgery, minimally invasive endoscopic tear duct surgery and repair of eyelids that unnaturally turn inward or outward. She has a special interest in helping patients interested in blepharoplasty “eyelifts” or cosmetic eyelid surgery for baggy, puffy eyelids and brow and forehead surgery to lift troublesome areas.

At The Eye Care & Surgery Center in Westfield, Dr. Braunstein will provide in office, “no downtime” procedures for facial rejuvenation for men and women using non surgical treatments & injections to minimize or eliminate the effects of aging. These include treatment for eyelid bags, creases, folds, fine lines and wrinkles. Her approach for women is to restore their natural, refreshed, youthful appearance by gently tightening, volumizing and lifting the delicate eye, facial features and chin. For men, Dr. Braunstein strives to maintain an energetic, masculine but softened ruggedness. Depending on your areas of concern this may require BOTOX® injections alone or in combination with gel fillers and tightening injections such as JuvĂ©derm, Restylane®, Radiesse® or Kybella® to create the desired result.
