With over 30 years of experience, his success is rooted in a deep connection to art and beauty, enabling him to achieve natural, age-appropriate results.

He pursued excellence through global training, studying under world-renowned Aesthetic surgery expert, Dr. Ivo Pitanguy, in Rio de Janeiro. His meticulous attention to detail and artistry have earned Dr. Brandow a reputation for delivering results that enhance each patient’s unique beauty. His compassionate approach ensures that every individual’s concerns are addressed and they feel cared for throughout their transformation. Many patients refer to Dr. Brandow as their “Age Manager” because he guides them through the aging process over the decades of their lives. He will advise them when to undergo surgery or when to pursue more subtle, less invasive treatments such as Botox, fillers, lasers or peels. During his training in Brazil, he realized that subtle and discreet, minor procedures help patients to look fresh and natural while avoiding the stigma of looking “overdone”. At his Main Line, PA and Somers Point, NJ offices, Dr. Brandow integrates cutting-edge procedures and state-of-the-art techniques to refine the standards in cosmetic surgery. He has been featured in publications such as Cosmopolitan, Life & Style, In Touch, Allure, and Self, and has shared his research with peers in the field.
