Services
Face Lift
Facial rejuvenation surgery addresses sagging skin and deep creases through precise tissue repositioning and skin tightening. Ideal for patients seeking long-lasting correction of jowls, neck laxity, and midface drooping. Combines muscle tightening with skin resurfacing for natural, youthful contours that maintain facial expressiveness.
Blepharoplasty
Customized eyelid surgery corrects upper lid hooding and lower lid bags through targeted fat redistribution and skin excision. Addresses both functional vision obstruction and aesthetic concerns while preserving natural eye expression. Recovery typically involves minimal bruising with long-term rejuvenation effects.
Botox Cosmetic
FDA-approved injectable temporarily relaxes dynamic facial muscles to soften wrinkles and prevent new lines. Administered in precision patterns for natural results that maintain facial mobility. Common treatment areas include frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases with effects lasting 3-4 months.
Liposuction
Minimally invasive fat removal targets localized deposits resistant to diet and exercise. Utilizes tumescent techniques for smooth results and rapid recovery. Common treatment areas include abdomen, flanks, and neck with emphasis on proportion enhancement rather than weight loss.
ThermiTight
Non-surgical skin tightening uses controlled radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production. Treats mild to moderate laxity in face, neck, and body areas. Provides gradual improvement over 3-6 months with no incisions, ideal for early aging signs or post-weight loss contouring.

I am not one to get lots of work done. But the small tweaks and refreshing at the hands of Dr. are almost life changing! Very subtle, you look like your best self. She is an artist, an engineer and of course a highly qualified MD. She also has such a nice way with patients. Very good experience for many years.

Dr Zweiss and her staff are exceptional I would never go to anyone else. Her professionalism and expertise as well as her calm and kind disposition make me feel so comfortable. She is conservative in suggestions and procedures I feel in excellent care with her as should everyone else

Dr. Sweis is also a landlord. I signed a lease with her only to find the unit was in horrible condition upon move-in. There are too many issues to list, but the bottom line is that she refused to have them fixed. Keep in mind, this unit is in Trump tower and is NOT cheap. I don't know what her plastic surgery skills are like, but I sure hope her clients never experience the treatment she has shown me.

Dr. Sweis has the most delicate touch. I've been elsewhere for Botox and it makes a difference. She also has a great eye for balanced natural looking beauty. So happy I found her.
