I recently had a liquid rhinoplasty performed by Arissa and couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the initial consultation, she took the time to listen to all of my concerns and truly understood the areas I wanted to improve. She explained the procedure thoroughly, answered all of my questions, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. The results exceeded my expectations. She did an amazing job creating a natural, balanced look and had great attention to detail. I also truly appreciated her level of care after the procedure as she was quick to respond whenever I had questions. I highly recommend her!!

I went to see Arissa for lip filler . It was definitely a process as my lips can be challenging . She was beyond kind every time . She was so professional. Her work came out amazing . I will definitely be going back to her . And I’m so grateful I found her . Her only goal is to see the client satisfied. Highly recommend her as an injector.

I had a great experience with Dr. Mao and his team. I’m very pleased with the results of my otoplasty revision and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. The results look natural and exactly what I was hoping for. From the consultation through recovery, Dr. Mao and his staff were professional, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Amanda and Arissa were especially kind and supportive throughout the process. They took the time to answer my questions, explain the process, and made me feel comfortable throughout the experience. The office was responsive and supportive, which made recovery feel much easier. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Mao to anyone considering otoplasty or revision surgery. I’m very happy with my decision and grateful for the care I received.

I can't say enough great things about Arissa! I was nervous about getting a liquid rhinoplasty, but she immediately made me feel comfortable and confident in the process. She really listened to what I wanted and took such a thoughtful, detailed approach. The results are exactly what I hoped for-natural, balanced, and beautifully done. Arissa has very artistic eye and incredible attention to detail. And this was exactly what I needed! Thank you Arissa!!!

Arrisa is absolutely the best. She gave me a liquid rhinoplasty and the results were outstanding. I’ve also had Botox and fillers done with her and at 50 years old Ive never felt more beautiful. She is so friendly and makes me feel so comfortable. VERY HAPPY!

Meg Bernardini

Dr. Mao was straightforward when consulting and scheduling my rhinoplasty. I worked closely with PA Arissa Schweiss who made me incredibly comfortable before, during, and after my procedure. Every question I had was answered and my anxieties were put at ease with Arissa's knowledge and attentiveness. I am happy with my results and wish I had done the procedure sooner.

Caroline Goldberg

I got chin liposuction with doctor Mao And I’m loving my results two years later! I look absolutely snatched. He handled it so well and made me feel so comfortable. He also has a great sense of humor! I also get my Botox and filler done with Arissa, I love that diva so much she does such an amazing job as well. She’s very honest with me And always make sure I look beautiful and natural. I always go back to her every couple months for a touchup A lot of surgeons or aestheticians only care about making money, but these two care about genuinely making their patients look and feel their best.

Jackie Clover

I got a liquid rhinoplasty from Arissa and she was AMAZING!! Couldn't recommend enough. I didn't know what to expect but she made me feel comfortable and confident through the whole process. She is kind as well as professional. I will be returning to her for any filler I get in the future!

Dr. Mao is truly an artist! I recently had a tip rhinoplasty at his office and the experience was seamless from start to finish. The nurses were so kind and made sure I felt comfortable and supported throughout the entire process. I was surprised at how quick and painless the procedure felt. I am absolutely thrilled with my new look; it exceeded all my expectations. Huge thank you to Dr. Mao and his wonderful team!

Jen Prue

I cannot say enough amazing things about Arissa! From the moment I walked in, she made me feel completely comfortable and heard. I got a liquid rhinoplasty with her and the results are absolutely BEAUTIFUL. She has such a talented eye and truly understands facial balance and harmony. She took her time, explained everything, and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. I am beyond grateful for her skill and artistry. She enhanced my features so naturally while still giving me the change I wanted. Arissa is not only incredibly talented, but also so kind and professional. I trust her completely and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!

Natalie Violette

After a lot of research, consultations with numerous plastic surgeons, and conversations with friends who have had work done, I was lucky enough to have come across Dr. Mao - referred by a fellow surgeon familiar with his work and credentials, and highly recommended by a family member who had amazing results with him. I had a lower face and neck lift, under local anesthesia and mild sedation - an incredibly relaxed, easy, painless process. I am thrilled not only with the outcome but also with the whole experience, from beginning to end. Dr. Mao took time to actually discuss, at length, what I wanted done. He understood the results I was hoping for and put me at ease from the very start. His LPN Amanda (truly an exceptionally talented and supportive professional) and the rest of his team were across the board kind, knowledgeable and always available. I confess that I was nervous about doing anything to my face, which is why I waited so long. Now my only regret is having wasted so much time worrying about what I would look like. Dr. Mao’s work has restored the refreshed, youthful look I wanted. Best decision I ever made.

Olinda Azevedo

Arrissa performed my procedure at Dr.Maos office and I could not be happier with my outcome. she made me feel calm, comfortable, and relax from the beginning to finish. She explained everything clearly and professionally her kindness really stood out, The results over exceeded my expectations and I left there happy and confident. I am extremely happy with Arrissa and couldn’t be more grateful for my life changing experience. I highly recommend her thank you Arrissa!!!!! Your the Best , Karen B ❤️.

Karen Buonocore

I had a deep plane facelift and upper/lower blepharoplasty with Dr. Mao, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Everything was done on-site with local anesthesia plus some medication to help with anxiety and discomfort—I didn’t feel a thing and actually enjoyed the experience. My results have already exceeded my expectations. Dr. Mao’s PA, Arissa, and LPN, Amanda, provided clear and thorough guidance throughout the entire pre- and post-operative process, and I always felt well-prepared and supported. Taylor, the receptionist, is truly the warm and welcoming face of the practice. I could not have chosen a better surgeon or a more exceptional team. I am beyond grateful for the skill, professionalism, and kindness I received.

Siobhon Andrews

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Experience with Arissa! Arissa was wonderful from start to finish. Before my CO₂ laser, she explained everything clearly and made me feel completely comfortable. During the procedure, she was calm, patient, attentive, and so professional. Afterward, she gave great aftercare guidance and followed up to make sure I was healing well. I couldn’t have asked for better care or results! My skin looks AMAZING! It’s flawless! Highly recommend her!

Michelle Murolo

Arissa is truly exceptional; one of the most talented injectors I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. I work in Manhattan and am part of the medical aesthetics industry, having worked alongside a world-renowned injector that clients travel across the globe to see. With that experience, I can confidently say Arissa’s skill, artistry, and bedside manner stand right alongside the best of the best. From the moment we started, she made me feel completely at ease. She took her time walking me through every detail of my liquid rhinoplasty, explaining exactly why she was approaching it a certain way based on my facial structure. Her technique is precise, her eye is impeccable, and her passion for what she does truly shines through. I left feeling not only beautiful but deeply confident in her hands. Arissa is a star; I can’t wait to see her again for future treatments!

Jacqueline Garrity

Here’s your review formatted for posting on platforms like Google, Yelp, or RealSelf: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Artist in Aesthetic Care I’ve worked with many injectors over the years—from Westport plastic surgeons to MediSpa clinics—but none have matched the level of care and precision that Arissa brings. She doesn’t just inject; she studies your face, understands its unique structure, and enhances it with an artist’s eye. What truly sets her apart is her integrity. I asked about a few additional procedures, and instead of upselling, she thoughtfully explained the potential downsides. That kind of honesty is rare and deeply appreciated. Arissa, thank you for your professionalism, your warmth, and your gift for helping people look and feel their best. You’re a standout in your field. Anna

Dr. Mao and Amanda are a dream team that do so much to make sure you're well taken care of and your surgery has the best possible result. Dr. Mao can shape the nose in a specific way that many other people just cannot. He can give you a natural look. He can also give you something more specific or not typical , and make it work anyway. Amanda is kind and caring and keeps for comfortable and answers questions constantly. I have had 2 surgeries and plan on more, I will never let anyone else touch my face and I've said it for years. Truly thankful I live in the area and have access to this office. Attached is my first rhinoplasty which came out amazing. I decided 6 years later to do a revision to further enhance my nose, not because I needed it but because I WANTED it. I'll post before and afters of my revision, but so far no bruising, minimal pain, and I already love the tip alterations. The surgery was done 2 weeks today so it needs time to settle before posting more.

Dr. Mao performed my septorhinoplasty about 3 years ago… and I finally have the time to write a review lol. I’ll cut to the chase I’m freaking thrilled. I love it so much it has literally changed my life. I sadly realize now that I didn’t have many pictures with my kids with myself included. Every picture seemed to catch the crooked-ness of my nose and I would end up deleting them. Now I love being able to take pictures with them and not feel embarrassed. I only wish I had done it sooner. Everyone in the office was lovely. I felt very comfortable from start to finish. Recovery was painless for me, though I am a bruiser and a sweller haha…. So it honestly did take over a year to see all the swelling subside into the full results. So have some patience people.He told me he wouldn’t be able to get it perfect, but he would be able to get it better. To me,it’s perfect 🙂

I am 18 getting my first surgery.. had a great experience with Dr. Mao to say the least, not only was he very kind and personable but gave me the exact result of my rhinoplasty that I had asked for. I was a little nervous for the recovery, but I healed amazingly and Arissa was amazing with helping me throughout all my questions and concerns.. I am currently less than a month post-opp and I am IN LOVE with my new nose!

Following a visit to the office and an initial misunderstanding, the matter was addressed professionally and resolved to the satisfaction of both parties.

Arissa Schweiss is absolutely amazing, sweet, kind and professional! I went and saw her for under eye filler for a "refresh" look and I couldn't be more impressed with my results! Her skill and technique are fantastic and I felt so at ease from the moment I sat down in her room. I have gotten so many compliments in the last couple of days and I am so glad I saw Arissa for the treatment! Press and hold

I had an amazing experience with Arissa for my Botox treatment. I had been going to a different Aesthetic’s center for my Botox for quite some time so it can be scary trying somewhere new.

Rebeca Romero

Dr. Mao is a master at what he does. I’ve had insecurities about how my eyes looked because of the extra skin and as I aged, the appearance was getting worse. I was very nervous about surgery but Dr. Mao was amazing when it came to reassuring me and explaining the process in detail. I highly recommend because of his professionalism and fantastic results! Here are some before and after photos as reference.

Vivian DeJesus

Arrisa is the BEST! She's professional, knowledgeable and very approachable. She takes her time answering questions and exploring Botox and filler options but doesn't try to push anything. Just gives the facts. Arrisa is super kind and friendly as well! Dr. Mao did my Upper Bleph and I couldn't be more happy with the results!!

What a wonderful office to visit! I was always made to feel comfortable and well taken care of. The highlight of any visit is Arissa who is a master at her craft of sculpting lips and gives me perfect placement of Botox. She is patient, kind, and best of all knowledgeable. She takes her time and uses the best numbing ointment to provide painless service. I get compliments all the time on my lips and can assure you if your hesitate about coming here, don’t be. The staff and Arissa are top notch!

Holly

I came in for possible surgery to fix my eyebrow asymmetry and severe dents from 11lines that were very noticeable even with Botox. Arissa was in my consult and told me she could fix my issues with Botox and filler. No other medspa or injector had offered me this solution. I felt very comfortable getting this sensitive area worked on after the consult. She is clearly knowledgeable and experienced at her job. The results look fantastic and I wish I had gone in sooner! Tysm Arissa!

Rachel Sherwood

I had lip filler done by Arissa and I’m here to say it was a wonderful experience. I was a little nervous because I was worried it would hurt. Arissa was so gentle and reassuring, and because she is so skilled, it didn’t hurt at all! The office at Mao Facial Plastic Surgery is beautiful and welcoming and so is the rest of the staff. I would highly recommend Arissa to anyone considering facial injections. You won’t be disappointed!

Pamela Buonocore

I recently went to see Arissa for lip filler and Botox. Arissa took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted and was so knowledgeable. I couldn’t be happier with my results and how natural my lips look. I would highly recommend Arissa!

Madison Sosa

My deepest gratitude to Dr. Mao for his excellent work on my face, exceeding my expectations. During my face lift consultation, he offered to do the surgery at his office location and explained the entire process step by step, in which he included the local anesthesia injections around the face. I have to admit, I was very scared and thought it would be very painful. However, the injections felt like mosquito bites, and I slept throughout the entire process. My recovery was super fast, only took 2 weeks, and now I am back to my regular life feeling and looking gorgeous. I was blessed and guided towards Dr. Mao for his excellence in the field, his humanity, and his professionalism. He is a remarkable doctor of high caliber with complete humility. I extend my gratitude to 2 stars of the profession: Arissa, PA C. and Amanda, Nurse, who were exceptional and performed at mastery level before, during, and after my surgery ensuring I had a magnificent experience. I am so pleased that I would go back in time to do it all over again. I highly recommend Dr. Mao and his staff to anyone who is looking to renew their image.

Lili

Dr. Mao, Nurse Amanda & PA Arissa are an absolute dream team!!! They make you so comfortable & the beautiful results speak for themselves! I’d highly recommend this office for anyone seeking natural, tasteful results. Dr. Mao is the man!!

Vanessa

I am so happy I came to see Arissa PA-C and the rest of the staff. She is the best for skincare treatment. She listens to my concerns and tries her best to fix my problems. And keep me happy. I noticed an improvement on my first treatment and now I am on my second treatment. I can’t wait to see the final result. She is amazing, caring, and honest with her opinion. I highly recommend Arissa to anyone with a skin problem. You will not be disappointed or regret with her treatment. She is an amazing professional worker. You will not want to go anywhere else but Dr. Johny Mao’s office. They have the best professional staff.

Shanta Chhean

Arissa PA is amazing! She did a liquid rhino and filler on my lips and the results are perfect. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. She is the sweetest!!!! Thank you!!!

scarlett m

My expierence was lovely! I had Arissa as my tech and I got a liquid rhinoplasty and lip filler. She was of the one of most comforting and well experienced techs I have ever met and was very professional. I obsessed with my new side and front profile and the procedures caused minimal pain and discomfort. All in all an amazing expierence, I would recommend Arissa to anyone looking to get any facial modifications with filler, botox, etc.
