As a head and neck surgeon myself, I spent quite a bit of time researching my options for the procedure. I chose Dr. Jacono for the consistently natural results. I've been very happy with my outcome. I looked refreshed and well rested without looking like a different person.
I traveled from the UK to New York for upper blepharoplasty and deep plane facelift surgery with Dr. Jacono and it was absolutely worth it! From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Dr. Jacono is not only incredibly professional and skilled but also warm, supportive, and truly an artist in his field. The results are beyond my expectations—natural, refined, and even more beautiful as time goes on. His entire team was exceptional, making me feel comfortable and cared for every step of the way. The level of precision and artistry in his work is remarkable, and I couldn’t be happier. I look and feel amazing, and I’m so grateful to have chosen Dr. Jacono for this journey. Highly recommend to anyone considering surgery—you’re in the best hands!
I never thought one day I would consider plastic surgery let alone in my early 40s! I was finally in a place in life where I felt comfortable in my own skin but I didn’t feel the same about the outside, feeling more self conscious about my drooping neck and face, my nasoliabial folds and eye brows had lowered and aged me more than I felt on the inside. No amount of non invasive treatments (laser, Botox, serums, makeup tricks eventually worked). I did my research for 6 months about techniques, surgeons and plastic surgery in general and my anxieties melted away the more I learned it was safe and natural results were very much possible. In the end, I decided Dr. Jacono would be the only surgeon I could put my trust in with my face! Even if I had to wait to get in line! From my first experience through to follow up check-ins, Dr. Jacono and his talented and caring team made me feel comfortable, answered my endless list of questions, took care of me - from recommendations on where to stay, to healing, what was normal, what to expect etc. Every day since after having my surgeries, I look better and better. I’m BEYOND impressed with my results and extremely grateful to the very GIFTED surgeon, Dr. Jacono, for doing my procedures. I’m so proud of my decision in the end and in the investment I made towards the outcome and would recommend Dr. Jacono without hesitation to anyone who’s not sure to undertake this very important decision!
One of the best decisions I made in my life was choosing Dr. Andrew Jacono. I have much more self-confidence and have been more willing to face the world. I get so much positive feedback about how young I look and how pretty I am. I had no idea how much more willing and comfortable I would become facing Cameras. I can't say enough positive things about Dr. Jacono and his team. They made me feel my very best when I was at my absolute worst. So compassionate, understanding, caring, and thorough, and they make you feel special. Dr. Jocono surgical experience is like none other! My procedure was Facelift, Deep Plane, Platysmaplasty, Buccal Fat, Lip Lift, Lateral Temporal Lift, and lower blepharoplasty I had done last June five months now and I look wonderful. I took Dr. Jacono advice to look at this holistically to obtain the maximum results and it was much more than what expected I’m so happy thank you Dr. Jacono you are Amazing!
I am excited, happy and very satisfied with my plastic surgery results by Dr. Andrew Jacono. He performed a deep plane face lift, neck lift, lip lift, eyelid lift and temporal lift on me a year ago and the results are outstanding. I am truly grateful to him for all his care and dedication to my case. I am an 80 year old woman and was looking to restore my looks as time was catching up with me and fillers were no longer helping. I felt that my outside appearance did not match how I felt on the inside. Dr. Jacono addressed all my concerns. He has literally shaved years off my face and as a result has given me back my confidence. He also was able to perform my surgery under sedation rather than general anesthesia. At my age, this was a great option and I felt so safe in his hands on my surgery day. I am very pleased with my results - I look rested and refreshed without looking pulled. And now I feel like I shine a little brighter so that I can enjoy this next chapter in my life. In addition to being a great plastic surgeon, Dr. Jacono is compassionate and understanding. In every appointment he was incredibly kind and attentive to my case. I am grateful to him and his team and deeply appreciative of his care.
I went to Dr Jacono because my neck bands, jowls and dark circles under my eyes were making me look incredibly tired all of the time. I sought out Dr. Jacono because he is known for doing a very “natural” face lift. I met with him and he suggested a number of procedures. We decided on a neck lift, deep plane face lift, temporal lift and a lower blepharoplasty. He also suggested a brow lift to open up my very deep set eyes rather than an upper blepharoplasty. No other doctor had suggested this so I was a bit nervous about that procedure. Dr. Jacono have a detailed explanation of the brow lift. He made me feel so comfortable that the decision was an easy “Yes!” It’s been almost a year since my surgery and I am amazed with the results. I seriously can’t believe how much younger and awake that I look. I still look exact like myself, just a much better, brighter version. I am so grateful that I trusted Dr. Jacono and his fabulous team of doctors and nurses. He is truly the best!
It took me many years before I was mentally ready for a face lift. I researched “the best” surgeons for over a year. Of course, Dr. Jacono was always on the list. I can’t tell you how pleased I am that I decided to put my face in his hands. The results are exactly what i had hoped for - it looks like me but 20 years younger. He was always attentive and listened to my concerns and his staff was superb. I believe he loves his work and it certainly shows.
As an orthopedic surgeon myself, choosing the best surgeon was a must. I had eyes, nose, face and neck done in one sitting and look 20 years younger WITHOUT a drastic change to my appearance. Back to work at two weeks and couldn’t be happier.
In my opinion, Dr. Jacono should be the #1 United States Facial Plastic Surgeon hands down. He was able to fix my completely botched and crooked original nose job from another surgeon with a revision rhinoplasty— and the results were perfection. I could tell instantly by talking to him that he was clearly artsy and understood proportions perfectly. I trusted all of his suggestions and went with them all. By the end of two surgeries with him, I have done a deep plane lower face lift, a mid face lift, an upper and lower bleph, a lateral brow lift, a lip lift, a platysmaplasty (neck lift), and a revision rhinoplasty. My transformation is unbelievable, and I have never felt this beautiful in all of my years. He probably took 15 years off of my face, too. He took me from what looked like a deformed nose to a beautiful, artsy overall look— and I could not be more pleased. After having been stuck with a botched nose job for three years with no one being willing to take my challenge on, Dr. Jacono has changed my life by helping my personal confidence and ability to move forward. I will forever be grateful and see him as the #1 surgeon of this country, and I will never trust my future plastic surgeries to anyone else but him. — Mary
I spent years researching for the best doctor. I immediately noticed every dr was using the keywords "deep plane facelifts" but when I would meet with them I could tell they were not doing the deep plane approach. It turns out only two in the country actually do the whole approach. Yes, there are some drs using some of the deep plane approaches combined with other approaches, which is why so many patients have to go back for another lift. Everyone wants to look natural but younger. Dr Jacono nailed it. I can't get over how he's able to turn back time and have me still look like myself! When I shared what I've done friends are more shocked at my before pictures because I look so natural and myself today ... but better. That was the goal!! Because I came from out of town it was hard not to be around my support system but his practice made me feel loved and cared for - from the front desk to the nurses to the anesthesiologist to the recovery nurse to the fellow to Dr Jacono and even aftercare with the nurses. Yes, he was expensive for me (I realize this is relative for everyone) but this is one procedure worth investing in. Signed, 20 years younger!! PS - My husband was so nervous (because there are so many noticeable facelifts happening out there) he's so happy with the natural results!! I'd love to post pictures to show you proof but I'm not that brave to go public with the idea I had a facelift. I'm enjoying even my closest friends being shocked I did this and not realizing it.
You have a hump that can very easily be removed with a closed rhinoplasty technique. This is performed with incisions inside the nose and no external scars. The recovery time is shorter with this approach.
After a MACS face lift which is a type of mini face lift swelling usually lasts 1 to 2 weeks. Even though it is a more limited surgery all face lifts can still take up to two weeks for swelling to resolve. I think you should however see your surgeon to make sure you do not have a hematoma that would cause swelling and bruising under the skin. I often will prescribe diuretics 1 week after surgery to reduce residual swelling,
There are some key questions I think you should ask your doctor. First how many rhinoplasty surgeries does he/she perform in a year. A surgeon who has a lot of experience with this surgery should perform at least 50 a year. Also the doctor should perform many revision rhinoplasty surgeries as the best way for a surgeon to have a lower rate of complications is to have experience in revising surgery performed elsewhere. Also ask the doctor his revision rate for his/her own patients.
The initial bruising and swelling after a face lift lasts about 7 to ten days, with 80% clearing in this time frame. The last 20 % of the swelling can last up to 3 weeks. The numbness lasts about 3 months until it completely resolves.
The SMAS is a complex structure of the face that is the supporting muscle and tissue of the face. Many facelifts are performed by lifting and tightening the skin that gives it a pulled stretched skin appearance. Lifts that tighten this SMAS result in a more natural and longer lasting result.
