biggest regret of my life
$10,500
This was the worst experience of my life. I had a mid-face lift, upper eye and brow lift that went horribly wrong. I lost my smile, I even think my zygomatic nerves never fully recovered and don't work and thus I can't smile all the way. I look FAR WORSE then before, it's just insane to me to have a cosmetic procedure done and look worse. I can't blame the doctor for everything since I elected to have this procedure but I REGRET it more then anything. When I want to the doc 3 months post, he was extremely condescending. I was not listened to with respect at all and my concerns blown off. I used to model and do print work, those days are over. I have more wrinkles then I ever had now then before. One of my eyes is completely a wreck and the lid doesnt fold easily. It's crooked. I could except all of that but not being able to smile has kept me in a depression since the day of my surgery. I thought I did enough research and asked the right questions, but I had no idea what exactly was involved in this procedure. He did not explain anything to me regarding making an incision thru the mouth and having stitches in there. Oh and if that wasn't enough, I lost over half my hair. I developed telogen effluvium- hair loss from a shock to the body or surgery ). Over 50% of my hair is gone and it will take years for it to be what it was. I REGRET THIS procedure everyday. And when I want to express my dissatisfaction and concerns he completed dismissed and invalidated me. Horrible. DO NOT GO HERE. Private message me and i will send you photos. They tell the truth.

I hate it when doctors come on here to defend their work after ruining a patient’s confidence. This doctor was not thorough enough and didn’t give you clear expectations. Don’t blame yourself because it was an elective procedure. If you would have know this would be the outcome then you wouldn’t have done it.... that is your doctor’s fault.
Dr. Jacono is the facelift king and I’ve seen him fix other facelifts. It might be worth reaching out to him.
I had a similar plastic surgery experience where a procedure ruined my life. I understand the pain and torment you might feel. I hope it gets better for you. Hugs.

thank you Enthusiastic788246, I appreciate your supportive words. I actually did call Dr. Jacono but their starting price for anything face related was 30 grand! Way out of my price range so Ive just learned to cope somehow.. It still gets me down nearly everyday and Ive continued to spend so much $$ On other ways to help me look like my old self like peels and RF treatments.. I also spend nearly 1000$ just on consults alone with occuloplasty surgeons, all whom said they could do nothing for my crooked eye. Im sorry you experienced this kind of devastation also, I would not wish it on anyone. Thank you again. Be well.

Just had a initial contact with Dr. Jacono's office, as I agree he is THE KING of facelifts, and his starting price is now $50K and up!

You guys should check out doctor Mascaro. His facelifts are incredible and he’s cheap. I’m going to him for a lip lift revision. He’s a gem.

I would like to contact you regarding this since I have recently had a similar experience. I don't see your contact info to be able to message you.
I am sorry you feel like this. Certainly was not my intend. Midface lift is actually a great procedure that has extremely high satisfaction rate. I performed hundreds of these, I and my nurses explain the procedure in detail to all the patients. We also give descriptions in writing. Although some (temporary) hair loss can occur as a side effect to general anesthesia (nothing to do with surgery itself) if it occurs is minimal. I have never seen hair loss even close to 50%, that would be a disaster
cannot get into details into your situation because of HIPAA but please do post your before and after photos so everybody can see your results and judge for themselves, I can't do it, but also have nothing to hide Please come to my office to discuss it and will try to help you if possible. I hope you feel better!
