The Jury is IN - Great Neck, NY

Just checking in here - I have begun my revision consult to try to fix Jacono's nonsensical MESS. Just seeing the before and after's we simulated at my consult really drove home how messed up my nose really is. UGH! Still can't believe what a dumb move I made trusting this guy. My nose is looooong dented pointed and is C shaped from the front. Looks like I am going to have to come up with thousands and thousands more dollars if I ever want a chance at not looking awful. That's another thing, you know how revisions usually cost more than your primary? Well so far my first revision quote was still WAAAY less than Jacono gouged my for my primary. Seriously - it's a nightmare.

Just checking in. I am a very real person who trusted the WRONG person to do my nose. My poor sweet nose has been mutilated and it makes me so sad. I have lost my confidence and my trust. Oh how trusting and foolish I was. Its a broken record that I cant go back in time, and so I must continue to look forward. I face each new day filled with disappointment - and so I count my many other blessings - and continue to hold on one day at a time.
Yet, my life has changed so much since this mistake I made. I don't allow myself to look in the mirror as I get ready in the morning. I rarely wear eye makeup or jewelry anymore. I just don't want to draw attention to myself.
My "doctor" claims he is a specialist. He charges more than twice what other surgeons charge for a primary rhinoplasty. He touts a less than 1% revision rate. He said my surgery would be easy. In fact he didn't do much, other than cut open my nose - shave down a bump on one side so much so that it is now concave there and makes the other side look at though it is protruding. He then flattened down one side of my nose - making that nostril appear twice as long from the indentation - it is more narrow on the tip on one side and is more narrow than the bone above it - making that side of my nose look very long and pointy. The other side he left about the same except he left a large pointy piece of cartilage on the tip which juts out making my uneven tip look even more unappealing. My nose veers to the side even more still - it looks like a big sideways banana.
I had wanted my eyes to be the focus of my face - I wasn't looking for perfection in my nose - just a non-obtrusive semi-symmetrical nose. I certainly didn't expect perfection - but I did however expect my surgeon to give it some effort and expertise. He was supposed to be a "top specialist" after all. This result looks as though I went to a doctor who had never performed a rhinoplasty in his life. There is no way that he even TRIED to make my nose look good. This is all I will say to anyone considering Jacono - DONT!!!!! If you have already booked it, CANCEL IT! I wish I had even cancelled it even if I lost a significant deposit because I am telling you - he HAS NO SKILL. Or if he does have skill, he can't be bothered to take the time needed to do it right. Don't walk, RUN.
When you go back to his office for follow ups - he doesn't remember anything about you or what he did or didn't do. He acts like he couldn't care less, in fact he treats you like an annoyance. He glances at your nose and claims it looks "great." Even when it is blatantly NOT great.
Once he has your $14K, he's washed his hands of you. I am a believer that what you put out into the world, how you treat people, your integrity - it all comes back around to you. And so I know that Jacono is definitely in for some harsh times ahead.
As I move forward with my revision research - I will likely begin a new thread in the revision section. I am not going to be updating here much any longer. If you read this far, you have been warned. And I hope my story helps to save someone.

Its official. It wasn't worth it. Choosing this "surgeon" is the biggest regret of my life. The absolute biggest regret. He didn't do what I asked or what he said he could do "very simply." I got ripped off. My nose is completely different than it was before and from what we agreed on. His "after care" is laughable! I now have a nose that doesn't fit my face, is two different shapes and sizes on each side and curves toward the side of my "tip" which protrudes further on one side and is higher than the other.
I hope who ever reads this believes the grave seriousness of the nightmare I am enduring. Don't fall for all the new rave 5 star reviews. They are impersonal and generic. And likely an attempt at damage control. Please don't become another victim of this "doctor."
