Revision fail :(

So many of you have read my previous review. My original surgery was in November 2019. I had a face lift, brow lift, upper and lower eyes and a co2 laser treatment all in 1 surgery. I was very swollen for almost a year, and after a year, Dr. Jacono was eager to do a revision surgery to fix my neck. He scheduled surgery right away. He told me that he could fix my neck, and that 1-3% of cases need to be revised. He does great work on so many people, but what about the rare occasion that your face falls into the 1-3% who need revision? From what I have read in other people’s reviews of other surgeons... in many cases the surgeon does not stand by his/her work. They abandon the patient and they try to silence any complaints. Dr Jacono never once told me that I should not tell my true experience online. He welcomed my honesty and seemed to really want to make sure I ended up happy with my neck. Dr. Jacono really stood by his work. From the very first day, I told him that I would write a completely honest review. I felt very unprepared for what to expect after reading the reviews on real self. I expected it to be easy, and painless. I expected Dr. Jacono to be perfect and never get less than perfect results. I expected to be well enough to go right back to work. What I found in real life is that everyone heals differently. Some people look amazing right away, and other people feel more uncomfortable, and in my case... I got very swollen and it lasted for a very long time. At the 1 yr post op appointment Dr. Jacono had told me we could talk about revision. He looked at my before and after photos and he admitted that he saw the same things that I saw. He said, “let’s just start with your neck this time. Let me fix your neck”. Despite my trust issues, I asked him if he really believed that he could fix my neck, and he said that yes he really did believe that he could fix it so that I would be very happy. I am now 4 months post op and I already see a nice looking neck. My double chin is gone and it feels so great. I will keep updating my story. For now I have these few photos that show my greatly improved neck. Dr. Jacono 100% stood by his work. That seems to be something that most surgeons have not been doing, from what I read on real self reviews. He did not abandon me. He never said anything negative about my honest reviews on this site. He fixed my neck as he said he could. It’s very important to know that your surgeon will stand by his work and not try to hide anything. No one is perfect all the time. He’s not a magician but he definitely was determined to make sure I was happy.

It’s a year since my revision of my neck surgery. The scars behind my ears and on my scalp are pretty horrible. They are thick and very obvious looking. They are lumpy and it looks very unnatural so anyone would know I had surgery.
The scars and baldness from the unnecessary brow lift are still really bad. I try everything. Regain, nutrafol, special shampoos and serums. Nothing will ever get hair to grow over those scalp scars. I look much older being so bald. I use topix fibers every day trying to camouflage the baldness. My scalp dents in where those 4 cuts were made into my scalp.
Why a brow lift? I do not know. I didn’t want one. I was worried about my hair and I emailed the dr beforehand voicing my fears about that. I have more wrinkle lines in my forehead now then I did before the brow lift. My eyes still have ptosis. The eye surgery didn’t help at all and actually made it worse bc they are wrinkled and bumpy where the stitches were, so now it looks like I had failed eye surgery. No makeup will cover the wrinkles from the stitches on my eyelid.
As for the co2 laser that didn’t work at all, my brown spots and wrinkles are all how they were before the procedure.
It’s good that the surgeon did the revision on my neck. He tried to fix it. It’s just not the surgery that I ever started with this to get. The revision fixed most of the deformity on my neck that resulted from the first surgery. It didn’t address my scalp, scars, bald patches, brown spots, wrinkles, etc.
I feel like I look very fake now. There are too many signs that I had botched surgery. I regret ever having trusted reviews and signing up for surgery. Too many procedures and they all went wrong.
Most of the reviews have no photos. I have come to think those are not real. Then there are a few where people look great and include photos. The dr expressed that he thinks my skin just grows back and droops fast (not like most people) and that my scars just don’t heal well. Maybe I am just an oddity. I still wish I saw a very honest and accurate review before my initial surgery. Then people can know the risks. Not everyone has successful procedures. Then people can choose to do it or not, knowing that no doctor can do magic. If it sounds too good, it probably isn’t realistic for everyone.

He did the revision surgery and for awhile it looked improved. Now it looks deformed still. Very very upsetting. I will add photos when I can. I was happy he wanted to fix it but now its clear that he does not know how to fix what he did wrong.
