Fat Transfer, Facelift, Lower Bleph, Rhinoplasty - Dr. Andrew Jacono

Under eye bags, sagging skin.

As a result of weight loss and a genetic predisposition for hollow midface/eyes, I was left with premature sagging and lack of volume in my face. It took me almost a year of research and several consultations with various surgeons before I found Dr.Jacono. During my two pre surgery consultations I was especially interested in seeing examples of younger patients who had undergone pan facial rejuvenation (I am 37). I was shown dozens of examples.His strategy for my facial rejuvenation included a deep plane facelift, lower blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty and fat transfer. His execution was flawless. I look 8 or 9 years younger and more beautiful. The result is truly remarkable. The scars are already almost imperceptible after only 6 weeks. I do not look pulled, filled or fake in any way whatsoever. Because he used a deep plane technique (which repositions the deep tissues, not just the top few layers), when I speak or move my face everything looks and feels as it is supposed to. Working in the fashion industry I have seen many examples of bad fat transfers and bad facelifts up close. This surgeon has a keen sense of subtlety and balance. The recovery progressed smoothly, although because I had so many procedures done at once the swelling took some time to resolve. One must have the emotional fortitude and patience to deal with recovery. Through it all he and his staff continue to provide superb post op care. There is risk with any surgery but working with someone of Dr. Jacono's caliber can mitigate those risks significantly. I highly recommend him.

I can share pictures if you contact me privately.

Hello mcat , I just visited Dr Jacono website and I'm absolutely amazed about the results. It will be nice to see your to but I can imagine how beautiful you look. I'm checking for the last 3 years for a doctor to trust to operate my face . By far Dr Jacono has the best and natural looking pics . The jaw lines are so perfect , I'm amazed . I would like if you can, to share with me what exactly you got for 41.000. ? I'm so happy for you, keep being beautiful .

Hi zizi

If you speak with Diane at his office she is very friendly and will give you a breakdown of the costs for each procedure. It's more economical in terms of anesthesia, facility costs if you combine procedures. But you have to weigh the risks as well. I was under anesthesia for several hours. But unlike last time (when I had knee surgery 10 years ago), I did not feel nauseated when I woke up. My anesthesiologist was very good. I believe he also offers a twilight anesthesia option. It all depends on what procedure/s you are having done.

mcat....I am confused, what made me come on here was because I was reading how Bad of a job he did, but now I came on here and you love it! So you are happy now, but were not happy in the beginning?
April 24, 2013
I've been very pleased with the results since the beginning. It looks even better a year out. Not sure what gave you that impression. I've referred two of my friends to him and one is scheduled to have surgery in May. In my opinion, he's one of the best plastic surgeons out there.

10 months post op. Went to see Dr. Jacono today for a follow up. I took a screen shot before/after from the front. My face is no longer square! My cheeks are higher (even though I didn't have a cheeklift, his style of facelift elevates the cheek pads). Really happy and enjoying the results. Thank you Dr. Jacono.

You look FANTASTIC!! I am also going to get a face lift, lower bleph and rhinoplasty. I am also going to get an upper bleph. I'm most afraid of the rhinoplasty, do you think it was worth it having it done at the same time?
December 14, 2012
Thanks luckymom. For me it was definitely worth it. One recovery instead of two. The rhinoplasty recovery was surprisingly smooth. My nose didn't even get that swollen. I was prepared for major swelling because of all the tip work that was going to be done (nostril reduction, bulbous tip, etc...) but there wasn't very much swelling at all. It depends on the surgeon and your anatomy. Jacono didn't cut any cartlidge, he rearranged it instead. Less trauma that way. Best of luck I'm sure you will look amazing!
