REVIEW OF DR ANDREW JACONO Revision Rhinoplasty

In 2011 I had my first rhinoplasty with another NYC Park Avenue plastic surgeon. The surgery was supposed to correct my deviated septum and refine my bulbous tip. While the procedure left my nose noticeably slimmer, it did not straighten my septum and instead introduced another set of problems – a droopy tip that made my nose appear too long, a pinched tip, yet still somehow meaty and unrefined, a bump on the bridge of the nose where it curved to the left, a pollybeak deformity and a hanging columella. My breathing problem got worse. It was clear to me, when I set out to search for another rhinoplasty surgeon, that this person had to be the best of best. In my google searches, I would type "the best nose surgeon in the world". From my search I excluded surgeons who are not certified in all three: plastic surgery, facial plastic surgery, and otolaryngology.
I consulted magazines, online forums, my dermatologist. One name kept reappearing – dr Andrew Jacono. So I made a consultation appointment with him and two other surgeons. While dr Jacono's revision rhinoplasty was more costly than that of the other two doctors, he won me over with two things – his complete guarantee that he can correct and fix all of my nose problems (with the other two there were no guarantees, straightening a curved nose is one of the most difficult procedures) and something that the other two doctors missed – in addition to the problems I listed above, my nose was still too large for my face. That was most obvious from the profile. Dr Jacono immediately and frankly commented on that, while the other doctors said "let's fix what is broken and not create additional issues" (meaning they did not want to make it prettier).
I knew I was expecting a miracle, yet somehow I wasn't worried. Deeply inside I felt I could trust dr Jacono to fix all these issues. Six and a half weeks later, as I'm writing this, my nose looks AMAZING. Even though it will take a total of a year or longer to see the final result, already I love my new nose. Every day, as the swelling is going down my nose looks better and better. Dr Jacono did what he had promised – he straightened my curved nose, fixed the pollybeak, unpinched the tip, rotated it and refined it. The columella is no longer hanging, my nose is no longer dropping and it is not too long, nor too big. It is more feminine, smaller, refined and natural-looking. For years I refused to be photographed and when I was, I would photoshop my nose. No more. I keep taking selfies every day. I finally have the nose I was meant to be born with. Dr Jacono is top of the top. He is also kind and friendly, as are his staff, the nurses and the receptionists. Thank you Dr Jacono for exceeding my expectations.
