Unhappy with Neck Lift Results

ORIGINAL POST

Unhappy with Neck Lift Results

MysteryMe
After menopause, my neck and jawline sagged tremendously. I spent a lot of money to have a neck lift with Dr. Jacono - as he was supposed to be the best. At first, the results looked good although I wasn't too happy with the bunched skin behind my ears. But, I accepted it as part of the procedure.
After about six months, the bunched skin disappeared and the skin behind my ears was smooth again. I soon realized why. The stitches that were put there to pull the loose skin taught had come out. I am now left with saggy, loose skin on my neck again. So the surgery took care of the pouch under my chin but I am left with loose, saggy skin on my neck. Not at all happy. 
I will post about another procedure I had with him that didn't go as planned either. His assistant's response - the doctor said that there's nothing more we can do. I will take some photos and post them here.

When was your surgery? Can you post photos? Read my review. I had 6 procedures that were all unsuccessful. I know how you feel. Has dr. Jacono offered to do a revision. I will see him soon for my 1 yr post op and we'll see what he wants to do to fix my situation.

I wouldn't go to him even if he offered to fix it. He'll end up making it worse and then no one will be able to fix it. I wouldn't trust him at all. Imagine he actually botches you next time you go under then what? Every time you touch your face you make it harder to fix if something goes wrong. Save your money do research and find someone who knows what they're doing. "Social following" means absolutely nothing when it comes to reputable plastic surgeons. He does not have a good reputation in the plastic surgeon world. Multiple women have had to have their faces fixed after seeing him. His photos are airbrushed. Save yourself the heart ache don't do it

I'm so sorry. People re finally starting to speak out about their horrible results with him. Women have posted their botched images and beauty broker has posted some itched images from him as well. Look at David Rosenberg if you ever do a revision. He is truly the "best". His results last and he is super friendly. I plan on going to him when the time is right. He told me I was too young so one day!

Thank you so much for sharing your recommendation. I got botched my another surgeon and I am searching for a really skilled and honest surgeon who can help me! Please post if you have any other suggestions or maybe more of a personal experience with this or any other surgeon. Best of luck!

It's great you ladies are getting the word out. I'm very sorry about your experiences. Hopefully, you will save others from the same disappointment and heartache.

Unfortunately, I have read other negative reviews regarding this doctor’s work - with similar comments concerning his casual attitude about the need for revisions. Hope anyone who is considering surgery with him, sees your review. Wishing you the best in finding a great PS to correct the issue.

While waiting for my consult I met a woman in the waiting room who was a few weeks out of a facelift and a lip lift. I do not exaggerate when I say that if I hadn't already paid for the consult, I would have left the office. Immediately. Her lip lift was so exaggerated as to make her look like a rabbit. The top of her face seemed to "sit" on the bottom half. I can't describe it any other way. Worse still, she sensed something wasn't right. I didn't have the heart to say anything. I've had enough surgery to know that after several weeks, she should have looked much, much better.

Sometimes, you need to be prepared to travel to find a good surgeon.

The outcome was not good at all as you can see. I did go back to his office and waited for 1 to see him in the waiting room and then another hour in the patient room. He came in said everything looked great. I told him that the stitches came out behind my ears and he said "isn't that a good thing?". And I said no my neck is still wrinkled. In all, he spent about one minute with me and then left.

How long has the surgery been, sorry but I couldn’t find it posted. I had mine done 1 month ago tomorrow. I still have a good bit of swelling under the chin and jawline. When I look up I do see some crepey skin also. But I do believe as I’ve read here that once the swelling goes down your skin will drape differently. I started taking Protein powder daily and using Gold Bond Resilience Cream. Let me tell you within a week I can tell the difference. Hang in there as you are still healing .

I can't believe this Dr who is very expensive did this

That is terrible. I would be very upset and demand it be done properly

How long has it been since you had surgery and do you have before and after? I see why you are not happy it does not look smooth!!
