While it’s relatively uncommon, facelifts and other cosmetic procedures can lose their integrity after just a few years. This, of course, leaves many patients extremely dissatisfied, if not outright regretful, which is why botched plastic surgery is such a serious issue.
Of the 2.3 million Americans who underwent plastic surgery in 2020, tens of thousands were left not only unhappy with their outcomes but at a complete loss for what to do. The good news, however, is that there are many plastic surgeons around the country who specialize in revision treatments. Take Dr. Andrew Jacono, for example, New York’s top facial plastic surgeon who offers a broad range of revision surgeries that help his valued patients achieve the facial aesthetics they desire and deserve.

Facelift Revision
Although the extended deep plane facelift is Dr. Jacono’s specialty, he is also a master facelift revisionist who can satisfy patients with results that have either been botched or are beginning to wear off. The unfortunate truth is that, while facelifts are very long-lasting, their outcomes are not forever; typically, they are good for 12 to 15 years before the skin begins to sag once again, and touchups are required.
The incredible part about Dr. Jacono’s revision facelift technique is that, rather than simply pulling the skin taut, he focuses on manipulating the deeper musculature of the face, including the platysma muscle, which stretches from the bottom of the chin to the top of the chest. This provides patients with superior, natural-looking outcomes that strike the proper aesthetic balance between the upper, middle, and lower regions of the face and neck.
Other Revision Procedures Dr. Andrew Jacono Has Perfected
Revision Rhinoplasty
Because rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult facial plastic surgeries to perform, patients often receive unsatisfying results. Dr. Jacono is an expert at revision rhinoplasty and believes it is crucial to take into consideration not only the nose’s aesthetics but also its functionality.
Revision Eyelift
Surgeons usually botch a blepharoplasty either by under-correcting drooping eyelids and eye bags, or by removing too much skin and fat around the eyes, which can make the face look hollow. The eyelids are some of the most delicate parts of the body, so an eyelift revision requires the most specialized of techniques to properly execute.
Revision Lip Augmentation / Lip Implant Removal
Dr. Jacono’s revision lip augmentation most commonly addresses lip asymmetry, post-surgical infections, and insecure implants. If a patient has previously used fillers, surgery is not required for a fix; instead, an enzyme can be injected that dissolves the filler within a day or two.
If a lip implant must be removed, on the other hand, an incision is made behind the lips to prevent visible scarring after surgery. Dr. Jacono also believes that synthetic implants should not be reinserted in case of any further complications.
Revision Chin and Cheek Implants
Chin and cheek implants can wonderfully accentuate the chin and cheekbone areas, but sometimes, a surgeon will use the improper implant size, resulting in an asymmetrical facial structure. Patients often undergo chin and cheek revision surgeries to reshape or completely remove their implants.
Revision Browlift
A revision browlift is usually recommended when a surgeon elevates the brow to an extreme degree, which can make patients look perpetually surprised. During a revision browlift, the brow and forehead areas are carefully lowered to a more desirable position.
