Dr. Andrew Jacono, Celebrity Facelift Surgeon, Featured in E! News Article on Stars Who Have Shared Their Plastic Surgery Stories

celebrity plastic surgery stories

Keeping Things Quiet

While it is far from a secret that some of our most beloved celebrities have had aesthetic work, whether, in the form of minimally invasive injections or full-blown cosmetic surgery, the majority of A-listers stay mum about their personal health and beauty choices.

The reason for this, according to Dr. Jacono, is quite simple.

“Major stars and cultural icons are among the likeliest to get plastic surgery because their looks are always being placed under a magnifying lens. As a result, they more often feel the need to address their most glaring flaws. It’s also due to this scrutiny that, most of the time, they choose not to reveal that they have had work done; they don’t want to welcome potential criticism.”

Honesty Is the Best Policy

Considering that plastic surgery has been hush-hush, if not outright taboo, it is something of a surprise that stars have recently come forward to share their experiences. Just a few weeks ago, for example, Bella Hadid admitted that, at a very young age, she became dissatisfied with the shape of her nose, and so, at fourteen, she underwent a rhinoplasty. Since then, she has never had any other cosmetic treatments—not even fillers or Botox injections.

Hadid, of course, isn’t the only celebrity to have been transparent about her experience with plastic surgery. In July 2021, fashion mogul Marc Jacobs revealed that he had gotten a facelift—courtesy of Dr. Jacono—and proceeded to post day-by-day updates of his recovery process. The public response to his honesty was overwhelmingly positive, garnering much media attention and many thousands of likes across his social media accounts.

“Marc’s decision to be open about his surgery was extremely brave,” says Dr. Jacono. “It was so thrilling to see him embody himself without fear of judgment, and it was even more incredible to see how supportive his fans were. Sometimes, when people admit that they have had cosmetic surgery, even their closest relatives can resort to criticism. If nothing else, Marc has proved that there is no reason to be ashamed of who you are, less so of the things you’re doing to look your best.”

Jacobs’ announcement echoes that of Sonja Morgan, who also underwent a facelift, as well as a necklift, with Dr. Jacono in 2020. She shared the news on Daily Pop, explaining to Justin Sylvester that Dr. Jacono’s procedure, the Extended Deep-Plane Facelift, is probably the safest and most consistently astonishing facelift technique on the market.

“Being able to work with Sonja was a dream come true,” says Dr. Jacono. “I am a huge fan of The Real Housewives of New York, and Sonja is one of the most gracious patients I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. It’s an added bonus that she was so open to discussing her surgical experience, especially because she looks so great: just like herself, but twenty years younger.”

The Jacono Difference

When you hear the word “facelift,” you probably think of cat-woman Jocelyn Wildenstein or frozen-faced Mickey Rourke, the two best-known plastic surgical horror stories in Hollywood. However, contrary to popular belief, these sorts of results are anomalous.

“The vast majority of facelifts do not deform you,” says Dr. Jacono. “A good facelift reverses specific problems, like jowling, wrinkling, and sagging—in other words, it refreshes your appearance. The last thing a surgeon wants to do is make a patient look like they’re in a wind tunnel.”

That said, there are many facelift techniques out there, and all of them offer different outcomes. Some produce more natural-looking results, whereas others create tighter, more “doctored” looks. Dr. Jacono’s method, the Extended Deep-Plane Facelift, falls into the former category; rather than separating the skin from the muscle and pulling everything aggressively taut, Jacono dives into the face’s deeper architecture and repositions the underlying muscles on a more natural vertical plane. This prevents the face from looking unnaturally glossy.

“Almost all of my patients want to look like themselves, just younger,” continues Dr. Jacono. “The wonderful thing about the Extended Deep-Plane Facelift is that it delivers on this request and leaves my patients extremely happy. This, to me, is the most gratifying thing about my line of work—I have the rare privilege to help people find new confidence in themselves.”

Mission Statement

Doctor Jacono’s desire to become a facial plastic surgeon was solidified in grade school. There was a girl on his school bus route who was born with a cleft lip and palate deformity. Unfortunately, whenever she spoke, air and words escaped through her nose. Kids teased her and were cruel, and nobody would sit next to her on the bus, so he decided to sit with her. One day, the girl had plastic surgery and returned to school with her face repaired. Suddenly, classmates saw her face instead of her deformity and immediately treated her normally. It was at that moment that Doctor Jacono knew he wanted to fix people’s faces and change their lives. This is why he has gone on over twenty plastic surgery missions to poor countries around the world and provided free cleft lip and surgery for birth defects to over 500 children.

Because of this experience in his childhood, Doctor Jacono understands that one of our basic needs as human beings is to feel confident about our appearance. It’s is Doctor Jacono’s passion to help his patients achieve their facial aesthetic goals, creating natural appearing results to either enhance their beauty and proportion or rejuvenate their aging appearance. He is a world-renowned leader in the field of facial plastic surgery and only performs surgery on the face, not the body. He has innovated many facelift, eyelid lift, and rhinoplasty surgical techniques, publishing in leading peer reviewed literature and lecturing at plastic surgery conferences all over the world. He is committed to sharing what he has learned teaching surgeons from around the world.

His approach is to maintain your uniqueness and facial identity; it is still you just better. To do this he uses a customized, bespoke approach to each patient employing the most minimally invasive, innovative, and cutting-edge technology. Doctor Jacono has never performed the same procedure on any two of the thousands of patients he has treated. He is committed to providing his surgical expertise in a caring, supportive environment with a professional staff that has you as their focus and concern.
