Dr. Jacono on Healing After Surgery

Dr. Jacono discusses healing after facial plastic surgery in this City Living article.

Dr Jacono Discusses Healing after Surgery

Dr. Jacono sat down with City Living to discuss the process of surgical recovery. As exciting as it is to undergo a cosmetic procedure, the aftermath can be quite challenging to deal with. Still, with the proper resources, just about anyone can thrive after treatment.

For Dr. Jacono and other top facial plastic surgeons, patient healing occurs in luxurious hotels. The hotels themselves offer indulgent post-surgery recovery packages that New Yorkers are especially willing to pay money for. Some will even shell out thousands of dollars to make their process more comfortable.

“If I can make the recovery process any easier on my patients, I aim to do it,” says Dr. Jacono. “Healing from surgery can be quite difficult. I’m happy to help.”

What Is the Healing Process After Surgery?

Healing from surgery entails a variety of complications. The most common are swelling, bruising, and a general sense of discomfort. These symptoms occur because surgery is a form of trauma. In an attempt to heal, the body increases the fluid concentration in particular areas of the face.

The consequences of the body’s response can include not only pain but a temporarily ghastly appearance. Surgical procedures like the facelift and the neck lift cause wide discoloration of the skin. If people were to be seen in public with these sorts of symptoms, they could be subject to ridicule and embarrassment.

Luxurious Healing

Considering these consequences, some people choose to hide out for the duration of their healing. The wealthiest of these partner with their doctors to find the most desirable venues.

“It’s a special privilege of mine to give my patients access to the best post-operative care,” says Dr. Jacono. “These venues offer a place to stay without any judgment. The best part about them is that they usually offer other benefits in addition to being a place to stay.”

By way of example, the Pierre, a 5-star Central Park Hotel, offers a multitude of benefits. These include, but are certainly not limited to room discounts, car services, and daily delivered ice, pillows, and towels. It also offers in-room manicures and pedicures, as well as blowouts. Lastly, guests receive 50 units of Botox for only $500, which is an incredible steal.

Affinia Gardens, another Upper East Side hotel, has similar standards. It regularly works with private doctors’ offices to prepare for post-surgery guests and takes things to the next level. Bedside lamps twist and turn, allowing doctors to examine patients. Patios in the Garden Terrace suites feature balconies that face inwards towards a private garden. This allows guests to get fresh air without having to go outside before they’re prepared to. What’s more, Affinia Gardens offers a six-choice pillow menu, grocery delivery, and laundry service.

The Surrey is yet another 5-star hotel located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. It offers a “Recovery at the Surrey” package, which is especially attractive for patients recovering from facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. It includes benefits that are seen in many other luxury hotels. It also has a menu specially catered toward recovery. It includes several different flavors of Jell-O, pudding, oatmeal, Ensure, and even baby food, all of which are easy to chew and swallow. Other deliverable items are cold compresses, heating pads, and room service from the famed Café Boulud.

“The amenities at these top-tier hotels are nothing short of astounding,” says Dr. Jacono. “They make sure that every single post-operative patient is as comfortable as they can possibly be. That is a major blessing for anyone who has just undergone surgery.” Of all these luxury hotels, Dr. Jacono prefers to send his patients to Surrey. This is because it is closest to his Fifth Avenue office. If a house call is needed, he can rush over and get there in an appropriate period of time.

Hotel vs. Home: Which Is Better?

Some people might think that staying at home would be the more comfortable option, especially after an invasive treatment. The truth, however, is that time away from home can actually make the process less stressful.

“Patients who return home after surgery might feel the need to return to their household or work responsibilities too quickly,” says Dr. Jacono. “A stay at a luxury hotel allows them to focus on themselves and their recovery. Plus, it enhances a patient’s overall experience. In many cases, plastic surgery is an indulgence, and recovery at a 5-star hotel extends the luxury a step further.”

With so many incredible post-operative hotel options in New York City, it’s no wonder that plastic surgery seems more attractive than ever. After all, if you are going to spend the money to look your best, what is the harm in paying a little extra to get the most comfortable recovery experience? So, book that beautiful room and enjoy your time away from the world!

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.
