Did Ashley Tisdale Want a Severe Rhinoplasty?

03/19/2019 by DR. ANDREW JACONO

Did Ashley Tisdale Want a Severe Rhinoplasty, and If Not How Could It Have Been Avoided?

There has been a lot of discussion in the media regarding teen actress and singer Ashley Tisdale’s decision to have here nose fixed for a functional breathing problem early in December. When she emerged approximately 3 weeks later, it was difficult to recognize her, similar to the way Jennifer Grey of Dirty Dancing fame emerged after her nasal surgery. It is clear that both of these actresses underwent not just breathing surgery, but an operation called a rhinoplasty (nose job) to alter their appearance. Interestingly, both of these young women were attractive in their own right, and likely wanted only to have minor changes in their nasal shape to better enhance or define their beauty. Interestingly, the extremely small and pinched look of the tip of Ashley Tisdale’s nose indicates that a lot of cartilage was removed from it, and this usually causes difficulty breathing; this is the very reason why she embarked on her surgery in the first place.

The unfortunate truth about rhinoplasty is that approximately 7 to 10% of rhinoplasties performed in the United States require revision surgery because the person undergoing the surgery is not satisfied with its look, or because of post-surgery breathing problems. So yes, there is a way to restore Ashley Tisdale’s nose to a more natural appearance that does not erase her identity. In her case where the nasal cartilages and bones were overresected (too much removed) this would involve replacing the removed cartilage with cartilage borrowed from other portions of the nose or body like the nasal septum (a piece of cartilage inside the nose) the ears or in very severe cases, unlike Ashley’s nose, the rib cartilage. This requires the expertise of a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon that specializes in both revision cosmetic surgery and reconstructive surgery, and these doctors can be found both through the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery or the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

So how does the actress or everyday prospective patient prevent this problem when choosing a surgeon? The first step is ensuring your doctor is board certified and specializes only in facial plastic surgery and not a generalist also performing other cosmetic surgery procedures like breast augmentation, liposuction and tummy tucks. Avoid the “jack of all trades.” One way of ensuring this is by choosing a doctor board certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery as noted above. But this is only the beginning.

When interviewing a doctor for surgery during a consultation, you should be allowed to see hundreds of examples of their work. During your review of these photos, make sure that all the noses do not look the same because that indicates that the doctor has a “cookie cutter” approach to surgery and that your nose will look just like all the others. This is important as each rhinoplasty surgery should be sculpted to balance with other facial features and stature. For example the 6 foot runway model with a long face should not have an overly small and upturned nose because it will look ridiculous.

Additionally, their needs to be an extensive discussion with each patient to arrive at what their concept of beauty is and what their desire is for surgery. If you were Ashley Tisdale and only wanted your bridge slightly refined and wound up with a nose half it’s originally size that would be horrible. The best way for a surgeon to arrive at this conclusion is by taking digital pictures of the patient and using digital morphing technology to manipulate the photos so that there is a clear understanding of what a patient wants their nose to look like. This becomes the road map for surgery. This is not a gimmick, and I and a minority of surgeons across the country use this to make sure we are going to deliver what each person wants. Many plastic surgeons will not use this technology as they cannot tailor their operation but give you the “Doctor Smith Nose.”

Their needs to be a merging of good techniques, the aesthetic understanding of the surgeon, and the desire of the patient defined by digital morphing to prevent unwanted results. But who knows, maybe Ashley wanted her nose to look that way!

Today I saw this patient only 4 weeks after surgery #ilovehernewnose !! She wanted a #rhinoplasty because she felt like the size of her nose and her bulbous nasal tip overwhelmed her face. I performed an #openrhinoplasty to help reduce her nasal bridge, refine her #nasaltip.  On her profile she wanted a slight curve to her bridge and her tip lifted which I think looks so feminine and pretty.  It is swollen now since it is only 4 weeks but will get much more refined in the ensuing months!  Her eyes are brighter, her face appears more heart shaped, her chin is more balanced and she looks glowing!!! Her eyes are sparkling with a new confidence! I am grateful for her entrusting her face in my hands! #rhinoplastybeforeandafter #nosejob #rhinoplastyspecialist #rhinoplastydiary #rhinoplastynyc #rhinoplastysociety #rhinoplastysurgery #rhinoplastynosesurgery #rhinoplastyjourney #rhinoplastyexpert #rhinoplastysurgeon #rhinoplastygallery #plasticsurgerybeforeandafter #plasticsurgeryinstagram #plasticsurgerynyc #parkavenueplasticsurgery #plasticsurgery #septorhinoplasty #nosejobbeforeandafter #newnose

#wowwednesday !! Today I saw this 72 year old patient of mine 5 months after I performed her #plasticsurgery and I love how refreshed she looks!! today at her follow up visit.  She was concerned about the aging of her face, forehead, eyelids, nose and neck. I performed a #deepplanefacelift, #platysmaplasty #ptosisrepair and #temporallift .  She wanted to rejuvenate her drooping jawline, #jowls,and hanging neck. She also wanted to open her eyes.  The #lateraltemporalbrowlift lifts the corner of the brow lifting the upper eyelids and creating a feminine arch to the brow.  The ptosis correction lifts the upper eyelid.  I reduced her dorsal hump and lifted the #nasaltip  with the #rhinoplasty which pulls it all together!!! She looks soo natural but years younger and aesthetically balanced! She is a physician so I am honored she trusted me with with her face.  She and her husband are such a wonderful people.  We talk about our kids, food, travel.  We have so much in common!  I feel like we were destined to be friends, this is one reason I love my job! #plasticsurgerybeforeandafter #faceliftbeforeandafter #lipliftresults #faceliftnyc #faceliftdubai #facelifts

12 weeks post- #deepplanefacelift !  I saw her today at her follow up visit.  I posted her at 8 weeks when she was still swollen, and now you can see that she is settling nicely.  She shared her before selfie with me today and I was so excited to see her transformation! She was concerned about the aging of her face, forehead, eyelids, lips, and neck. I performed a #deepplanefacelift, #platysmaplasty upper and lower #blepharoplasty #ptosisrepair #temporallift #liplift #hairlineloweringsurgery and #fatgraft and finesse #rhinoplasty !! She wanted to rejuvenate her drooping cheeks, #jowls,and hanging neck.  While the #deepplanefacelift lifts the cheeks, she had significant loss of volume of the cheeks, temples and lower eyelid tear trough/hollows to replenish soft tissue atrophy that occurs with age.  She also wanted to open her eyes and create better proportions to her upper lip and nose.  The #lateraltemporalbrowlift lifts the corner of the brow lifting the upper eyelids and creating a feminine arch to the brow.  Lowering her hairline gives her forehead more proportion, and makes her face look more feminine.  The #lipliftsurgery shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip and makes the upper lip slightly fuller.  The upper lip becomes longer with age and gravity so it makes you look instantly younger when it is lifted.  To add volume back to the lips I performed a #smaslipgraft .  I created more #nasaltip refinement with the #rhinoplasty which pulls it all together!!! She looks soo natural but years younger and aesthetically balanced! I am honored she traveled all the way from Missouri and trusted me with with her face.  She is such a wonderful person, so kind, friendly and genuinely interested in people.  I could talk to her for days, we have a lot in common, and we live by the golden rule treat people how you want to be treated .  I know we will be friends for years !! #plasticsurgerybeforeandafter #faceliftbeforeandafter #lipliftresults #faceliftnyc #faceliftdubai #facelifts

I also removed her #platysmalbands with a #platysmaplasty . She was worried about scarring but you can see how no scars are visible even with her short pixie haircut! I love #lipliftsurgery because it totally changes the balance of the face!!! She looks so much more refreshed and rejuvenated but not like she had #plasticsurgery !

A big thank you to @wsj @wsjmag and @fifival for including me in this piece on the surge in pre-summer #facelift and for highlighting the #deepplanefacelift as the gold standard in facelifting procedures. "These days, the gold standard is the deep-plane face-lift, which lifts the supportive layer beneath the face s muscle instead of just its superficial layer (or SMAS, the superficial muscular aponeurotic system). The effect of a deep-plan facelift is generally more natural, less pulled and taut than superficial lifts." My Minimal Access Deep Plane Extended (M. A. D. E) Facelift lifts the deep structures of the face so that the face appears smooth and not tight under the skin, using hidden incisions made possible by endoscopic technology. Since the incisions are completely hidden, my female patients are able to wear their hair up without visible scars, and my male patients are free to wear short haircuts or shave their heads because of hair loss. #faceliftspecialist #faceliftnyc #plasticsurgeonnnyc #plasticsurgerynyc

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.
