Revision Eye Lift: Fixing Botched Eyelid Surgery

Information About Revision Eye Lift Surgery in New York, NY with Dr. Andrew Jacono

What Is a Revision Eye Lift?

Sometimes, eye lift surgery does not go as planned. Botched upper eyelid surgery may leave the lids appearing wrinkled, swollen, and even asymmetrical. In these cases, surgeons may perform a revision blepharoplasty procedure (eyelid correction surgery).  Blepharoplasty revision surgery requires knowledge of specialized techniques, but it can restore natural beauty to the eyes.

Dr. Jacono has extensive experience in reconstructive eyelid treatments and specializes in revision eyelid surgery–he’s a blepharoplasty revision specialist. The eyelid’s tissues are very delicate and can be difficult to treat, so revision blepharoplasty must be performed with extreme precision.

There are two types of revision blepharoplasty. The first technique fixes under-correction, which is when extra eyelid skin and fat are left behind. The second technique is performed when too much skin and fat are removed, making the eyes look sunken. This procedure aims to restore volume to the eyes.

Dr. Jacono is a master at facial revision surgery and is considered one of the best revision eye lift surgeons. His outcomes are consistently outstanding, even in cases of botched double eyelid surgery.

What Causes Eyelid Ptosis?

Ptosis is a condition that causes the eyelids to droop over the eye. This is usually an aesthetic problem, but sometimes, the sagging eyelid obstructs vision.

Ptosis has a number of causes. Some people are born with the condition. Others experience ptosis after suffering trauma to the nerves and muscles that control the eyelids. The eyelids may also naturally droop with age, as gravity progressively weakens the skin and muscles around the eyes.

Poorly executed eyelid surgery can also cause ptosis. In these instances, surgeons accidentally damage the levator muscle, which controls eyelid movement. This results in sagging lids and other complications.

Can Eyelid Ptosis (Droopy Eyelid) Be Reversed?

Luckily, persistent ptosis can be reversed with surgery–ptosis revision surgery. This procedure is called ptosis repair. Dr. Jacono tightens the levator muscle, which raises the eyelid to a more desirable position. This surgery offers both cosmetic and functional solutions that improve patients’ quality of life.

Ptosis can sometimes be treated with an endoscopic brow lift. If the forehead and brow droop severely, they can make the eyelids look heavy. The endoscopic brow lift lifts tissue, and releases pressure from the eyelids, causing them to open.

What Is Ectropion and How Is it Caused?

Ectropion is a condition in which the eyelid turns outward, making the eyes appear rounder and less almond-shaped. It also exposes the inner eyelid. This can cause a number of cosmetic and functional concerns, like dryness and irritation.

Ectropion has a few causes. With age, the muscles beneath the eyes weaken, and the eyelids droop. Certain conditions, like Bell’s palsy, can lead to ectropion.

Botched lower blepharoplasty may also cause ectropion. In fact, ectropion is one of the most common complications of lower eyelid surgery.

Dr. Jacono performs ectropion repair with a variety of techniques. For example, lateral canthal surgery can tighten the lower eyelid’s tendons. Endoscopic midface surgery can also support the lower eyelids by lifting the cheeks.

How Much Does Blepharoplasty Revision Cost?

Eyelid revision surgery, or blepharoplasty revision, can sometimes cost less than the original eyelid surgery. While revision eyelid surgery costs can begin as little as $1500 up to $3500, the actual cost will be determined based on many factors including the surgical skills, location, and revision needed.

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.
