Does plastic surgery change your face?

09/08/2022 by DR. ANDREW JACONO

A young woman who is surrounded by pictures of parts of her face as an older woman.

As you can see by the before and after pictures that Dr. Jacono has on this site, plastic surgery face changes can be dramatic and life-changing. When it comes to how to drastically change your appearance, plastic surgery can do wonders. 

It might not be able to give you an entirely new face (although it can come close!) but it can definitely de-age you and make you into a more beautiful version of yourself, the pretty face that has been hiding inside and waiting to come out. It is hard to understate the change that plastic surgery can have on the face of someone who is determined to radically transform themselves in the hands of an expert plastic surgeon. 

Because make no mistake: plastic surgery is not a makeup routine, not red lipstick. It is not changing your face in the way that cutting your hair to frame your face is going to reduce the signs of aging. That approach may be good for some, but it’s as temporary as your haircut, and the wrinkles and sagging on your face will remain, no matter how cute your hairstyle is. Long hair, short hair, colored hair–they’re not going to do the same that facial plastic surgery will. 

What plastic surgery changes your face the most?

A traditional facelift changes your face more than less invasive procedures such as a ponytail lift or a brow lift. A traditional facelift is a surgical procedure that can change your face shape by removing or reshaping the excess fat and tissue under the skin. The doctor, who is part cosmetic surgeon and part sculptor and artist, is creating a new you. 

Of course, this is only to the extent that you want to change. Cosmetic procedures are not something to take lightly and getting a facelift or any cosmetic surgery is a big step that you’re going to be living with for years. So you want to be sure that, number one, you’re getting the right reshaping that you want and, number two, that you have the utmost confidence in your plastic surgeon. 

A facelift is technically a semi-permanent procedure, but only in the sense that a facelift will last around a decade or so–sometimes longer, sometimes a little shorter. So when you make the decision to have cosmetic surgery, you want to make sure that you’re getting the look that you want. 

Now, how to make yourself look unrecognizable? That’s an entirely different kettle of fish. A facelift that changes your entire look may seem like something out of a spy movie, but it’s very true that a skilled plastic surgeon can, with the proper tools and time, make your face into a different face. 

Not many people want such a drastic change, but if you do, and you’ve got an expert surgeon like Dr. Jacono, you can do so much more than just shaping up the sags in your face and neck. You can become a different you. 

How Much Will Facial Plastic Surgery Change Your Life?

Love it or hate it, we live in a world where so much depends on the version of ourselves that we put forward into the world. Just as you wouldn’t go into a job interview missing a tooth or go to a party with a bright red stain on your beautiful white designer dress, appearances are going to get you places in this world that you can’t get without a little help.

It’s often said that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but the truth is that judging books is EXACTLY the reason why publishers invest so much money into beautiful covers on their books. They know that, if you’re perusing the shelves at a store and you see two books, you’re going to pick up the one with the cover that appeals to you more. 

Maybe the world is shallow, maybe people aren’t seeing the real person underneath, but this principle applies to all of us as well. Beautiful people get the interviews, get the jobs, get the promotions. Beautiful people get the dates, get the marriage proposals, get their pick of suitors. We DO judge books by their covers, so why not make your “cover” the best it can be? 

How much does a face change cost?

It’s hard to put a number on what facial plastic surgery costs, because there are so many different procedures, and even in the same procedure, the doctor will be doing different techniques with different patients. Again, a plastic surgeon is part artist, and it’s only when you get a one-on-one meeting with Dr. Jacono that you will be able to know what is required, what the goals are, and ultimately how much it will cost. 

Generally speaking, facial plastic surgery can range between $10,000 and $40,000. That’s an enormous range, obviously, so you should wait until you get your consultation with the doctor to get the answers you’re looking for.

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.
