Before & After
Marc Jacobs Before And 9 Days After His Deep Plane Facelift and Necklift

Unhappy with the signs of aging, more specifically his lax neck and jowls, iconic fashion designer Marc Jacobs sought to reverse what gravity and aging were doing to his face by undergoing a deep plane facelift with New York top facelift surgeon, Dr. Andrew Jacono.
The 58-year-old fashion icon was not bashful about discussing the full experience on social media with his adoring fans who were quick to thank him for his transparency. He posted a selfie of him leaving the office right after the procedure, headdress, and all with a simple message; “Yesterday. @drjacono
#f*ckgravity #livelovelift“
A few days later, he also posted another photo on his IG account while he was about to start his hyperbaric oxygen therapy which enhances the body’s ability to heal and recover by breathing in 100% oxygen at 2 atmospheres of pressure increasing the body’s blood concentration of oxygen. Dr. Jacono performed a study in 2010 that was published in JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery showing how hyperbaric oxygen treatments speed healing and make bruising and swelling resolve more quickly after surgery. Oxygen helps wounds to heal and incision lines to blend away within weeks minimizing any scarring after facelift surgery.
“On the day Marc posted that picture,” says Dr. Jacono, “I was in the operating room prepping for surgery. Suddenly, my staff came in and said that he had just shared a photo of his face bandaged up. I was completely blown away—I hadn’t asked him to do it! But that’s Marc: he is transparent about everything in his life, which is so amazing and admirable.”
The Deep Plane Facelift Technique

Dr. Jacono is a world-leading facelift surgeon who has pioneered the extended deep plane facelift technique that involves lifting the underlying facial muscles, drooping deep facial fat planes and tightens the supportive facial ligaments that support the face. Similar to repairing an ACL in the knee, the deep facial ligament supports the face and neck so that it does not look tight or stretched. In fact, the ligaments are the zygomatic and masseteric cutaneous ligaments. In the neck, the cervical retaining ligaments are re-supported lifting the platysma muscle in the neck that creates vertical bands and cords in the neck as well as a “turkey neck” with redundant skin and muscle. The deep plane facelift and neck lift do not simply pull the skintight, so the results look natural and not pulled or plastic. “Marc Jacobs looks like himself but with a defined jawline and no neck laxity. I think he looks 15 to 20 years younger.”
Celebrity Plastic Surgery Continues to Shift
Marc Jacobs’ honesty may have inspired countless men and women to consider plastic surgery, but there is still a lot to be done before cosmetic procedures break free of their negative stigma.
“What surprises me is that the public expects celebrities to magically look the same year after year, yet if these people admit to having plastic surgery, they get disparaged,” says Dr. Jacono. “So, people are understandably reluctant to get surgery, even if they aren’t happy with the way they look.”
At the same time, Dr. Jacono believes that it’s unfair for influencers to pretend that, say, drinking eight glasses of water a day is what keeps them looking young. In fact, lying about beauty habits makes other people feel bad at best and genetically inferior at worst.
“This is why when people in prominent positions are willing to say, ‘Well, of course, I look great, I had work done,’ rather than attributing it to putting avocado oil on their skin, it empowers others to look into better, more reliable options.”
Fortunately, thanks to Marc Jacobs and a growing number of other icons, including Cardi B, Kaley Cuoco, and Jana Kramer, these taboos are slowly but surely lifting—and it seems to be only a matter of time before they vanish for good.
