Minimally Invasive Facelift Techniques

Top New York City Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, Dr. Andrew Jacono, Reveals Why Minimally Invasive Facelifting Techniques Are Becoming Mainstream

Dr. Andrew Jacono Provides an In-Depth Look into Modern Patient Expectations and How Plastic Surgery Needs to Adapt

New York, NY (June 19, 2013) – A recent in-depth study authored by top New York City Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, Dr. Andrew Jacono, in the May 2013 issue of Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics of North America, reveals that consumers expect less invasive facelifting procedures, and that techniques are adapting to give consumers what they want. The study, entitled “The Modern Minimally Invasive Face Lift: Has It Replaced the Traditional Access Approach?,” examines patient expectations and how surgical techniques must adapt.

The primary finding of the study is that, as subspecialties of minimally invasive surgery have evolved, patients are shying away from techniques that require longer incisions. Today’s patients favor techniques that offer not only smaller incisions and less scarring, but also a shorter, less risky post-operative recovery.

Mini Facelift Surgery on the Rise

Due to the heightened expectation surrounding facelifting procedures, an increasing number of surgeons are adapting to minimally invasive methods. One particular procedure that has been adapted to meet growing patient needs and expectations is the MADE facelift, or Minimal-Access Deep-Plane Extended Vertical Vector Facelift. Developed by Dr. Jacono, the MADE facelift is a hybrid technique that combines shorter incisions with a deep-plane approach. This revolutionary procedure provides patients with not only longer-lasting results—between ten and twelve years—but also a significantly shorter recovery time.

“The MADE facelift is the most cutting edge approach to facelifts practiced today,” said Dr. Jacono. “This study reaffirms the fact that patients are looking for procedures that offer minimally invasive techniques and long lasting results. The MADE facelift offers both.”
