What is a Facelift?

best facelift surgeon world

“In his facelift surgery Doctor Jacono minimizes any visible scars and creates a natural rejuvenated look. He has performed thousands of facelifts and has never performed the exact same surgery twice. He uses a customized, bespoke approach with each facelift to the patient. ”

Facial aging is the results of two factors, gravitational drooping of the facial muscles and loss of volume and thickness of the soft tissues and skin of the face. These changes create folds, contours and shadows in the face that make us look tired, stressed and simply older. The heart shape face of youth becomes more rectangular with jowls widening the appearance of the jawline which loses the definition. Facelift surgery improves these signs of aging to restore a more refreshed and youthful facial appearance, often turning the clock by 10 years or more. Facelift techniques corrects the sagging facial tissue, the jowls, the drooping skin under the chin (“turkey neck”), dropped cheeks, and deep creases from the outer nostrils to the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds). When performed correctly by a specialized facial plastic surgeon like Dr Jacono, the procedure achieves a natural, beautifully revitalized version of yourself. Dr Jacono is considered by his patients to be one of the best facelift surgeons in New York City, and by his peers one of the best facelift surgeons in the world.

Facelift – Face Lift Surgery – Best Face Lift Results

If your face has sagging and other significant signs of aging, it might be time for a facelift in New York City from Dr. Jacono. To see if you are a candidate, place your hands along the middle part of your jaw with your index fingers pointing upward and thumbs under the jaw, and pull gently upward, vertically against gravity. You may be a candidate for a facelift if you like the results. Dr Jacono wants potential patients to understand that a vertical facelift is the correct procedure, and that pulling back toward your ears like most surgeons do will create pulled corners of the mouth, or “puppet mouth” that plagues many Hollywood celebrities.

Mini Facelift Before and After. This woman in her fifties had a mini facelift with a short scar approach. Her hair is pulled back after surgery and there are no visible incisions. This is the ponytail approach.


You Are Ready for a Facelift if…

  • Your look older than you feel.
  • Your look older than your actual age.
  • Non-surgical treatments such as Botox, injectable fillers, facial lasers, and skin tightening devices do not give you the same rejuvenation they once did years ago.
  • You are looking for a low-maintenance, long lasting (years!) treatment for your aging face.
  • You desire to enhance your appearance for yourself, not to please others.
  • You are in good physical health and good mental health.
  • You are ready to look a decade or younger.

The Benefits of a Facelift from Dr. Jacono?

Dr. Jacono uses advanced facelift techniques to provide results that appear completely natural so that people will notice your rejuvenated appearance without the evidence of surgery. His patients tell him that their family members and friends tell them how great they look, but never figure out they had plastic surgery. They think they look healthy, lost weight, look vibrant, or changed their haircut or skin care regimen. They want to know their secrets, but the truth is their secret is a facelift. With his custom tailored approach, the days of looking “pulled” are over. He does not perform a facelift the same on any two patients, and he has performed thousands of facelifts. Dr. Jacono offers different types of facelifts to suit the individual needs of his patients (more on these below). For complete facial rejuvenation. facelift surgery can be combined with other procedures.

Sub-SMAS Facelift Before and After. This woman had more significant drooping of her jowls and neck requiring more than a mini-facelift. Sub-SMAS surgery is performed with the SMAS flap or deep plane approach.


Dr Jacono’s facelift patients often experience increased confidence and no longer shy away from making appearances because after the procedure they look more attractive and refreshed. They say they feel younger! As the old saying goes, “When you look good, you feel good.” Looking in the mirror every day and seeing a more youthful face is re-energizing.

Multiple Options for Facelifts

Mini-Facelift (SMAS Plication/ SMAS Imbrication, Smasectomy)

The mini-facelift is not as much surgery as a full facelift which most people do not need. For doctors it is referred to as a “short flap” facelift. It rejuvenates the lower face for patients with mild to moderate sagging that causes early jowls and excess skin in the lower face and neck.

This procedure utilizes a mini, “short scar facelift”, or s-type incision creating a ponytail face lift that hides the incision behind the ears around the inside of the small rectangular “tragus” at the opening of the ears, and end behind the earlobes and back of the ear.

Ponytail Facelift Before and After. Because of her short haircut this woman required a ponytail facelift approach to make incisions not visible.


The SMAS is the underlying muscular system in the lower face. It is tightened as needed for smoother facial contour and an uplifted appearance. The SMAS is not lifted as will be described below for the SMAS flap and deep plane techniques, but is tightened differently. In SMAS plication, sutures are placed to elevate it, in SMAS imbrication it is folded on itself, and in SMASectomy an excessive piece of it is removed and stitched tighter like hemming long pants. For younger patients that do not have heavy jowls or significant facial aging, the mini-facelift is the recommended procedure.

Mini Facelift Before and After. This woman is a busy executive and is tired of maintaining her appearance with injectable. A mini facelift with a short scar approach gave her a long lasting rejuvenation.


  • The lower face and neck get more youthful contours.
  • Resulting scars are almost undetectable once healed.

SMAS Flap Facelift

For patients with heavier facial tissues, and more advanced aging, a SMAS flap facelift is indicated. SMAS flap facelift techniques do not simply suture the SMAS up but lift the SMAS and platysma muscle. A muscle “flap” is created, lifting the muscle off the structure of the face, and smoothing it out, almost like lifting the covers up and making a bed. As we age, extra SMAS is created. This extra SMAS is removed and then it is secured higher in the face from which it dropped. This is a true structural re-engineering that re-supports the beams of the face that weaken with age.

Sub-SMAS Facelift Before and After. This woman had more significant aging with a heavy jawline and neck without definition. Dr Jacono performed a sub-SMAS surgery with a deep plane approach.


  • Better results for patients with more significant dropping and heavier neck and jowls.
  • Provides longer lasting results than a mini facelift.

Deep Plane Facelift

The deep plane facelift is the most rejuvenating procedure in facelift surgery. In addition to the jawline and neck, it lifts the cheek areas using the same incision as the short-flap facelift plus a hidden extension into the hairline behind the ears. The muscle and fibrous tissue are separated from the underlying layers of the cheeks, face and neck. The skin fat and underlying muscles are left connected and moved as a unit, not separated as in SMAS flap techniques. The deep tissues are then lifted using a vertical facelift vector to reverse gravity. Doctor Jacono is a global authority in deep plane face-lifting and is considered one of the best deep plane facelift surgeons in the world. Many experienced surgeons recognize that the deep plane face lift delivers the most natural long-lasting facelift results.

Dee Plane Facelift Before and After. This woman wanted more significant rejuvenation. Dr Jacono performed a sub-SMAS surgery with a deep plane approach to lift her cheeks as well as her neck. He performed a lip lift surgery at the same time.


  • Most rejuvenating of all facelift techniques.
  • Lifts the cheeks as well as the jawline and neck.
  • Natural-looking result.
  • Provides the longest lasting effect of all facelift techniques.

Non-Surgical Facelift

ULTHERAPY/ THERMITIGHT

There are many people who want some face lifting but are not ready for surgery, either mentally, financially or logistically. Those with early jowls but are not quite ready for a facelift might consider a non-surgical facelift treatment to lift and tone loose or sagging skin. The most state-of-the-art and effective treatments available today are Ultherapy and Thermitight.

Ultherapy addresses the deep skin layers as well as the foundational layer that lends support to the skin. This foundational layer in the face is called the SMAS, and in the neck, the platysma. Ultrasound allows me to bypass the upper layers of the skin and deliver the right amount of energy at the right depths to contract and then ultimately lift the SMAS and platysma. Effective and safe ultrasound energy from Ultherapy are used to simulate the supportive layers of the skin and will provide noticeable and natural results.

The ThermiTight device uses a small electrode which is inserted under the skin. It then begins to heat the tissue to a clinician-selected therapeutic temperature. Dr Jacono applies gentle movements to heat up the tissues to the desired level. Skin safety is monitored with Thermal Image Guidance®. Because the thermal energy is delivered with the probe under the skin within the subcutaneous (under the skin) fat layer, it melts away excess fat in all areas of your lower face, jawline, and neck. It is not surgery, but some mild bruising that occurs. The probe also glides over the surface of the muscles, thermally tightening them as well. This is why it can be much more effective than the older generation of RF devices (whose probes simply sit on the surface of the skin) like Thermage.

These procedures are great for younger patients who want to “stay ahead of the game” as well as those looking to prolong the effects of previous cosmetic surgery.

  • The surface of the skin is not cut or disrupted.
  • Designed to target specifically the deep foundation tissue below the skin’s surface.
  • Non-invasive procedure with little to no downtime.

Which Type of Facelift Is Right for Me?

It can be difficult to decide which procedure is right for your appearance and your goals. For this reason, Dr. Jacono recommends a consultation. During this consultation, he will carefully examine your face and neck to evaluate your facial bone structure, features, skin texture, and elasticity. He will note your skin type and how all of your features contribute to your appearance. In many cases, there are small procedures such as chin implants or an eye lift that can contribute to your facelift by emphasizing your natural features and balancing your face. Dr. Jacono will discuss whether any of these procedures could help you meet your appearance goals. The end result should be the total facial rejuvenation you desire.

#40isthenew20 !!! Today I saw this beautiful 41 year old woman after I performed her #plasticsurgerybeforeandafter !! She was frustrated because  fillers and non-surgical treatments were no longer improving her appearance and she wanted to rejuvenate her appearance permanently.  In order to create natural beauty I corrected the upper middle and lower third of her face with small minimally invasive treatments done through hidden minimal access incisions.  I performed a minimal bc access #deepplanefacelift lateral #temporallift upper #blepharoplasty ( aka #eyelift ) #buccalfatremoval #necklift with #platysmaplasty and importantly both a #liplift .  The deep plane #facelift lifts the dropped cheeks combined with the #buccalfatpadremoval decreases the fullness of the lower cheeks.  As you can see her hair is pulled back and you cannot see any scars!  Both these procedures recreating the heart shape of youth.  The lip falls with age and the upper lip becomes too long making the face look older.  The #facelift does not correct this. You can see how the mole of her upper lip moves up and her lip looks fuller!!! The combo of the temporal lift and upper #eyelift opens rltfecetes and bagels them look vibrant and gorgeous!! She is such a wonderful lady so I am overjoyed for the new confidence she feels.  I am grateful that she has allowed me to be part of her journey and trusted me with her face!

#transformationthursday !!!Today I saw this beautiful 50 year old patient of mine just 3 weeks after I performed a #deepplanefacelift #platysmsplasty #necklift .  She like many of my patients come in for a #facelift when they turn 50 (it’s a landmark!) because they want to restore the definition in their face, jawline and neck before it gets worse.  They don’t want to wait until they have heavy #jowls and a #turkeyneck . When done earlier this will prevent further aging for the following 10 to 15 years before it gets ahead of you.  My MADE #deeplanefacelift treats early jowling and neck changes, with a small incision that is hidden so you can wear your hair back in a ponytail . At 3 weeks her hair is pulled behind her ears and the incisions are well hidden.  She loves her new look and so do I!!! Her jawline is so crisp and defined I just love it. #plasticsurgerybeforeandafter #faceliftbeforeandafter #faceliftnyc #faceliftdubai #faceliftspecialist #faceliftexpert #plasticsurgerynyc #plasticsurgeon #plasticsurgeonnyc #extendeddeepplanefacelift #minifacelift

#happynewyear !  This will be my last #plasticsurgerybeforeandafter post for 2020!  This beautiful patient of mine had accelerated aging and dropping of her face due to excessive filler use that stretched her face and eyelids.  It makes the lower eyelids look puffy and have a bluish tinge called the #tyndalleffect , the cheeks are weighed down and jawline looks wider with filler added to try to create more definition.  Early jowls form and neck droops from the stretched out skin.  Her case was complex, as I needed to remove the filler throughout her face during the surgery and resupport the stretched out muscle and remove excess skin.  She required a #deepplanefacelift #eyelift and #temporallift for the premature drooping. The temporal #browlift opens the upper eyelids that were weighed down.  The lower #blepharoplasty resupported the muscles and created a smooth lid cheek junction.  What I love most is how my minimal access deep plane facelift (M.A.D.E. lift) created  a very defined jawline and be k and high cheek bones with a heart shape face of youth!  Her hair is pulled back with confidence as the incisions are small and hidden inside and behind the war.  I think she looks beautiful and at least a decade younger.  I am grateful for her trust in me!  #faceliftnyc #facelift Dubai #faceliftspecialist #faceliftexpert #plasticsurgerynyc #plasticsurgeon #plasticsurgeonnyc #extendeddeepplanefacelift #plasticsurgery #minifacelift #eyeliftsurgery #upperliplift #bullhornliplift #plasticsurgery

#sixtyisthenewforty !! Just yesterday I performed a #deepplanefacelift on this 65 year old woman and this pic is immediately after her bandages came off on her first post-operative day I think she looks amazing!  She is the last #facelift I performed in 2020!! She is a #revisionfacelift case, she was frustrated with persistent Jowls and drooping neck just 1 year after a prior #smasfacelift with another surgeon.  Often with a droopier face and more significant aging  a SMAS facelift will not create a durable repair.  Some studies in the literature show a 50% failure rate at 2 years after A SMAS facelift.  I know this first hand because I used to perform SMAS procedures as my go to operation years ago.  This is the reason I prefer the deep plane approach, it works on the deep facial musculature and recreate the structure and underpinnings of the facial support that is longer lasting.  I not only performed a #deepplanefacelift to reposition the heavy deep fat and musculature but a #platysmaplasty for #platysmabands .  You can see we also fixed a #pixieears deformity from the prior operation.  We don’t use general anesthesia which makes it much safer.  She came all the way from Virginia!  She is the nicest woman and I feel blessed to be able to help her restore her confidence.  #faceliftnyc #faceliftbeforeandafter #faceliftspecialist #plasticsurgerynyc #plasticsurgerybeforeandafter #neckliftbeforeandafter #naturalfacelift #plasticsurgery #faceliftbeforeandafter #deepplanefaceliftbeforeandafter #faceliftdubai #faceliftspecialist #faceliftexpert #plasticsurgeonnyc #extendeddeepplanefacelift #neckliftbeforeandafter #nonsurgicalfacelift #faceliftsurgery #facelifting #liquidfacelift #faceliftnyc #faceliftbeforeandafter #faceliftspecialist #plasticsurgerypictures

This 65 year old patient was frustrated with her #jowls and drooping neck and #platysmalbands .  She also wanted to elevate her cheeks and smooth her #nasolabialfolds .  She always wanted to create a more refined look and disliked her prominent nose and recessed chin since her youth, so she decided to combine multiple #plasticsurgery procedure to achieve her goals.  I performed a #minifacelift technique that combines a #shortscarfacelift and #deepplanefacelift #necklift #platysmaplasty and #neckliposuction !  I LOVE LOVE LOVE her new jawline.  She is so happy her scars are already not  visible even with her hair pulled back!  I performed an #openrhinoplasty at the same time.  As we age the the nasal tip droops, making the nose appear longer and the bridge hump appear more prominent.  The #nasaltipplasty with removal of her #dorsalhump and #chinaugmentation create balance bringing out her inner beauty.  The #chinimplant balances the lower third of the face and the nose.

#understatedelegance #motherdaughtermakeover!!! This case was a combination of rejuvenation and creating more aesthetic balance and beauty. This 65 year old patient was frustrated with her #jowls and drooping neck and #platysmalbands . She also wanted to elevate her cheeks and smooth her #nasolabialfolds . She always wanted to create a more refined look and disliked her prominent nose and recessed chin since her youth, so she decided to combine multiple #plasticsurgery procedure to achieve her goals. I performed a #minifacelift technique that combines a #shortscarfacelift and #deepplanefacelift #necklift #platysmaplasty and #neckliposuction ! I LOVE LOVE LOVE her new jawline. She is so happy her scars are already not visible even with her hair pulled back! I performed an #openrhinoplasty at the same time. As we age the the nasal tip droops, making the nose appear longer and the bridge hump appear more prominent. The #nasaltipplasty with removal of her #dorsalhump and #chinaugmentation create balance bringing out her inner beauty. The #chinimplant balances the lower third of the face and the nose. I am grateful she trusted me with her face, one of the nicest people you will ever meet! She had the surgery to prepare fir her sons wedding and she was confidant and radiant that night!! #facelift #plasticsurgerybeforeandafter #deepplanefaceliftbeforeandafter #faceliftnyc #faceliftdubai #faceliftspecialist #plasticsurgerynyc #plasticsurgeon #plasticsurgeonnyc #extendeddeepplanefacelift #neckliftbeforeandafter #faceliftsurgery #facelifting ...

#transformationthursday !!! Today I saw this beautiful 58 year old patient of mine 8 weeks after I performed her #plasticsurgery .  I am so excited about how youthful and rejuvenated she looks, but more importantly how natural in her #plasticsurgerybeforeandafter !  She was worried about her dropping jawline, #jowls, fallen cheeks and #platysmabands and tired eyes.  I performed a  #deepplanefacelift #necklift #platysmaplasty and upper #eyeliftsurgery .  I lover her gorgeous new jawline and how crisp her be k looks!  I also performed a #liplift at the same time.  I also performed a #temporallift.  The temporal lift opens up her upper eyes and makes her look less tired while creating a youthful arched brow. As we age the upper lip elongates and droops which can make the cheeks appear more droopy.  The #upperliplift creates the aesthetic balance that makes the whole result better!! She is such a wonderful lady, we both have children in college and we talk about how are kids are doing.  We are going through things at the same time and help eachother.  I am grateful she trusted me with her face! #plasticsurgerybeforeandafter #faceliftbeforeandafter #faceliftnyc #faceliftdubai #faceliftspecialist #faceliftexpert #plasticsurgerynyc #plasticsurgeon #plasticsurgeonnyc #extendeddeepplanefacelift #minifacelift #bullhornliplift #eyeliftsurgery

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.
