African Teenager gets Rare Plastic Surgery

Rare Plastic Surgery Procedure

Rare Plastic Surgery Performed on African Teenager to Create an Ear and Reverse Facial Disfigurement

Thanks to probono facial surgery and services donated by Schneider Children’s Hospital(SCH), a 17-year-old orphan from Ghana, West Africa is gaining self-confidence and a getting a new start on life. (Photo: https://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070621/NYTH134A )

Adwoa Frimpomaah was referred to Andrew Jacono, MD, Section Head of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at North Shore University Hospital, for surgery toreconstruct a new ear and repair facial scars. She was seriously injured ina pedestrian-car accident in Ghana in 2004 while walking to a nearbyvillage; the driver fled the scene and the accident was never investigated.The collision ripped off half of her scalp on the right side, leaving herwith no hair, massive scars on her right cheek and two-thirds of her rightear destroyed. Her legs were broken and her teeth knocked out. Following the accident, Adwoa spent four months in a Ghanese hospital,but because of the limited availability of medical and surgical care in herhomeland, facial reconstruction was out of the question. In July 2006,Adowa was put in touch with Dr. Jacono by a small American outreach group,Beyond Our Borders, based in St. James, NY and headed by Vic and JeanValente. Dr. Jacono is a participating volunteer surgeon with the nonprofitgroup. Adwoa lives with Mr. and Mrs. Valente, her sponsors.

Dr. Jacono and Schneider Children’s Hospital (SCH) waived the fees forthe 6 1/2-hour surgery, which took place in December 2006, one day beforeAdwoa’s 17th birthday. To reconstruct Adwoa’s ear, Dr. Jacono harvested her”floating rib” from her left rib cage and cartilage to create the rim ofher ear. Because of severe trauma to the skin on her scalp, Dr. Jacono performed a complex flap reconstructive procedure to cover the newframework of the ear and used a skin graft from Adwoa’s leg to cover thetop part of her ear. Dr. Jacono performed a second surgery in May, whichseparated the flap and created a natural groove behind her ear with anotherskin graft. He also performed a modified face lift to reduce facialscarring. “When Dr. Jacono approached Schneider Children’s Hospital about helpingAdwoa after her horrific accident, we did not hesitate to help her,” saidPhilip Lanzkowsky, MD, executive director of SCH. “Adwoa had already lostso much; the surgery was something tangible that we could provide to makeher life better. Improving the health and well-being of children is themission of the Children’s Hospital and it crosses all geographic andpolitical boundaries.” “Although Adwoa’s condition did not present any major functionaldisturbances, facial disfigurement is traumatic and psychological scars canlast a lifetime,” said Dr. Jacono. “The reconstructive surgery has restoredAdwoa’s self-esteem. She is like most teenagers — very self consciousabout her looks — and it is a great joy to see her happy again.” For more information see www.newyorkfacialplasticsurgery.com or www.northshorelij.com.

#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! She is from Miami, so I am grateful she cane all the way to New York to see me!  #ilovemyjob #plasticsurgerybeforeandafter #faceliftbeforeandafter #faceliftnyc #faceliftspecialist #faceliftexpert #plasticsurgerynyc #plasticsurgeon #plasticsurgeonnyc #liplifting #lipliftsurgery #extendeddeepplanefacelift #minifacelift #bullhornliplift #eyeliftsurgery #plasticsurgery #upperliplift #upperlipliftsurgery

Today I am working on my new #deepplanefacelift textbook to be published by @qualitymedicalpublishinginc and I came across this #plasticsurgerybeforeafter I performed .  This beautiful 46 year old woman had premature aging with loss of her jawline contour and neck laxity with #platysmalbands .  I performed a #deepplanefacelift for #jowls and #necklift with #platysmaplasty.  I love that her incisions are not visible with her hair pulled back because I use a minimal access incision inside and behind the ears that cannot he seen.  I performed a #closedrhinoplasty at the same time.  As we age the the nasal tip droops.  The #nasaltipplasty with removal of her #dorsalhump are the icing on the cake of this wonderful transformation!!! She is such an amazing down to earth woman, and she tells me how her surgery has given her a new confidence she hasn’t felt in years, and her husband is blown away that she looks like she did when they started dating over a decade ago!

#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

A brisk 7 mile run this morning on #southamptonny in 30 degree weather was made so much better by this warm #manofaran wool hat from #dublin I received as a Christmas gift from one of my #deepplanefacelift patients from Ireland.  I think it makes my beard look grayer LOL!! I still remember when I took off her bandages she said “Holy Mary Mother of God, I look like a child!” She was getting ready for her daughter’s wedding.  One of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.  She even sent Christmas gifts to all my staff with personalized notes!  I have the best patients.  I hope she sends some pics for me to share!

#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!

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.
