Corrective Plastic Surgery

Info About Corrective Plastic Surgery (Revision Plastic Surgery) in New York City with Dr. Andrew Jacono.

What is Corrective Plastic Surgery?

Sometimes, plastic surgery does not go as planned. This can be the result of a number of factors, including the patient’s health and the surgeon’s expertise. Infrequently, there can be unexpected physical complications after surgery.

Corrective plastic surgery allows patients to revise results they are unhappy with. Dr. Jacono specializes in many revision techniques that not only make clients look better but also improve their quality of life.

Can You Fix Botched Plastic Surgery?

Luckily, botched plastic surgery results do not have to be permanent. Dr. Jacono has many years of experience fixing outcomes that do not meet patients’ standards. In fact, a significant portion of Dr. Jacono’s practice is dedicated to revision and reconstructive surgery.

What Are Examples of Reconstructive Surgery?

There are many kinds of reconstructive plastic surgery. Most are geared toward restoring normal appearance and function to body parts affected by injury, diseases, and congenital defects. Cleft lip and palate repair is an example of reconstructive surgery that provides functional and cosmetic results.

Sometimes, reconstruction is required when a previous surgery’s outcomes cause physical and emotional damage. A rhinoplasty patient whose nose has collapsed, for example, may need a revision rhinoplasty.

Dr. Jacono offers many reconstructive surgical services, including:

Revision Facelift

Revision facelifts, or secondary facelifts, are for patients who have already had a facelift. Dr. Jacono specializes in this corrective surgery and has developed unique techniques for it. Patients who consult Dr. Jacono for revision facelifts have very different needs from those who have not yet had surgery.

Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty corrects the results of a previous “nose job.” Dr. Jacono regularly treats revision rhinoplasty patients who wish to look better and address functional issues like breathing problems.

Revision Eyelift / Ectropion Repair / Ptosis Repair

Eyelid tissue is extremely delicate and can be difficult for some surgeons to work with. A doctor who lacks expertise in eye lifting can even cause functional trauma to the eyes. Unlike other surgeons, Dr. Jacono has been extensively trained in revision blepharoplasty and provides the best results.

While swelling and other cosmetic issues normally resolve within 3 to 6 months, more serious problems may require a revision procedure. There are two types of revision eyelid surgery: ectropion repair and ptosis repair.

Revision Lip Augmentation

The most common sign of poor lip augmentation is asymmetry. This is normally caused by scar tissue, infections, and implant extrusion. Dr. Jacono is an expert in revision lip augmentation surgery and has helped countless patients reclaim the beauty of their lips.

---

Chin and Cheek Implant Revision

Chin and cheek implants augment the chin and cheekbones. Revision implant surgery corrects the results of a previous procedure. Dr. Jacono is a master at these revision surgeries and is happy to improve patients’ quality of life.

---

Revision Browlift

If a surgeon elevates the brow too aggressively, the result can look artificial. Gentler lifts can also lift the hairline and make men and women look older. The best way to avoid poor results is to choose a surgeon who has proven ability. Dr. Jacono has extensive training and expertise in revision browlifts.

Who Gets Reconstructive Surgery?
