High-profile patients rarely discuss cosmetic surgery openly, which makes the public endorsements of Dr. Andrew Jacono’s work notable. Fashion designer Marc Jacobs confirmed in 2021 that Dr. Andrew Jacono performed his facelift, praising results that looked natural rather than surgically altered. Fellow plastic surgeon Dr. Paul Nassif chose the same surgeon for his own deep-plane facelift in 2018, a decision that carries particular weight given his own expertise in the field.
Both cases point to what has made Dr. Jacono’s extended deep-plane technique stand out among facial plastic surgeons. Rather than tightening skin from above, as conventional facelifts do, his method repositions skin, muscle and fat together, working beneath the superficial musculoaponeurotic system to shift the midface, jawline and neck vertically.
A Technique Trusted by Peers
Dr. Nassif’s choice reflects something beyond marketing. Surgeons who understand facelift anatomy in detail have particular reason to scrutinize outcomes before choosing a procedure for themselves, and his decision to select Dr. Jacono’s method signals confidence within the surgical community itself.
Published data support that confidence. Early studies of 153 patients recorded a 3.9 percent revision rate and a 1.3 percent rate of temporary facial nerve injury, figures that fall below typical rates for facelift surgery. Results also last twelve to fifteen years, roughly double the durability of standard SMAS facelifts.
Results That Speak for Themselves
Marc Jacobs’s public comments echoed a theme common among Dr. Jacono’s patients: satisfaction with a refreshed look rather than an obviously altered one. That natural appearance stems from restoring the face’s underlying architecture instead of creating tension through skin tightening alone.
Dr. Jacono performs roughly 250 deep-plane facelifts annually and has trained surgeons internationally in what he calls “The Jacono Method.” High-profile patients choosing his approach, and speaking about it openly, have helped bring the extended deep-plane technique into mainstream conversation about facial rejuvenation.
