Why Dr. Andrew Jacono’s Facelift Results Last Longer
Most facelift patients ask two questions before scheduling surgery: will it look natural, and how long will it last. For the extended deep plane technique developed by Dr. Andrew Jacono, published outcomes suggest an answer to the second question that sets it apart from more conventional approaches.
According to Dr. Jacono’s published outcomes, results from the technique last between 12 and 15 years, roughly twice as long as those from standard SMAS facelifts. That gap in longevity is not a marginal improvement. It changes the calculation patients make about cost, recovery time, and how often they will need to repeat the procedure over a lifetime.
STRUCTURE, NOT SURFACE, EXPLAINS THE DIFFERENCE
The extended deep-plane approach addresses structural changes at their source rather than treating surface symptoms. Conventional facelifts separate skin from the tissue beneath it and reposition only that outer layer, an approach that fights gravity temporarily but does little to change the underlying architecture that caused the sagging in the first place.
Dr. Jacono’s method instead repositions the midface, jawline, and neck as a connected unit, working beneath the superficial musculoaponeurotic system to release ligaments that have stretched over decades. Because the deeper tissue receives durable support rather than surface tension, the correction tends to hold up over time in a way that skin-only tightening cannot.
FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE HOW LONG RESULTS HOLD
Technique alone does not determine longevity. Lifestyle, skin quality, and ongoing skincare all affect how results age after surgery. Even accounting for those variables, the deeper structural approach that Dr. Andrew Jacono pioneered appears to provide a more durable foundation than techniques limited to the skin’s surface.
For patients weighing whether an extended recovery and more involved procedure are worth the tradeoff, longevity data offers a concrete way to measure the return on that investment over the years that follow surgery. Read this article for additional information.
