Dr. Andrew Jacono Documents His Technique in New Textbook
Surgical techniques rarely earn their own textbook, but the extended deep-plane facelift has one. Dr. Andrew Jacono, the New York facial plastic surgeon who pioneered the approach, published The Art and Science of Extended Deep Plane Facelifting in 2021, more than a decade after introducing the technique itself to the surgical world.
Thousands of Procedures, One Reference
The textbook synthesizes insights from more than 2,000 procedures, giving surgeons a detailed reference for adopting the method rather than relying solely on conference lectures or master classes. It builds on Dr. Andrew Jacono’s earlier peer reviewed study, published in Aesthetic Surgery Journal in 2011, which detailed outcomes from 153 patients and first established the technique’s clinical footing among facial plastic surgeons who were still relying on older skin tightening methods.
From Page to Practice
The book covers a method that operates beneath the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, releasing facial ligaments and repositioning the midface, jawline and neck as one connected unit of skin, muscle and fat. Clinical outcomes referenced throughout include a 3.9 percent revision rate and a 1.3 percent temporary facial nerve injury rate, both below typical averages for facelift procedures. With roughly 250 deep-plane facelifts performed annually and lectures delivered at international conferences, Dr. Jacono’s textbook gives other surgeons a written path toward reproducing results that have already drawn attention from patients and colleagues alike around the world.
The textbook arrives alongside other efforts to spread the method, including master classes and lectures Dr. Jacono has delivered at international plastic surgery conferences under what he brands the Jacono Method. Fashion designer Marc Jacobs and fellow surgeon Dr. Paul Nassif have both publicly chosen Dr. Jacono for their own facelifts, adding real world visibility to the techniques described across the book’s chapters. Those endorsements, paired with the textbook’s technical detail, give the method both public visibility and a documented surgical record. Read this article for additional information.
