It's the latest craze in the nip and tuck world…going under the knife to re-do a previous plastic surgery. Many patients are looking to 'fix the fix'.

Georgette Deandressi is thrilled with how she looks today…but that wasn't always the case. Georgette was so self-conscious about her nose…she decided to get plastic surgery.

"I was hoping that it would look pretty much the same with all the irregularities taken out of it. But, I didn't want it to look 'done'," she explains.

But, after going under the knife, Georgette was even more unhappy. She thought her nose now looked unnatural.

"It became too small and it looked whittled away. It didn't look normal," she remembers.

Georgette went in a couple more times trying to get the look she originally hoped for. It wasn't until she went to Dr. Andrew Jacono's Office, where she now works, that she finally got the results she wanted.

"I do think my nose looks very natural. Actually, when I tell people that I've had surgery, they don't believe it," she says.

So many people are going in to re-do plastic surgeries these days, there's a name for the field: Revision Plastic Surgery.

"It's often done because a patient is not happy with the way the procedure turned out. Although patients are not disfigured, they don't look irregular, they're just not getting what they expected," Dr. Jacono explains.

They usually offer the surgery for things like face lifts, eye lifts, and nose jobs. Do a search online and you'll find doctors coast to coast who specialize in revision plastic surgery. Dr. Jacono now devotes up to forty percent of his practice to the cases.

"Often when patients come in for a revision plastic surgery, because they feel they got a very unnatural, sculpted, and what I call a cookie-cutter appearance," Dr. Jacono says.

He says another reason is because the original procedure is done too aggressively… like an over-pulled face or too much skin removed from the eye area.

"They want to look more beautiful, more enhanced. They just don't want to look like they went under the knife," Dr. Jacono points out.

When the result is not what the patient expects it can lead to serious anxiety, embarrassment, and withdrawal.

"There were times I did not want to go out. I did not like my picture taken. I was very uncomfortable and I just felt depressed," Georgette admits.

Kathy Kater is a psychotherapist who specializes in body image disorders. She says when the changes are unexpected …there's an actual grieving process….

"I think that people just don't realize how much just a little change can really change the whole overall picture, and so when they look in the mirror they don't look like themselves anymore and that could be very disturbing," Kater warns.

Since Georgette's last surgery, she's grateful the results are finally right on the nose!

"Words cannot express how I feel. I'm absolutely thrilled," Georgette beams.

So you're not disappointed after a plastic surgery procedure, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons recommends asking important questions before you go under the knife. Make sure to always find out your doctor's credentials, experience, and outcomes by requesting to see samples of the surgeon's work.
