“The deep plane facelift lifts a layer of tissue which is fibrous & inelastic, results last up to 10-15 years or even longer, effects are utmost natural, and avoid the stigma of overdone, tightness that can occur with traditional lifts!”
- With a remarkable track record of over 5,000 successful facelifts, Dr. Kevin Sadati stands out as a premier facial plastic surgeon in Newport Beach, CA.
- The deep plane is a second-generation technique in facial rejuvenation, treating the deeper layers, i.e., the SMAS, while leaving the overlying skin attached, yielding natural-looking outcomes that are neither too tight nor overdone.
- Dr. Sadati performs all deep plane procedures under twilight sedation, avoiding general anesthesia to ensure a safe surgical experience with minimal discomfort.
- Dr. Sadati’s preservation deep plane facelift addresses aging at its origin, allowing deeper dissections to achieve a seamless transition between the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
Why Choose Dr. Sadati’s Preservation Deep Plane Facelift?
The main characteristic of Dr. Sadati’s preservation deep plane facelift is that it lifts the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system, the muscular layer of the face), fat, and skin as a single unit, correcting multiple areas of aging concerns at the same time. Moreover, it allows for deeper releases, targeting the important tethering points in the cheek area and along the jawline, which facilitates the muscle layer to re-drape in a very smooth way under minimal tension. The results are mostly permanent and may last up to 10-15 years or even longer, depending on individual factors such as genetics or lifestyle.
Note: The results of deep plane are most durable than traditional facelift techniques because it works on structural aspects of the face rather than just the superficial layers.
According to a report of ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons), every year, the demand for facelift procedures in the USA is increasing (reported a 60% growth from 2024) because of the state-of-the-art techniques like preservation deep plane, and patients aged between 35-55 avail the benefits of rejuvenation procedures before more severe signs of aging occur. However, scheduling the in-person facelift consultation is the foremost task in achieving a younger, more confident look, giving you the chance to ask questions associated with the procedures and plan the surgery with ease and comfort.
The Benefits of having it:
A Properly Trained Surgeon identifies the Muscles of Facial Expressions:
The “deep plane” refers to the tissue layer between the SMAS and the muscles of facial expressions that lie deep to it and are responsible for movements like smiling, frowning, and other non-verbal expressions by pulling on the skin. However, a trained, experienced facial plastic surgeon can only identify the muscles of facial expressions that are covered by a thick layer of fascia, release the SMAS muscles with their attached skin and fat, and reposition them.
This technique avoids the removal of excessive skin or pulling on the skin; instead, it lifts the deeper tissues, facial muscles, and underlying structures, not just the skin, and enhances the facial appearance with a more natural-looking effect, especially in the midface, jowls, and nasolabial folds.
Avoid a stretched appearance by Vertical Lifting:
Unlike the traditional facelift technique, which often focuses on stretching skin backward towards the neck and ears, giving the face a very stretched appearance, Dr. Sadati’s preservation deep plane repositions facial structures upward rather than backward, creating a much more natural facial contour. However, the procedure helps restore youthful angles, the cheeks become volumized, and so avoids the “windblown” look.
Can Be Perfectly Paired with Other Cosmetic Procedures for A More Refreshed Look:
The deep plane is the ideal option for those seeking natural-looking results with a longer-lasting effect, often performed in conjunction with a neck lift to achieve optimal results. Moreover, it mostly avoids the need for concurrent fat transfer, as Dr. Sadati can reposition the deep facial tissues, including the fat pads, to restore a more youthful contour to the midface, cheeks, and jawline. Still, the need for fat transfer depends on the patient’s anatomy and the desired results. However, it can also allow for other adjunctive procedures to be performed at the same time, which helps achieve a harmonious appearance. Procedures such as eyelid lift (Blepharoplasty), brow lift, or buccal fat removal can be paired with a deep plane facelift, based on the patient’s surgical goals. Addressing aging in multiple facial areas at the same time saves costs, time, and reduces the surgeon’s fatigue.
