What Is the Natural Facelift?

The Natural Facelift, pioneered by Dr. Sadati, was built on his groundbreaking Triple C SMAS Plication technique, which he first published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery more than a decade ago. This method repositions and tightens the SMAS layer—the supportive structure beneath the skin—by folding it over itself. The result is a smoother, more defined lower face and neck with natural-looking improvements that avoid the “pulled” appearance often associated with traditional facelifts. Performed comfortably under local anesthesia with twilight sedation, the technique also allows patients to recover more efficiently while minimizing the risks of general anesthesia.

 Although the Triple C approach proved highly effective for rejuvenating the lower face and neck, it does have its limitations. Because the deeper retaining ligaments of the face remain intact, this technique does not address sagging in the midface or restore youthful volume and lift in the cheeks. Recognizing these boundaries, Dr. Sadati continued to refine his surgical methods, ultimately developing a more advanced and comprehensive solution: the Preservation Deep Plane Facelift. By releasing and repositioning the deeper facial structures, this newer technique addresses the entire face—lower, mid, and jawline—delivering more complete, balanced, and longer-lasting facial rejuvenation.

Preservation Deep Plane Lift vs. Traditional Facelift Techniques

Traditional facelifts often involve pulling the skin horizontally, which can lead to an unnatural, "pulled" appearance. In contrast, the Preservation Deep Plane Lift, pioneered by Dr. Sadati, releases and repositions deeper facial tissues vertically. This technique addresses sagging in the midface, jowls, and neck, offering a more harmonious and youthful look with minimal scarring and a quicker recovery time.​
