Deep Plane Facelift Newport Beach & Orange County
The deep plane facelift is one of the most transformative and state-of-the-art techniques available for facial rejuvenation. Deep Plane facelift greatly improves the sagging cheeks that creates deep nasolabial folds or laugh lines, heavy jowls, and neck tissue in a composite SMAS flap. With this technique the more anterior portion of SMAS is elevated and suspended in a higher-up position, therefore creating a tension free on the skin flap that is associated with SMAS lift. The key to this technique is the release of four of the facial retaining ligaments to help the flap easily glide upward in its youthful position which is not achievable with the SMAS lift due to the fixation of fibrous SMAS laterally. Although the traditional facelift, high SMAS, or SMAS lift have long been industry-standard techniques in aging face, they can’t achieve a fully lifted midface and jowls.
The aging face is continual and the result of many different factors. Over time, the deep tissues of the face begin to weaken and succumb to gravity, resulting in deep-set signs of aging. The deep laugh lines, jowls, and neck laxity make the face appear square-shaped rather than heart shape.
As the field of plastic surgery advances, facelift techniques become more and more refined. The deep plane facelift is one of Dr. Kevin Sadati’s preferred options for advanced aging face because it produces the most artistic, natural, and beautiful results achievable in the hands of a board-certified plastic surgeon.
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kevin Sadati achieves a naturally elegant look with an artistic eye and decades of experience using various facelift techniques. If there is mild to moderated aging of the face, other facelift techniques can create natural and long-lasting results in the hands of an experienced and expert facial surgeon. A well-rounded surgeon must choose the right technique for the patient’s benefit in mind.
Deep Plane Facelift in Newport Beach
There are a variety of facelift techniques that can achieve transformative results, but for an advanced aging face, only the extended deep plane facelift can completely rejuvenate the face. The deep plane facelift works by releasing and restoring the deep layers of tissue in the face below the SMAS, or superficial musculoaponeurotic system. This layer consists of muscles and fascia that can begin to weaken and sag over time.
During the procedure, the ligaments that anchor the medial SMAS are released, allowing it to be repositioned and elevated independently of the overlying skin. This means the skin does not need to be extensively elevated in order to achieve lifting of the deep tissues (as with the traditional facelift). The result is a complete rejuvenation of the face at every layer.
My experience with Dr. Sadati was one of the best experiences I have ever had with a physician. I never had considered getting a face lift until I started feeling unhappy with how I looked in the mirror. He has really mastered his craft – Dr. Sadati is your guy if you are looking for a great facelift!

What are the Steps of a Deep Plane Facelift?
The deep plane facelift is performed using twilight sedation without the need for general anesthesia which reduced recovery time and complications. Patients are fully asleep with IV sedation and breathing on their own without a ventilation tube in the airways that are used during general anesthesia. Then all the sensory nerves of the face and neck are blocked, so you will not feel any pain during or after surgery. After numbing the deep tissue, incisions are made around the ears to gain access to the deep layers of the facial tissues. The ligaments of the deep plane will be released, allowing the SMAS to be resuspended and lifted. The skin will be gently re-draped over top of it to avoid a pulled or “pinned” look. Thrombin tissue adhesive is used to reduce bruising and swelling, then the incisions are closed using fine sutures. You will have a small drain on each side of the neck which will be removed the next day. Your face and neck with be wrapped with a special dressing. After your brief recovery under observation from our team, you will be discharged home.
What to Expect From Your Deep Plane Facelift Recovery
The deep plane facelift like any other surgery requires recovery. It can be a smooth process if you follow Dr. Sadati’s recovery plan. Because no general anesthesia is required, most patients have minimal side effects the day after surgery. Any pain and swelling can be managed with Tylenol or prescribed medications and ice packs. It’s important to remain elevated and sleep in an upright position to prevent swelling and other complications.
Dr. Sadati often recommends taking Arnica Montana for its anti-inflammatory properties during your recovery. All blood thinning products including some vitamins need to be stopped two weeks prior to surgery. Additionally, it’s integral to avoid sun exposure during your recovery since sun damage can worsen the appearance of scarring. Even after your recovery, make sure to wear sunscreen daily to maintain your results and prevent photoaging. Most of the swelling and bruising subsided within a week, but the tissue around the ears and neck fills tight and numb for at least two months. In the first week, you must avoid strenuous activities to avoid hematoma. Dr. Sadati uses special healing cream for two weeks post-surgery that expedites the healing of the incision lines. After two weeks, scar-reducing cream is used for 6 weeks.
You may see results immediately after surgery, but your final results can take up to a few months to emerge as swelling subsides and your skin adjusts. Most patients can return to the public within 1-2 weeks with limitations on the physical activity until cleared by Dr. Sadati.
