SMAS Facelift Newport Beach & Orange County
The facelift is by far the most effective method of correction for moderate to severe signs of facial aging. Esteemed Orange County facial plastic surgeon Dr. Kevin Sadati provides Newport Beach facelift patients with results that convey a natural elegance that only a true artist could provide.
Aging is inevitable, so why not age artistically? Visible signs of aging occur due to biological, genetic, and lifestyle factors. Over time, our facial skin weakens, and the aging process takes its toll on our once youthful face and neck. As a result, we no longer look the way we did in our 20s and 30s, which can lower self-confidence.
However, a youthful facial profile does not have to be a distant memory. A natural facelift by Dr. Kevin Sadati can help to restore a more youthful appearance that can turn back the clock and make you look years younger. An artist at heart, Dr. Sadati approaches all his facelift patients with the vision of enhancing their innate beauty; producing beautiful, natural-looking results that are never over-done or artificial-looking.
Facial Rejuvenation Options in Newport Beach
There are many surgical options and facelift techniques that Dr. Sadati can use as part of your facial rejuvenation treatment plan. The most common choice is the traditional, full facelift, which is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and tightens muscles throughout the face.
However, because Dr. Sadati is a pioneer in this industry, he wanted to improve on the typical, traditional facelift techniques. Recently, his Natural Facelift procedure was published by the American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery. This procedure aims to give people facial rejuvenation results without causing them to look or feel tight or pulled back.
Other options for facial rejuvenation surgery beyond the traditional facelift surgery include the liquid facelift, or non-surgical facelift, which uses injectable dermal fillers to give patients subtle improvements to their natural contours with temporary results. There is also the mini facelift, which addresses specific problem areas on the face, such as the cheek area or around the eyes, of people in Newport Beach who are just showing the first signs of aging in their facial tissues.
Experience You Trust
When it comes to facial surgery, you can’t take any chances. If you are considering facelift surgery in Orange County, you need the expertise of an experienced surgeon who will do the job right the first time. At the Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery, that is exactly what you will get. Dr. Sadati has performed over 3,500 facelift and neck lift procedures to provide long-lasting results for men and women in Orange County.
You should feel comfortable with your surgeon, which is why Dr. Sadati will work hard to make you comfortable with his innovative facelift procedures. From answering questions and addressing concerns during in-depth consultations to using gentle techniques that will minimize swelling during the actual facelift procedure, he will ensure that your entire experience is something to smile about. And with our patient testimonials published online, you don’t just have to take our word for it!

Preparing For Your Facelift
If you have moderate to severe signs of aging, you may benefit from a facial rejuvenation procedure like a facelift. Dr. Sadati is a highly trained facial plastic surgeon and will work closely with you during your consultation to determine the best techniques and methods to achieve your desired result.
Common signs of aging that can be improved through a facelift procedure include but are not limited to:
- Loose skin present around the chin, jawline, and neck, creating the look of a sagging jowl
- Moderate to severe wrinkles or folds running from the nose to the corners of the mouth, also known as nasolabial folds
- Cheeks that have lost volume over time that now appear lower and fattened
- Many fine lines throughout the lower face region
For skin concerns above the level of the mid-face, such as deep forehead wrinkles or sagging eyes or eyebrows, Dr. Sadati can combine his Natural Facelift with a brow lift for comprehensive treatment. And a facelift is often combined with a neck lift for those with concerns about neck banding, double chin, turkey neck, or other cosmetic problems. The right neck lift incision can also be addressed during consultations with Dr. Sadati.
Your safety and comfort are our top priorities, which is why we work with you throughout the process to ensure a truly personalized experience for your facial rejuvenation results. If you’re eligible for any of our facelift techniques, a Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery & Aesthetic Lounge patient coordinator will help you to schedule your procedure as well as pre- and post-op appointments to address any questions or concerns you may have.
What are the Steps of a Facelift Procedure?
A facelift is performed under twilight sedation without the need for general anesthesia. Twilight sedation is a process in which both local and intravenous (IV) sedation are used to lower patients’ state of consciousness without putting them completely to sleep. Next, an incision is made in the hairline around the ear. Through this incision, liposuction can be used to remove excess facial fat, and the tissues of the face, including muscles, are tightened. Excess skin can also be removed.
Once Dr. Sadati is happy with the facelift results, the skin is redraped so that it appears tighter, smoother, and more youthful. When these steps are complete, incisions are closed using dissolvable sutures.
Dr. Sadati’s Natural Facelift Method
Dr. Kevin Sadati has developed a special facelift procedure that has garnered him a great deal of notoriety in the cosmetic surgery field; because of this breakthrough facial muscle tightening technique, he has had the ability to provide people with a great deal of facial rejuvenation while remaining very natural.
The technique is called the “Triple C” Plication technique. His facelift technique has been published in the American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery and is utilized by many other plastic surgeons. This technique applies a uniform tension on the facial muscles to create a smooth and natural look. What can happen with a traditional full facelift is that a patient’s appearance will not look like themselves, and people notice. This more natural lift will not give you a “pulled” look around the eyes or mouth, nor will there be any tissue bunching at the hairline. In addition, this procedure will provide an excellent lift for the jowl and neck region.
The lift that occurs on the lower portion of the face will improve any degree of skin laxity on the neck. This technique provides durable, natural-looking results with a relatively easy and quick recovery. Most importantly, this procedure is done under local anesthesia and twilight sedation, rather than general anesthesia.
While this plastic surgery will help to counteract most of your facial sagging and provide a more rested and youthful appearance, you will still look like yourself. This unique facelift will take 10 to 15 years off without making you look unrecognizable or over-done. Read Dr. Kevin Sadati’s publication on his Triple “C” Plication Technique here.
What to Expect During Your Facelift Recovery
Post-operative facelift recovery is quick, and any first-day discomfort is controlled with oral medication. Any swelling or tenderness around the incisions usually subsides during the first week after the procedure. Swelling can be minimized by icing and keeping the head in a slightly elevated position when sleeping. Newport Beach, CA facelift surgeon Dr. Kevin Sadati also suggests the use of Arnica Montana to aid in recovery, which has been used medically for years for its anti-inflammatory effects.
After facelift surgery patients are advised to avoid the sun as much as possible and to wear sunscreen when going outdoors. Results can be seen immediately following surgery; however, most patients feel they are ready to face the world within 7 days. The amount of recovery time varies depending on the person, but most patients report they are back to work within one week’s time and are ready to resume their normal activities.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Facelift?
Dr. Sadati takes the time to ensure each person he works with is a good candidate for the procedure that they desire. People who are interested in a Newport Beach facelift procedure must first schedule a consultation appointment where Dr. Sadati will determine if they are, in fact, eligible for a facelift.
The ideal candidate for this procedure has already started to show signs of aging. Many patients are between the ages of 40 and 70 years old. Most often, the skin around their cheeks and jowls has started to sag. Some people have excess skin and fat around their neck or eyelids. In addition to showing the initial signs of aging like sagging skin and facial fat, Dr. Sadati prefers to work with patients who have a strong, defined bone structure. This gives him a natural guideline to work with, allowing patients to look most like a younger, natural version of themselves.
For those who are not currently good candidates for surgical facial rejuvenation procedures, Dr. Sadati may recommend a non-surgical treatment such as laser skin resurfacing to provide the desired results.
What To Expect From a Facelift Consultation
Once candidacy has been determined, the patient will be given a complete mental and physical exam. It is important that patients are in good health, and have the ability to withstand a surgery and the healing process. It is also vital that all patients have a realistic expectation of the surgery, and recognize that while it will allow them to look younger, it will not prevent them from aging in the future.
Patients have come to find that they can trust Dr. Sadati implicitly. They know that he takes the time to get to know them, understand their goals and desires, and provide them with the best facelift results possible. He is open and honest and provides a safe environment for communicating. This has earned him one of the best reputations in California, including Beverly Hills, and he has quickly become one of the most sought-after surgeons in the entire country.
People who are looking to have any type of cosmetic work done know that Dr. Sadati will take into account not only personal preferences but also genetics and ethnicity. He wants each person to look like a better version of themselves, not like someone else.
