NECK LIFT Orange County

Trust your face in the hands of a facial specialist. With Dr. Kevin Sadati’s minimally invasive neck lift, there is no need for general anesthesia.

Over 3,500 patients have had their lower face and neck lift performed by Orange County facelift specialist Dr. Kevin Sadati. Using his Double “C” Plication (muscle tightening) technique, his patients receive a refreshed, youthful appearance without a ‘pulled’ or ‘artificial look’ often associated with a face and neck lift. Dr. Kevin Sadati’s patients refer to his revolutionary lower face and neck lift as the Natural Lift or Natural Face and neck lift, because of its natural looking, non-operated results. The procedure is performed in our surgical facility, under local anesthesia and twilight sedation. There is no need for general anesthesia in order for the patient to undergo a comfortable cosmetic surgery experience. Read Dr. Kevin Sadati’s publication on his Double “C” Plication Technique here.

The Neck Lift is becoming an increasingly popular procedure. It specifically targets a difficult area, removing excess skin and in turn rejuvenating the appearance of the face. In order to  understand this surgery, patients need to understand that the Dr. Sadati will actually be performing two procedures. The neck lift consists of the cervicoplasty and the platysmaplasty. The cervicoplasty procedure removes the excess skin around the neck. The platysmaplasty procedure alters and tightens the neck muscles to achieve the final result. Most patients who opt to have a neck lift have a facelift performed at the same time to prevent bunching of the skin around the earlobes.

Experience You Trust

The American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery published Dr. Kevin Sadati’s unique muscle tightening technique in 2011. Since then, he has been invited to premier facial plastic surgery conventions such as the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery, American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery and AOBOO-HNS in order to educate other plastic surgeons. Dr. Kevin Sadati continues to receive rave reviews from both his peers and his Newport Beach neck lift patients for his renowned Natural lift.

What goes up must come down. It’s a common phrase that we have heard throughout our lives, but what many individuals don’t realize is that the phrase applies to their face and neck. Gravity seems to pull on the skin, as an individual gets older, causing the skin to sag and hang. In many situations, gathers begin to form at the neck base. As that is happening, many individuals gain weight, which adds to the overall look and implies that the individual is older and more overweight than they actually are. In some individuals is purely genetic and aging process that causes severe laxity of neck tissue. To improve contouring of neck, Dr. Sadati offers the latest innovative neck cosmetic procedures that are performed at the comfort of his office located in Newport Beach. These procedures are performed using the advanced method of local anesthetics and twilight sedation without the need for general anesthesia.

What is a Lower Face and Neck Lift?

Some of the first things that individuals notice when they look in the mirror are a saggy lower face and a baggy neck. While this may be plaguing you, a full facelift may not be in order. A lower face and neck lift, or Natural facelift, is often the perfect solution. At the Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery located in Newport Beach California, we provide most advanced plastic surgery procedures that are specifically targeted to the area of the lower face and neck. With a minimally invasive procedure called the Double C Plication, the face and neck muscles are tightened in two layers in a gradual manner. This technique lifts the lower face softly preventing the “pulled” look; yet tighten the neck to a maximum degree creating smooth and rejuvenated neck. Recovery time is shortened, as it is less invasive. Since it is performed with local anesthesia and twilight sedation, the risk and complications of general anesthesia are eliminated.

EXPERIENCE

What is a Non Surgical Laser Neck Lift?

Not everyone who walks into our Newport Beach office is a candidate for a surgical neck lift. For younger patients with early signs of aging neck, we offer the latest in fractionated Co2 laser and Radio Frequency technology for neck rejuvenation. The procedure is performed with topical anesthetics and oral sedatives.  Our laser neck tightening offers a youthful result, and will not have the invasiveness of a full surgical procedure.

What are the Steps of a Neck Lift Procedure? 

A neck lift is performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation. Depending on your goals and the issues you are addressing, an incision is made in one of several patterns. Most commonly, the incision is made at the hairline below the ears and around the ear into the hairline at the back of the neck. Through these incisions, the tissues are repositioned and sculpted for a more youthful, toned look. The muscle may also be tightened during this step, and liposuction may also be used to reduce fat. Finally, the skin is redraped and excess skin is removed before closing incisions with sutures.

Dr. Sadati’s Necklift Method

All of Dr. Sadati’s surgical team are genuinely caring and sympathetic to his patients’ needs. Our staff speaks softly and gently, which gives patients confidence during their procedure and contributes to a positive and reassuring experience. After sedative medications are given, the patients are so relaxed that they close their eyes and drift off to sleep.

Once you are comfortable, Dr. Sadati begins numbing the neck with local anesthesia and the numbness, which will last about 10 hours.  Then he starts your neck lift by making a small incision behind your ears and along your hairline. A neck lift is the combination of two procedures. The first is a cervicoplasty, which removes excess skin on the neck. The second procedure is a plastysmaplasty, which tightens the neck muscles. Small dissolvable sutures are used to close the incisions. The result is a tight, smooth neck that looks up to thirty years younger.

What are the Risks of Neck Lift Surgery?

A neck lift is a relatively safe procedure when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon and the patient is a suitable candidate for the surgery. However, all surgeries have some risks. Some possible risks for neck lift surgery include:

• Adverse reactions to anesthesia
• Bleeding
• Hair loss at the incision sites
• Scarring
• Excess or prolonged swelling
• Numbness or changes in sensation
• Unsatisfactory results

Who is a Good Candidate for Neck Lift Surgery? 

Neck lift candidates typically have excess or loose skin through the neck, which creates wrinkles or folds and the appearance of a double chin, “turkey neck,” or jowls. Good neck lift candidates must also be generally healthy and nonsmokers. If you have any health conditions which would impair healing, you are likely not a good candidate for neck lift surgery.

What to Expect During Your Necklift Recovery

After your neck lift is complete, a gauze dressing is applied. The nerve blocking technique lasts about nine hours. Therefore, there is no immediate post-operative pain and no need for heavy narcotics. There is also no nausea and vomiting associated with this procedure since it is not performed under general anesthesia.

Patients may experience feelings of pulling and tightness. These are indications of a successful procedure and signal the path to neck lift recovery in Orange County. Patients may take Tylenol Extra Strength or a small dose of prescription pain medication if they are uncomfortable.

A neck lift generally takes about two hours. Some patients elect to have additional surgery (such as a neck liposuction, lower facelift, fat grafting, dermal fillers or cheek augmentation).

Your Private Consultation

Patients have long trusted Dr. Kevin Sadati, as he is one of the top board certified facial plastic surgeons in California as well as the country. His goal is not to do as many plastic surgeries as quickly as possible, but to perform surgeries that have a positive life impact on his patients.

This means developing a plan that is customized for each patient, and for this procedure that often means complementing the surgery with a facelift at the same time. Having a facelift done in tandem with neck tightening will ensure the entire face looks younger and the surgery is proportionate.
