“A preservation deep plane facelift goes a step ahead of traditional facelift, which works on strategically releasing the deeper facial layers, including muscles, fat pads, and fibrous tissue, and repositioning the SMAS layer to combat structural changes of the face while preserving the vital ligaments, nerves, and blood supply, giving the face its natural shape and expression!”
- Did you know a preservation deep-plane facelift helps lift sagging face and neck tissue with minimal skin dissection, avoids over-pulling for a tight appearance, and delivers the most natural-looking results?
- Did you know a preservation deep plane facelift adopts a tissue-sparing approach, meaning minimal skin delamination, preservation of deep anatomical structures with vital blood supply, and reduced downtime?
- Did you know that the most natural-looking results are achievable because preservation facelift helps support the aging facial features from their roots, giving a more youthful contour?
- Did you know preservation facelift has minimal downtime due to less tissue trauma, and results are often long-lasting, lasting about 10-15 years?
To better define the jawline, cheeks, and nasolabial folds, a facelift surgery that facilitates lifting the tissue vertically, reversing the signs of aging, i.e., saggy skin and deep tissue, at the same time restore volume loss by repositioning facial fat pads, a preservation deep plane facelift has a pivotal role in restoring youthful contour with very minimal skin dissection, and easier recovery timeline compared to a traditional facelift surgery.
Over the years, facelift surgery has evolved, introducing techniques that help achieve aesthetic goals with a faster, easier recovery. However, several facelift surgeons, especially from the USA and the UK, have adopted the latest advancements, including the preservation deep-plane facelift.
Many of you may have questions about what is preserved in this advanced facelifting procedure and why a vertical lift vector matters most for achieving the most natural-looking, long-lasting effect. However, this write-up is an endeavor to give you insight into why the preservation lift is weighing the facelift faculty and how it helps enjoy optimal facial rejuvenation.
A quick look at the most relevant aspects of a preservation deep plane facelift is as follows:
- Only an expert facial plastic surgeon with ample experience in performing facelift and neck lift procedures is capable of performing this surgery.
- A handsome number of successful facelift surgeries have been performed, with active membership in leading facial plastic surgery societies, such as AAFPRS, ensuring a risk-free, safe, and result-oriented surgical facial rejuvenation.
- The advanced technique and an AAAHC-accredited surgical setting, where a surgeon performs the procedure, ensure the patient’s safety and comfort to the highest standards.
- The greater the number of facelift surgeries a facial plastic surgeon performs, the greater the satisfaction can be expected when choosing that surgeon for your facial rejuvenation.
1. A vertical lift matters most
With aging, the facial structure, including the soft tissues, tends to descend, commonly referred to as ptosis or facial skin sagging. As a result, you may notice the jowls, deeper nasolabial folds, as well as the receding jawline. However, a preservation deep-plane facelift using vertical lift repositions the tissue upward, helping achieve the double-lifting effect in critical areas like the jawline, jowls, and nasolabial folds. i.e., laugh lines around the nose and mouth. Moreover, a preservation facelift combines the elements of both high SMAS and the extended deep plane facelift while employing a tissue-sparing approach, giving results that look as natural as possible, with no pulled or overly tight appearance, meaning no trace of surgical intervention can be identified.
2. Preserve skin health and vascularity
A preservation deep-plane facelift works in the deeper tissue layers, targeting the deeper SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer and correcting structural changes in the midface, lower face, and neck. Since the preservation lift method works deeper, it avoids disruption of the skin’s blood supply, resulting in minimal post-op side effects, faster downtime, and better skin healing, giving you the desired outcomes.
3. Preserved facial expression and natural movement
The facial fascia is a crucial protective layer of the face that preserves and safeguards the delicate nerve muscles responsible for facial expressions and natural movement. Many surgeons are unaware of the importance of protecting the fascia because facelift methods have not advanced much in their practice. Still, a specialist in facelifting knows how to protect facial fat pads and maintain structural harmony, which are core to a preservation lift. Moreover, a preservation deep-plane facelift minimizes the risk of nerve injury, maintains blood flow, and enhances healing for the best results. One must hold that a key component in the challenged facial expressions and movements post-surgery is skin overstretching. A preservation lift repositions the underlying muscular structure (SMAS) and fat pads, resulting in a more youthful contour while maintaining the integrity of muscles and nerves.
4. Natural-looking results
A preservation deep-plane facelift is known for its natural-looking results, as the technique allows a facial plastic surgeon to redrape the skin with almost no tension while simultaneously lifting the skin and SMAS as a single unit, releasing key facial ligaments in the process. As a result, the midface, jowls, and jawline are repositioned more naturally, with minimal trauma to the tissue. However, a more aesthetic, natural-looking appearance can be met.
5. Long-lasting results
The preservation lift method is a way to restore the face’s natural appearance, reverse the signs of aging, and give you a refreshed, youthful facial contour. It is not a reinvention but a restoration, so the effect accelerates with good maintenance. Based on one’s physiological and anatomical profile, genetics, and lifestyle, the results of a preservation lift can last 10-15 years or longer, as durability varies from patient to patient. Moreover, the procedure helps address the structural foundation of the face rather than just tightening surface skin; a smooth, brighter, and more refreshed look can be achieved that does not look fake or unnatural, a big advantage of this advanced facelifting technique.
Dr. Kevin Sadati, based in Newport Beach, CA, has established a strong reputation by performing more than 5,000 successful facelift and neck lift surgeries. This extensive experience sets him apart from other facial plastic surgeons in the Los Angeles area. It has established him as one of the most sought-after facelift surgeons in Orange County, California.
Dr. Sadati is a world leader in advancing facelift surgery through cutting-edge technology, including the preservation deep plane facelift. Dr. Sadati developed the most updated three revolutionary techniques that have been published in peer-reviewed journals. By performing these procedures under twilight sedation rather than general anesthesia, Dr. Sadati offers patients a safer experience, a shorter recovery time, and stunningly natural results.
