This is review of the authors technique for lifting the subcutaneous fat of the cheek during face lifting procedures, which seems to offer long-lasting improvement of malar area. They describe a modification of the extended SMAS tightening technique that successfully deals with malar fat pads without increasing complications with aesthetically pleasing results. Several reports discuss how best to reposition the malar fat pad and at what level to perform the dissection. The problem of the malar fat pad has been approached in a variety of ways, including excision, curettage, undermining, and direct or indirect suspension techniques. The sagging of the malar fat pad over the mostly fixed tissue of the nasolabial folds produces a deepening of these structures. The downward migration of the fat pad produces hollowness in the midfacial and infraorbital areas that creates the aging mid face. Descent of the malar fat pad also contributes to the mid-face portion of the jowls.

Newport Beach/Orange County Face Lift

 Dr Sadati performs many different types of face lifts and customizes the lift for each patient to achieve a natural, long lasting result with the most rapid recovery.  As we age, neck muscles become loose and droop underneath the skin.  Dr. Sadati's lift differs from topical treatments, fillers or thread lifts because it addresses the deeper tissue by lifting the sagging muscle upward into its original youthful position.  The Newport Beach face lift show results that give a natural, softer look yet create better definition along the jaw line and neck without getting that "pulled" look.  Dr. Sadati takes special care to hide incisions inside the ear, which allows for wearing the hair up, back, or in any style you choose after surgery, without worrying of having visible scars.  Most patients are able to resume their normal routines within 4 to 7 days after the procedure.  Pre-operative and post-operative instructions are fully discussed at your consultation with Dr. Sadati.

Newport Beach Awake Lift FAQ's

What Is the Awake Lift or Mini Facelift?

The Awake Lift is Dr. Sadati’s newest procedure. The procedure is performed by Dr. Kevin Sadati, board certified facial plastic surgeon quickly and involves a shorter recovery period than traditional facelift surgery. The minifacelift focuses on specific areas of the face, such as the neck and sagging jowls.

Using smaller incisions and often taking advantage of new facelift technology, Dr. Sadati lifts, repositions, and removes facial tissue to achieve optimal results. Once factors contributing to unwanted sagging and drooping have been eliminated, the surgeon carefully repositions the skin using small sutures. The procedure is done in about an hour in our certified Surgical Center and you will go home the same day.

Candidates for Awake Lift Surgery

Awake Natural Lift is appropriate for people who are experiencing signs of aging but do not want to

undergo a more intense surgery with general anesthesia and a long recovery time.

In general, those who opt for the Awake Natural Lift are typically over the age of 40 and 50 but in some circumstances could be as old as 70. Due to genetics or environmental exposure even some candidates that are younger then 40 can see excellent results. Usually they want to remove minor sagging or drooping around the cheeks, jowls, and neck area.

Awake Lift Cost

The cost of the mini facelift makes it a particularly attractive option. Since the mini facelift is less invasive,

it can be performed more quickly and often requires only local anesthesia. These factors help keep the

cost of the Awake Facelift quite low compared to other options.

Will Scares be noticeable?

Most patients who have followed post-op care instructions say the scar lines are virtually undetectable

once healed.

What type of anesthesia/sedation is used?

The procedure can be performed with local anesthesia or twilight sedation, both of which make the

procedure painless and minimize the chance of complications. Oral pre-medication is generally

recommended to help relax the patient.

How long with the results last?

The procedure can erase up to ten years or more from your appearance almost instantly; however, the

normal aging process will resume. Many factors, including skin type, sun exposure and heredity all play a role in determining how long the desired result will last.

Short Scar Face Lift

A Short-Scar face lift is a very effective technique that brings amazing results with a very natural look.  The beauty of this technique has minimal scarring which is nearly invisible.  This procedure involves tightening of the muscles and skin of the face to create a truly natural face lift with well hidden incision lines.  It is a multi-layer, multi-vector lift where the sagging muscles and fat are adjusted separately from the overlying skin.  A Short Scar face lift can be performed under local anesthesia thus eliminating the need to be admitted to the hospital for an expensive overnight stay.  In fact, you can go home shortly after your procedure.  Unlike most other face-lift techniques that lead to overly tightened skin or a "wind-swept" appearance, the short scar lift will restore your unique, natural, and youthful appearance in the most inconspicuous fashion.
