Dr. Kevin Sadati, a leading facial plastic surgeon, has introduced the Preservation Facelift—a refined deep plane facelift offering faster recovery, fewer complications, and exceptionally natural results. With over 5,000 facelifts performed, Dr. Sadati incorporates advanced techniques like the rotating SMAS flap and purse-string platysma sutures to sharpen the jawline and tighten the neck with minimal trauma. His research, published in the Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Journal, confirms the technique's safety and effectiveness. More than a cosmetic update, the Preservation Facelift reflects a new surgical mindset—one that prioritizes structural preservation, precision, and long-lasting, natural-looking rejuvenation.
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Sept. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dr. Kevin Sadati, nationally recognized facial plastic surgeon, is proud to announce the arrival of the Preservation Facelift—a next-generation refinement of the deep plane facelift technique, designed for faster recovery, reduced complication rates, and most importantly, stunningly natural results.
Unlike superficial rebrandings that promise much and deliver little, the Preservation Facelift is a scientifically grounded advancement in facial rejuvenation. Based on a retrospective study of 134 patients, this technique demonstrated statistically significant reductions in complication rates and drainage duration, without compromising on aesthetic outcomes. Dr. Sadati is among a select group of pioneers to adopt and evolve this breakthrough approach, placing him at the forefront of modern facial plastic surgery.
Anatomy Meets Innovation: At the core of the Preservation Facelift is a radical shift in surgical philosophy: less disruption, more precision. By minimizing unnecessary skin undermining, the procedure preserves key vascular and fibrous structures between the skin and SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System). This anatomical conservation protects skin blood supply, reduces the risk of necrosis, and promotes faster, healthier healing.
"The goal isn't just to lift," says Dr. Sadati. "It's to preserve what's vital—vascular integrity, soft tissue connections, and natural movement—while delivering a result that looks fresh, not frozen."
Sharper Jawlines, Tighter Necks: The Sadati Signature
Dr. Sadati's version of the Preservation Facelift goes further by incorporating cutting-edge techniques for enhanced results:
* Rotating Pedicled SMAS Flap: This maneuver provides sharp, sculpted definition at the jawline—particularly at the gonial angle—without the trauma of broad subcutaneous dissection.
* Purse-String Platysma Sutures: Adapted from the "hammock lift" concept, this technique tightens the neck with minimal incision and maximum effect, refining the cervicomental angle while avoiding tearing or nerve injury.
A Proven Leader in Facial Surgery: Dr. Sadati has performed over 5,000 facelifts and is internationally regarded as one of the top innovators in facial rejuvenation. He has published numerous original techniques in facelifting, including his most recent scientific research on the Preservation Facelift, which was published in the prestigious Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Journal—the official journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
He has also presented his Preservation Facelift technique at national and international plastic surgery conferences, sharing his expertise with top surgeons around the world and helping set new standards for the field.
Natural Midface Rejuvenation—Without the Risk
A key challenge in facial surgery is achieving vertical lift of the midface while preserving nerve safety. Dr. Sadati answers this with controlled access to the prezygomatic space and zygomatic ligaments, paired with finger-assisted malar elevation. The result? A lifted cheek, smoother nasolabial folds, and restored facial harmony—executed in an avascular, low-risk plane.
Less Trauma, Faster Recovery, Better Outcomes:
Because of the technique's conservative undermining and high-definition SMAS manipulation, patients report:
- Less bruising and swelling
- Shorter downtime
- Superior skin quality post-surgery
This approach is supported by biomechanical studies and clinical evidence, including work by Roskies et al. and cadaveric research on facial fat compartmentalization by Rohrich and Pessa.
Not Just a Name—A Philosophy: The term Preservation Facelift is more than semantics. Like preservation rhinoplasty, it marks a deeper transformation in surgical mindset. It's about honoring facial anatomy, conserving structural integrity, and achieving rejuvenation that doesn't just look good—it feels natural.
Dr. Sadati concludes: "This isn't just another facelift. It's a smarter one. A safer one. And in the right hands, it's the most beautiful one."
