Noted Orange County Board-certified Facial Plastic Surgeon Develops Breakthrough Mini Face Lift

By adopting a new muscle tightening technique called “Double C-Lift” for face lifting, a California facial plastic surgeon is pioneering a breakthrough mini face lift that provides a durable, natural-looking lift and a quick recovery for the patient. The procedure is done under local anesthesia."For nearly four years, my office team surveyed 1,535 of my facelift patients, and found that the revision rate on average was less than one percent,” says Dr. Sadati.  The groundbreaking “Double C-Lift” is truly the next generation of high definition facial rejuvenation and does not require the prolonged, painful recovery associated with traditional face lifts.  He detailed the double C-plication (tightening of the facial muscle) technique, which offers several advantages over other mini face lift techniques. Dr. Sadati clarified the technique by saying, “I use double-layered SMAS plication (facial muscle tightening) sutures, which create multiple fixation points, ensuring that  the tissue will stay in place over time and not lead to early tissue laxity.”

Dr. Sadati, Orange County’s premier face lift surgeon, developed his revolutionary new technique after a number of his early mini face lift patients returned for revisions due to tissue laxity in the jowls and neck area. “I decided to revise my technique to avoid failure of the plication, or muscle tightening). In my abdominoplasties (tummy tucks), I was using a double-layered muscle tightening and, despite great forces exerted in the abdomen, the muscle tightening stayed in place. It occurred to me that I could apply this same technique to the face.”

Dr. Sadati explained that, “In order to learn how to apply this double layered plication technique to the face, I performed cadaver studies and discovered it was possible to adapt the same plication technique used in an abdominoplasty to the facial muscles. I learned to apply a gradual tension with various vectors (directions) on the muscle, resulting in less pulling on the corners of the mouth and more tightening of the jaw lines, as well as the neck area, delivering a very natural looking result.”  Dr. Sadati noted, “My Double C-Lift creates a uniform, natural tension on the muscle, and gives a smooth look, without creating a pulled mouth or having any tissue bunching at the hairline. This procedure also lifts the jowls and provides an excellent neck lift.” He adds that, “This technique improves any kind of neck: from a neck with minimal laxity, to the heaviest and most difficult neck.”

Dr. Sadati performs the procedure in the Newport Beach Center for Surgery in Orange County, CA while patients are awake, using local anesthetic, Lidocaine and tumescent infiltration. Patients also receive oral sedation with Valium and Benadryl.  Since there is minimal bruising, no drain is necessary, and the exterior sutures are naturally absorbed. 

Dr. Sadati has researched 1,532 patients who have had his revolutionary Double C-Lift.  He has followed the patients for an average of 1.5 years to a maximum of three years.  Of these patients, 110 had undergone previous face lifts by other plastic surgeons. The post-surgical complication rate was extremely low, with no facial nerve injuries. Dr. Sadati’s revision rate with his new Double C-Lift was less than 1%. The low revision rate is the best indication of his technique’s success.  Dr. Sadati added, “The most important result is the extremely high patient satisfaction rate.” 

Dr. Sadati has been invited to premier plastic surgery conventions, including the American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery, American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, and American College of Osteopathic Otolaryngology & Facial Plastic Surgery, to educate other plastic surgeons on his revolutionary face lift technique. He performs more than 1,000 facial procedures a year, making him one of the foremost sought after face specialists in this area. He is often asked to lecture on his renowned “Double C-Lift” technique to other face lift surgeons. This revolutionary technique gives his patients a younger and more refreshed look without that ‘pulled’ or ‘artificial’ look.
