An Introduction of a New Facial Muscle Tightening Technique in California Has Re
duced Facelift Revisions
Double "C" Plication Technique Gives Patients a High Definition Face and Neck Li ft with Long Lasting Results. Orange County, CA - March 04, 2011 -- BY adopting a new muscle tightening techni que called “Double C-Lift” for face lifting; a California facial plastic surgeon is pioneering a breakthrough mini face lift that provides a durable, natural-lookin g lift and a quick recovery for the patient. The procedure is done under local a nesthesia. For nearly 4 years, we surveyed 1,535 of my facelift patients, and we found that the revision rate on an average was less than 1 percent”, reported Dr. Kevin Sada ti to his colleagues at the 10th International Symposium of Facial Plastic Surge ry’s Meeting in Fort Lauderdale, FL. In an interview after the Florida conference, Dr. Kevin Sadati, a board certifie d facial plastic surgeon, in Newport Beach, California talked about his latest b reakthrough in facial rejuvenation. It is believed that his technique is truly t he next generation of high definition facial rejuvenation without the prolonged recovery associated with a traditional face lift. He went into detail about the double C-plication (tightening of the facial muscle) technique, which offers sev eral advantages over other mini facelift techniques. Dr. Sadati clarified his te chnique by saying, "I use a double-layered SMAS plication (facial muscle tighten ing) sutures, which creates multiple fixation points, and ensures that over time the tissue will stay in place and not lead to early tissue laxity." Dr. Sadati, Orange County’s premier facelift surgeon, developed his technique afte r a number of his early mini face lift patients came back for revisions due to t issue laxity in the jowls and neck area."I decided to change my technique to som ething that would avoid failure of the plication (muscle tightening). In my abdo minoplasties (tummy tucks), I was using a double-layered muscle tightening metho d, and despite great forces exerted in the abdomen, my muscle tightening did not fail, and I thought perhaps I could apply that same technique to the face." Dur ing this interview, he explained to us that, "In order to learn how to apply thi s double layered plication technique to the face, I did cadaver studies and disc overed it was possible to adapt the same plication technique used in an abdomino plasty to the facial muscles. I learned to apply a gradual tension with various vectors (direction) on the muscle, therefore there is less pulling on the corner s of the mouth and more tightening on the jaw lines, as well as the neck area, m aking it very natural looking." "This creates a uniform, natural tension on the muscle, and gives a smooth look without having a pulled mouth or having any tissue bunching at the hairline. Thi s procedure also lifts the jowls and provides an excellent neck lift. He adds th at, “this technique improves any kind of neck; from a neck with minimal laxity, to the heaviest and the most difficult neck." He performs the procedure in the Newport Beach Center for Surgery, Orange County , while patients are awake, using local anesthetic, Lidocaine and tumescent infi ltration. Patients also receive oral sedation with Valium and Benadryl. Since th ere is minimal bruising, no drain is necessary, and the exterior sutures are abs orbable. He presented some data on 1,532 patients whom he has followed for an average of 1.5 years to a maximum of 3 years. Of these patients, 110 had undergone previous face lifts by other plastic surgeons. The post-surgical complication rate was l ow, with no facial nerve injuries. There was a revision rate of less than 1%. Th e low revision rate is the best indication of his technique’s success; he told us and went on to add, "The most important result is the high patient satisfaction rate." Dr. Sadati has been invited to premier plastic surgery conventions such as Ameri can Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery, American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, and American College of Osteopathic Otolaryngology & Facial Plastic Surgery, in ord er to educate other plastic surgeons on his revolutionary face lift technique. H e performs well over 1,000 facial procedures a year, making him one of the forem ost 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 revolutiona ry technique gives his patients a younger and more refreshed look without that ‘pu lled’ or ‘artificial look’. His patients describe the positive responses they get from friends and co-workers who tell them constantly, that they "look so great!" "It’s very important for patients to have realistic expectations and to understand th e risks and benefits of any procedure," said Dr. Sadati. “Patients should understa nd that this procedure will not change who you are, but will refresh and restore your face."
