How to Prepare for a Neck Lift in Newport Beach

The Aesthetic Centers | Dr. Siamak Agha—Redefining Facial Rejuvenation in Newport Beach

Facelift surgery has always been one of the most transformative procedures in aesthetic medicine—but in 2026, it’s no longer about pulling skin tight. It’s about restoring structure, expression, and vitality. At The Aesthetic Centers in Newport Beach, Dr. Siamak Agha uses the latest advancements in facial rejuvenation to achieve results that look youthful yet completely natural.

By focusing on anatomy, proportion, and motion, Dr. Agha’s modern facelift techniques redefine what “ageless” truly means. Patients don’t look different—they look refreshed, confident, and authentically themselves.

A great facelift doesn’t erase character—it restores harmony. My goal is always natural movement, balanced volume, and lasting beauty.

The Evolution of the Facelift

For decades, facelifts primarily focused on tightening surface skin, which sometimes led to a stretched or artificial look. Modern techniques go much deeper. In 2026, the most advanced approach—known as a deep-plane or SMAS facelift—repositions underlying muscle and connective tissue before gently redraping the skin.

At The Aesthetic Centers, Dr. Agha customizes each procedure to the individual’s unique facial structure and aging pattern. His approach lifts sagging cheeks, defines the jawline, and smooths the neck while preserving softness and fluidity of expression.
This shift toward structural restoration rather than surface tension has redefined the facelift as both rejuvenating and regenerative, not merely corrective.

What’s New in 2026: Precision and Personalization

Modern facelift surgery is guided by data, artistry, and advanced imaging. At The Aesthetic Centers, Dr. Agha integrates:

  1. 3D facial mapping to assess volume loss and asymmetry.
  2. High-definition planning tools for precise vector analysis (the direction and degree of lift).
  3. Energy-assisted skin tightening with radiofrequency or ultrasound for added collagen support.
  4. Fat transfer rejuvenation to restore natural fullness to the temples, cheeks, or under-eyes.
  5. Hidden incision designs along the hairline and ear curves for minimal visibility.

Together, these innovations allow for a smoother contour, faster recovery, and results that last longer—often a decade or more.

The Aesthetic Center's Signature: Natural Movement, Lasting Structure

A hallmark of Dr. Agha’s facelift technique is his emphasis on deep-layer support rather than surface pull. By lifting and securing the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer, he restores youthful definition to the midface and jawline while preventing the “windblown” look of older methods.

Each layer—skin, muscle, and fat—is repositioned where it naturally belongs. This not only rejuvenates appearance but also rebalances facial proportions and maintains natural expression.

We don’t chase youth—we restore balance. The beauty is in subtlety.

Combining Treatments for a Comprehensive Rejuvenation

In 2026, facial rejuvenation rarely stops with a single procedure. Dr. Agha often integrates complementary techniques to maximize harmony across the face and neck:

  1. Neck Lift: Tightens the platysma muscle and refines the jawline.
  2. Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery): Refreshes tired eyes.
  3. Fat Grafting or Fillers: Restores volume where the face has thinned.
  4. Laser Resurfacing or RF Microneedling: Improves texture and tone post-surgery.

This comprehensive approach, tailored to each patient’s age and goals, enhances both short- and long-term results while maintaining natural facial expression.

Recovery in the Age of Enhanced Healing

Gone are the days of long, hidden recoveries. Today’s facelifts benefit from advanced anesthesia, minimal-drain techniques, and enhanced recovery protocols.

At The Aesthetic Centers, Dr. Agha’s patients typically:

  1. Return to light activity within 7–10 days.
  2. Resume social engagements in around 2 weeks.
  3. See final results develop steadily over 3–6 months.

Swelling is reduced through gentle lymphatic therapy, LED light sessions, and customized home-care regimens. Many patients describe their experience as smoother and far more comfortable than expected.

Long-Term Results and Maintenance

A modern facelift is designed to age gracefully with you. With stable weight, healthy skin care, and sun protection, results can last 10–15 years or longer.

To maintain youthfulness, Dr. Agha recommends periodic non-surgical treatments such as:

  1. Morpheus8 microneedling RF for collagen renewal.
  2. Botox and dermal fillers to maintain soft expression lines.
  3. Medical-grade skin care plans personalized to your skin type.

The goal is simple—stay ahead of aging without ever looking “done.”

FAQs – Facelift 2026 at The Aesthetic Centers

How do I know if I need a facelift or non-surgical treatments?
If you notice sagging around the jowls, deep folds, or loose neck skin, a facelift often provides the most natural and lasting correction. Non-surgical options help maintain results but can’t reposition underlying tissues.

Where are the incisions placed?
Dr. Agha conceals them around the ears and hairline, ensuring they blend with natural contours once healed.

Is fat transfer included in every facelift?
It’s personalized. When volume loss is present, Dr. Agha may add fat grafting to restore soft fullness and balance.

How long do results last?
Most patients enjoy 10–15 years of improvement, depending on skin health, lifestyle, and aging rate.

Will I look different or like myself again?
You’ll look like yourself — just rested, refreshed, and more vibrant. Dr. Agha specializes in natural movement and subtle lift directions that preserve individual character.

Can a facelift be combined with a neck lift?
Yes, and it often is. This combination provides seamless contouring from cheek to neck for balanced, youthful results.
