The Art of the Modern Facelift: Subtle Enhancements for Natural Results
Why today’s facelift techniques focus on rejuvenation—not transformation.
At The Aesthetics Centers in Newport Beach, Dr. Siamak Agha has redefined facelift surgery with a singular goal: help patients look like themselves—simply more refreshed, more vibrant, and more confident. Rather than “tight” or overcorrected outcomes, his approach blends structural precision with artistic restraint to achieve subtlety and longevity.
“Modern facelift surgery is about restoring balance and harmony, not creating a new face. The result should be timeless—not obvious.”
Understanding the Modern Facelift
A facelift (rhytidectomy) corrects jowling, laxity, and deep folds—but how it’s done is everything. Dr. Agha’s technique prioritizes foundational lifting (not just skin pulling), addressing the SMAS and deeper support layers so the skin can drape naturally. This preserves facial character while restoring youthful contours of the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
Dr. Agha’s signature priorities:
- Structure first: Reposition deep support to avoid surface tension.
- Soft tissue harmony: Blend lift with gentle volume restoration where needed.
- Scar strategy: Discreet, hairline-conscious incision design for elegant healing.
The Rise of the Deep Plane Facelift
A key reason patients travel to Newport Beach is Dr. Agha’s comfort with advanced techniques—including deep-plane strategies when indicated. By releasing deeper retaining ligaments and elevating the skin, SMAS, and soft tissue as a unit, deep-plane methods can soften nasolabial folds, rejuvenate the midface, and sharpen the mandibular line—without the “pulled” look.
Benefits patients love:
- Natural cheek fullness and smoother smile lines
- A refined jawline with less skin tension
- Results designed to age gracefully over the years
“A deep plane facelift rejuvenates the face at its structural level—where aging begins—creating results that can last a decade or longer.”
Combining Procedures for Comprehensive Rejuvenation
For balanced outcomes, Dr. Agha often integrates complementary enhancements into a unified plan:
- Neck Lift: Tightens platysma bands and defines the cervicomental angle.
- Blepharoplasty: Opens the eyes and reduces heaviness for a rested look.
- Autologous Fat Grafting: Restores youthful fullness in the midface or temples.
- Skin Quality Optimization: Peels or laser resurfacing to refine texture and tone.
This choreography creates harmony between the upper, mid, and lower face, so no single area looks “done.”
Recovery, Longevity, and Aftercare at The Aesthetics Centers
Most patients resume light social activity in 2–3 weeks, with swelling tapering steadily. Dr. Agha’s tailored aftercare—sleep positioning, gentle lymphatic guidance, staged skincare, and sun discipline—helps results settle beautifully and last for years. Many patients maintain outcomes with periodic, light non-surgical touch-ups.
