Facelift Newport Beach
Restore your youthful appearance and boost your confidence with the best facelift doctor Newport Beach.
What Is a Facelift?
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, addresses the lower two-thirds of the face to maintain a naturally beautiful face, neck, and jawline. While it does not stop the aging process itself, it does reset the starting point for natural aging. Depending on the patient’s skin quality, a facelift may last anywhere from five to ten years.
Is a Facelift Right for Me?
You are a good candidate for Facelift Surgery Newport Beach if:
- You are in optimum health, with no complications or severe medical conditions
- You prefer long-term solutions compared to facial rejuvenation procedures
- You have facial wrinkles, jowls, skin laxity, and other signs of aging
- You are between the age of 35-65 and want a facial makeover
Though age is not a restriction, usually, people between the ages of 45-60 opt for effective facial rejuvenation options. We conduct an extensive evaluation at the scheduled consultation and ask several questions before the facial rejuvenation surgery.
How To Choose the Best Facial Plastic Surgeon in Newport Beach?
It may be confusing if you are looking to find the best surgeon to perform your procedure, as there can be a wide range of accolades and credentials that represent certain benchmarks of education and experience in the field.
However, The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) is the only board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) to certify surgeons in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
In order to become certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery, a physician must:
- Have graduated from an accredited Medical School
- Completed at least 5 years of surgical training following medical school, with a minimum of 2 years of plastic surgery residency training
- Pass comprehensive oral and written exams
Dr. Nitta is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with the ABPS. In addition, she also has her board certification in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery, providing her with additional knowledge and expertise to apply to her practice. Choose the best Facelift Newport Beach for your facial surgery!

Facelift Surgery Procedure
Incisions are hidden in the natural creases around the ear and into the hairline. The skin and fat are lifted and the underlying muscle is tightened, while excess skin and fat are removed. The length of the incision will vary depending on the patient’s needs.
Anesthesia is used based on the needs and health of the patient to avoid complications. The details of the procedure will be customized to the individual, in addition to standard differences for male and female patients. Accessibility to the latest technologies and devices ensures the entire process is safe.
Recovery From Facelift Surgery
We keep all of our patients overnight at the surgery center. All male patients will have drains, whereas female patients rarely need them. The reason for this is that males have proportionately more blood vessels in their face, and therefore, tend to bleed a little more.
The next morning, all dressings and drains are removed and you may return home. Another large dressing will then be placed, which will remain on for four days.
On the fourth day, the dressing is removed, and Dr. Nitta will remove the stitches around the ear. You will then be placed into a “face bra.” This stays on for another week, at which time the remaining sutures in your hair are removed. Your face will be swollen with some bruising, but that will resolve itself in about two weeks.
The majority of the visible puffiness will be gone within a month, but your face will remain mildly swollen for several months as it heals.
Dr. Nitta is not only Board-Certified in facial Plastic Surgery, she also is Board-Certified in Otolaryngology/ Head and Neck surgery, providing her with the additional expertise and experience to provide a great healing experience and beautiful results

Frequently Asked Questions about Facelift
How Much Is A Facelift In Newport Beach?
There is no fixed pricing when it comes to a facelift procedure. Depending on the patient’s unique needs, the complexity of the process, and the customized plan made by the surgeon, the facelift cost can vary. If you want to know more about financing options, please book your consultation with us.
What is the best age to have a facelift?
The best age to have a facelift is between 45-50 years, as over time, the skin begins to lose elasticity, leading to a loss in skin firmness and stretching of ligaments of soft tissues. However, you can also opt for facelift surgery between 35 and 65. The surgeon’s expertise and understanding of the facelift procedure make a significant difference.
Are Bandages Used in Facelift Surgeries?
Yes, some plastic surgeons use bandages to minimize bruising and swelling. We offer an excellent aftercare facility and assure patients are cared for throughout their stay.
Will There Be Scarring?
The incisions are strategically placed in natural creases and the hairline to minimize visible scarring. Over time, any scars will fade and can be easily concealed.
How Long Will the Facelift Last?
A facelift’s longevity can last between five to ten years, depending on your skin quality and how well you take care of your skin post-surgery.
What Makes Dr. Nitta Different?
Dr. Nitta is a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon with additional board certification in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery. This gives her a unique set of skills and expertise in facial procedures.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Common side effects include swelling and bruising, which usually resolve within two weeks. It’s essential to consult with Dr. Nitta for a comprehensive understanding of potential side effects and how to manage them.
Is it possible to get a facelift without surgery?
While a facelift is the best option when it comes to reducing or eliminating aging signs, there are non-surgical procedures, too. For instance, dermal fillers combined with Botox injections might be a good idea. That can smoothen deep facial creases while enhancing the visibility of the beautiful contours.
How long should numbness last after a facelift surgery?
Most of the numbness should disappear after six to eight weeks of getting a facelift surgery. However, it varies from patient to patient and the surgeon’s expertise.
