Facial surgery,
at NCSS.

Facelift, LiteLift®, brow lift, blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, and fat transfer — from six affiliated surgeons.

The Category

The full spectrum of facial rejuvenation.

Six of our nine affiliated surgeons offer facial surgery as a core part of their practice. Two of them — Drs. Larry Nichter and Jed Horowitz — developed the LiteLift® technique at Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery, a registered short-recovery approach to facial rejuvenation. Dr. Douglas Hendricks, a triple-boarded surgeon widely recognized as a leader in laser and energy-device work, brings 30 years of Newport Beach facial experience.

Facial surgery rewards deliberate technique over dramatic change. The site's aesthetic principle applies here more than anywhere: results should whisper, not scream. The right facelift is the one your friends compliment without asking what you did.

Why NCSS for Facial Surgery

Four reasons this facility.

Beyond the surgeon you choose, the room you're operated in matters.

PHYSICIAN ANESTHESIA ON EVERY CASE

Facelifts and other facial procedures often run three to five hours. Every case is under physician anesthesia — no CRNAs.

LITELIFT® DEVELOPED HERE

The registered short-recovery facelift technique was developed by two of our senior affiliated surgeons at Pacific Center.

LASER AND ENERGY-DEVICE LEADERSHIP

Dr. Hendricks is a recognized leader in laser and energy-device facial work — a real depth of experience with newer technologies.

THREE FEMALE SURGEONS AVAILABLE

For patients who specifically request a female surgeon for facial work, Drs. Bernett and Castaldo are affiliated, alongside Dr. Leong.

Where to Begin

The right starting point is a conversation.

Every scheduled surgical patient is offered a free Rest-Assure pre-operative consultation with Dr. Rand Scott personally — medical history, medication planning, and discharge coordination before the day of surgery.

Call (949) 644-8182

Monday–Thursday, 8am–3pm · Friday by appointment only.
