Facial Plastic Surgery, Newport Beach
Choosing a facial procedure starts with finding the cause of what bothers you: skin, volume, structure, or position. At your Newport Beach consultation, Tim Sayed MD examines your face as a whole and explains the surgical and non-surgical options that may address your concern.
Choose your consultation office with follow-up in mind. If you consult in Newport Beach, your follow-ups are at 3991 MacArthur Boulevard, Suite 320, Newport Beach, CA 92660. Surgery is performed only in accredited operating rooms separate from both consultation offices, not at the MacArthur Boulevard office.
Ask about cases similar to yours, which procedure he would recommend first, and how complications or revisions are handled.
Midface and lower face
Facelift, with fat transfer when needed, lifts jowls and deep folds and restores lost volume.
Neck and jawline
A neck lift tightens loose skin and bands for a clean jawline, often paired with a facelift.
Nose and ears
Rhinoplasty refines the nose; otoplasty reshapes prominent or misshapen ears.
Non-surgical options
When surgery is not yet needed, injectables, skin treatments, and fat transfer can do a lot.
One surgeon, one plan
Dr. Sayed combines procedures thoughtfully so you address the whole face in one recovery.
Why Dr. Sayed
Dr. Sayed is certified by both the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery, and he has been recertified in both after ten years. He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.

Procedures
Loose skin, descended tissue, and structural concerns generally need surgery. Fine lines, texture, and mild volume loss may respond to non-surgical treatments such as neuromodulators, filler, or skin treatments. Your consultation should cover both, including the option of no treatment.
Combining procedures—for example, a brow lift with eyelid surgery, or a facelift with a neck lift or fat transfer—can mean one recovery period, but it can also lengthen surgery and change risk. Ask whether combining is right for you.
Facial procedures Dr. Sayed performs
Heavy, tired brow
Raises a heavy, low brow and smooths forehead lines for a refreshed upper face.
Hooded lids, eye bags
Refreshes hooded upper lids and under-eye bags that age and tire the eyes.
Jowls and deep folds
Lifts jowls, deep folds, and lower-face and jawline laxity.
Loose neck and bands
Tightens loose neck skin and vertical bands, often paired with a facelift.
Nose shape or breathing
Refines the size, shape, or breathing of the nose, including revision rhinoplasty.
Prominent ears, earlobes
Reshapes prominent or misshapen ears and repairs torn or stretched earlobes.
Lost volume and hollows
Restores lost volume and hollows using your own fat.
Most facial plans combine two or three of these, planned around your safety and a single recovery. Dr. Sayed maps it out with you at the consultation.
Consultation
Bring a list of medications and supplements, any prior facial surgery, filler, or neuromodulator treatments, and your smoking or nicotine history. Older photos can help show how your face has changed.
Ask which procedure addresses the cause of your concern, whether combining procedures is appropriate, and how combining would change recovery, cost, and risk.
The reverse is also true. Once skin and deeper tissue have truly loosened, no cream or device replaces a lift. Knowing where that line sits is the value of a surgeon's consultation.
What to expect
Each procedure has its own page with candidacy, risks, recovery, and the practice price guide:
- Brow and eyelids: Brow lift in Newport Beach raises a low brow; eyelid surgery in Newport Beach addresses upper-lid hooding and lower-lid bags. - Lower face and neck: Facelift surgery in Newport Beach addresses jowls and lower-face laxity; a neck lift in Newport Beach addresses loose neck skin, bands, and fullness under the chin. - Nose and ears: Rhinoplasty in Newport Beach reshapes the nose and may address breathing; otoplasty in Newport Beach reshapes prominent ears; earlobe repair in Newport Beach closes torn or stretched lobes. - Volume: Facial fat transfer in Newport Beach uses your own fat to restore lost facial volume. - For men: A male facelift and neck lift in Newport Beach plans a lift around a masculine jawline, hairline, and beard.
All facial surgery carries risks, including bleeding, infection, anesthesia complications, scarring, numbness, asymmetry, nerve injury, unsatisfactory results, and the need for further surgery. Each procedure also has specific risks, listed on its page.
Nicotine use, blood thinners, and certain health conditions increase risk. Seek urgent care for sudden vision changes, difficulty breathing, rapidly increasing swelling, or chest pain.
Case studies
Ask to see before-and-after photographs relevant to your concerns. The same practice gallery is used for both offices; these are not location-specific results. Photographs do not guarantee your outcome. Practice photo gallery information for Newport Beach patients
Results vary from patient to patient, and photographs are shared with consent. A consultation is the only way to know what is realistic for you.
Cost
Cost depends on the procedure and on whether procedures are combined. The current published guides are about $4,000–$9,000 for upper or lower eyelid surgery, $10,000–$18,000 for rhinoplasty, and $15,000–$30,000 or more for a facelift; see each procedure page for others. The same guide applies at both consultation offices; it is not a Newport Beach-specific market price.
Request a written quote for your proposed plan. Ask which fees it includes, such as the surgeon's fee, anesthesia, and facility fees, and what could add to the cost. Insurance rarely covers cosmetic surgery; check with your insurer if a functional concern is involved.
Recovery
Recovery depends on the procedure. Smaller procedures may take days; eyelid surgery, brow lift, and rhinoplasty often take one to two weeks before patients feel socially comfortable; a facelift or neck lift may take longer. Swelling can continue to settle for months, and rhinoplasty swelling can take a year or longer.
Plan for help at home, keep your head elevated as directed, and follow individual instructions for activity, exercise, and driving.
