Stephen H. Fink, DO, FAOCO

My experience with Dr. Fink and his staff was exceptional. I would give 10 stars if I could. For many years I felt that I had an angry appearance with a drooping forehead and upper eyelids. Dr. Fink listened to my concerns and spent a lot of time answering all my questions. I proceeded with a gliding brow lift and lip lift performed in the office with light sedation and local anesthesia. My pain was minimal, and Nurse Oksana was a very comforting presence. Dr. Fink was very precise with his before surgery facial markings to achieve symmetry and balance. His surgical skills are unmatched. My results are amazing! My eyes look refreshed, my forehead is smooth, and I don't have the angry appearance anymore. My lips look natural, balanced and symmetrical. The care I received from Dr. Fink and his staff was top notch. I recommend Dr. Fink and his staff 100 percent!

I have been considering facelift surgery for at least five years and began investigating it seriously last year. I researched it on the internet and visited with many doctors. It was a laborious project for me, but I still had more questions than answers, and still not certain it was right for me. When I met with Dr. Fink, I felt I had finally found my doctor. He was knowledgeable, trustworthy, and personable. I had dreaded the surgery, but he put me at ease about what I could expect. Dr Fink examined me and explained a lot about my face, saw what was possible, and recommended what would be best for me. He let me know and showed me what I can expect from the surgery. He was so very nice, patient, and professional. I immediately scheduled the procedures he recommended. Beyond that, he has a beautiful office in Fashion Island in Newport Beach, with super nice, attractive, and friendly people working there. The surgery was done under local anesthesia with absolutely no pain. Post-surgery, I could call or send messages with any questions during recovery. The result? In one word: Amazing!!! I am very happy that finally I had that surgery (I'm 64) and very glad it was done by Dr. Fink.

I did a lot of research when looking for a doctor. Dr. Fink had great reviews, and now I know why. I'm 68 years old and never had anything done to my face, not even botox or filler. I was getting depressed about the wrinkles on my face and neck, especially the jowl area. When I met with Dr. Fink for the consultation, I was impressed by the amount of time he spent explaining the procedure and answering my questions. His demeanor was very helpful and he provided answers to all of my questions and concerns. The procedure went well and there was minimal discomfort. It is now 10 weeks after my procedure and I couldn't be happier. My lower eyelids, face, and neck look so much better. The results are very natural, which is what I was hoping for. At 68 I didn't expect to look young, but I look like a better version of myself. I highly recommend Dr. Fink. His staff is wonderful, too.

Amazing experience! Upper blepharoplasty that was extremely easy with MD Fink and his lovely staff Oksana and Marina. I'm one week out and so happy with my results. MD Fink takes his time and explains everything while answering any questions. Couldn't have asked for a better experience

I spent a lot of time looking for a trustworthy doctor to do my upper eyelid. I finally selected Dr Fink and he was AMAZING! His staff is very patient and caring. He spent at least an hour listening to me and providing answers to all my questions. He is very humble, kind and caring.
I love my results!!

This team is the best there is! From Marina at the front desk, nurse Oksana and Dr. Fink, there is no one more kind and caring than this group of people. The very knowledgeable nurse Oksana even called me on Friday night and again on Sunday to check on my progress. They are very detail oriented and you will know exactly what they are doing at all times. Plan to hide out for a good week while your face peels and your new brighter skin appears. Mine is still flaky after 12 days but it gets better each day. Final results take 3 to 6 months but looks tighter and brighter already, with less fine lines and wrinkles, as well as brown spots. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

Dr fink is my hero !! I was very nervous about getting a lower face and neck lift due the the obvious fact it is my face and I've been looking for a solution for a few if not more years so I did the thread lift for a little over a year in order to avoid a nightmare face lift that may not be reversible and as I see it actually does nothing for the neck which was my problem area I decided to make that tough decision. It was very stressful. Went to half a dozen different doctors and I was ready to make a decision but wasn't confident until I met Dr fink. After seeing his website only faces 5 stars and an award from OC for best plastic surgeon in OC I had a good feeling already and when I called Marina did everything in her power to squeeze me in that day because I told I was going to see another Dr in that area and I was determined to make a decision that day. Long story short i met him and knew right away he was the one. Very confident in my complicated situation of other work I had done he had no doubts he could do exactly what I wanted and he delived. 100 % and I'm a very picky person so I would highly recommend him an trust him with my face hands down !! Anyone needing to talk to me just let me know. my GF already got a different procedure done due to my results and I got a couple more ladies that will be coming in. Everyone deserves a docter like him. Very Greatful !!

I have received several cosmetic procedures from Dr. Fink over the last 9 years, including eye lid surgery most recently, as well as a previous neck lift, botox and fillers. He is an excellent doctor with a professional team. They diligently and kindly ensured I received all the necessary follow up and post-surgery care needed. I feel great about how I look and regularly receive compliments about how well I'm aging (naturally) :) I highly recommend him. Thank you Dr. Fink!

Dr. Fink and his team are truly wonderful! When I came in for my first ever botox appointment, I was treated very warmly by the receptionist and nurse and felt comfortable during my visit. Dr. Fink took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure to me and discuss my desired outcomes. He provided honest expert advice, transparency, and various options so that I could ultimately decide what was best for me without feeling any pressure. I was very happy with the experience and my botox results were perfect for me. I will not be going anywhere else and recommend Dr. Fink to everyone I know!

I highly recommend Newport Faces!! Dr. Fink, Oksana, and Marina are all a pleasure to work with, all very polite, professional, and personable. Dr. Fink is incredibly detailed, skilled and compassionate about his work. He spends more than an ample amount of time on every visit explaining the work and answering any questions. He did a neck lift on me to get rid of some sagging skin that has bothered me for much of my life and the results were great! I highly recommend Newport Faces!
