About

Dr. Hisham Seify is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon practicing in Newport Beach, California. He is a Clinical Professor at UCI and Director of the OC Aesthetic Fellowship. Dr. Seify is recognized as a US News Top Doc and has been named one of Newsweek’s America’s Best Plastic Surgeons every year since 2022, including for Facelift, Breast Augmentation, Eyelid Surgery, Tummy Tuck, Liposuction, and Rhinoplasty in 2026. He approaches plastic surgery with a philosophy that aims to restore a more rested, rejuvenated version of the patient, never changing their inherent features. Every procedure is personalized to each patient’s unique anatomy and goals. Dr. Seify emphasizes natural-looking results designed to complement a patient's natural proportions. For facial rejuvenation, he distinguishes between volume loss and tissue descent, noting they require different treatment approaches. He explains that while filler can restore lost volume, it cannot reliably reposition descended tissue, and accurately identifying the cause of aging leads to a more precise plan. In breast augmentation, customization considers anatomy, aesthetic goals, and desired outcome for enhanced volume, shape, and balance with a soft, natural appearance. For breast revision, he addresses complex cases beyond simple implant exchange, focusing on restoring support and improving shape. Virtual consultations are available.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Hisham Seify

Sourced directly from Dr. Hisham Seify's social posts and replies.

What is Dr. Seify's approach to facial rejuvenation, particularly regarding volume loss vs. tissue descent?
Dr. Seify emphasizes the critical distinction between volume loss and tissue descent in facial rejuvenation, as they require very different treatment approaches. Volume loss occurs when the face loses fullness (e.g., cheeks, temples, around eyes), while tissue descent involves facial structures shifting downward (e.g., lower cheeks, reduced jawline, jowling). While fillers can restore lost volume, they cannot reliably reposition descended tissue. Misidentifying the cause can lead to an unnatural, heavier appearance. The key to natural-looking results is accurately identifying whether changes are due to volume loss, tissue position changes, or both, to create a precise and individualized treatment plan.

What are the goals and mechanisms of Dr. Seify's Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty with Brow Lift procedure?
This combination procedure addresses excess upper eyelid skin, under-eye bags, and puffiness, while lifting the brow to create a brighter, more open appearance around the eyes. The goal is to achieve a refreshed, more youthful appearance, restoring a more rested and rejuvenated version of the patient, without changing their natural features.
Source →
What does Dr. Seify's Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) procedure involve and what are its benefits?
Abdominoplasty involves removing excess skin and tightening the abdominal muscles to create a smoother, more defined midsection. The procedure aims for natural-looking results and can help restore patient confidence. Every procedure is personalized to each patient’s unique anatomy and goals.
Source →
What is Dr. Seify's approach to breast revision surgery, and when might it be considered?
Breast revision surgery is often more complex than a simple implant exchange. Over time, implant pockets can stretch, breast tissue can sag, skin can lose elasticity, and scar tissue or implant malposition can develop, necessitating more extensive procedures. Simply replacing implants may not correct these underlying issues. Dr. Seify's goal is to restore support, improve shape, and create natural-looking results tailored to the patient's anatomy, previous surgery, and aesthetic goals. Patients may consider revision if they are experiencing changes over time, have implant concerns, or wish to update previous results. Specific techniques may include bilateral breast implant exchange, vertical mastopexy, and capsulectomy.
Source →
Why does Dr. Seify often recommend combining Facelift and Neck Lift procedures?
Dr. Seify notes that the face and neck age together, and their underlying tissues (SMAS and platysma) are continuous. For most patients, addressing only one area without the other often leads to an unbalanced or unnatural appearance. Therefore, treating both the face and neck together provides the most harmonious and comprehensive rejuvenation, though rare exceptions exist where procedures like a forehead lift, midface lift, or blepharoplasty can be performed independently.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$860

Payments

13

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Hisham Seify received $860 across 13 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 56% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was PolyNovo North America LLC.

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
