Katharine C Nitta, MD FACS

I pay so much money for Botox with dr. Katherine and my results were the worst… I would not recommend her at all.

Dr. Nitta is the best plastic surgeon that I can recommend to anyone who wishes to improved their physical appearance. In addition to cosmetic surgery she is known for reconstructive surgery. She has improved my face and bustline in a way that enhanced my physical appearance so subtly that several friends who see me on a regular basis remarked that I looked great after a procedure that took only a few days for recovery. Dr. Nitta is the only surgeon that I am completely confident about recommending to family and friends. She reworked a breast augmentation by another surgeon that was causing me discomfort and the results are fantastic. In addition, I am always satisfied with the Botox and Juvederm procedures that she performs in her office.
Dr. Nitta graduated from Stanford University with a Bachelors and Masters degree in Biological Science then went on to completed her medical studies at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and her residencies at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her extraordinary education and exceptional knowledge about the patient’s body has improved my physical look and gave me the additional confidence that comes from looking the very best possible.

Dr. Nitta is the most gracious, helpful and most importantly skilled doctor I have ever see. She and her team made my procedure as stress free as possible. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable and helpful through the consultation, surgery and post-​op but she was calm and kind throughout my surgical experience which made me feel calm and safe (surgery can be a scary thing). She was there for me every step of the way and the outcome of my procedure is AMAZING! Every step of surgery was fully explained and I never felt stupid or out of place for asking a question or voicing some concern. I wouldn’t recommend any other plastic and reconstructive doctor. Thank you Dr. Nitta for your incredible work!

I highly recommend Dr. Nitta! I can’t express how happy I’ve been with Dr. Nitta. From my augmentation consultation, through surgery, recovery and forward, she’s been amazing. She even stresses the importance of scheduling an appointment to come back to see her prior to childbirth should you decide to have children after the procedure for lessons on how to properly feed your baby — above and beyond.
Unlike every other Dr. I consulted with for my procedure, she strived to perfect and make my body anatomically correct. I value and respect her word, and because she is so conservative, and careful to keep you natural beauty with slight enhancements, I’ve also started going to her for other things as well. I love how she just keeps it real — she’s not the type of Dr. to just do whatever you come in asking for — she is careful to keep you looking very natural and your best.

Dr. Kathy Nitta came highly recommended to me so I wanted to do the same here. She is amazing and I was 100 percent happy with the results. I only needed a couple minor tweaks, but what a major difference. She was professional, helpful and certainly skillful. I think that one of her specialties is reconstructive surgery so she is capable of handling the most difficult types of surgery out there, which gave me some confidence and comfort that she could handle the minor ones too. She did.

I have been to several Plastic surgeons in my lifetime and Dr. Nitta is the most superior of any one I have been to or consulted with.
Our consultation was so easy. Dr. Nitta completely understood everything I was trying to achieve. She is the easiest Dr. I have ever spoken to.
She did not try to do or suggest any more than I wanted.
I look and feel so natural now that I really can’t believe how I look and feel.
Five days after my complete face and neck lift I was out doing things all day into the evening. I know that we are all different and not everyone will feel the way I did after five days but the whole experience has been remarkable to me.
When I was being marked for my surgery, I knew Dr. Nitta was an artist. Her whole approach told me that she could see her vision and boy did she deliver.
She balanced and corrected my face and made it more symmetrical and now my favorite sunglasses look perfect on my face.
Dr. Nitta suggested products that I could buy at the drugstore that were affordably priced and are such great products, and did the trick.
I really do not believe that there can be a better Plastic Surgeon than Dr. Nitta.
I now have to have my next appointment in two months and I am going to miss her and her warm friendly staff.
When I went back to work after a week off people could not believe that I had just had a forehead lift, upper eyelids. facelift and neck lift.
Everyone just thinks that I look like a fresh, younger version of me and I feel reborn!

Dr Nita should have ten stars! I am a rn and after much research I opted for a facelift, first elective surgery. Her credentials are truly amazing… Albert Einstein med school, Stanford graduate reconstructive surgery, plus other degrees. After three weeks I was totally ready for an out of state wedding, where all I heard was wow you look great, saying it was probably the move to
.(new life style). Probably look at least ten yrs younger. Best part: zero pain and half the price of others. Dr nitta is brilliant, passionate, and the gal you would love to have as a sister or best friend. Will go back in ten yrs when I turn 75! And the only person to know is my husband (he has to pay but loves the results).

Dr. Nitta is amazing! She is a very skilled doctor who can really key into what you want or need. It has been over 5 years since I have been in her care, and am still loving the amazing results. She comes highly recommended, and I encourage anyone who is seeking a doctor with experience and knowledgeability to make a consultation asap!

My consultation with Dr. Nitta was very personable and I felt she really listened to me and understood what I wanted to achieve with surgery. She took the time to explain the procedure and post-​op expectations, possible complications, the pros and cons of different ways of achieving my goals and why she does it certain ways compared to other doctors. I walked away with my questions and concerns addressed and the information I needed to make a confident decision to proceed with surgery. A decision that I made without feeling any pressure from her or her friendly staff. Post-​op I had very little bruising and the recovery time was not nearly as bad as I had mentally prepared for. Now 3 years after my procedure, I feel confident about my body and I love my natural-​looking results! I still get comments from friends and family who are shocked when I tell them I had surgery. Achieving a natural look was important to me, and I cannot thank Dr. Nitta enough! Dr. Nitta is very personable from beginning to end. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Nitta to my family and friends. Even if you think you have found your doctor, at least have a consult with Dr. Nitta before you make such an important decision.

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Nitta. I was referred to her by my best friend who had a breast augmentation by Dr. Nitta and she looks very natural. I actually went in simply for a tummy tuck and also was inquiring about breast augmentation. I wasn’t completely sold on the breast augmentation right off the bat, but after meeting with Dr. Nitta, I felt completely comfortable and sure that I was gonna have both procedures done. Dr. Nitta made sure that I looked as proportionate and natural as possible and I am completely happy with the results. People who didn’t know me before would never guess that I had a breast augmentation. As for the tummy tuck, well, that’s my favorite part. I’m not a large person, but I’ve had four children and that left my stomach muscles separated and left me with extra skin that sagged a little to the front. Can I tell you that my stomach looks amazing now (aside from the huge scar from hip bone to hip bone, but that was expected). My stomach is flat as a board and I no longer have any type of a «muffin top.» I felt comfortable from day one. I was very nervous about the procedure the closer it got to the actual day. I have never had any work done and have never been «put under.» Can I tell you that the facility was top notch and extremely professional, from the front desk to the nursing staff to the anesthesiologist. I cannot tell you what a wonderful experience the whole process has been, and this coming from someone who never thought she would have plastic surgery. I don’t look «fake» at all. Dr. Nitta made sure that the end product was exactly what I was wanting. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking. I had consultations with other doctors as well, but each one of them tried to «upsell» me with other procedures as well. One told me that I needed liposuction on my inner thighs as well as outer thigh area. I wasn’t comfortable with that and didn’t think that I necessarily needed that. The minute I mentioned this to Dr. Nitta, she immediately told me that they were wrong. I didn’t need any of that «extra» stuff. She could have easily said the same thing and possibly talked me into having another procedure, but she didn’t and she was totally honest with me, which was absolutely refreshing. Dr. Nitta is not only a wonderful surgeon, but also a wonderful person who has great people skills and knows how to make the most skeptical person feel great about plastic surgery. I would not hesitate to do it all over again.

Prior to having a forehead lift I visited four plastic surgeons in Newport Beach. I chose Dr. Nitta because she told me that doing this operation is important for the doctor to make the man keep looking like a man and not a woman! Boy, did I appreciate her honesty (since I am a man) and the final product was incredible. Dr. Nitta is not only brilliant (Stanford and Albert Einstein Medical School) but she is also addicted to detail. My forehead looks so natural and her bedside manner is very comforting. I also love the surgery center she uses across from Hoag Hospital in Newport because you have a bonafied anesthesiologist, RN’s, etc. instead of the operation being done in the doctor’s office. I would never feel safe in case my heart stopped or something similar if I was being operated on in an office. All in all, I have recommended many female and male friends to Dr. Nitta and to a person they thank me for the referral. She’s GREAT.
