85 years young. 12 days post-op.

This beautiful patient is just 12 days after:
Deep plane facelift + necklift
Temporal brow reshaping
Revision upper blepharoplasty
Lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning
Fat transfer
Performed by Dr. Elbert Cheng

Healing timeline:
Day 1–3: swelling + tightness + bruising peaks
Day 4–7: bruising begins to fade, swelling starts dropping
Day 7–10: facial shape refines, neck contour emerges
Day 10–14: most patients feel “public ready” with makeup + sunglasses
Week 3–6: continued softening, smoother eyelids, more natural movement
Month 3–12: final refinement + long-term result settles in

At 85, healing can be slower, but with the right technique, planning, and aftercare, outcomes can still be incredibly natural and rejuvenating.

Results vary. Timeline is a general guide.

This gorgeous 32-year-old came to Cheng Plastic Surgery with concerns about upper teeth show while talking/smiling and lower face droopiness after 2 years of masseter Botox. She also felt tightness under the nose when smiling, and noticed her upper lip would “disappear” compared to her resting shape.

She wanted to keep what she already loved about her natural lip shape, just with a more balanced, refreshed look.

Dr. Elbert Cheng performed a Corner of the Mouth Lift + a Revision Lip Lift (her first lip lift was done at a different office).

Now at 5 months post-op, she is thrilled with her results!
