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.
