At 85 years old, this patient came to us with concerns about skin laxity in her lower face, neck, and eyelids. Her goal wasn't to look different: it was to look like herself, just more refreshed and rested.
Now 3 months after a deep plane facelift, neck lift, temporal lift, upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning, and fat grafting performed by Dr. Elbert Cheng, she is enjoying a natural rejuvenation that honors her unique features while addressing the changes that come with aging.
One of the most important conversations we have with every patient is about goals. No two patients come to us for the same reasons, and no two treatment plans should be exactly alike. Some patients want a more dramatic transformation, while others simply want to restore a fresher version of themselves. Age alone does not determine candidacy or the right approach. Individual anatomy, concerns, lifestyle, and desired outcomes all play a role.
For this patient, the focus was on creating subtle, harmonious improvements: smoothing the jawline and neck, restoring volume where it had been lost, and rejuvenating the eyes while maintaining a completely natural appearance. The result is not a new face, but a refreshed reflection of the person she has always been.
Every surgical plan at Cheng Plastic Surgery is carefully customized to fit the individual, because the best results are the ones that align with each patient's vision for themselves.
