6 weeks post-op and already loving her refreshed look!⁠
⁠
This stunning patient came to see Dr. Elbert Cheng with concerns about upper eyelid hooding and signs of aging around the eyes. Over time, the brow can gradually descend while excess skin develops on the upper eyelids. When this happens together, it can make the eyes appear tired, heavy, or less defined.⁠
⁠
To address both concerns, Dr. Cheng performed a temporal brow lift combined with an upper blepharoplasty.⁠
⁠
A temporal brow lift focuses on elevating the outer portion of the brow (the tail of the brow). By lifting this area, it helps restore a more youthful brow position and gently opens the outer eye area without creating an over-arched or surprised look.⁠
⁠
An upper blepharoplasty removes carefully measured excess skin from the upper eyelids. This smooths the eyelid contour and reduces hooding, allowing the natural shape of the eyes to be seen again.⁠
⁠
When performed together, these procedures work synergistically:⁠
• The brow lift restores the brow to a more youthful position⁠
• The blepharoplasty refines the eyelid by removing excess skin⁠
• Together they create a balanced, naturally open eye rather than an overdone appearance⁠
⁠
At just 6 weeks post-op, swelling continues to improve and her results will keep refining over the coming months. The goal is always a result that looks refreshed, rested, and naturally youthful!⁠

Welcome back to Breakfast at Cheng’s!

In this series, the providers at Cheng Plastic Surgery gather around the breakfast table to cook, eat, and dive into the conversations most people avoid. From controversial topics to honest takes on aesthetics, medicine, and culture. Nothing is off the menu.

In Episode 3, we’re serving up breakfast and tackling one of the most talked-about treatments in aesthetics: dermal fillers.

Join Nurse Teresa as she breaks down the realities of filler treatment, including what fillers can and can’t do, how trends have shaped public perception, and why individualized treatment plans matter. From common misconceptions about being "overfilled" to the role filler plays in facial balancing and rejuvenation, this conversation explores the nuances behind one of aesthetic medicine’s most debated topics.

It’s expert insight, candid conversation, and breakfast: served all in one: https://youtu.be/0k6Evr2QwZY

This beautiful patient is shown before surgery, just 1 week after surgery (with minimal bruising!), and now 6 months after her transformation with Dr. Elbert Cheng.

Procedures performed:
• Deep Plane Facelift & Neck Lift
• Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty
• Ptosis Repair

The goal was never to change how she looks: only to restore a more refreshed, rested version of herself. Natural results, improved definition, brighter eyes, and a rejuvenated appearance while still looking completely like her.

4 weeks post-op from her deep plane face & neck lift with CO2 laser.
5 weeks post-op from her upper & lower blepharoplasty, temporal brow lift, and fat transfer.

And the transformation continues to get better and better!

In these before & afters, you can already see the beautiful changes taking shape: brighter eyes and tighter, glowing skin.

What makes this journey so special is hearing directly from the patient throughout the process. From her earliest recovery days to now, she’s shared honest insight into healing, swelling, downtime, and what the experience has really been like undergoing multiple facial rejuvenation procedures with Dr. Jacqueline Cheng.

And she’s still healing!
Results will continue to refine over the coming months as swelling settles and tissues soften.

We’ve been documenting her full journey on YouTube: from her first week post-op through every stage of recovery. If you want to hear her experience firsthand and follow her transformation in real time, make sure to watch the full series (link in bio).

What part of her transformation stands out most to you?

5 months post-op: Revision lip lift + corner of the mouth lift by Dr. Elbert Cheng.

After having her original lip lift done elsewhere, this patient felt like her upper lip would disappear when her face was at rest, and she also experienced tightness beneath the nose when smiling.

By combining a revision lip lift with a corner of the mouth lift, Dr. Elbert was able to restore upper lip show, improve overall harmony, and create a more relaxed, refreshed appearance. These procedures work beautifully together because enhancing the upper lip alone isn’t always enough: the corners of the mouth also play a major role in facial expression and balance.

She’s thrilled with her results, and we love seeing her confidence shine through!

Watch her scars vanish over time!

This beautiful transformation shows the healing journey after Asian upper blepharoplasty with Dr. Elbert Cheng: from before surgery, to 6 days post-op, 1 month post-op, and finally 1 year later.

At just 6 days, swelling and incision lines are still part of the normal healing process. By 1 month, the eyes already appear brighter and more refreshed as the scars continue to soften. And at 1 year, the result is naturally refined with scars that have faded beautifully into the crease.

Healing is a process, and every stage tells part of the story.

At 5 months post-op, this patient’s results continue to evolve beautifully.⁠
⁠
She originally came to us concerned about jowling and laxity through the neck, hoping for a result that felt refreshed, natural, and still completely her own. Dr. Elbert Cheng performed a customized combination of procedures including a Deep Plane Facelift & Neck Lift, Subnasal Lip Lift, Facial Fat Transfer, and CO2 resurfacing to the face and neck.⁠
⁠
By this stage in healing, much of the deeper swelling has resolved, allowing the surgical refinement and skin quality improvements to fully emerge. The jawline appears more defined, the neck smoother and more sculpted, and the overall result feels effortless, balanced, and harmonious.⁠
⁠
One of the most important things patients learn throughout this process is that healing doesn’t happen overnight. Results continue to soften, settle, and improve month after month.⁠
⁠
•1 week: Swelling and bruising peak as the body begins its healing process.⁠
•1 month: Definition starts to emerge and patients begin looking like themselves again, just more rested and refreshed.⁠
•5 months: Greater refinement, improved skin texture, and beautifully integrated results that feel effortless and enduring.⁠
⁠
Beautiful outcomes are not just about surgery, they are about patience, healing, and thoughtful attention to every stage of the journey.⁠
