A balanced profile isn’t always about changing just one feature.

This before & after shows a patient 3 months after Rhinoplasty and Chin Augmentation with an implant, performed by Dr. Jacqueline Cheng.

This patient initially came to us concerned that her nose appeared crooked and was also experiencing some difficulty breathing. Her treatment plan was designed to address her individual nasal concerns while creating greater balance between the nose, chin, and overall facial profile.

Why combine Rhinoplasty and Chin Augmentation? The nose and chin play an important role in facial proportions. Rhinoplasty can refine the shape, alignment, and projection of the nose, while Chin Augmentation can add definition and projection to the chin. When appropriate for the patient, treating both areas together can create a more harmonious profile while maintaining natural-looking facial proportions.

This patient came to us wanting to improve the prominent under-eye bags that were making his eyes look heavier and more tired. Dr. Elbert Cheng performed a Lower Blepharoplasty with Fat Repositioning and CO₂ laser resurfacing to create a smoother, more refreshed appearance while maintaining a natural result.

Why does lower eyelid fat repositioning work so well?

Under-eye bags are often caused by prominent fat pads in the lower eyelid. Simply removing that fat can reduce the bulge, but it may also leave a hollow or sunken appearance in some patients. With Fat Repositioning, Dr. Cheng strategically moves the existing lower eyelid fat into the hollow area along the tear trough. This helps address both sides of the contour problem at once: reducing the appearance of the eye bag while filling the depression beneath it.

The result is a smoother transition from the lower eyelid to the cheek, without relying on filler to camouflage the hollow.

CO₂ laser resurfacing can further improve the result by addressing fine lines, skin texture, and crepey lower eyelid skin.

For the right candidate, combining Lower Blepharoplasty, Fat Repositioning, and CO₂ laser resurfacing can create a rested, natural-looking improvement without changing the character of the eyes.

We first shared this patient’s results at 2 weeks, then again at 2 months following her comprehensive facial rejuvenation with Dr. Jacqueline Cheng. One month later, her results continue to settle, soften, and reveal greater refinement.⁠
⁠
Her personalized surgical plan with Dr. Jacqueline Cheng included:⁠
• Deep Plane Face & Neck Lift⁠
• Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty⁠
• Temporal Brow Lift⁠
• Fat Grafting⁠
• CO₂ Laser Resurfacing⁠
⁠
By thoughtfully combining procedures that address facial and neck laxity, the eye and brow area, volume, and skin quality, Dr. Cheng approached her rejuvenation comprehensively, creating a result that feels balanced and harmonious across the face and neck.⁠
⁠
At 2 months, the transformation was already apparent, though residual swelling and tissue firmness were still part of the healing process.⁠
⁠
Now at 3 months, swelling continues to diminish, the face and neck are becoming softer and more defined, and the surgical result is beginning to look increasingly settled and refined.⁠
⁠
And healing continues. Following a deep plane facelift and neck lift, particularly when combined with eyelid surgery, fat grafting and laser resurfacing, the tissues can continue to settle and the overall result can continue to mature over the months ahead.⁠
⁠
This progression from 2 to 3 months is an important reminder that a beautiful surgical result isn’t captured at a single moment. It reveals itself gradually throughout the healing process.⁠

This patient came to Dr. Jacqueline Cheng more than 15 years after undergoing a rhinoplasty elsewhere. Over time, she continued to feel that her nose appeared wide and that unevenness of the nostrils affected the overall balance of her features. She was also bothered by hollowing through the temples and cheeks, along with early laxity through the lower face.

To create a softer, more harmonious result, Dr. Cheng performed a revision Rhinoplasty and Pan-Facial Fat Transfer, approaching the nose and face together rather than as separate features.

During revision rhinoplasty, Dr. Cheng refined the existing nasal structure with the goal of improving proportion, definition, and nostril symmetry while maintaining a result that feels natural to the rest of the face. At just one month post-op, her nose is still very early in the healing process and will continue to refine as swelling gradually subsides over the coming months.

Pan-facial fat transfer uses a patient’s own fat to strategically restore volume in areas where it has diminished. For this patient, restoring volume through areas such as the temples and cheeks helps soften hollowing, improve facial contours, and create a smoother transition from the upper to lower face. Fat transfer can also provide subtle support to areas of early laxity by restoring some of the underlying volume that contributes to youthful facial structure.

Even at this early stage, we can appreciate how addressing both structure and volume can bring greater symmetry and balance to the face as a whole without changing the features that make her look like herself.

Her results will continue to evolve as nasal swelling decreases, the transferred fat settles, and her tissues heal. We’re excited to follow her continued refinement over the months ahead.

Individual results vary. One-month results are not considered final.

What makes a rhinoplasty successful?

In this 30-second microlearning, Dr. Jacqueline Cheng breaks down an important question. A beautiful rhinoplasty isn’t simply about making a nose smaller, straighter, or more refined. It’s about creating a result that works in harmony with the patient’s individual features while respecting both form and function.

As a double baord certified plastic surgeon and rhinoplasty specialist, Dr. Jacqueline Cheng brings a surgeon’s understanding of facial anatomy, proportion, surgical planning, and healing to every conversation. Her perspective is grounded in the idea that there is no single “perfect” nose. A successful result should be thoughtfully tailored to the person, taking their anatomy, facial balance, goals, and breathing into consideration.

That’s also why rhinoplasty can be such a nuanced procedure. Even subtle changes to the bridge, tip, nostrils, or overall projection can influence the way the entire face is perceived. The goal isn’t to give every patient the same nose. It’s to determine which changes make sense for their face.

And while this video can’t cover everything that goes into planning and performing a rhinoplasty, it can answer one of the most important questions to start with: What does a successful rhinoplasty actually look like?

Why combine a Brow Lift, Asian Blepharoplasty, Lower Blepharoplasty, and Facial Fat Grafting in one surgical plan?

For some patients, rejuvenating the eye area involves more than treating the upper eyelids alone. Dr. Elbert Cheng combines procedures when appropriate to address the relationship between the brows, upper eyelids, lower eyelids, and midface for a more balanced, cohesive result.

This patient is 3 months post-op following:
• Left direct brow lift + right sub-brow lift
• Asian upper blepharoplasty
• Lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning + skin pinch
• Fat grafting to the V2/midface

Rather than treating each area in isolation, this customized approach addresses multiple components of the periorbital region while preserving the patient’s natural features.

At 3 months, the tissues are still healing, and the results may continue to settle and refine over time.

How do you fix a long upper lip without filler?

Lip filler is an excellent option for adding volume. But if your concern is that your upper lip looks too long, hides your upper teeth when you smile, or has lengthened with age, filler alone can't shorten the distance between your nose and lip. In those cases, a Lip Lift may be the better solution.

This patient had previously tried lip filler to improve her lips. While filler restored volume, it couldn't address the underlying issue: a long upper lip. To achieve her goals, Dr. Jacqueline Cheng performed a Lip Lift along with a Corner of the Mouth Lift.

A Lip Lift shortens the space between the nose and upper lip, creating a more youthful proportion and increasing upper tooth show when smiling. A Corner of the Mouth Lift subtly elevates the outer corners of the lips, helping soften a downturned expression. Together, these procedures improve lip shape and facial harmony in a way filler alone cannot.

At just 6 weeks post-op, she is still healing, and her scars will continue to soften over the coming months. Even this early, her lips appear more balanced, refreshed, and naturally proportional to her face.

As a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon with over 25 years of experience, Dr. Jacqueline Cheng customizes every treatment plan to the patient's anatomy and goals. Sometimes that's filler, sometimes it's surgery, and often it's a combination. The best treatment depends on what you're trying to correct.

If you've been wondering:
• Can filler fix a long upper lip?
• What's the difference between a lip lift and lip filler?
• Am I a candidate for a lip lift?
• What does a corner of the mouth lift do?

Schedule a consultation to learn which option is right for you.
