Facial Fat Transfer

Perfect Experience with the Best Team in Bay Area

I first went to Dr. Elbert Cheng for a brow lift to fix the asymmetry of my brows that bothered me for years. The results were so natural and satisfying so that I went back to him for more procedures: fat transfer to my forehead and cheeks, lower eyelid surgery, and also Vaserlipo with Renuvion to tighten the loose skin on my abdomen. May because I'm slim, the liposuction improvement wasn't very noticeable, but the skin tightening definitely was. On my face, the fat transfer survived beautifully, and it really perfected my facial contour. As for the lower eyelid procedure, It noticeably smoothes my lower eye area. I couldn't be happier! Dr. Cheng always respects my opinions. For each consulting and post-procedure appointment, he always listens patiently, then shares his professional advice based on his rich experience. After my eyelid surgery, I developed some excess skin from over-healing. I was so anxious, but Dr. Cheng immediately scheduled a follow-up to remove it and carefully monitored me throughout recovery, reassuring me the whole way. The entire team at Cheng Plastic Surgery is amazing--so sweet, warm, and genuinely caring. Special thanks to nurse Sevannah, who gave me multiple post-op massage sessions for my abdomen. She was incredibly gentle and helped me recover faster by reducing swelling (she's an angel ). Coming here gave me the results I dreamed of, made me feel cared for by a passionate and thoughtful team who truly put their patients first. I'm deeply grateful and wholeheartedly recommend Cheng Plastic Surgery to anyone who wants to discover and enhance their beauty!

Caring, Competent and Skilled Doctor

Dr. Cheng is very professional, experienced and has great bedside manner! I've been pretty scared to get botox done and increase the number of units used, but I felt completely safe under his care. I appreciate that he remembers his patients and takes a moment to ask how you're doing and remembers what you have going on in your life. He took into consideration what I'm looking to achieve and customized my treatment without over doing it. I'm glad I trusted his recommendation because I'm loving my look and it's lasting longer.

Lip Lift

Gifted surgeon & amazing staff! Eyebrow, upper eye & lip lift & CO2 laser

I got a few services: eyebrow lift, upper eye lift, CO2 laser, and a lip lift. Dr. Cheng is a very gifted surgeon, and his staff are wonderful. I felt very taken care of and felt I could really trust my face with Dr. Cheng. I am about 4 weeks post op and feel fine going out with a little concealer. The lip lift is awesome and I highly recommend it instead of fillers! The healing time was about the same as getting lip fillers and also less painful for me (I tend to swell easily). I don't know that would be everyone's experience, but it was mine.

Fantastic doctor - everyone tells me I look far better

Dr Elbert is fantastic! I’ve had a face & neck lift, bags removed from lower eyes, lip lift plus CO2 laser. I’m in the 70+ age group and because at that age, your skin loses its elasticity and it becomes more difficult to have good outcomes. Dr Elbert handles all these problems with expertise. I’ve had many female friends in my age group who have gone to other plastic surgeons and everyone tells me I look far better and results last longer. Dr Elbert sutures are tiny and just about invisible, my face lift took care of my jowls without looking pulled. I wouldn’t have any other doctor but Dr Elbert touch my eyes. When Dr Elbert did my lower eyes he tightened the underlying muscle not just the skin to avoid ectropion, which is when the lower eyelid turns outward. A female friend had her lower eyes done by other plastic surgeon who didn’t tighten the muscle and she ended up with ectropion which has been a nightmare for her. Dr Elbert is a highly intelligent talented kind plastic surgeon with great bedside matter who explains everything in detail. His whole staff is very professional and very personable.

Deep Plane Facelift

So Grateful to Dr. Cheng and His Staff

I cannot express enough gratitude for Dr. Elbert Cheng and his incredible team. I recently underwent a deep plane facelift, fat grafting, buccal fat removal, and neck lift, and the results are simply breathtaking. Dr. Cheng's artistic eye and meticulous technique are evident in the natural and refreshed appearance he's given me. I feel years younger and more confident. His calming demeanor and excellent communication skills made the entire process comfortable and stress-free. He patiently explained every step, ensuring I fully understood the procedures and recovery process. The entire office staff, from the nurses to the anesthesiologist, were incredibly kind and supportive. The state-of-the-art equipment and facilities provided a safe and comfortable environment. The aftercare was exceptional; I never hesitated to ask questions or seek assistance. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Elbert Cheng to anyone considering plastic surgery. His expertise, compassion, and commitment to patient satisfaction are truly unparalleled.

Lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning - very supportive throughout

I had a lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning with Dr Elbert Cheng. Prior to the surgery, Dr Cheng provided a detailed explanation on the procedure, the risks and what to expect during the recovery process. Dr Cheng and his team were all warm, friendly and professional. They were also very supportive throughout the whole process during the visits, and via texts and emails. I felt well taken care off before and after surgery. The surgery went very well. It is 2 months post surgery and I am very pleased with my results. I would highly reccommend Dr Cheng!!As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway

I Cannot Stop Staring in the Mirror!

I cannot stop staring in the mirror! Dr. Cheng gave me a facelift a few months ago, and I absolutely love my new face. Literally everything I disliked about it has been fixed. For the first time in years I'm happy when I look in the mirror. I highly recommend Dr. Cheng. He is extremely knowledgeable, and he's a really nice guy too. His staff is wonderful as well.
