Dr. Feng takes a very personal approach to all procedures, but particularly the face. Interested patients are asked to bring photos of when they were much younger, to their consultation appointment. This allows Dr. Feng to analyze their more youthful appearance and better understand how their face has aged over the years. At this point, Dr. Feng can create a plan to restore those most cherished features and make the appropriate recommendations.
Patients’ initial consultation lasts at least 2 hours to ensure that Dr. Feng completely understands the patient’s goals and that they are comfortable with her recommendations. Dr. Feng also shares before and after photographs of consenting patients so prospective new patients can better understand what is possible and witness her artistic and surgical skills.
A Lower Lid Blepharoplasty tightens the eye muscle, redistributes bulging fat and excess skin on lower eyelids. It corrects the tear trough and eliminates dark circles by redistributing the fat (to correct deficiencies or dents) and lifts the surrounding skin and muscle to improve the contour of the cheek. The result is the elimination of fatty pouches or dark circles beneath the eyes and lifted upper cheeks. This procedure also helps to correct malar bags in the cheek and minimize nasolabial folds by tightening the eye muscle.
An Upper Lid Blepharoplasty removes or corrects excess skin and repositions the folds of the upper eyelids. For patients who have “lazy eyes” or upper eyelid ptosis (saggy eyelids), this procedure can also tighten the mueller muscle or the levator muscle to open the eyes by elevating the upper eyelid function. The result is a smoother, more open eye and youthful appearance.
A brow lift minimizes deep wrinkles across the forehead and/or the deep crease that can occur high on the bridge of the nose. This procedure also restores the eyebrows to a more youthful, natural position, decreasing the “angry look”. Overall, Dr. Feng’s method of doing the brow lift helps to restore a more refreshed appearance to the eyes and face.
Combining fat injections with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is beneficial for adding lost volume in the face. The procedure addresses some of the major issues seen with aging, namely loss of soft tissue volume and thin, inelastic skin. The minimal discomfort, limited downtime, and immediate results from these procedures contribute to their popularity.
