Now Available: Exploring the Endoscopic Face-Lift Approach

Endoscopic face-lift techniques are rapidly expanding worldwide as patients increasingly seek less invasive rejuvenation with minimal visible scarring.
In this comprehensive surgical video series, Dr. Marc Mani presents four complete face-lift cases, offering an in-depth look at his refined scarless endoscopic and open composite plane techniques.

Each case includes:

• Preoperative markings

• Step-by-step operative technique

• Postoperative dressings

• Detailed discussion of postoperative care and recovery

This program delivers a full procedural journey from planning to execution, making it a valuable reference for surgeons at an advanced level.

Surgical Philosophy & Innovation

Beyond technical execution, this series explores the evolution of Dr. Mani’s surgical approach and the principles guiding his intraoperative decision-making.

Dr. Mani demonstrates how to perform a true deep (composite) plane face lift without a preauricular scar—an approach he was the first to publish.
Throughout the cases, he explains the rationale behind each surgical decision, including:

• Use of Endotine Ribbon and cable sutures for stable suspension

• Strategic placement of hemostatic nets to reduce hematoma and seroma risk

• Endoscopic visualization of the facial nerve and deep anatomical structures, enhancing both safety and educational value

These endoscopic views provide unparalleled anatomical clarity, making the content highly relevant regardless of the surgeon’s preferred facelift technique.

Adjunctive & Regenerative Procedures Included

The series integrates multiple adjunctive procedures commonly performed in advanced facial rejuvenation, including:

• Transconjunctival blepharoplasty

• Brow lift

• Platysmaplasty

• Submandibular gland reduction

• Facial fat grafting

Dr. Mani also demonstrates his MIST™ (Minimally Invasive Stromovascular Transfer) technique—
a regenerative alternative to laser and chemical peel treatments, designed to improve fine lines, skin quality, and sun damage.
