Facelift (high-SMAS, bilamellar), upper and lower blepharoplasties by Dr. Mani -
Elaine had long been bothered by "jowls" and other signs of facial aging and wanted to look younger and refreshed, but still like herself:

A bilamellar, high-SMAS (skin and fibromuscular [SMAS] layer lifted separately) facelift restored the youthful fullness to her cheeks, and eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) eliminated the puffiness from under her eyes as well as the hooding above them.

Facelift (deep-plane), endoscopic browlift, lower blepharoplasties by Dr. Mani
Joy had begun to notice aging changes in her lower face and neck, as well as lower eyelids, over the past two years. A deep-plane (skin and SMAS lifted as one unit, appropriate for relatively younger patients with less skin excess) addressed these changes.

Before After
Notice the return of a youthful, "heart" shape to her face compared to the more rectangular shape before the procedure.

Before After
Her beautiful features, cheekbone structure and jaw structure, are more visible as a result of the surgery.

Mini-Facelift (minimal incision, bilamellar), mini-browlift, upper and lower blepharoplasty by Dr. Mani -
Susan, 42, noticed early drooping of the jowl area and complained of "looking tired." She also wanted a procedure to smooth out the irregularities of her facial skin left over from acne scarring.

Before After
A mini-facelift and temporal browlift restored her cheek and lower facial contour, as well as her youthful brow arch. A lower blepharoplasty removed the "bags" under her eyes, without changing their natural shape.

Before After
Her jawline was also rejuvenated.

Before After
The "marionette lines" beside her mouth are completely removed by the mini-facelift.
Facelift (bilamellar, high-SMAS), mini-browlift, upper eyelid lift, perioral TCA chemical peel by Dr. Mani - Mother of Mother/Daughter Facelift:
Shirley, Susan's mother, was 62 at the time of her procedure. She "hated" the lined that she began to notice around her mouth and between her eyebrows, the "bands" in her neck, and the "jowls" which hang over her jawline.

Before After
A bilamellar, high-SMAS (skin and fibromuscular [SMAS] layer lifted separately) facelift, temporal browlift, and upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasties brought Shirley back in time over a decade and a half.

Before After
Her strong cheekbone jaw structure are more visible as a result of the surgery.

Before After
Her neckline, one of her main complaints before surgery, is restored to a much more youthful angle.

Facelift (bilamellar, high-SMAS), temporal browlift, upper and lower blepharoplasty by Dr. Mani -
Pat, a 55 year-old woman, had begun to notice quite recently that "everything started to drop." The heaviness in her lower face resulted more from descent of deeper tissues than stretching of the skin.

Before After
A facelift which suspends the muscle layer underneath the skin reversed what gravity had done to her face. The deeper lift gives a very natural, long-lasting result.

Before After
Pat's strong neck and jawline was brought back to the way she remembered it from decades before.

Facelift (bilamellar, high-SMAS) by Dr. Mani -
This 46 year old mother of two also noticed that her lower face had begun to "fall" in the past couple of years. She complained about seeing someone in the mirror who was much older than she felt inside.

Before After
A bilamellar, high-SMAS facelift procedure with lifting of the deep, muscular layer of the face as a separate layer brightened her appearance dramatically.

Before After
The nasolabial folds are much less noticeable, as well as the "marionette lines" beside her mouth.

Before After
The redundant skin fold in her neck is gone also. After surgery, she feels more in step with her teenage daughters, and much happier with what she sees in the mirror.
Cheeklift (and rhinoplasty) by Dr. Mani
A cheeklift, or mid-facelift, uses hidden incisions in the temporal hair and inside the mouth to lift the cheek tissue upward. It is best-suited for women in their later 30's to early 40's who have downward movement of the mass of tissue in the cheek or midface.
Julia is a 38 year-old businesswoman from England who had noticed this exact problem. Dr. Mani performed a cheeklift on her with the result that she appears more like someone in her late 20's or early 30's.
