Endoscopic Scarless Lift & Open Total Composite Flap Face-lift Techniques
This surgical training series showcases Dr. Marc Mani’s refined endoscopic face-lift technique through four complete operative cases. Designed for surgeons seeking minimally invasive yet anatomically advanced rejuvenation options, the course demonstrates how to perform a true deep (composite) plane face lift without a preauricular scar—a method Dr. Mani was the first to publish.
What’s inside:
Each case includes markings, step-by-step endoscopic dissection, postoperative dressings, and full commentary.
Case Highlights:
-
Scarless Composite Lifts: Three cases showing Dr. Mani’s endoscopic en-bloc deep-plane face & neck lift without a preauricular scar.
-
Open Composite Lift: One TCF (Total Composite Flap) case demonstrating open incisions, deep-plane elevation, cervical work, and closure for an invisible preauricular result.
✔ Adjunctive Procedures Demonstrated
-
Transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty
-
Endoscopic brow lift
-
Platysmaplasty
-
Digastric & submandibular gland reduction
-
Fat harvesting and fat grafting
✔ Regenerative Technique: MIST™
Complete demonstration of Dr. Mani’s minimally invasive stromovascular transfer for fine lines and sun damage.
✔ Advanced Stabilization Methods
Use of Endotine Ribbon, cable sutures, and hemostatic nets for suspension and complication reduction.
✔ Deep Anatomy Visualization
Endoscopic views with integrated medical illustrations for precise identification of facial nerve branches and composite-plane anatomy.
