The Surgeon's Surgeon "I had been contemplating having my upper eyelids done for years. I finally decided to move forward and saw someone who I have worked with for nearly a decade. He is not only a superb surgeon but a great physician with a wonderful bedside manner. I had my procedure in the office under a local anesthetic. It was pain free and a very easy procedure. While I was not his most compliant patient, I am now 5 months out and very pleased with my outcome. I look more youthful and can see better! Having lived in Dallas for many years and been in the field, I could have chosen many in the area, all of whom are great. I went with the person I felt most comfortable with, in the environment that was best for me. He is someone I have not only worked with over the years but also the one I turn to for my most challenging patients. You will be happy when you choose Dr. Mancini to care for you." Jeffrey M Kenkel, MD, FACS Chairman of Plastic Surgery Director, Clinical Center for Cosmetic Laser Treatment International Clientele I come from Italy, and I travel internationally - and have done so for the last 8 years - for Dr. Ronald Mancini. I am a perfectionist and I do my research very thoroughly. A few years ago, I experienced two serious issues: a botched eyelid surgery that also resulted in ectropion. Corrective oculoplastic surgery is significantly more complex than operating on a new case, so choosing the right specialist was absolutely critical. Dr. Mancini stands out at the very top of his field. He corrected what had gone wrong with precision, restraint, and exceptional technical skill. The results restored both function and appearance in a way that looks completely natural — never overdone. Because of his expertise, I traveled from Italy to Dallas specifically to be treated by him. Now that he has moved to Los Angeles, I continue to follow him there. Most recently, I saw him for upper eyelid filler — an extremely delicate area where advanced technique and deep anatomical knowledge are essential. Once again, the result was subtle, refined, and perfectly judged. Dr. Mancini uses cutting-edge techniques, but what I value just as much is his calm, confident demeanor. He is thoughtful, reassuring, and honest about what should — and should not — be done. He inspires trust immediately. It is no surprise that his work is sought after internationally, including strong interest from Asia. In a field where mistakes are difficult to fix and experience truly matters, Dr. Mancini is exceptional. I would not trust my eyes to anyone else, and I recommend him without hesitation Katja The Surgeon's Surgeon "I had been contemplating having my upper eyelids done for years.

INNOVATIONS Hyaluronic Acid Gel Gold-Weight for Paralytic Lagophthalmos Functional & Clinical Benefits The Hyaluronic Acid Gel Gold-Weight technique , developed by Dr. Ronald Mancini , is a novel surgical approach used to treat paralytic lagophthalmos , a condition in which patients cannot fully close their eyelids due to facial nerve paralysis. Traditional treatments often involve surgically implanting a small gold weight into the upper eyelid to help gravity close the eye. Dr. Mancini’s innovation uses hyaluronic acid gel as a functional alternative , allowing physicians to temporarily restore eyelid closure while preserving eyelid anatomy and function. This minimally invasive approach can help protect the cornea, improve eye comfort, and reduce complications associated with permanent eyelid implants. The technique was first described in: Mancini R, Taban M, Lowinger A, et al. Use of hyaluronic Acid gel in the management of paralytic lagophthalmos: the hyaluronic Acid gel "gold weight". Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. 2009;25(1):23-26. doi:10.1097/IOP.0b013e318192568d Functional & Clinical Benefits • Provides temporary eyelid closure restoration without permanent implants • Helps protect the cornea and reduce exposure keratopathy • Offers a reversible, minimally invasive treatment option REQUEST A CONSULTATION Who May Benefit from This Procedure? Patients experiencing facial nerve paralysis, Bell’s palsy, or eyelid weakness that prevents complete eye closure may benefit from this innovative approach. The technique is particularly useful for patients who need temporary eyelid support while nerve function recovers or while planning long-term surgical reconstruction.

INNOVATIONS Trochleaectomy for Chronic Trochlear Pain Functional Benefits The trochlea is a small structure in the upper eye socket that guides the movement of the superior oblique muscle.

The technique was published in: Mettu P, Mancini R, Friedman DI, Garrity JA. Trochleaectomy: An Effective Treatment of Trochlear Pain in Monocular Patients. J Neuroophthalmol. 2021;41(2):246-250. doi:10.1097/WNO.0000000000000916 Functional Benefits • Provides relief from chronic trochlear pain • Restores comfortable eye movement • Offers a surgical option when other treatments fail REQUEST A CONSULTATION Who Should Consider This Surgery?

INNOVATIONS The “Tuck and Rise” Brow Lift Technique Functional & Aesthetic Benefits Dr. Ronald Mancini developed the “Tuck and Rise” technique , a surgical enhancement of traditional internal brow pexy used to elevate the brow and improve upper eyelid aesthetics.

Expert upper blepharoplasty in Beverly Hills. Dr. Mancini removes drooping eyelid skin to improve vision and appearance with natural-looking results. Upper Blepharoplasty Surgery involves rejuvenation of the upper eyelids often involving removal of excess skin and sculpting of eyelid fat pads. BEFORE What is Upper Blepharoplasty? Dr. Mancini approaches upper blepharoplasty on an individualized patient basis. Removal of excess upper eyelid skin is often combined with eyelid fat sculpting and repositioning in an effort to create a natural, youthful upper eyelid appearance. Example : 51yo female before and after Upper and Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty BEFORE Irregular platform show with redundant crepey skin Redundant lower eyelid skin AFTER Youthful appearing “short” lower eyelids with improved contour Symmetric platform show with no skin redundancy Patient Summary At 51, this patient wanted to address heaviness in her upper eyelids and under-eye concerns for a more refreshed appearance. She underwent upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty to enhance eyelid contour, reduce puffiness, and brighten her eyes. The result is a naturally rejuvenated look that enhances her features while maintaining her unique expression. UPPER BLEPHORAPLASTY Functional & Aesthetic Benefits Improved Vision and Comfort: For patients whose upper‑lid skin overlaps the eyelashes or even the pupil, the surgery often relieves visual obstruction, eyelid fatigue, or the need to raise eyebrows continuously. Younger, Brighter Appearance: By lifting the lid platform and reducing hooding, the eyes appear more open and refreshed—yet retain their unique character.

INNOVATIONS Punctum-Sparing Canaliculotomy for Canaliculitis Functional Benefits Canaliculitis is a painful infection of the tear drainage system that can cause redness, discharge, and persistent irritation of the eye.

Rejuvenate the midface area with Dr. Mancini's specialized lifting techniques. Restore youthful contours and reduce nasolabial folds in Los Angeles. Midface Lift Midface rejuvenation typically centers around volume restoration and can be achieved with a combination of surgical and non-surgical approaches. BEFORE Midface Lift Dr. Mancini approaches midface rejuvenation on an individualized patient basis with goals typically revolving around volume restoration. This can involve surgical midface lifting through a hidden incision on the back surface of the lower eyelid often in combination with volume restoration via fat grafting. Non-surgical volume restoration with in-office fillers is also a consideration in some patients. Example : 43yo female before and after Cheek and Nasolabial Fold Filler and Botox Patient Summary At 43, this patient wanted to restore volume and smooth fine lines for a more youthful, refreshed look. She received cheek and nasolabial fold filler along with Botox to enhance facial contours and soften expression lines. The result is a natural rejuvenation that highlights her features while preserving her unique expression. BEFORE Volume deficient midface AFTER Smooth forehead and “crow’s feet” areas with elevated brow position from botox Improved midface volume with highlight higher on the cheek bone MIDFACE LIFT Functional & Aesthetic Benefits Lifts sagging cheeks and soft tissues that have descended with age Restores youthful midface volume without overfilling or distorting the natural contour Softens nasolabial folds (smile lines) and improves the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek Enhances facial balance and definition, particularly in the cheekbones and under-eye area Who Should Consider Midface Lift? A midface lift is ideal for patients who have experienced volume loss and descent of the cheek fat pads, often visible as a flattening of the cheeks, deepening of the smile lines, or an elongated lower eyelid. These changes can occur as early as the 40s and become more pronounced over time. This procedure may be recommended as a stand-alone treatment or combined with lower blepharoplasty for patients with a hollowed or tired appearance beneath the eyes. Ideal candidates are in good health, have realistic expectations, and seek to restore facial support without the use of excessive fillers or full-face lifting procedures. During consultation, Dr. Mancini carefully evaluates facial structure, skin elasticity, and soft tissue volume to determine whether a midface lift—or a customized combination approach—is most appropriate.
