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. What Patients Ask About Midface Lift What is a midface lift? A midface lift repositions the cheek tissues to restore volume and support beneath the eyes. How is a midface lift different from a facelift? A midface lift specifically targets the cheeks and lower eyelid region, while a facelift focuses on the lower face and neck. What concerns does a midface lift address? Cheek descent, under-eye hollowness, deep nasolabial folds, and loss of facial volume. Will a midface lift make me look unnatural? No. The goal is to restore youthful facial proportions while maintaining natural expression. Can a midface lift be combined with lower blepharoplasty? Yes. These procedures are often performed together. How long do results last? Results are typically long-lasting and age gracefully over time. Is a midface lift better than fillers? The answer depends on anatomy and goals. Some patients benefit from fillers, while others achieve better results with surgical repositioning. What is recovery like? Most patients experience swelling and bruising for 1-2 weeks, with continued improvement thereafter. Why Choose Dr. Mancini? With dual board‑certification in ophthalmology and oculoplastic surgery, Dr. Mancini brings refined surgical expertise and an aesthetic sensibility to upper‑eyelid rejuvenation. Serving Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and Shanghai, his practice combines advanced techniques, global experience, and a commitment to natural‑looking, sustainable results. REQUEST TO BOOK What Patients Ask About Brow Lift What is a brow lift? A brow lift elevates the position of the eyebrows to restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance. How do I know if I need a brow lift or blepharoplasty? Many patients have both brow descent and eyelid skin excess. Dr. Mancini evaluates both structures to determine the best treatment plan. Will a brow lift make me look surprised? No. Modern brow lift techniques focus on restoring natural brow position rather than over-elevating the brows. Can a brow lift improve forehead wrinkles? Yes. Brow lift surgery may improve forehead lines and frown lines while repositioning the brows. Is a brow lift permanent? Results are long-lasting, though natural aging continues. Can a brow lift be combined with eyelid surgery? Yes. Brow lift and blepharoplasty are frequently performed together. How long is recovery? Most patients return to social activities within 1-2 weeks. What age is appropriate for a brow lift? Candidates vary widely, but many patients seek treatment in their 40s, 50s, and 60s.

Reduce under-eye bags and rejuvenate your appearance with lower blepharoplasty by board-certified oculoplastic surgeon Dr. Ronald Mancini, MD, FACS. Lower Blepharoplasty Surgery involves rejuvenation of the lower eyelid and cheek region often involving a combination of fat sculpting and repositioning and excess skin removal and/or resurfacing. BEFORE Lower Blepharoplasty Dr. Mancini approaches lower blepharoplasty on an individualized patient basis. Fat sculpting and repositioning are performed with a small hidden incision on the back surface of the eyelid and is often combined with small amounts of skin removal with a small incision camouflaged below the lower eyelid lash line. Resurfacing of the thin eyelid skin with laser or chemical peeling can be performed simultaneously if needed to improve the skin quality. Example : 44yo female before and after lower blepharoplasty with fat transposition LOWER BLEPHORAPLASTY Functional & Aesthetic Benefits Smoother, firmer under-eye contours Reduction in puffiness and "bags" Improved transition between lower eyelid and midface A more rested, youthful appearance Who Should Consider Lower Blepharoplasty? Lower blepharoplasty may be appropriate for individuals who experience under-eye puffiness, hollowing, or loose skin that contributes to a fatigued or aged appearance. Many patients seek this procedure when non-surgical treatments fail to address persistent under-eye bags or deep tear troughs. While it is most commonly performed in patients in their 40s and beyond, younger individuals with hereditary fat herniation or volume loss can also benefit. Ideal candidates are in good general health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of surgery. During consultation, Dr. Mancini carefully evaluates each patient’s anatomy, lifestyle, and goals to determine whether lower blepharoplasty is the most appropriate treatment option. Patient Summary At 44, this patient wanted to address under-eye hollowness and tired-looking eyes. She underwent lower blepharoplasty with fat transposition to smooth and restore volume to the under-eye area, creating a more refreshed and youthful appearance. The results enhance her natural features while maintaining her unique expression. What Patients Ask About Lower Blepharoplasty What causes under-eye bags? Under-eye bags are typically caused by herniated fat, skin laxity, volume loss, and age-related changes in facial support structures. Does lower blepharoplasty remove wrinkles? Lower blepharoplasty can improve some fine lines and skin laxity, but additional treatments such as chemical peels or laser resurfacing may be recommended for optimal skin texture improvement. How long does lower blepharoplasty recovery take? Most patients can resume normal activities within 1-2 weeks, with swelling gradually improving over several weeks. Will lower blepharoplasty make me look different? The goal is not to change your appearance but to restore a more rested, refreshed look while maintaining natural facial expression. Can lower blepharoplasty help tear troughs? In many cases, Dr. Mancini uses fat repositioning techniques to soften the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek. Is lower blepharoplasty permanent? While the aging process continues, results are long-lasting and often remain noticeable for many years. What is fat transposition? Fat transposition involves repositioning existing eyelid fat to restore volume and smooth hollows beneath the eyes. Can lower blepharoplasty be performed without visible incisions? Yes. Many patients are candidates for transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty, which places incisions inside the eyelid. Why Choose Dr. Mancini? With dual board‑certification in ophthalmology and oculoplastic surgery, Dr. Mancini brings refined surgical expertise and an aesthetic sensibility to upper‑eyelid rejuvenation.

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.

Patients with excess upper eyelid skin, eyelid heaviness, or visual obstruction caused by drooping skin may be good candidates for upper blepharoplasty. A consultation with Dr. Mancini can determine the most appropriate treatment plan. Does upper blepharoplasty improve vision? Yes. When excess upper eyelid skin obstructs the visual field, upper blepharoplasty can improve peripheral vision while also enhancing appearance. How long does upper blepharoplasty surgery take? Most upper blepharoplasty procedures take approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the complexity of the case. Is upper blepharoplasty painful? Patients typically experience minimal discomfort. Most report mild soreness or tightness during the first few days of recovery. How long is recovery after upper blepharoplasty? Most patients return to normal activities within 7-10 days. Swelling and bruising continue to improve over several weeks. Will I have visible scars? Incisions are carefully placed within the natural eyelid crease and typically heal extremely well. How long do results last? Results often last 10 years or longer, though the natural aging process continues. Can upper blepharoplasty be combined with other procedures? Yes. It is commonly combined with ptosis repair or brow lift surgery to achieve optimal functional and aesthetic results. Why Choose Dr. Mancini? With dual board‑certification in ophthalmology and oculoplastic surgery, Dr. Mancini brings refined surgical expertise and an aesthetic sensibility to upper‑eyelid rejuvenation. Serving Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and Shanghai, his practice combines advanced techniques, global experience, and a commitment to natural‑looking, sustainable results. REQUEST TO BOOK Who Should Consider Upper Blepharoplasty? Upper blepharoplasty may be appropriate for individuals who experience persistent heaviness or sagging of the upper eyelids, often leading to visual fatigue or difficulty with peripheral vision. Patients who find themselves raising their eyebrows to see more clearly or who feel that their eyelids make them appear tired or older than they feel may benefit from this procedure. Ideal candidates are generally in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of surgery.
