I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Mani. I'm almost 2 years post op from a rhinoplasty/septoplasty. This procedure genuinely changed my life - Dr. Mani has such an incredible eye and I still feel very much like myself, just with my features more balanced and harmonious. I'm half Persian, and I'm always nervous trusting anyone because I have a little bit of ethnic ambiguity and people who aren't highly trained often miss that. Dr. Mani recognized it right away and was super transparent with how to keep my results looking natural. People are always shocked when I tell them I've had a rhinoplasty. The recovery was mentally difficult and much longer than I expected, but 100% worth it. On top of it, I used to have mild sleep apnea and I noticed right after my surgery I was able to sleep the whole night with my mouth closed and my anxiety drastically improved just by being able to breathe slowly and deeply throughout the day. I would say I'm very picky with who I let touch my body/face and Dr. Mani is now someone I fully trust and encourage my friends and family to go to him.
I have been a patient of Dr. Mani for over ten years, and during that time, he has consistently provided exceptional care. From my very first appointment, it was clear that Dr. Mani is not only a leader in his field but also someone who genuinely cares about his patients’ well-being. His knowledge, professionalism, and attention to detail have always given me complete confidence in the treatments I receive. Dr. Mani takes the time to truly listen and ensures that I fully understand my concerns and treatment options. He is thorough, compassionate, and always makes me feel comfortable asking questions. His ability to combine expert medical guidance with a personal, patient-centered approach is what truly sets him apart. Throughout the years, I have had stem cell transfers, facial fat transfers, a neck liposuction, and other various in-office maintenance procedures as we all need upkeep. Dr. Mani and his team have always guided me correctly on when I need to do these, and I feel like I am a part of their family. Over the past decade, I have come to trust Dr. Mani implicitly. He and his team consistently goes above and beyond to provide the highest level of service, and his dedication has made a positive lasting impact. I am incredibly grateful for his care and cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and talented doctor with the best team in Los Angeles, head over to see Dr. Mani.
Instead of writing a few generic praising words, I’ve decided to write something from my heart and to share my story with anyone who is currently looking for a plastic surgeon. People decide to get plastic surgery for various reasons. To me, it was a life-saving approach. Back in 2022, I discovered that my partner of many years was unfaithful. It broke my heart. The betrayal almost killed me. I couldn’t forgive him and left. At that point my self-esteem was at the rock bottom: I was 40, a newly single mom and felt broken. I gained 20 pounds and didn’t want to wake up in the morning. I needed to feel good about myself again and to regain my self-love, confidence and the desire to live. Getting a younger face was a symbolic gesture for me: as if I were starting a new life. That’s how I ended up getting a face lift at the age of 40. After meeting several doctors here in LA and one in NY, my top choice was Dr. Mani for the following reasons: -He is kind. -He listens. -He is calm. When I met him in 2022, I was on several antidepressants, struggling with severe anxiety, OCD and panic attacks. His calm demeanor always makes me calmer. Being around him is good for my mental health because no matter how anxious I come into his office he always listens calmy, attentively and respectfully. -He promised the facelift would be scarless because I was only 40 and didn’t have a lot of loose skin. He also explained that if I ever decide to have another face lift later in life, it could also be scarless! Having no visible scars was important for me because I don’t wear make-up in daily life. -I felt Dr. Mani and I were on the same page with my end goals: to look as natural as possible. I told him right away: “I don’t want to look different or prettier. I just want to look like a younger self.” He said these were the results he always aims for. I am now exactly at two years post op (the surgery was in April 2023). My face looks like I am in my 20s. There are no visible scars (there are scars behind my ears, but no one could see these). There are also scars hidden on my scalp, but these are completely covered by hair. So, he promised a scarless face lift and he delivered it. When I go out with my daughter who is a teenager now, strangers think I am her nanny! I am often told: “You look too young to have kids”. After losing 25 pounds, I am now in the best shape of my life. I slowly cut out the antidepressants. I love my life and work out daily. I eat healthy. I got a new hobby and discovered a talent for painting. I now wake up every morning with a smile. Getting the face lift was a huge investment (I spent most of my savings), but it worked by bringing my self-love back to me, so it was worth it. To look in the mirror and love what you see is priceless. Most importantly, I feel at peace and ready to love again. I just had a two-year post op follow up with Dr. Mani: he performed his signature MIST on me as well as an upper eyelid surgery which we didn’t do two years ago. The recovery was painless and fast. I went on vacation a week after the surgery and none of my friends could tell I had an eyelid surgery done a week earlier! That’s how great and virtually invisible his scars are. I see the results from dr. Mani’s signature MIST too: the skin is glowing and smooth. Lastly, it is important to give a credit to his incredible team who feels like family to me. His nurses Molly and Karen are the most kind, patient, sweet and caring I have ever met in my life. His office manager Reid is always on top of things, highly organized and super intelligent. I love talking to him about everything, not just the plastic surgery related things. Reid is a great example of a top manager and Dr. Mani is extremely lucky to have him. Lastly, Andrea at the front desk is the sweetest and most carrying young lady. Love them all so very much! I sincerely recommend you getting a consultation and meeting Dr. Mani and his team if you consider anything done. It is important to meet as many doctors as possible to make a decision that is right for you. To me, they were my choice, and I haven’t regretted it. Wishing everyone great health, love and happiness!
In my late 20s/early 30s I worked as an esthetician in a med spa.. I had free access to all things non invasive and non surgical (mostly heat based tightening treatments, lasers and fillers). At the time, I thought the results were great, but looking back, I was probably just lucky I was still young enough to get away with how aggressive these treatments were. A few years into this way of "antiaging" I started noticing less than desirable changes: melasma from the lasers, volume loss from the thermal tightening, and a disproportionate face from fillers. I didn't know what to do or even who to ask for help since it seemed every other practitioner wanted to address the volume loss with more fillers and melasma with more lasers or peels. So for many years I didn't do anything. I had a strong distrust for the industry of beauty and felt I had completely ruined my face and skin when I was still supposed to be in my prime. That's when I stumbled upon Dr manis instagram. He was talking about stem cells to rejuvenate skin and I thought omg yes, this makes sense at a cellular level and actually might be the ONLY thing I would trust to try. Fast forward a few years later, I finally did the mani MIST procedure (stem cell treatment) and the results are undeniable. I'm at month 10 and it is still improving... there aren't any treatments that I know of (or would trust) that have these kind of results. He also dissolved my fillers and replaced with my own fat! I was incredibly nervous because I hated the disproportions the fillers had given me, but the fat is so much more seamless and natural that I'm actually considering adding a few more areas. No one has noticed I have done anything, but I told my mom I was doing these procedures and she's in aw of what it has done for my appearance, especially my skin (and she doesn't believe in any of the cosmetic treatments - not even Botox). This treatment is not cheap, but if you consider the amount of lasers, peels, or fillers that I haven't/wont be needing, I'd say it's a bargain. This review is getting long so I'll be short on this part - but I have to say how much I love Dr mani and his entire team!! At every follow up I saw Dr Mani, which ive read is not always the case. I felt he truly cared about my results and seeing how his work was evolving. Super important to me! I got the feeling he genuinely wants his treatments to make improvements for his patients. He also was personable and never made me feel rushed.. for how talented he is, I never felt intimidated to ask questions... and I had a lot of questions since I was so distrusting of these type of things. And his staff is incredible.. again, all so genuine and caring. Overall such an incredible experience. I will be back for any cosmetic needs! Updated on 6 Apr 2025:
I recently had the privilege of undergoing a series of rejuvenating procedures with Dr. Marc Mani, and I cannot express enough how thrilled I am with the results! Dr. Mani is an absolute master of his craft, a brilliant surgeon who combines technical expertise with an artistic touch. I had an endoscopic brow lift, neck lift, deep plane facelift, and a MIST procedure, and the results are nothing short of miraculous. I look decades younger, yet no one can tell I’ve had anything done. It’s as if time has turned back, but with a natural, refreshed appearance that maintains my authentic look. Dr. Mani’s meticulous approach and attention to detail ensured that I felt both comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. Moreover, Dr. Mani’s staff is exceptional—so kind, caring, and genuinely accommodating. They made every visit a pleasant experience, from the consultation to post-operative care. I felt fully supported every step of the way, and their professionalism was truly comforting. I highly recommend Dr. Marc Mani to anyone seeking top-tier cosmetic surgery. His skills are unparalleled, and his ability to create such stunning, natural results is a testament to his expertise and passion for his work. Thank you, Dr. Mani, for helping me look and feel my best!
Dr. Mani is a very experienced surgeon and brings artistry to his craft. The result is very natural looking especially given the amount of work he did (TCF lift, eyebrow lift, lower bleph, fat transfer to lips, MIST skin treatment). My recovery has been slow with his team helping me through the process. Everyone from Reid to Karen to Molly and even Andrea at the front desk were wonderful and helped me every step of the way. Shout out to Marcus and Mark from the surgery center too. Dr. Mani has surrounded himself with a fantastic team.
I have been a patient of Dr. Mani's for almost 4 years, and I can't express enough how wonderful and talented he is as a surgeon. His team/office is also exceptional, and they all make you feel like family. Dr. Mani is also quite pragmatic, and his aesthetic is natural. Over the years I have had several procedures, and started off with Stem Cell Transfer and Fat grafting, followed by upper eyelids. Just this past year he completed my Facelift and Necklift, and I couldn't be happier. I look natural, there is no trace of a scar, and he was compassionate from the moment I met him to this present day. If you are looking for a talented surgeon and exceptional team, Dr. Mani is the one.
After being referred by multiple friends and meeting Dr. Mani, it became very evident that he was the best choice to do my rhinoplasty. As a darker skinned individual prone to keloids, it was very important to find a surgeon who was the best at a closed (scarless) rhinoplasty. Him and his team have done an incredible job of listening to and understanding my questions, thoughts, and concerns throughout the entire process. Post operative they have been incredible in assisting to achieve proper recovery and the desired outcome. Dr. Mani has a phenomenal understanding of the entire body and how different parts blend together to create a proportional and authentic look.
I cannot say enough incredible things about Dr. Marc Mani and his team. I’ve had several procedures done by him, and every single one has been nothing short of extraordinary. Dr. Mani is a true artist—his work is incredibly natural, elegant, and refined. The results are so seamlessly beautiful that they enhance your features in the most effortless way. I genuinely trust him completely because he approaches every procedure with integrity, honesty, and a commitment to doing only what he truly believes in. One of the things I appreciate most is that he will never do something just for the sake of it—he is thoughtful, meticulous, and always upfront about what will look best and what won’t. His skill is matched by his gentle approach, making the entire process smooth and the healing incredibly fast every time. Beyond Dr. Mani’s talent, his team is absolutely amazing. They are warm, funny, and incredibly kind, making you feel relaxed, safe, and genuinely happy from the moment you walk in. I was nervous before my first procedure, but they immediately put me at ease with their personable and caring energy. They don’t just treat you like a patient—they make you feel like family. What makes this experience even more special is that Dr. Mani’s office isn’t just about the procedures they offer—it’s almost like a full beauty and wellness concierge. They know the best people in every area of the industry, from skincare to the most advanced beauty treatments, and they are always happy to connect you with the top experts using the latest, most effective technologies that actually work. If you’re looking for a complete beauty glow-up, this is the place to be. If you’re considering any treatment, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Mani. His skill, honesty, and artistry, combined with the warmth of his team, make this an unmatched experience. You will be in the very best hands!
Dr. Mani is an extraordinary surgeon and a wonderfully empathic doctor. He and his amazing staff made the entire facial plastic journey seamless and I am thrilled with the results. He is a perfectionist who is not satisfied until the outcome is exactly as he envisioned. From the first consultation to all the post op check ups I always felt looked after and pampered. i would recommend Dr. Mani without reservation. Mitch C
