Definitely not recommended - left me with unsightly pleats and folds

I had a "scarless" facelift and necklift with Dr. Marc Mani that left me with unsightly pleats, folds, and disfigured sections of my face and neck. I was told these things were "normal" and would take time to resolve and heal on their own. After many months of attempting to be patient, and going through severe mental and physical anguish, I consulted with other surgeons who were appalled by what they saw. Thankfully, one of those surgeons performed a revision on me, and did a fantastic job. He basically saved my life, truly. Do not fall for this "scarless" technique that Mani is marketing. Don't make the same mistake that I did. I've come to find out that endoscopic facelifts have been around for decades, and the reason why surgeons don't do it is because it functionally does not work. Find proven surgeons with excellent technique, a strong portfolio of great results, and a surgeons with a flawless track record of reviews. If you read even one or two negative reviews on a surgeon, seriously think twice. And don't fall for the surgeons that have the most followers on Instagram! I hope this review helps even one person to avoid what I went through.

Thank you for sharing your experience and helping to raise awareness. It’s unfortunate that he left you with such bad results. If possible, would you be comfortable sharing anonymized photos of the folds? It could be helpful for others considering him. It’s truly surprising how different his social media persona is compared to what real reviews reveal—it serves as a reminder that IG often doesn't reflect reality. Thanks again and happy you found peace with another surgeon.

I had the same experience. I look horrible. Can you please share who you went to after to fix it. I am in the same situation. It is horrible and I am in anguish. I don't know what to do or where to go.
