Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Manolis Manolakakis, D

Sourced directly from Dr. Manolis Manolakakis, D's social posts and replies.

What factors determine readiness for a facelift?
Readiness for a facelift involves factors beyond just age. The best facelift results start with the patient having the right expectations, a thoughtful surgical plan, and choosing the right time in one's life to commit to recovery.
Source →
What can patients expect during the recovery process for comprehensive facial rejuvenation?
The initial healing journey after comprehensive facial rejuvenation (which can include procedures like endoscopic brow lift, upper blepharoplasty with ptosis repair, deep plane face and neck lift, and CO2 laser resurfacing) involves stages such as 1 day, 10 days, and 2 weeks post-operation. At 6 weeks post-op, swelling continues to improve and incisions are healing nicely, with results expected to continue refining over several months. Swelling, bruising, and the general healing process are integral to achieving the final surgical result. Patients should trust the process, as refreshed contours, brighter eyes, and rejuvenated skin gradually emerge with each passing day. Beautiful results are not achieved overnight, but they are considered worth the wait.
Source →
What is Dr. Manolakakis's philosophy on aesthetic treatment planning?
Dr. Manolakakis believes one of the biggest misconceptions in aesthetics is that 'more is always better' (e.g., more filler, more lasers, more skincare). Instead, he advocates for a thoughtful, long-term strategy that combines the right mix of skincare, injectables, energy-based treatments, and, when appropriate, surgery. The goal is to have a comprehensive plan rather than chasing individual treatments, as this synergistic approach often achieves better outcomes with less intervention.
Source →
Can facial cosmetic surgery be performed in the summer, and what determines the best timing?
Yes, facial cosmetic surgery can absolutely be performed in the summer; the season itself is not a dealbreaker. The best time for surgery is determined by a patient's ability to commit to the healing process, rather than a specific calendar date. Regardless of the season, planning for recovery, diligent sun protection, and strictly following post-op instructions are crucial to protect and optimize surgical results.
Source →
What are the benefits and recovery expectations for Upper Blepharoplasty and Direct Brow Lift?
Dr. Manolakakis performs Upper Blepharoplasty and Direct Brow Lift to rejuvenate the upper face, restore a more alert appearance, and provide a refreshed, more youthful look. Recovery from these procedures is typically minimal, and incisions can be easily concealed with sunglasses during healing. Summer is considered an ideal time for these procedures due to the minimal downtime.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$67

Payments

2

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Manolis Manolakakis, D received $67 across 2 payments in 2025. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Stryker Corporation.

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
