Rebuild facial support from the skeleton up with Bryan Mendelson
The Mendelson facial rejuvenation course follows four complete operations combining tarsal fixation upper blepharoplasty, the limited dissection composite face lift, coronal brow lift with corrugator resection, superficial temporal lift, drill hole canthopexy, hydroxyapatite and coral granule skeletal augmentation and Lipogems lipoinfiltration, with anatomy explained at every surgical layer.

The programme
Preoperative goals & case planning
Every case begins with a review of the patient’s appearance, concerns and surgical objectives before any infiltration. Watching the reasoning first makes it clear why each combination of lifting, augmentation and fat transfer was selected.
Tarsal fixation blepharoplasty & brow surgery
Upper lids are treated with tarsal fixation, layered dissection and careful protection of neurovascular structures. Brow ptosis is addressed through coronal lifting with corrugator resection and fascia grafting, and outer brow bone projection is restored with augmentation.
Skeletal augmentation in the Mendelson facial rejuvenation course
Hydroxyapatite and coral granules are placed along the orbital rim, zygoma, maxilla, mandible and prejowl to replace lost bony support. Tunnelling, even granule distribution and risks such as periosteal tears or displacement are discussed in detail.
Composite face lift, neck & temporal lift
The limited dissection composite face lift is demonstrated with posterior platysma suspension, safe undermining within defined planes and access to the prezygomatic and premasseteric spaces. A superficial temporal lift and preservation of the buccal fat pad feature in later cases.
Lipogems fat processing & lipoinfiltration
Fat is harvested, cleaned and concentrated with the Lipogems system, then injected into the brows, perioral region, chin, jawline and lips. Dedicated technique collections let viewers study fat transfer separately from the full-length operations.
Secondary correction & layered closure
One patient receives drill hole canthopexy to correct lower lid malposition after earlier surgery, while others need revision of jawline laxity. Closure behind the earlobe, tension distribution and the suture removal schedule are covered before short outcome reviews.
Who it’s for
- Facial plastic surgeons study composite lifting and skeletal augmentation as a combined strategy
- Oculoplastic surgeons observe tarsal fixation blepharoplasty and drill hole canthopexy in context
- Surgeons managing secondary cases see how earlier complications are corrected anatomically
- Fat-grafting practitioners compare Lipogems processing with their own harvesting protocol
The consult
How is the material organised?
The library is built around four full-length surgical cases, divided into 26 titled segments, plus collections that isolate hydroxyapatite augmentation and Lipogems lipoinfiltration for focused review.
Does it show complete operations or just highlights?
Procedures are shown from local anaesthetic infiltration through closure, with Dr. Mendelson explaining the approach, rationale and anatomical landmarks as he works.
Are bone and coral substitutes discussed critically?
Yes. The commentary addresses granule placement technique and specific risks such as periosteal tearing and displacement, not only the intended volumetric effect.
Is this suitable for surgeons new to facelifting?
It is best suited to surgeons with a working knowledge of facial anatomy and lifting. The recordings support learning but do not replace supervised surgical training.
Can I watch the cases right away?
Yes. The full library is ready to stream as soon as the order is paid, and it stays available indefinitely.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Derma Academy provides the course files only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included.
