Dr. Sunder's Surgical Approach
Dr. Sarmela Sunder approaches the deep plane facelift as an anatomical procedure that works beneath the skin rather than on its surface.
Dr. Sarmela Sunder approaches the deep plane facelift as an anatomical procedure that works beneath the skin rather than on its surface. The technique targets the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system — a supportive layer of tissue and muscle that gives the face its structure).
In a deep plane facelift, the surgeon releases and repositions this deeper layer as a single unit. Dr. Sunder's method involves sub-SMAS dissection, meaning she works below that structural layer to lift the tissues together with the overlying skin.
