Dr. Dilger's Surgical Approach

Dr. Amanda E.

Dr. Amanda E. Dilger approaches the deep plane facelift with a focus on comprehensive facial rejuvenation and natural-looking results. Her technique involves a meticulous understanding of facial anatomy to address the underlying causes of facial aging. This method aims to provide more durable and impactful improvements compared to traditional skin-only lifts.

Her deep plane facelift technique involves sub-SMAS dissection, meaning she works beneath the SMAS layer (superficial musculoaponeurotic system). This deeper plane allows for the repositioning of muscles and fat pads, not just the skin, which contributes to a more natural lift and avoids a stretched appearance.
