In 1978, Dr. Dedo published an article on the classification of the neck. From his basic anatomy research, he formulated a classification of the neck that would allow the facial plastic surgeon to tailor the facelift operation to the specific needs and pathology of the patient. Just as one would not perform the same rhinoplasty on every nose, similarly one would not perform the same facelift operation on every patient. Because of this work, Dr. Dedo expertise and knowledge makes him one of the most highly sought out plastic surgeons in the U.S. and makes him well respected among his peers and patients.

One of Dr. Dedo's proudest moments was when was when he was elected by his peers as President of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery.
