Rhytidectomies, commonly known as facelifts, are a popular cosmetic procedure aimed at reducing the signs of aging on the face and neck. There are several other terms used to describe this surgical procedure, including a facial rejuvenation, a facial lift, and a cervicofacial lift. Some synonyms for rhytidectomies may also include a midfacial lift, a lower face and neck lift, or a rhytidectomy and platysmaplasty. Essentially, any term that refers to the surgical lifting and tightening of the facial and neck tissues may be considered a synonym for rhytidectomies. Regardless of the terminology used, rhytidectomy procedures are designed to provide patients with a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
