Rhytidectomy (Facelift)

The medical term for a facelift, a surgical procedure that tightens facial skin and underlying tissue to reduce visible signs of aging like sagging and wrinkles. Practices often use both terms in content since patients search for the everyday name far more often than the medical one. Example: A practice titles its blog post “Facelift (Rhytidectomy): What to Expect” so it captures searches from both patients using casual language and those who found the medical term through their doctor.
