	Rhytidectomy: The Basics
		The 1990’s saw the development of the deep-plane and composite rhytidectomies described by Hamra, and these alternatives may be adjuncts or may surpass the SMAS lift as the standard operation to which others are compared.
		The composite rhytidectomy is similar to the deep plane rhytidectomy with the exception that included in the flap is the lower orbicularis muscle.
		In conclusion, rhytidectomy is an elective cosmetic procedure which, when performed correctly, is an important component of facial rejuvenation.

	eMedicine - Rhytidectomy, Deep Plane Facelift : Article by Jefferson K Kilpatrick, MD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Rhytidectomy (facelift) is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures in the head and neck.
		Problem: Traditional facelift techniques, such as SMAS imbrication or plication rhytidectomy, may adequately treat changes in the lower face caused by aging, such as jowling of the lower face or platysmal banding in the neck; however, these techniques do not adequately address aging changes due to ptosis of midfacial structures and a deep melolabial fold.
		Candidates for a deep plane rhytidectomy should have significant facial changes caused by aging in the region of the mid face and melolabial fold.

	Rhytidectomy or Face/Neck Lift
		OR Face Lifting or Rhytidectomy has been popular since the late 1800's.
		Rhytidectomy is designed to improve the appearance of the lower two thirds of the face and the neck area by tightening skin, which has lost its elasticity with age, fat loss and sun damage.
		In addition, the modern facelift tightens the foundation of the face called the SMAS, which represents the second layer of the face that envelops the muscles of facial expression.

	Face-Lifting: An Overview
		A skin only face-lift was the earliest form of surgical rhytidectomy, but failed to achieve significant long-term benefit.
		While SMAS modification remedies many of the problems with the skin-only rhytidectomy, some surgeons felt that key elements of the aging face were inadequately corrected.
		Concern with the ability to adequately reposition the nasolabial fold and elevate the midface led to further surgical modifications.

		By removing excess skin and fat from the face and/or neck, the procedure reduces or eliminates many wrinkles, giving patients a younger, rejuvenated appearance.
		The word “rhytidectomy” derives from the Greek “rhytis,” meaning wrinkle, and “ektome,” which means excision: excision of skin to remove wrinkles.
