Spanish term or phrase: No se conoce con exactitud cuando se realizó por primera vez una Ritidectomía
"No se conoce con exactitud cuando se realizó por primera vez una Ritidectomía, pero se destaca que los primeros intentos quirúrgicos para rejuvenecer el rostro datan de inicios del siglo XX (1-3)"

Es sobre todo el inicio, "no se conoce con exactitud" me vienen varias cosas a la cabeza, pero ninguna me resulta apropiada...

Muchas gracias de antemano!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Great! thank you all! I have to use rhytidectomy at this point. But the structure is perfect to me. Thank you again fro your great help! :)


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Cinnamon Nolan: Very succinct. Perhaps "the first rhytidectomy", depending on the register (plastic surgery journal...).

  -> Thanks, Cinnamon.
agree  Charles Davis: Excellent way of handling this, very natural and convincing. EN uses technical terms like this much less than SP. // Hadn't thought of that! Yes, if it's a professional text, then "rhytidectomy". But this structure is the way to go.

  -> Thanks, Charles. You're right, Spaniards love technical terms, although as Cinnamon says, it does depend on the audience.
