Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
After her appearances in Dynasty, the First Rani referred to the Seventh Doctor as "Face lift No. 7", using the term as a synonym for incarnation. The Doctor claimed to accept her new demands for group therapy, more make-up and a hair stylist after she appeared in the series but couldn't stand her usage of this term above all. However, these events took place in a story which this wiki does not consider to be a valid source.
In the real world, a "face lift" is a colloquium used by humans to describe a hytidectomy, which is cosmetic surgery to lift up and pull back the skin to make the face tighter and smoother.
