Confront and raise surgical procedure (8)
I believe the answer is:
facelift
'surgical procedure' is the definition.
(I know that facelift is a type of anaplasty)
'confront and raise' is the wordplay.
'confront' becomes 'face' (synonyms).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'raise' becomes 'lift' (synonyms).
'face'+'lift'='FACELIFT'
(Other definitions for facelift that I've seen before include "Improved appearance" , "plastic surgery" , "Cosmetic surgery" , "surgical treatment" , "Renovation" .)
