October 27th, 2010
Featured in a recent edition of the Wall Street Journal, Expert New York Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Sam Rizk is among a short list of who to choose and what questions to ask when searching for a facial plastic surgeon to achieve a natural-looking, safe, and long lasting face-lift. In the article, Dr. Rizk suggests checking before and after photos of the prospective surgeon, saying “You’re looking to see what their idea of beauty is. See, you can end up at a technically expert surgeon and be disappointed, if your version of beauty is different than his.” Dr. Rizk also asks “How do you intend to get a natural-looking result?” and answers that “you are looking for a surgeon who tells you specifically, that he is doing a lift of both the skin and underlying muscle – which takes extra skill and training, but generally creates a face-lift that lasts longer and avoids the bad face-lift/wind-tunnel appearance.”
