PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT:
Dr. Rizk's philosophy is a customized facelift and necklift with jawline and cheek definition. Dr. Rizk does many different types of facelift and necklift surgery and customizes the lift to your face and degree of aging. One lift does not fit all patients and Dr. Rizk does not have a "signature procedure" because each face is different.
Dr. Rizk's philosophy in his lifts is a natural lift which avoids the "pulled" look of older skin lifts. He also does a facelift which not only makes a patient look YOUNGER, but also MORE ATTRACTIVE. This is an important concept because Dr. Rizk's facelifts also reposition volume from the jowls into the cheeks. He lifts in the deeper layers which encompass not only skin and muscle, but ALSO jowl FAT. This repositioning of volume is important because it creates definition, rather than just "tightness" and it looks more natural. The loose muscles in the neck are pulled and tightened behind the ears and also in the middle under the chin from a small incision under the chin.
Dr. Rizk also pioneered the use of 3-Dimentional high definition telescope systems to visualize the face better in the deeper planes, making it a much safer procedure which avoids blood vessels and other structures. With this 3D telescope technology, the scars are smaller and the recuperation is faster because the surgery becomes very precise. Rapid recovery is just as important for Dr. Rizk's New York City Park Avenue practice as is a natural and long-lasting result.

| Patient is 33 yo Latino male who wanted better balance between his nose and chin and underwent rhinoplasty to remove the nasal bump and chin implant, neck liposuction, and necklift to define and project his chin more. Dr. Rizk does a special muscle tuck under the chin with 3d telescopes to achieve a better result than with just liposuction. This neck procedure is done only from a small incision under the chin and does not involve incisions around the ears. | |

| 47 year old male who was very unhappy with shape of his nose and chin. Patient was mainly concerned about the worsening collapse on the right side of his nose and wanted some subtle improvement in his chin. Patient also had a deviated nose and difficulty breathing secondary to a deviated nasal septum. Patient underwent septorhinoplasty and chin implant and is shown after the surgery where multiple smoothly sculpted grafts were used to even out his tip and rotate his nose slightly. Subtle bump removal was also performed. The cartilage grafts were harvested from his nasal septum. | |
