Cosmetic plastic surgery of the face can “turn back time” by reducing the appearance of wrinkles and lines, sun damage and sagging skin that can make you look angry, sad or tired.
Facelift
(Rhytidectomy)
Dr. Rizk performs many different types of facelifts and customizes the lift for each patient to achieve a natural, long lasting result with the most rapid recovery. As we age, muscles become loose and drop underneath the skin. Dr. Rizk's Lift differs because it addresses the deeper tissue by going under the muscle sliding it backwards into its original youthful position. This technique results in less bruising and swelling since he lifts deeper beneath the muscle. Skin scars heal better because there is no tension on superficial layers and skin. Once the deeper tissue is lifted, the excess skin is trimmed.
The facelift results in a natural, softer look and creates definition along the jawline and neck, without tightness. Dr. Rizk takes special care to hide scars inside the ear which allows wearing hair up after surgery with no visible scarring. Most patients are able to resume their normal routines within 7-10 days after surgery. Dr. Rizk also performs other types of shorter lifts for younger patients with lesser degrees of aging.
Dr. Rizk's "Rapid Recovery Neck Lift,"
featured on Fox 5,
incorporates the use of the Endotine Ribbon
and tissue glues which results in a rapid recovery and creates a more natural lift with longer lasting results. Dr. Rizk was the first surgeon to use this ribbon device in the deep plane facelift and neck lift, and he incorporates the use of tissue glues to expedite the healing process and decrease bruising and swelling. In addition, Dr. Rizk incorporates use of various vitamins and herbal supplements to expedite recovery.
The key to Dr. Rizk's facelift surgery is best expressed by former Miss California, Francine Newton, who stated in a
New York Times featured article, "No one knows I had a facelift - I had to tell them. My friends have never seen anything like what he's done for me."
