Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty)
One of Dr. Rizk's specialties is Rhinoplasty, a plastic surgery procedure performed to reshape, reduce or augment a person’s nose. Dr. Rizk can remove a hump, narrow nostril width, change the angle between the nose and the mouth, as well as correct injuries, birth defects, or other problems that affect breathing. Rhinoplasty is usually an outpatient procedure performed under either local or general anesthesia and lasts one to two hours.
Dr, Rizk employs both the advanced open (external) and closed (endonasal) surgical techniques to naturally sculpt the nose with a rapid recovery. Dr. Rizk uses innovated suture reshaping techniques for cartilage sculpting rather than removal. Dr Rizk is well known for his revision rhinoplasty method which restores the patients’ ability to breathe in addition to improving nasal appearance by rebuilding previously removed cartilage or bone. Additionally, patients with breathing or sinus problems can combine functional repair with an aesthetic result. Dr. Rizk’s innovative techniques employing this combined approach were published in Annals of Plastic Surgery (1997). Typical recovery time is 5-7 days with minimal or no bruising and virtually no discomfort. Dr. Rizk is a regularly scheduled lecturer and panelist for rhinoplasty worldwide.
The attention to details and his focus on achieving natural looking results while using the latest surgical techniques was recognized by Tatler magazine, which featured him recently as one of the world's top rhinoplasty surgeons.
