I had a deep plane facelift by Dr Rizk 6 months ago. Healed great and look natural and like my younger self. Some deep stitches I feel that are still dissolving. He did not use a drain and that attracted me to his technique as he published extensively about that. I had had a bad experience with drains in my abdominoplasty. My swelling and bruising was less than I expected . I had no pain and did not use pain medicine except for first night because I had tightness. He is a gifted surgeon and artist.
