Dr. Rizk is an artist and, without overdramatizing, I must say he has changed my life. Also, to give credit where credit is due, while Dr.Rizk has the surgical skills, every person on his staff contributed to making my experience enormously positive. I thank them all.
It probably goes without saying that anyone who consults a cosmetic surgeon has genuine problems and/or self-image issues. I spent 66 years stoically and with cheerfulness being complimented on my ‘personality’ while it was generally acknowledged that I was ‘a bit odd-looking’. Certainly not your Classic Beauty!
During my initial consultation with Dr.Rizk, he made me feel I could be totally straightforward with him without being judged, I felt confident about asking him [as an expert] what he felt would accomplish my stated goal. Truly, all I wanted was “to look like everyone else”.
He gave me his opinion and we proceeded. Amazingly, despite multiple procedures undertaken on one day — yes, I was very nervous! — there was no pain, no distress. I’m not comfortable with anesthesia but my anesthesiologist called me the night before surgery and completely set me at ease.
My aftercare was thorough, caring and professional; I used nurses who work with Dr.Rizk. My recovery was much quicker than I’d anticipated and, again, pain-free.
I’ve waited until a full three month after surgery to write about my experience because I know that many patients like how they look with some post-surgical swelling. I wanted to see what I looked like ‘when everything calmed down’. And I can report that I’m completely delighted with my results. More than just looking average/attractive, my friends are reporting to me that people I hardly know are telling them I look “amazing” and “beautiful”.
So now I can greet each day forgetting about my looks, confident that I’m just fine, and then focus on other people and the business of the moment. Thank you, Dr. Rizk and your very kind staff!
