Dr. Rizk is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who specializes in rapid recovery facelift/necklift, blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, and endoscopic browlift. His expertise is requested by patients from around the globe - England, Italy, Austria, South Africa, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and various countries in Asia and South America as well as many states in the United States. Dr. Rizk is fluent in both English and Arabic.

Dr. Rizk has many patients that fly-in to New York from other countries for surgery. He has developed a safe and easy system for you to follow.

1. First, you contact his office manager, Dila, by either email or phone regarding your requested procedures.
2. Send us your front and profile pictures and if thinking of rhinoplasty a base view of the nose and if thinking of a facelift a profile view looking down as well.
3. Dr. Rizk will review your pictures and make a determination of what would look good on you. He may or may not agree with all your requests depending on facial balance and harmony. Dr. Rizk's goals are natural looking faces with definition and beauty. By looking at his website photo gallery and videos, you can get a sense of his artistic views.
4. You can then arrange a phone consultation with Dr. Rizk and once you have both agreed on what would be the best plan, you can then contact the office manager for a quote.
5. All surgery is outpatient and done in our Certified Park Avenue Facial Surgery Center.
6. You will typically go back to your hotel room after adequate time of observation in our center. You will have private duty plastic surgery nurses available for you who can stay with you in a nearby hotel. They are required by Dr. Rizk for at least 12 hours after facelift surgery, but not typically needed after rhinoplasty surgery. Your safety is our number one priority. You will be discharged from our facility only after you have been completely stabilized and have meet US standards for discharge from outpatient surgery.
7. You will be helped in making hotel arrangements, if you need, by our office staff and concierge.
8. You need to arrive to New York 1-2 days before your surgery date, during which you will have an in-depth consultation with Dr. Rizk and your photos will be taken. You will generally be required to stay in New York for 1 week after surgery to recover and have your splint removed after rhinoplasty and stitches removed after facelift surgery. Sometimes facelift patients may need to stay up to 10 days.
9. Typically, medical clearance is required in your country and usually includes at least blood work below age 40 and blood work and EKG (electrocardiogram) above age 40. This is required by our JCAHO certified surgical facility which meets the highest standards in outpatient plastic surgery. This is done prior to your surgery and is either faxed or emailed to us.
10. You can only book a surgery date by paying a non-refundable 20 percent deposit. Once a surgery date is booked, you will be emailed before and after surgery instructions for your procedures.
11. Dr. Rizk is also available for phone consultations for $250 but these have to be scheduled in advance and can only be done if pictures have been sent and reviewed.

Dr. Rizk offers his patients VIP concierge services with direct access to the owner of NYC Concierge for any services they may require to make their stay in New York a pleasant one. Dr. Rizk will answer any questions prior to your trip to New York and the day before surgery. Dr. Rizk will meet with you to review your procedure, meeting you, if needed, even after office hours and on weekends. Dr. Rizk will also visit your hotel room after surgery to ensure your procedure’s success and monitor the healing progress.

We encourage you to contact our office manager, Dila, by phone at (1)-212-452-3362 or e-mail Dila1040@yahoo.com with any questions you may have. Dila will also make arrangements to accommodate your schedule and arrange your stay with the best and most convenient hotels in the area.
