This 44-year-old patient traveled from out of town to consult with Dr. Sam Rizk in New York, seeking a comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Her goal was to achieve a refreshed, natural appearance without looking overdone. She also sought to refine the shape of her nose, which had been previously operated on.
The Consultation Process
During her consultation with Dr. Rizk, the patient discussed her aesthetic goals, which included lifting sagging skin, improving the definition of her facial features, and addressing puffiness around her eyes. After a detailed evaluation of her condition, Dr. Rizk recommended a combination of advanced facial procedures to address her unique concerns.
Together, they decided on the following treatments: deep plane facelift, neck lift, endoscopic brow lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, revision rhinoplasty with rib cartilage, bullhorn lip lift, and laser treatment.
The Procedure
Understanding the complexity of the patient’s needs, Dr. Rizk developed a comprehensive and customized surgical plan. Each procedure was chosen to address specific areas of concern.
Deep Plane Facelift & Neck Lift: He performed a deep plane facelift and neck lift to restore youthful contours, lifting and tightening the deeper layers of the face and neck. This approach provides longer-lasting results by targeting the underlying tissues rather than just the skin.
Endoscopic Brow Lift: This technique lifts the brows, creating a refreshed and alert appearance while maintaining natural movement in the brow area.
Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty: The upper and lower eyelid procedures were designed to reduce puffiness, sagging, and under-eye bags, making the patient’s eyes look brighter and more youthful.
Revision Rhinoplasty with Rib Cartilage: Dr. Rizk used rib cartilage to refine and reshape the patient’s nose, correcting the structure from a previous surgery. This improved both the nose’s appearance and its function.
Bullhorn Lip Lift: To enhance the fullness and reduce the distance from the nose to the upper lip, which was longer than desired, Dr. Rizk performed a bullhorn lip lift. This procedure not only improved the lip’s appearance but also helped balance her facial proportions.
Laser Treatment: The laser treatment was applied to refine the skin’s texture, smooth out fine lines, and create a more even complexion.

Three months after her surgery, the patient’s recovery was progressing well, though she was still experiencing mild swelling, which is typical at this stage. She followed detailed post-operative care instructions closely, which helped her heal smoothly. Her swelling was expected to continue improving over time, and she shared her postoperative photos several months after surgery to reveal the significant progress.
These photos show how her face and neck are more defined, and her eyes appear refreshed. The subtle improvements in her nose and lips helped create a balanced, natural look. Dr. Rizk monitored her progress through follow-up appointments to ensure she was healing as expected.
