Facelift Revision
This is a difficult review due to a facelift that went very wrong & the surgeon who took on my complex revision. This has been a long journey. I spent two years searching for the perfect surgeon to have a facelift. I was 56 and I admit that I fell victim to social media. I'm embarrassed that my five consults were with the biggest marketing shills/ surgeons on IG. A very pricey and emotional lesson learned. My facelift was a complete failure. Botched does not cover the damage done to my face and neck. I then spent months speaking to dozens of "top" plastic surgeons who would not help me. As devastated as I was, I understand why they didn't want to take this on. What surgeon wants a labyrinth of issues caused by another surgeon? (and the good ol' boy's network is alive and well friends! ) In came Melinda Farina aka The Beauty Broker. She brought me to Dr Rizk. She knew right away that he was the only surgeon for this!! The woman oozes integrity and has the biggest shoulders to cry on and lean on. She has been my biggest advocate and I go to her for everything. Need microblading? Call Melinda. New skin cream? Call Melinda. I love her like a sister.
Dr Rizk...you must meet him to recognize what a truly brilliant (genius) plastic surgeon looks like, talks like, and treats his patients like. He loves what he does and that is apparent within 60 seconds of speaking with him. When he speaks and explains what his plan is, he takes you on a scientific journey, and you don't want it to end because you learn the intricacies of his skills, and the depth of his background. A tiny glimpse into the intelligence very few possess. He is gifted. He is talented. He is kind. I swear he is real, and this is not a paid endorsement...haha!
He said he was up for the challenge. He's a problem solver. Lucky me!
I would be remiss not to mention his staff - the dream team. They work as one unit. Everyone knows your case therefore everyone can help with whatever you need. My questions were answered quickly, and they will get Dr Rizk to the phone if you prefer. I felt their sense of family, and I consider all of them as my family. Lovely people!
Surgery day was exciting. I felt safe. The staff was by my side offering hugs and love! Dr Rizk was ready to go and put me back together again.
I was an out-of-town patient and Dr Rizk came to my room the next morning. He was lit up as he described my case and the details of my surgery...video included! Wow! I never developed a bruise. His sutures are the the teeny tiniest stitches, so I have no visible scars. My earlobes are still dainty and intact. My hairline is perfect. No hair loss. The level of detail is insane. I felt well enough to venture out and have some fabulous food with my sister. I did not look like I had just had surgery.
I am a year out...almost to the day.
Under Dr Rizk's care I will move forward with a few tweaks - CO2 laser and a little fat transfer to a small area left damaged by original surgeon.
When I first met Dr Rizk he said, " I will be with you from the beginning to the end." And he has been!
He is a unique surgeon and I feel blessed to be his patient.
