I’m 54 years old and was looking for more permanent options other than Botox so I started researching Realself looking for a Dr, that’s when I decided to make an appointment with Dr Rizk. I instantly felt comfortable with Dr Rizk he answered all my questions and didn’t rush me.
My 6 month appointment is in a few weeks time but I can’t notice any difference as yet. I have posted my before treatment and after.

Thanks for the photos! I'm not sure if I notice any improvement. Do you? Also how are the areas that were liposuctioned going?

Hi, no there’s no improvement at all. The areas that had the liposuction are great, healed well and happy with that.

Hi I hate to say this you didn't need it in the first place! A mini face lift or just Botox may have given you a better result. Maybe it's still swollen but I think it looks heavy. Maybe you thought it would give you lift? Did he suggest it? Don't worry sure it can be fine tuned xx

Go back to him. How much did he put in?

I have already been to my 6 month appointment and the Dr agreed that there’s no improvement. He wants to wait until the 12 month appointment to see if it needed longer. I had threads put in my lower face ( chin area) and neck so I’ll see if that makes a difference.

It doesn’t take a year to see that it didn’t work. They make you wait a year to do anything because the statue of limitations for suing or charge backs expires

I’m really disappointed with the Dr telling me that my case may take longer than the usual 6 months, after everything I’ve read it’s not going to take now. I would never recommend this procedure as I feel like I have just thrown over $5,000 in the bin. Sadly I haven’t been offered any reimbursement.

I don’t think you can sue.They make you sign papers before your procedure warning you of all the risks that are involved.

Only way to go is a face lift

Fat transfer is not worth it

The doctor only transferred approximately 15cc to my face ( report says 11cc but doctor confirmed it could have been more). The fat all stayed. My skin is hideous now. My face looks stuffed and distorted. The fat was placed so high up my cheeks ( already had prominent cheekbones) that my eyes disappear.Update...
