He is an expert in the most advanced facelift, neck lift, and eyelid surgery, and rhinoplasty techniques, and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

As a recognized specialist on the latest advances in facial plastic surgery techniques, Dr. Rizk has written and lectured extensively on current concepts related to rhinoplasties, neck lifts, facelifts, and other facial plastic surgery procedures. Dr. Rizk is a double board-certified New York facial plastic surgeon and director of Manhattan Facial Plastic Surgery, PLLC.

Dr. Rizk has developed his own techniques and published his methods for customizing procedures to the patient’s facial structure and degree of aging, as opposed to a one-size-fits-all approach. As more and more younger patients, including men, are requesting cosmetic facial procedures, Dr. Rizk believes his newer techniques are better tailored to them. To that end, Dr. Rizk authored some landmark articles on facelift, rhinoplasty, and blepharoplasty surgery, describing new techniques to be applied differently to younger versus older patients.
