Humanitarian Work
Dr. Rizk is widely respected for both his advanced surgical expertise in rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, and facelift techniques, as well as his extensive humanitarian work around the world. As an active participant in the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) FACE TO FACE program, he provides free reconstructive surgery to victims of domestic violence, individuals with congenital deformities, and those affected by war-related trauma.
Since 1992, FACE TO FACE has delivered humanitarian and educational initiatives globally. Dr. Rizk remains deeply committed to this mission, using his surgical skills to restore form and function to the faces, necks, and noses of patients in need.
He also serves as Chief Consultant Reconstructive Surgeon at Hospital 57357 in Cairo, Egypt—a leading nonprofit children’s cancer hospital—where he volunteers his time to perform complex facial reconstructive surgeries on young patients affected by cancer-related deformities. The hospital is supported entirely by private donations and was founded under the leadership of Mrs. Suzanne Mubarak, former First Lady of Egypt.
As Dr. Rizk explains, “It is a very rewarding experience to give something back to people who really need help. I consider it an honor and a privilege to participate in these extraordinary missions for reconstructive surgery, and I look forward to caring for more children and hopefully changing their lives.”
Dr. Rizk and Little Baby Face Foundation
Dr. Rizk serves on the board of directors of the Little Baby Face Foundation, an organization that transforms the lives of children born with facial deformities through corrective surgeries. He is part of the team of surgeons who volunteer their time and talents to provide corrective procedures and medical support to children and their families in financial need around the world, including Mongolia, Peru, Nigeria, and the Philippines.
The treatments can be complex: On average, two surgeries lasting three hours each are needed. For Dr. Rizk, serving the needs of others is worth it to see the smiles and tears of joy and happiness from the children and their families in knowing that they were expertly cared for.
Dr. Rizk has also been recognized with the 2012 Patients’ Choice Award for outstanding service and patient care, an honor bestowed on a small group of elite physicians nationwide.

Patient’s Choice Award
Sam Rizk, MD, FACS, named Patients’ Choice Award Winner for 2012
NEW YORK, NY, December 21st, 2012 – Renowned New York City facial plastic surgeon, Sam Rizk, MD, FACS has been honored with a 2012 Patients’ Choice Award for his outstanding service and patient care. Compiled from patients’ online ratings, the award recognizes an elite group of physicians (only the highest rated five percent nationwide) for their excellence in various components of care, including accuracy of diagnosis, amount of time spent with patients, bedside manner, and follow-up care, among others.
“I’m honored to receive an award that’s based on how my patients view the quality of care I provide. I strive each day to exceed my patients’ expectations with highly personalized services and I’m grateful that they’ve recognized my efforts,” said Dr. Rizk.
In addition to Dr. Rizk’s unsurpassed artistic vision, technical skill in facial plastic surgery, and superior surgical outcomes, his Upper East Side practice also offers a number of unique advantages to patients.
As a pioneer in the use of high-definition three-dimensional technology, Dr. Rizk is able to ensure greater efficiency, precision, and accuracy during surgery. Thanks to his state-of-the-art techniques, patients benefit from less bruising and scarring, plus an expedited recovery – generally five to seven days versus the standard two weeks.
Dr. Rizk believes that plastic surgery is as much an art as it is a science and takes into account all facial proportions and rounded edges (rather than pinched tips and harsh lines) to fit each patient’s face. The result is a natural-looking, extremely customized outcome.
Dr. Rizk also helps assuage patients’ fears before surgery with the innovative Face Touch Up application, which empowers patients to view their potential results. By simply uploading their photo, digital images from the front and side view can be altered in this program to get an idea of how the outcome will appear.
It is of the utmost importance to Dr. Rizk and his practice to not only deliver superior patient satisfaction but also to guarantee that the overall experience is as painless and anxiety-free as possible.
