A Comprehensive Revision and Rejuvenation
Dr. Rizk proposed a revision deep plane facelift and deep neck lift to correct the irregularities caused by her previous procedures and restore a natural youthful appearance. To address the issues in her nasal structure, Dr. Rizk performed a revision rhinoplasty using rib cartilage for medial temporalis fascia (MTF) tip support, which promised a more durable and aesthetically pleasing result.
In addition to the surgical interventions, Dr. Rizk incorporated a bullhorn lip lift to enhance the nose-lip distance for improved facial harmony. The treatment plan also included laser therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments to improve skin texture, tone, and healing for a smoother skin texture.
