Pioneer Of The Modern Deep Plane Facelift Shares Global Technique On International Stage

NEW YORK, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Sam Rizk, MD, FACS, a global leader in deep plane facelifts, will perform live surgery at Deep Plane Brazil 2026, a world-renowned conference dedicated exclusively to advanced deep plane facial rejuvenation techniques. The meeting will take place April 30 through May 5, 2026, at Hotel Unique in São Paulo, Brazil.

Deep Plane Brazil is designed for best-in-class facial plastic surgeons seeking advanced surgical training and discussion. The six-day international deep plane facelift training program features live operative demonstrations, cadaver dissection workshops, and advanced anatomical lectures focusing on modern deep plane techniques, precision SMAS sculpting, and comprehensive neck rejuvenation.

Dr. Rizk joins a distinguished international faculty that includes leading surgeons Renert Gad, Mario Pelle Ceravolo, and Edgar Kaminskyi. His selection to perform live surgery reflects his leadership and global recognition in contemporary deep plane facial surgery.

During the conference, Dr. Rizk will present his structural philosophy of facial rejuvenation and perform his signature deep plane facelift live, offering fellow surgeons rare, real-time insight into the technical precision and anatomical nuance that define his approach.

“Meetings like this are invaluable because they give surgeons the opportunity to learn from one another in an honest and transparent way,” said Dr. Rizk. “Performing surgery live keeps you accountable—there’s no editing and no polishing. Every movement matters, and that level of rigor ultimately translates into better care for our patients.”

Dr. Rizk’s work emphasizes restoring facial structure by repositioning deeper support layers rather than tightening surface skin alone. This structural approach allows surgeons to restore contour and balance at the anatomical level, producing refined and durable outcomes that preserve each patient’s natural identity.

“When performed with meticulous respect for anatomy, the deep plane facelift allows us to restore facial structure in a way that appears completely natural—never pulled and never overcorrected,” Dr. Rizk added. “My responsibility is not simply to rejuvenate a face, but to enhance what is already beautiful and distinctive about each patient.”
