Dr. Sam Rizk to Present at Baker Gordon Symposium 2026

Facial plastic surgeon Dr. Sam Rizk, MD, FACS, is set to return as a key faculty member at the Baker Gordon Educational Symposium, scheduled for February 5–7, 2026, in Miami. The event marks a significant milestone as it celebrates its 60th and final year, making it the longest-running aesthetic surgery conference in the United States. This symposium has been pivotal for surgeons and aesthetic professionals, serving as a platform for sharing knowledge and advancing surgical techniques.

On February 6, Dr. Rizk will present a comprehensive video demonstration of his renowned deep plane facelift. This technique focuses on vertical repositioning of deeper facial tissues, steering away from traditional horizontal methods that rely mainly on skin tightening. Dr. Rizk is eager to enlighten an international audience of surgeons on the benefits and considerations of this method, which aims to maintain natural facial contours while effectively addressing changes associated with aging in both the face and neck.

Dr. Rizk expressed, "Returning for the final Baker Gordon Symposium is profoundly meaningful. It allows us to exchange techniques, evaluate evolving approaches, and enhance patient care within our community."

In his demonstration, Dr. Rizk will also integrate discussions about the use of Artiss™ tissue glue during surgical closure, highlighting its role in ensuring seamless results. Beyond the demonstration, Dr. Rizk will actively engage in various panel discussions and interactive sessions, focusing on modern surgical methodologies, technical refinements, and the increasing influence of technology in aesthetic surgery.

The Baker Gordon Educational Symposium began in 1967, originally designed as a forum for live surgical demonstrations, lectures, and professional collaboration in both aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. Over the years, it has become a landmark event in the field, fostering significant growth and innovation in surgical techniques.
