World-Renowned Facial Plastic Surgeon Presents Deep Plane Facelift Demonstration During 60th Anniversary of the Esteemed Educational Event
Facial plastic surgeon Sam Rizk, MD, FACS, will return as faculty at the Baker Gordon Educational Symposium in Miami from February 5–7, 2026, during the meeting’s 60th and final year. The Baker Gordon Symposium is the longest-running aesthetic surgery conference in the United States.
On February 6, Dr. Rizk will present a video demonstration of a deep plane facelift, addressing an international audience of surgeons and aesthetic professionals. The demonstration will focus on surgical technique and procedural considerations relevant to modern facial rejuvenation.
“Returning for the final Baker Gordon Symposium is meaningful,” Dr. Rizk said. “Educational demonstrations allow surgeons to exchange techniques, evaluate evolving approaches, and continue advancing patient care.”
Dr. Rizk’s approach to the vertical deep plane facelift involves repositioning deeper facial tissues vertically rather than relying solely on horizontal skin tightening. The technique is intended to support natural facial contours while addressing age-related changes in the face and neck. During the demonstration, Dr. Rizk will also discuss the use of Artiss™ tissue glue as part of surgical closure.
In addition to the demonstration, Dr. Rizk will participate in panel discussions and interactive sessions focused on contemporary surgical techniques, technical refinements, and the evolving role of technology in aesthetic surgery.
Established in 1967, the Baker Gordon Educational Symposium has served as a forum for live surgical demonstrations, lectures, and professional collaboration in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. The 2026 meeting marks the conclusion of the symposium’s six-decade history.
