About Dr. Mourad

Dr. Moustafa Mourad — Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, New York City

Dr. Moustafa Mourad, MD, FACS, is a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon practicing at 923 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. His work brings together aesthetic facial surgery, functional nasal and sinus care, and complex facial reconstruction, allowing him to care for patients with a wide range of cosmetic, breathing, and reconstructive concerns. Patients come to MouradNYC for procedures including rhinoplasty, facelift, eyelid surgery, neck lift, brow lift, sinus surgery, deviated septum correction, and reconstructive facial surgery. But the process does not begin with a procedure. It begins with a conversation. Dr. Mourad takes time to understand what each patient notices, what bothers them, and what they hope to improve. His background in microvascular reconstruction, oncologic head and neck surgery, and fellowship-level facial plastic surgery gives him a deep understanding of facial anatomy, tissue behavior, healing, and long-term surgical planning. That reconstructive foundation directly informs his aesthetic work.

Philosophy of Care

Our Approach

“The most important part of facial surgery happens long before the day of surgery. It begins with listening.”

At MouradNYC, every consultation starts with understanding what bothers the patient, what they notice when they look in the mirror, and what kind of change would make them feel more confident while still feeling like themselves.

Dr. Mourad does not begin by telling patients what is “wrong” with their face. Instead, he takes time to understand their concerns from their perspective first, then carefully studies their anatomy to determine what is truly causing those concerns. This patient-centered approach combines empathy with detailed surgical analysis.

For Facial Rejuvenation

Dr. Mourad considers how the deeper facial tissues, neck, jawline, cheeks, and skin all contribute to the changes the patient is seeing. The goal is to restore balance in a way that looks natural, refreshed, and emotionally true to who they are.

For Nose Surgery

Dr. Mourad evaluates the internal airway alongside the external shape, so changes in contour are planned with long-term structure and nasal function in mind. A beautiful nose should still function well.

For Functional & Reconstructive Needs

The process begins the same way: by listening carefully, analyzing thoroughly, and building a plan around the patient rather than forcing the patient into a standard technique.

Signature Procedures

Common Questions

What makes Dr. Mourad different from other facial plastic surgeons in NYC?

Dr. Mourad holds dual board certification in both Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery — a combination held by relatively few surgeons. He serves as a Fellowship Director with the AAFPRS, formally certified to train other facial plastic surgeons. His background in oncologic reconstruction and microvascular surgery gives him anatomical depth that directly improves outcomes in cosmetic cases.

Is Dr. Mourad board certified in facial plastic surgery?

Yes. Dr. Mourad holds dual board certification from the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS) and the American Board of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery (ABO). He is also a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS). This specialized certification — distinct from general plastic surgery — reflects training focused exclusively on the face, head, and neck.

Where is the practice located, and do you see out-of-town patients?

The practice is located at 923 Fifth Avenue, Suite 1A, New York, NY 10021, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Out-of-town and international patients are welcome. Virtual consultations are available for initial evaluation. Dr. Mourad’s team can assist with surgical scheduling, recovery logistics, and follow-up care coordination.

What is the difference between a facial plastic surgeon and a plastic surgeon? What is the difference between a facial plastic surgeon and a plastic surgeon?

A facial plastic surgeon specializes exclusively in the face, head, and neck. Board certification in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS) requires fellowship training specifically in facial surgery, beyond general residency. A general plastic surgeon covers a broader range including body, breast, and hand surgery in addition to the face.

Yes. Non-surgical treatments are offered through MediSpa by NOURA, located within the same practice. Services include Botox, dermal fillers, Morpheus8 radiofrequency, Lumenis ResurFX laser resurfacing, IPL photofacial, PRP hair restoration, and advanced skin treatments, performed by a dedicated team.
