Dr. Moustafa Mourad is dual board-certified in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery. As a fellowship director within the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Chief of Otolaryngology for Medisys Health Systems, he trains other surgeons while maintaining a focused aesthetic practice in Manhattan.
Facial Surgery Focused On Natural, Balanced Outcomes
Facial surgery requires more than aesthetic judgment. It focuses on restoring harmony, refining definition, and aligning your appearance with how you see yourself. Achieving this demands a precise understanding of anatomy, structural support, and long-term tissue behavior. Each procedure begins with a careful evaluation of facial balance, function, and individual anatomy, with an emphasis on results that appear natural and continue to age gracefully.
Deep Plane Facelift
Specializing in deep plane facelift techniques that reposition deeper facial structures rather than simply tightening skin, restoring natural contours without a pulled appearance.
Rhinoplasty NYC
Refining the nose in a way that brings it into better balance with your features, while protecting breathing and structural support. The goal is a result that looks natural, feels proportionate, and never appears overdone.
Brow Lift
Lifting and repositioning the brow to reduce heaviness and restore a more rested, open look. The focus is on subtle elevation that maintains your natural expression and avoids a surprised appearance.
Hair Restoration Treatment
Using PRP and PRF to stimulate natural hair growth and improve overall density. Treatment focuses on strengthening existing follicles and encouraging healthier growth for a fuller, more confident appearance.
You Deserve a Higher Standard of Facial Surgery
Patients choose Dr. Mourad for the rare combination of advanced reconstructive training, dual board certification, and refined aesthetic judgment. As a fellowship director in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and Chief of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery for a major New York health system, he operates at a level that extends well beyond cosmetic practice alone.
Managing complex head and neck pathology, oncologic reconstruction, and functional airway surgery has given him a depth of anatomical mastery that directly informs every aesthetic procedure. This surgical authority translates into meticulous technique, structural integrity, and results that prioritize safety, facial balance, and long-term stability.
That depth directly informs aesthetic procedures. For facelift patients, this means repositioning deeper facial structures rather than simply tightening skin, supporting natural contours, and avoiding a pulled appearance. For rhinoplasty patients, it means reshaping the nose with careful attention to airway function and long-term structural support, so improvements in shape never come at the expense of breathing.
Rather than relying on a single technique, each procedure is selected and tailored to your anatomy and goals. The focus remains consistent across all facial surgery: balanced proportions, preserved function, and results that look natural in motion and expression.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can a facial plastic surgery help improve?
Facelift surgery helps reduce visible signs of aging by tightening sagging skin, redefining the jawline, and restoring a smoother, more youthful contour to your facial appearance. It addresses both deep creases and volume loss for natural-looking results.
How do I choose the best facelift surgeon in New York?
Look for facelift surgeons with board certification, extensive surgical expertise, and a strong portfolio of before-and-after results. Dr. Mourad combines aesthetic precision with advanced techniques to deliver balanced and lasting outcomes.
What is the difference between facial plastic surgery and reconstructive plastic surgery?
Facial plastic surgery typically focuses on elective procedures that enhance your appearance, while reconstructive plastic surgery restores function and structure after trauma, cancer, or congenital issues. Dr. Mourad specializes in both, offering comprehensive care.
What should I expect during a facelift procedure?
A facelift procedure at Mourad NYC begins with a personalized consultation and involves repositioning underlying tissues, removing excess skin, and refining contours. The goal is to create a refreshed look without altering your unique facial identity.
Can a facelift surgery be combined with other treatments for facial rejuvenation?
Yes, a facelift can be combined with eyelid surgery, brow lifts, or non-surgical treatments to enhance facial rejuvenation. Dr. Mourad customizes each plan to address your goals with precision and care.
What is a deep plane facelift, and how is it different from a traditional facelift?
A deep plane facelift is an advanced surgical technique that lifts and repositions the deeper layers of the face, not just the skin. By releasing and elevating the underlying facial structures as a single unit, this approach restores natural contours in the midface and jawline without creating a pulled appearance. Among modern facial rejuvenation procedures, it stands out for delivering longer-lasting, more comprehensive correction of sagging tissue. Patients often notice a more refreshed and youthful appearance while still looking like themselves.
How long do facelift results last?
Most facelift results last about 10 to 15 years. The procedure turns back the clock, but your face will still age naturally over time. Many New York City patients notice that even years later, they continue to look more refreshed than if they had never had surgery at all.
Long-term results depend on factors like skin quality, sun exposure, and overall health. Some patients choose to pair their facelift with an eyelid lift or other skin rejuvenation treatments to maintain brightness and smoothness in the upper face. With thoughtful care, your results can age gracefully and remain natural-looking for many years.
