Female Rhinoplasty Before and After

Happy to share these before and after rhinoplasty photos of my wonderful and lovely park ave patient. She had breathing and aesthetic concerns that were addressed with a closed rhinoplasty. This type of surgery involves no visible scars or incisions. Its a small detail, but makes a big difference! I feel fortunate to be trusted with my patient’s faces and their physical well being.

These rhinoplasty techniques use no visible incisions, minimizes post-operative pain and swelling, and reduces recovery time- so you can get back to life sooner and breathe better! I feel fortunate, humbled, and blessed to be trusted by my patients. We are safely returning to elective surgery and put in place protocols and policy ensuring the safety of patients and staff.

Female Rhinoplasty 4 Month Before and After

4 months before and after of my wonderful patient who underwent a rhinoplasty. This is an incredibly wonderful patient of mine that underwent some changes to her dorsum and nasal tip to enhance her look while improving her breathing. She is still only 4 months out and still has some swelling that will only continue to improve! I feel blessed to be trusted with my patient’s appearance.

Revision Rhinoplasty Before and After

The patient presented with complaints of an inability to breathe after a reduction rhinoplasty many years ago. She underwent a revision rhinoplasty to improve her breathing.

She had complete blockage of her nasal breathing from prior surgeries that left her nose weak and collapsed. In the past, rhinoplasty was performed by removing and weakening nasal cartilages and bones that was designed to give an aesthetically pleasing result, but over time would cause collapse and nasal obstruction. The patient presented here was overall pleased with her external nasal appearance but could not breathe. This is a challenging case as the internal structure of the nose needs to be reconstructed without drastically altering the external appearance, especially in a young female patient. .

In order to make the nose stronger and open up the breathing passages, grafts need to be placed. Typically in primary rhinoplasty septal cartilage is used. However, this patient was missing the majority of her septum. Instead, through a 1.2 cm minimally invasive incision, the patient’s own rib cartilage was used to reconstruct the vital structures of the nose. I employ a very special technique that is low risk, and adds nothing to the recovery post operarively.

The patient subsequently underwent major nasal reconstruction with an enhanced look to an already aesthetically pleasing nose, and breathing better in the process.

Female Ethnic Revision Rhinoplasty Before and After

Before and after of a young female that had an ethnic rhinoplasty. It is important to recognize inherent differences between people based on region of origin as this impacts the internal structures of the nose. A rhinoplasty should not be one size fits all. You should communicate with your physician your desired aesthetic goals. Many patients want to maintain their identity with slight enhancements. It is important to find a surgeon that understands these differences and can offer you the best possible care.

Before and After Female Revision Rhinoplasty

This young female patient that had a revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Mourad using her own rib. She came in 9 years after a primary rhinoplasty with another surgeon in New York City. She complained about her nose looking “deformed and unnatural”. The photo on the left shows her before photo. As you can see, she has asymmetry of her nasal tip. A functional and cosmetic surgeon Dr. Mourad looks at the “tip defining points”. These can best be appreciated by the reflective white light points at the tip. In her photo on the left, you can see that the patient’s right light point is higher then her left point. This was because her nose was twisted, with malformation and poor positioning of her cartilages.

Many years ago, when she had her original surgery, they removed cartilage that caused asymmetrical scarring and positioning of the cartilages as the years wore on. Over time, her nose began to droop looking unnatural. In her after photo on the right, you can see that her tip points are symmetric, with symmetric casting of light and shadows. Using her rib through a minimally invasive approach and access through a 1.2 cm incision, Dr. Mourad was able to recreate the natural contours of the nose. This photo is only 1 month after surgery, with still some swelling that should come down with time.
