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.
Happy to share this before and after of this wonderful young gentleman after a closed rhinoplasty. No external incisions, minimal swelling, minimal pain, minimal down time.
Intra op photo of a closed rhinoplasty. This rhinoplasty techniques uses no visible incisions, minimizes post operative pain and swelling, and reduces recovery time- so you can get back to life sooner and breathing better!
1 month before and after pictures 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 1 month out and still has some swelling that will only continue to improve!
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.
Do you ever feel like your nose is weak and collapsing? Like you have an inability to pass air? The nasal cartilages and bones can weaken over time, collapsing, causing feelings of congestion and inability to breathe. Sometimes the collapse is so severe it is present at baseline. This can be detrimental to your overall health and well being.
The patient pictured here couldn’t breathe because of collapse of his right nostril. Through an ethnic rhinoplasty this patient’s crooked nose and breathing could be fixed without any external incisions, minimizing pain and post operative swelling.
