    What is Rhinoplasty?

    Rhinoplasty, often referred to as a nose job, is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose for cosmetic or functional reasons. This can include changes to the bridge, tip, nostrils, or overall size and shape of the nose.
    Dr. Mourad specializes in several types of rhinoplasty, including primary, revision, functional, and ethnic rhinoplasty. Each type requires a deep understanding of facial anatomy and a surgeon’s eye for proportion, balance, and harmony.
     

    Benefits of Rhinoplasty

    Rhinoplasty offers both cosmetic and medical improvements, depending on your needs. Whether the goal is facial symmetry or easier breathing, this procedure can create lasting change that fits seamlessly with your features. Advantages include:
    • Creating better balance between facial features
    • Correcting bumps, asymmetry, or wide nasal bridges
    • Improving the shape or position of the nasal tip
    • Narrowing the nostrils or adjusting nasal width
    • Resolving breathing difficulties from structural issues
    • Boosting self-image and personal confidence
    • Performed as an outpatient procedure in some cases
    Let Mourad NYC help you achieve results that reflect your vision while honoring the natural character of your face.

    Are You a Candidate for a Nose Job?

    If you feel your nose draws attention away from the rest of your face or if structural issues affect your breathing, rhinoplasty might be a solution worth considering. Dr. Mourad carefully evaluates each patient to determine the best approach for natural-looking, functional results. You might be a candidate if you:
    • Are unhappy with the size, shape, or symmetry of your nose
    • Have a bump or drooping nasal tip you want corrected
    • Experience breathing problems due to a deviated septum or other structural issue
    • Have had previous nasal surgery with unsatisfactory results
    • Want to refine your appearance without looking overdone
    • Are in good general health and have realistic expectations

    Our Surgical Techniques Used

    At Mourad NYC, we perform both open and closed rhinoplasty, selecting the method that best fits your anatomy and goals.
    Open rhinoplasty involves a small incision at the base of the nose, allowing greater access and visibility during complex surgeries or revisions.
    Closed rhinoplasty uses internal incisions only, offering a more discreet and less invasive approach with minimal scarring and faster healing.
    Each technique has its place, and Dr. Mourad’s surgical skill allows him to choose the one that delivers the most refined outcome for your unique case.

    What are the Risks of Rhinoplasty?

    Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure, and like any surgery, it carries some risks. These can include bleeding, infection, anesthesia-related complications, and swelling that takes time to resolve. Specific to rhinoplasty, risks might involve difficulty breathing through the nose, changes in skin sensation, asymmetry, or dissatisfaction with the final nasal shape. In rare cases, revision surgery might be needed.

    Super amazing doctor and staff! they’re all so patient and understanding and really care about you. 10/10!
    N
    I was on the hunt for the perfect plastic surgeon for a rhinoplasty/septoplasty for many years. When I found Dr Mourad and decided to proceed with the surgery, it was the best decision I ever made. He changed my life, my look, my ability to breathe and stop snoring! I flew in from out of town for the surgery and he and his staff were so accommodating. The days post op he was available by text, call, his personal number, to make sure everything was going well and it did. My recovery was easy and I was able to fly out of town and back to work in a week. He was honest about what would look natural and what wouldn’t and my surgery came out looking so natural many people who know me couldn’t pinpoint what exactly changed. Dr Mourad stayed in touch, I sent him photos and he monitored my progress even being long distant. I’m so thankful to him, and his skill. He is an excellent surgeon who truly cares.
    H
    Both Dr. Mourad and his entire staff were wonderful. I got full, clear explanations of my treatment plan as well as exactly what and how much I will be billed for going forward with surgery.

    I had a positive experience. The office is clean and the staff are friendly. Dr. Mourad was able to see me right away on arrival. He listened carefully and outlined a course of action.
    M
    Dr. Mourad is a kind and caring doctor who doesnt make you feel rushed and explains in detail what the issue is. For me I had a deviated septum and a complete closure of the bridge and Midvault which made my nose drop down on itself. I didn’t know how bad my nose really was until I got the surgery and it was honestly life changing I am thankful and I highly recommend him
    K
    Honestly I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Mourad. I had a deviated septum that was so bad I could barely breathe, and was worried with this being my first ever surgery. However, Dr. Mourad really made me feel taken care of, walked me through the procedure to ensure I understood what to expect, and produced an amazing result. Both him and everyone in his office are extremely kind and accommodating. I FULLY RECOMMEND.
    C
    I want to start off by saying that dr moustafa mourad has honestly changed my life. I suffered with a perforated septum that was 8mm by 8mm.After being turned down from several doctors in Canada.Dr mourad was very confident and understanding of my situation.During the pre op consultation at his clinic he was very welcoming to me and my family .He was very honest,and truly made the experience easier.After the surgery the doctor was kind enough to give me his personal number due to some complications I was having.I Felt that I got the best possible treatment and I owe my life to the Doctor and Staff!. Coming here is like dealing with trusted family.I wouldn’t recommend anyone else.

    I was lucky to find Dr. Mourad on Zocdoc. He was the 7th ENT doctor I saw and the only one who was able to help me. For 1.5 years I suffered with sinus issues. None of the previous doctors were able to properly diagnose and treat me. During my first visit with Dr. Mourad he explained in details my condition. He did not rush me. I immediately felt at ease and confident to have him perform the surgery. His office staff were amazing. They took care of all my paperwork and handled everything from beginning to end. Ree, his medical assistant was truly amazing. My surgery date was moved to earlier because my condition became worse and she was able to find an earlier opening for my surgery. Even though it was last minute, she found a doctor so I could complete the pre-op tests required. Without her help I don’t know what I would have done. She made the entire process so easy and smooth. I cannot believe how lucky I was to find Dr. Mourad and his team. They literally saved my life!
    C
    My experience with Dr. Mourad went above and beyond expectations. He was thorough with his explanations and incredibly reassuring, and he did a fantastic job with my surgery. His staff is also very friendly and I genuinely look forward to post-op appointments. I could not be happier with my results both in terms of breathing capacity and aesthetics and would highly recommend him!
    J
    Dr. Mourad has been a lifesaver! I love how my nose turned out, big self confidence boost! Great bedside manner and overall a great doctor!
    J
    Dr. Mourad and his team are excellent. My case required a complex rhinoplasty due to prior MOHS resections which left me with a sunken in bridge. He outlined all the risks and explained the procedure thoroughly while making sure I understood everything and felt comfortable. He was always available post-operatively for my questions. I haven’t breathed this well in years! Thank you Dr. Mourad and team!

    Dr. Mourad is as good as it gets from a personable bedside manner to performing a successful and stress free surgery. He made me feel well prepared and taken care of before and after performing endoscopic nasal surgery and a tonsillectomy. Highly recommend, I’m no longer suffering from sinus infections and am breathing so much better post surgery.

    CSF leak can be scary and pretty rare. I was super nervous and Dr Mourad really walked me through everything, kept an even tone, and got me fixed and healed up. Can’t thank him enough for getting me right. Ready to really enjoy the rest of my life. Thank you.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Contact Us
    How long is the recovery after rhinoplasty surgery?
    Most patients return to work or school within 7 to 10 days after rhinoplasty surgery. Swelling and bruising are common during the first week, especially around the eyes and nasal bridge. While much of the swelling subsides within a few weeks, subtle changes in nasal shape will continue to refine over several months.
    Will there be visible scarring after my nose job?
    In closed nose surgery, all incisions are made inside the nostrils, so no external scars are visible. With open rhinoplasty, a small incision is made at the columella, the tissue between the nostrils. Dr. Mourad places this incision carefully to heal with minimal visibility. In both cases, scarring is typically minimal and fades over time.
    Does insurance cover the rhinoplasty?
    Insurance does not typically cover cosmetic rhinoplasty, which is performed to change the appearance of the nose. However, if the procedure addresses a functional concern—such as correcting a deviated septum or repairing nasal obstruction—your insurance might cover that portion of the surgery. At Mourad NYC, our team can review your insurance plan and provide guidance if your case involves functional rhinoplasty.
    What’s the difference between cosmetic rhinoplasty and functional rhinoplasty?
    Cosmetic rhinoplasty focuses on improving the appearance of the nose, such as adjusting the nasal tip, nasal dorsum, or nasal hump. Functional rhinoplasty addresses medical concerns like a deviated septum, nasal obstruction, or collapsed nasal passages to improve breathing. Some patients benefit from both during one surgical procedure.
    How do I know if I need revision rhinoplasty?
    If you’ve had a previous nose job and are unhappy with the result, or if breathing issues persist or new concerns have developed, revision rhinoplasty might be appropriate. In some cases, this is referred to as secondary rhinoplasty. Dr. Mourad evaluates the existing nasal structure, scar tissue, and prior surgical outcomes to determine if revision surgery is needed.
    Can rhinoplasty fix a deviated septum?
    Yes, correcting a deviated septum is a common part of functional or combined rhinoplasty procedures. The septal nasal cartilage separates the two nasal passages, and when it is crooked or displaced, breathing problems can occur. Straightening this cartilage can significantly improve airflow. Dr. Mourad frequently addresses this concern alongside cosmetic refinements for balance and function.
    Will my nose still look natural after the rhinoplasty procedure?
    Absolutely. Dr. Mourad’s goal is to create facial balance and harmony. He takes into account your facial structure, nasal skin thickness, nasal cartilage strength, and your aesthetic preferences to design a nose that fits naturally with your features.
    What areas of the nose can be refined during nose surgery?
    Rhinoplasty can reshape the nasal tip, smooth the nasal hump, adjust the width of the nasal bones, and improve the overall nasal shape. In some cases, refinement involves working with the upper lateral nasal cartilage to improve both the contour of the bridge and the function of the nasal airway.
    Is rhinoplasty considered cosmetic surgery or reconstructive surgery?
    Rhinoplasty can be either cosmetic surgery or reconstructive, depending on the purpose. Cosmetic procedures focus on the external appearance, while reconstructive surgery addresses functional issues like a deviated septum or trauma. Many patients benefit from a combined approach.
    What if I have a broken nose?
    A broken nose often involves damage to both cartilage and bone, including the nasal septum, and timely treatment matters. Dr. Mourad offers a specialized evaluation to determine whether realignment, surgical correction, or full rhinoplasty is appropriate. The goal is to restore both nasal breathing and facial harmony while addressing any functional or cosmetic concerns.
    Why choose a facial plastic surgery specialist for a nose job?
    Rhinoplasty is one of the most technically demanding procedures in plastic surgery. As a board-certified facial plastic surgery expert, Dr. Mourad brings a deep understanding of nasal anatomy and aesthetics to each case, leading to more refined and lasting results. In some complex cases, he uses cartilage grafts to support long-term structure and maintain the desired nasal shape.
    What complications can happen after rhinoplasty?
    While rhinoplasty is generally safe, potential complications include infection or a nasal septal perforation if the septal tissue does not heal properly. Dr. Mourad takes careful steps to reduce these risks, and follow-up care helps support a smooth recovery.
    How long does swelling last after rhinoplasty?
    Patients often notice that most swelling subsides within a few weeks, but residual swelling, especially at the nasal tip, can take several months to fully resolve. Final results usually settle by the one-year mark.
