Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery) in NYC

Rhinoplasty, often referred to as a nose job, is a surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the nasal anatomy and improving both the appearance and function of the nose. Dr. Moustafa Mourad, a board-certified plastic surgeon in New York City, specializes in various types of rhinoplasties, including primary rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, functional rhinoplasty, ethnic rhinoplasty, and male rhinoplasty. With extensive training in facial plastic surgery and head and neck surgery, Dr. Mourad is committed to delivering natural-looking cosmetic surgery that align with each patient’s aesthetic goals. 

What is a Nose Job?

Nose surgery, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the nose by modifying the bone, cartilage, and soft tissue. This surgery can address various cosmetic concerns, such as a wide nasal bridge, a drooping nasal tip, or uneven nostrils, as well as functional issues like a deviated septum or nasal obstruction. In addition to traditional rhinoplasty, a nonsurgical nose job offers a non-invasive option to enhance nasal aesthetics. Whether you’re looking for a cosmetic rhinoplasty or functional improvements, rhinoplasty procedures can significantly enhance both nasal appearance and breathing. 

Patients can also opt for additional cosmetic plastic surgery treatments, such as a facelift, to further enhance their facial features and achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Nose Job?

Candidates for rhinoplasty usually have specific aesthetic goals or functional concerns motivating them to consider nose surgery. Good candidates typically meet the following criteria:

  • Good Overall Health: You should be in good physical health, with no underlying medical conditions that could complicate surgery or the healing process.
  • Realistic Expectations: It’s important to have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery, understanding the potential changes and limitations.
  • Aesthetic Goals: Whether you’re looking to correct a crooked nose, refine the nasal tip, or improve the overall balance of your facial features, your goals should align with what rhinoplasty can achieve.
  • Functional Reasons: If you’re seeking to improve nasal breathing due to issues like a deviated septum or other nasal obstructions, rhinoplasty may be a good option.
  • Skin Quality and Bone Structure: Dr. Mourad will evaluate your skin quality and bone structures to ensure they are suitable for the surgical procedure.
  • Healing Process: Your ability to heal properly will be considered to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results from the surgery.

During your consultation, Dr. Mourad will thoroughly assess your nasal anatomy and facial features to determine if you’re an ideal candidate for the procedure. Whether addressing nasal breathing issues, wide nostrils, a crooked nose, or other nasal structures, Dr. Mourad’s expertise ensures a tailored approach to meet your individual needs.

Surgical Techniques Used at MouradMD

At MouradMD in Manhattan, Dr. Mourad utilizes advanced surgical techniques to achieve optimal results. The choice of technique depends on the patient’s specific needs and desired outcomes, ensuring a personalized approach to each procedure.

Open Rhinoplasty

This procedure technique is often chosen when greater access to the nasal structures is required. This technique involves making a small incision on the columella, the tissue between the nostrils, allowing Dr. Mourad to lift the skin of the nose and gain a clear view of the underlying bone and cartilage. Open rhinoplasty is particularly useful for complex cases, such as significant reshaping of the nasal tip or extensive corrections. This approach provides the surgeon with more precision and control, leading to more predictable and refined results.

Closed Rhinoplasty

This procedure technique is a less invasive approach that involves making all incisions inside the nostrils, leaving no visible external scars. This technique is ideal for patients requiring moderate adjustments, such as minor reshaping or refining of the nasal bridge or tip. Closed rhinoplasty offers a shorter recovery time and less post-operative swelling of the nose, making it a preferred option for those seeking a quicker return to their normal activities.

Other techniques, such as cartilage grafting, bone restructuring, and the use of implants or grafts, are carefully planned to enhance both the appearance and function of the nose. Preservation rhinoplasty and functional rhinoplasty are also available for patients looking to maintain their nasal structure while improving nasal breathing or correcting a deviated septum. In some cases, patients may also undergo additional procedures such as otoplasty or chin implants to further enhance their facial harmony and overall aesthetic balance.
