Nose Department

The Nose Department at Dr. Moustafa Mourad's Manhattan practice brings the full range of nasal surgery — cosmetic, functional, and reconstructive — together under one dual board-certified surgeon. Patients across New York City and the Upper East Side come here for rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, septoplasty, broken nose repair, and nasal valve collapse treatment, as well as the combined functional and aesthetic work that a single, well-planned operation can accomplish.

Rhinoplasty is rarely only about appearance. A nose that looks balanced must also breathe well, so every case is approached as both a structural and an aesthetic problem. Cosmetic rhinoplasty refines the bridge, tip, and profile in proportion to the rest of the face, while functional rhinoplasty restores airflow limited by a deviated septum, narrowed nasal valves, or enlarged turbinates. When breathing and shape are both concerns, they are usually addressed together rather than across separate surgeries.

Revision rhinoplasty — surgery on a nose that has already been operated on — is a particular focus of the practice. These cases involve scar tissue, depleted cartilage, and altered anatomy, and often require cartilage grafting from the septum, ear, or rib to rebuild support before any refinement is possible. Patients told elsewhere that their case was too complex are seen here regularly.

The department also treats the nose after injury. Broken nose repair ranges from early closed reduction within the first one to two weeks to formal reconstruction once a fracture has healed in a deviated position. Related conditions — deviated septum, nasal valve collapse, septal perforation, and turbinate hypertrophy — each have a dedicated page explaining symptoms, diagnosis, and the procedures that address them.

Throughout, the approach is education-first and physician-led. Every plan begins with an unhurried consultation, an honest anatomic diagnosis, and a clear explanation of what surgery can and cannot change.
