    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.

In rare cases, revision surgery might be needed.

    Dr. Mourad is the best! Can't thank him enough for his kindness. Two years ago I had a rhinoplasty, facelift, and neck lift with him. My case was complicated by previous surgeries, but he was the best surgeon in New York City that I consulted with. Highly recommend!

    I had a septorhinoplasty with rib graft performed by Dr. Mourad, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the care and expertise he and his staff provided throughout the entire process. From the initial consultation to post-operative follow-ups, Dr. Mourad was incredibly thorough, attentive, and compassionate.
    The results have exceeded my expectations both functionally and aesthetically.
    I asked him to fix my deviated septum while keeping the natural look of my nose—and he delivered perfectly.
    If you’re looking for a surgeon who listens, cares, and delivers outstanding results, I can’t recommend Dr. Mourad enough 😁

    Dr.Mourad is a true artist! With the genius of Mozart and the creativity of Picasso, he delivered beyond perfection!

    I was suffering from a lot of functional breathing issues that was impacting my quality of life. I live in India, and went to see an ENT there, that straight away suggested surgery. Which was supposed to be purely functional without any cosmetic alterations (as I loved my nose and didn’t want any changes).

    However, something drastically went wrong during the surgery, and it left me with a disfigured, significantly shortened and upturned nose with a hump (which never existed before). The mental trauma was such that for an entire year, I walked around with my nose taped, to hide deformity!

    It was a challenging case, and quite a few surgeons in the U.S said they couldn’t get it back to my original as too much damage was done!

    However, that all changed when I met Dr.Mourad! His calmness and confidence reassured me! He studied my original face, analysed it and he not only delivered everything he promised, but he far exceeded my expectations! He got me back to my original self and dare I say with an upgrade! If my original nose was a 9/10.. Dr.Mourad has made it a 10/10!

    The entire process was made seamless, he followed up with me throughout the recovery process, his staff were beyond kind! Not only is Dr.Mourad a god at what he does, but he is also a true gentleman!

    A Heartfelt Thank You to Dr. Mourad and His Team

    I cannot express enough gratitude for Dr. Mourad’s incredible talent, compassion, and dedication. My daughter suffered a broken nose during a high school basketball game after taking a hard hit to the face. At first, we weren’t sure if it was truly broken or just badly swollen, so we sent a photo to Dr. Mourad for guidance. In mere seconds, he could tell it was fractured—a moment that devastated my daughter. Being a young girl in high school is already challenging, and the sudden change in her appearance only added to her distress.

    From the very first interaction, Dr. Mourad was reassuring, kind, and incredibly responsive. He scheduled an appointment the very next day to go over her options, taking into account her active lifestyle as a three-season athlete. Understanding her eagerness to heal and return to sports, he and his team moved swiftly, scheduling her surgery within the week.

    Now, just two weeks post-surgery, her nose looks absolutely amazing. Dr. Mourad not only restored her original shape—he may have even made it look a little better! My daughter is beyond grateful for his skilled hands, and as a parent, I am in awe of how seamlessly he guided us through this experience with warmth, patience, and expertise.

    Dr. Mourad, you are truly exceptional at what you do, but more than that, you are a wonderful person who genuinely cares about your patients. Thank you for everything—you and your team have our deepest appreciation!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    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.
