This is a lovely patient of mine that underwent upper eyelid surgery with me 4 months ago. One of the most common complaints that I get is that patients often look “tired”. They also complain that it is difficult to apply makeup, and they have to “lift up” their skin to get the makeup just right. This can be related to excessive upper eyelid skin drooping downwards secondary to the effects of aging and gravity. Surgery involves removing portions of excess skin, in addition to fat and muscle (if necessary). Surgery is designed to “restore” the upper eyelid crease as seen in this patient. Excessive resection can lead to a hollowed appearance that may make patients actually look older than they are.

These rhinoplasty techniques use no visible incisions, minimizes post-operative pain and swelling, and reduces recovery time- so you can get back to life sooner and breathe better! I feel fortunate, humbled, and blessed to be trusted by my patients. We are safely returning to elective surgery and put in place protocols and policy ensuring the safety of patients and staff.
4 months before and after 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 only 4 months out and still has some swelling that will only continue to improve! I feel blessed to be trusted with my patient’s appearance.
Dr Mourad combines being completely factual and thorough in all details with warm engaging bedside manner. He literally said that he thinks of every surgery he does as a piece of art that he pours his soul into (and it didn’t sound corny!)
I’ve had trouble breathing deeply for a while and multiple other issues, including whistling while asleep.
He went into a lot of details of all the downsides of the surgery (none of which happened) and I could get in touch with him through his office 24/7.
Dr. Mourad is an outstanding. I highly recommend him. He took his time to listen to my complaints, explained my diagnose and step by step he and his staff were there before, during and after my surgery. He’s professional, patient and extremely knowledgeable. His bedside manners are exceptional.
One of my patients underwent a rhinoplasty only 1 month ago. She just needed some tip refinement and a lowered nasal hump that made a world of a difference! It enhanced an already harmonious and aesthetically balanced face. You can appreciate the gentle slope of her dorsum and the refinement of her tip in her after photo on the right. I feel so fortunate to be trusted by my wonderful patients with their appearance.
The patient presented with complaints of an inability to breathe after a reduction rhinoplasty many years ago. She underwent a revision rhinoplasty to improve her breathing.
She had complete blockage of her nasal breathing from prior surgeries that left her nose weak and collapsed. In the past, rhinoplasty was performed by removing and weakening nasal cartilages and bones that was designed to give an aesthetically pleasing result, but over time would cause collapse and nasal obstruction. The patient presented here was overall pleased with her external nasal appearance but could not breathe. This is a challenging case as the internal structure of the nose needs to be reconstructed without drastically altering the external appearance, especially in a young female patient. .
In order to make the nose stronger and open up the breathing passages, grafts need to be placed. Typically in primary rhinoplasty septal cartilage is used. However, this patient was missing the majority of her septum. Instead, through a 1.2 cm minimally invasive incision, the patient’s own rib cartilage was used to reconstruct the vital structures of the nose. I employ a very special technique that is low risk, and adds nothing to the recovery post operarively.
The patient subsequently underwent major nasal reconstruction with an enhanced look to an already aesthetically pleasing nose, and breathing better in the process.
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.
Dr. Mourad came very highly recommended to me. He was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. He really listened to my concerns and was very attentive.
For years, I experienced horrible sinus headaches daily and a consistent runny nose. I was concerned about getting my septum fixed in the past because I couldn’t take much time off of work and was worried how my nose would look after healing.
About one month ago, Dr. Mourad fixed my severely deviated septum. The surgery was relatively painless and has been healing fast. Since my surgery, I have not had a single sinus headache and my nose no longer runs. This is a tremendous improvement for me. I’m convinced my nose looks even better than before! I returned to work one week after surgery with no swelling!
Dr. Mourad consistently checked in to make sure I was doing well and healing well. It truly made a difference and I felt very comfortable with Dr. Mourad! I would definitely recommend him to anyone unsure about getting a septoplasty done. He is a true professional and a great surgeon!
Dr. Mourad was fantastic—I’m 6 weeks post op from complete reconstruction. He’s very attentive, personable and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him and his office staff!
