Dr. Mourad is literaly the only Dr. i look forward to visiting. He has given me the ability to say “when was the last time you saw me blow my nose?” with conviction and leave the other person speachless!! and that is saying a lot. scince I was young I have had sinus isses that doctors shruged off as allergy symptoms. after the sinus sugery, my quality of life has been wayyyyyyyy better. a few months after the surgery i got a cold and realized that was my baseline and i was so greatfull to no longer live with a runny nose, congestion, multiple sneezing fits everyday, and occational tention migranes.

I am 2 1/2 weeks post op and Dr. Mourad was amazing. At our consultation he really listened to exactly what I wanted and the results I was looking for. He was extremely thorough in explaining to me what the procedure entailed and what it would be like for me post op. I can’t stress enough how he took the time to understand exactly what it was I wanted to do. I couldn’t ask for better results!!

Female Ethnic Revision Rhinoplasty Before and After

Written by on . No Comments on Female Ethnic Revision Rhinoplasty Before and After

Thrilled to share before and after results of my patient after a revision rhinoplasty. The patient is a very pleasant 39 year old woman that came to me complaining of a long standing infection for a year. She had a rhinoplasty 17 years ago, in which the original surgeon placed a synthetic implant. This became infected about 1 year ago!

In her preoperative photos, you can see that she has swelling, redness, and drainage from her nasal bridge. She also has what we call “saddling” of her nose. This refers to collapse of the nasal bridge. The goals of treatment were to eliminate the infection, correct the nasal deformity, and maintain the integrity of her breathing. She underwent a rhinoplasty with me with rib reconstruction through a minimally invasive 1.2 cm incision.

It is important for patients to recognize that placing foreign and synthetic implants in the nose carries a serious risk of infection, not only at the time of surgery, but many years later. This patient developed an infection after 17 years! In my practice I see infections that arise on average 11 years after the original surgery! These are extremely complicated problems as antibiotics typically cannot resolve the infection, and the implant usually is a major supportive structure. This patient was on antibiotics for almost a year, that failed to clear the infection. She sought treatment from multiple surgeons who recommended removing the infected implant and allowing her to heal for 1 more year followed by a second surgery for definitive reconstruction. Looking at the intraoperative photos after implant removal you can appreciate the gravity of this approach. She would essentially have no nose for a whole year! I offered her implant removal with reconstruction during the same surgery.

Many times, patient’s are worried that implant removal will alter the shape of their nose. This patient was particularly worried because she liked her overall nasal appearance (minus the infection!). Fortunately, using the rib made her nose look even better, and I am pleased to say that she extremely satisfied with her results. Feel very fortunate and blessed to be trusted with a patient’s face.

Male Deviated Septum / Rhinoplasty Before and After

Written by on . No Comments on Male Deviated Septum / Rhinoplasty Before and After

Very pleased to post before and after photos of my patient who had a rhinoplasty. The patient is a pleasant and wonderful 40 year old Male that came to me looking to fix the appearance of his nose.

The photos on the left show the before, where he had a droopy tip, dorsal hump and bony deviation to his left. Important considerations are to address all these areas without compromising the patient’s masculinity and keeping his nose in harmony with the remainder of his other facial features. He underwent rib reconstruction through a minimally invasive 1.2 cm incision, due to an absence of septal cartilage.

He is currently 3 weeks out and still has mild swelling but still looks great! He should continue to heal well and look good!

Intra op photo of a closed rhinoplasty. This rhinoplasty techniques uses no visible incisions, minimizes post operative pain and swelling, and reduces recovery time- so you can get back to life sooner and breathing better!
