What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, or a nose job, is a surgical procedure that reshapes or reconstructs the nose for cosmetic or functional reasons. It can involve very subtle adjustments to the bridge, tip, nostrils, or overall proportions of the nose. Some people choose rhinoplasty to refine features they’ve always wanted to change, while others do it to correct breathing issues or restore balance after an injury.
Dr. Mourad performs several types of rhinoplasty, including primary, revision, and functional procedures. Each type requires technical precision, an artistic eye, and a deep understanding of nasal anatomy to create a result that looks completely natural and helps you breathe comfortably.
Which Type of Nose Surgery Is Right For You?
Choosing the right type of rhinoplasty depends on your goals, your medical history, and what you hope to change or improve. Dr. Mourad takes time to understand your concerns before recommending a surgical plan that fits your needs.
Primary Rhinoplasty
Primary rhinoplasty is for patients who have never had nose surgery before. It focuses on reshaping or resizing the nose to better fit your facial structure. Some patients want to refine a bump on the bridge, lift or define the nasal tip, or narrow the nostrils. Others want subtle, balanced changes that enhance their natural features without looking “done.”
Dr. Mourad approaches each procedure with precision and artistry, aiming for results that blend seamlessly with the rest of your face.
Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision rhinoplasty corrects issues that remain or have developed after a previous nose surgery. This might include breathing difficulties, irregularities in shape, or having dissatisfaction with the outcome of a prior procedure. Revision surgery is often more complex because it involves working with scar tissue and previously altered structures.
Dr. Mourad’s experience in advanced nasal reconstruction allows him to restore both form and function, helping patients feel confident again after an unsatisfactory prior result.
Functional Rhinoplasty
Functional rhinoplasty focuses on improving nasal airflow and breathing while maintaining or enhancing appearance. It can address structural problems such as a deviated septum, collapsed nasal valves, or internal obstructions that limit airflow.
Many patients who receive functional rhinoplasty notice a significant difference in sleep quality, exercise comfort, and overall well-being.
Dr. Mourad often combines functional improvements with aesthetic refinements, often creating a result that feels as good as it looks.

Facelift Revision: When to Consider a Touch-Up and How to Avoid Overcorrection
A great facelift can refresh the face and neck for 10 years or more. But aging doesn’t stop, everyone’s anatomy is a little different, and healing has a mind of its own. For some patients, a second, smaller procedure—a revision or touch-up—can sharpen the result, fix early issues, or correct an imbalance that showed up during recovery. The trick is knowing when to step in, what to do, and how to do it with a light hand—so you don’t drift into overcorrection.
