What recent patients say
4.9 / 5 · 141 Google reviewsHIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. MOURAD My first sinus surgery was in 2017. Needless to say I felt no relief after that. Fast forward 8 years, I needed to find another surgeon so I could finally be able to breathe. I live an hour and half away from NYC but I knew that’s where I needed to look. I found Dr. Mourad on ZocDoc and I couldn’t have been happier. Dr. Mourad completed not just one surgery for me , but two. I can now say I can breathe better than I ever have and that is all thanks to Dr. Mourad. From his staff to his bedside manner, any patient would be lucky to call Dr. Mourad their surgeon.
I can’t express enough the gratitude and happiness that I feel towards Dr. Mourad and his team. I have been suffering with sinus issues for many years and because of Dr. Mourad I can breathe better than I ever have. Not only have I not had any sinus issues or stuffiness, but my nose is straighter and much more symmetrical. I get compliments all the time and I am obsessed with my results. ❤️
I’m from NYC and over the years I’ve been lucky enough to meet some of the best surgeons in the world. When it came time to actually choose someone for my rhinoplasty though, I ended up going with Dr. Mourad. From the first consultation he was just really kind and easy to talk to. He never made me feel rushed or pressured. He sat with me and explained everything in a way that actually made sense and answered all the little questions I had. You could tell he really focuses a lot on noses and has done this countless times, but he still treated my case like it mattered. The whole experience honestly felt really personal. His staff was so warm and welcoming and they made the whole process feel a lot less intimidating. Surgery is always nerve wracking but they were really reassuring the whole time and checked in on me during recovery too. Living in New York you have so many options and it can honestly be overwhelming deciding who to trust with something like this. I’m really glad I chose him though. The whole experience felt thoughtful and supportive and I just felt taken care of from start to finish.
I had a rhinoplasty consultation with Dr. Mourad, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. He took the time to thoroughly evaluate my nose, listen to my concerns, and explain my rhinoplasty options clearly and honestly. I never felt rushed, and he answered every question with patience and expertise. If you’re researching rhinoplasty or looking for a knowledgeable rhinoplasty surgeon in NYC, I highly recommend booking a consultation with Dr. Mourad. His approach is professional, thoughtful, and focused on natural results.

Dr. Mourad's Surgical Approach
Dr. Moustafa Mourad approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure rather than a skin-tightening one.
Dr. Moustafa Mourad approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure rather than a skin-tightening one. The technique works beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of connective tissue and muscle beneath the skin) to reposition the deeper tissues of the face.
In a deep plane rhytidectomy (the medical term for a facelift), the surgeon releases the ligaments that tether the aging face. This allows the midface, cheek, and jawline to be lifted as a single unit rather than pulled tight at the skin level.
