{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What makes MouradNYC different from other facial plastic surgery practices?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Dr. Moustafa Mourad is dual board-certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS) and the American Board of Otolaryngology — Head and Neck Surgery (ABOto), and serves as an AAFPRS Fellowship Director. His practice is exclusively focused on the face, head, and neck — spanning aesthetic surgery, functional airway reconstruction, and complex facial reconstruction. Every consultation begins with a structured conversation about what the patient notices and what they hope to address, followed by a careful anatomical evaluation."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I know whether I need surgery, a non-surgical treatment, or both?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The answer comes from a comprehensive consultation. Dr. Mourad does not begin by telling a patient what is wrong with their face — he listens to what the patient notices, examines the anatomy carefully, and then explains what is causing those concerns and what options actually fit. Some concerns are best addressed surgically; others respond well to MediSpa by NOURA non-surgical treatments; some involve a staged combination. The recommendation is always anatomy-led, not procedure-led."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Does Dr. Mourad perform both aesthetic and functional nasal surgery?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Dr. Mourad's dual training in facial plastic surgery and otolaryngology means external aesthetic refinement and internal airway function are planned together in the same operation when indicated. A rhinoplasty performed without consideration of the internal valves or septum can compromise breathing; conversely, septoplasty or sinus surgery performed without aesthetic awareness can change external shape. The two are evaluated and planned as a single system."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Where is the practice located and how do I schedule a consultation?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"MouradNYC is located at 923 Fifth Avenue, Suite 1A, on Manhattan's Upper East Side directly opposite Central Park. Consultations are scheduled by phone at 212.832.0444, through the Request Consultation form, or via virtual appointment for out-of-town patients. New patient consultations are extended in length so there is time to review concerns, anatomy, and options without rushing."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Is functional nasal or sinus surgery covered by insurance?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Functional procedures — septoplasty, turbinate reduction, sinus surgery, repair of nasal valve collapse, and certain reconstructive cases — are frequently covered by insurance when there is a documented functional indication (nasal obstruction, chronic sinusitis, recurrent infection, sleep-related breathing concern, or post-traumatic deformity). Purely aesthetic procedures are not covered. The practice will help verify benefits before any procedure is scheduled."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How long is recovery, and when can I return to work?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Recovery depends on the procedure. Most surgical patients are presentable for office or remote work within ten to fourteen days for rhinoplasty, facelift, or eyelid surgery. MediSpa by NOURA treatments generally involve no significant downtime. A personalized recovery protocol — including post-operative visits, when to resume exercise, sun protection, and when social events are appropriate — is provided for every patient."}}]}
