Ziad Katrib, MD

I had a primary rhinoplasty about 21 years ago and had a pretty poor outcome from the beginning. In early 2025, I decided it was time to find someone to fix my nose. My friend recommended I look into Dr Katrib, saying he was an excellent revision expert. When I began my research, it became pretty apparent that he did amazing work. His before and after photos spoke for themselves along with very positive feedback in his reviews. I only wanted to go through a revision one time, and I believed Dr Katrib would help me with the following issues: pinched nostril, inverted V, and saddle nose deformity. My nose was in pretty bad shape - despite all my friends and family telling me it was totally fine. My surgery was in early May 2025. And let me tell you, my experience was FLAWLESS. My primary rhinoplasty left me with a poor experience and I had very low expectations for my revision. Even having a rib graft, I had very little pain or even side effects from anesthesia. The week after, recovery was SO easy. I didn’t feel like I had anything inside my nose and could sleep easily without feeling like my nose was completely stuffed up. The first few months did require some diligence with cipro soaks, ointment, and a nasal retainer. All essential requirements of recovery and support for healing- and totally worth it!!!!! Dr Katrib is a genius. He fixed my nose, and it looks like the nose I was always meant to have. I trusted him completely— he knew exactly what to do and I am completely grateful for him and his outstanding talent. Thank you Dr Katrib!!!!

I’m 6 months post-op from a primary septorhinoplasty with Dr. Katrib and I couldn’t be happier. My breathing has massively improved and aesthetically, my nose looks so good and natural. Dr. Katrib and his office team are very nice and knowledgeable as well. Overall, I’m extremely pleased with my results!

I had a septorhinoplasty with Dr. Katrib almost 5 months ago. I am so beyond grateful to Katrib for his skill, his precision, and his bedside manner. I previously was scheduled with a different surgeon (a popular Turkish surgeon), but began hearing a couple off putting stories, and was having doubts already about traveling out of the country. Many of this surgeon's patients were talking about Dr. Katrib as an expert in revision, and that's how I came to learn about him! Even though I was a primary, I figured I'd rather an expert in revision who knows all the 'watch outs' and all the ways primaries can go wrong. I didn't have many consultations, but that's because I went into my consult with Dr. Katrib already knowing I was probably going to work with him. I wanted to correct some issues with my nose, but I wasn't willing to sacrifice functionality. And I knew Dr. Katrib prioritizes function and is regularly performing revisions on patients to fix their breathing. I had a great, easy consult, and promptly scheduled my surgery. I went into surgery believing it was mostly cosmetic, but as it turns out, I had a completely detached septum. I had NO idea. When I woke up and learned about it, I felt so relieved that I had chosen Dr. Katrib because I trusted his ability to fix that. The day of my surgery, I felt so supported. Dr Katrib called me afterwards to check in, make me laugh, and answer any questions. I felt like he was happy for me -- our conversations were so upbeat and encouraging. During my recovery, I thought I had an infection (I didn't), but Dr. Katrib was beyond responsive...even calling me when he was at the airport going on vacation! The hospital was 5 star. It's in a not-so-nice area which is offputting as you approach, but inside everyone was helpful and the entire process was smooth. I felt safe, taken care of, and surrounded by friendly faces. I couldn't recommend Dr. Katrib more. I just couldnt be more tickled by this whole experience. I had heard so many nightmare stories about these surgeries, but am happy to report that my experience was entirely smooth. I love my nose, I'm so happy I still look like myself, and that's all because of Dr. Katrib!!

Dr. Katrib performed a rhinoplasty on my nose one week ago today. The experience from initial consult visit to the one week follow-up has been nothing short of exceptional. The day of surgery took place with zero hiccups. The surgical staff were so attentive to every single possible need and it was very efficient. Recovery has been better than I had anticipated and the results are amazing. My nose works as well as my Dyson vacuum. I’m looking forward to sleeping tonight for the first time since I can remember. Looking forward to my 6 week follow-up visit.

I had open reconstructive and cosmetic septorhinoplasty with Dr. Katrib in July 2025, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Over a decade ago, I experienced trauma to my nose that left me with both internal breathing issues and noticeable external deviation—my nose had gradually shifted to the left side. After doing a lot of research and consulting with a friend in the cosmetic industry, I was referred to Dr. Katrib in Louisville. From the moment I walked into the consultation, I knew I was in the right place. Dr. Katrib is not only a gifted rhinoplasty specialist, but also an Otolaryngologist, which gave me complete confidence in both the functional and cosmetic aspects of the surgery. He’s incredibly easy to talk to, takes time to answer every question, and provides tons of information before and after surgery. His entire team—both in the office and at the hospital—were warm, welcoming, and extremely professional throughout the entire process. The surgery itself went more smoothly than I could have imagined, and recovery was easier than I expected. I’m beyond grateful to finally have a nose that not only looks amazing but functions properly. I can breathe so much better now, and the aesthetic result exceeded my expectations. Another reviewer said Dr. Katrib deserves more than 5 stars, and I couldn’t agree more!
