About
In fact, I have dedicated my professional career to the study and mastery of this fascinatingly beautiful and complex structure.
Noone appreciates the value of an attractive nose more than I do.
The nose is the centerpiece of the face.
Changing the nose completely upgrades someone’s look – the way they are perceived, their success in life, their sense of self-esteem, etc.
This is an incredibly rewarding experience. I’m truly blessed to have the opportunity to have such a positive impact on the lives of others.
I take on each and every case with an understanding of this great potential and a burning desire to maximize your result.
“The Nose You Should Have Been Born With”
I like to call this “aggressive beauty”.
Achieving the nose of your dreams requires a committment to a structured preoperative process:
2. analyzing your unique starting point
3. visualizing and simulating the result, confirming our shared goal
4. developing a precise surgical blueprint as to what techniques can achieve the desired aesthetic changes

My current surgical practice is limited to the full extent of nasal and sinus surgery for breathing and cosmetic purposes. I have been operating over 15 years in private practice and 22 years now including residency. I perform hundreds of rhinoplasties per year.
I am certainly proud of my credentials. However, artistic vision isn’t something that is taught in medical school or residency. It takes a keen sense of aesthetics and an unrelenting desire to achieve perfection, however impossible that may be.
In particular, I do not feel it is appropriate to judge cosmetic surgeons based on:
- Awards such as being voted “Doctor of the Year” by some publicity firm which accepts payments from doctors
- “Top Doctor” status based on things such as number of questions answered and not surgical results
- TV and magazine appearances also usually arranged by PR firms
All of these things are just ultimately just marketing and sometimes even smokescreen. Surgeons should be judged on results first and foremost and then bedside manner / customer service secondly.
I am proud to be a 5-star Facial Plastic Surgeon across most of the common review sites. I thank my wonderful patients for taking the time to write about their experience and to “pay it forward” in helping other patients navigate the process.
Dr. Kim Patrick Murray, MD is a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon / Otolaryngologist who specializes in Rhinoplasty and breathing related problems. He has dedicated his career to studying everything about the nose, from nasal obstruction, allergy and sinus problems, and aesthetic principles.
Early on in his career Dr. Murray realized his love and passion for human anatomy. Originally from upstate New York, he graduated Summa Cum Laude from SUNY Brockport and attended medical school at University of Rochester School of Medicine. During medical school, Kim also completed a special one-year Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Fellowship, where he focused on anatomic dissections and autopsies.
Eventually he came to discover that the face, and specifically the nose, was his primary interest. Dr. Kim Patrick Murray excelled in a prestigious 5-year ACGME accredited Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery residency in the New York City Metropolitan area, UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School, where he was elected Chief Resident during his final year. Training at the only Level 1 trauma center in the entire state of New Jersey allowed Dr. Murray to gain extensive experience in treating facial trauma and reconstructive problems. He also directed the Facial Plastics clinic, providing surgical management of a variety of cosmetic problems, particularly functional and cosmetic Rhinoplasty.
After residency, Dr. Murray gained additional experience in the field of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery under the tutelage of world renowned Dr. Vito C. Quatela, Past President of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Dr. Murray has also published numerous papers in the Otolaryngology literature and presented at many national and international conferences.
