Face and Neck Lifts

0
I perform facelift surgery at my Chicago practice to smooth lines and wrinkles around the mouth and chin, tighten loose skin and jowls, and correct sagging in the neck. My extensive research in wound healing has guided my development of innovative facelift techniques. Using these techniques, I can achieve beautiful, natural-looking results with reduced discomfort, scarring, and downtime. My facelift technique was published in the premier plastic surgery journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, after being performed in 742 patients over a 10-year period. In addition to full facelifts, I perform mini facelifts (for those who don’t need advanced correction) and neck lifts. The neck is one of the first parts of the body to show significant signs of aging; tightening both the skin and the underlying tissue can result in a more youthful neck contour.

I Had an Amazing Experience

My experience with Dr. Mustoe has been outstanding. Not only were my results natural and exactly what I hoped for, but the care I received throughout the process was exceptional. He is incredibly professional, kind, and attentive. What stood out most was his accessibility. I was able to communicate with him via text after hours and even on holidays about my concerns, and he was always prompt and reassuring in his responses. That level of care made me feel supported and safe every step of the way. I am so grateful for his expertise and compassion, and I would highly recommend Dr. Mustoe to anyone considering surgery.

Well Worth It

I waited a long time to finally explore breast reduction surgery and Dr. Mustoe was the best surgeon I could have found. My results are natural, my recovery was easy, I was well informed, and finally my neck and shoulders don’t hurt and I feel proportionate for my body. I also appreciated that Dr. Mustoe’s office helped me navigate the insurance side of things.

So Happy with Under Eye Results

So thrilled with my results! I had lower eyelid surgery with a fat transfer, the procedure was only mildly uncomfortable, I didn’t even need pain pills after the procedure. I am now two months post surgery and my results are amazing! I see a very noticeable improvement, no more bags under my eyes and significant reduction in under eye wrinkles. Highly recommend Dr. Mustoe! Updated on 5 Oct 2025: Left picture is before and right pictures 3 months post surgery, I see a noticeable difference, I’m thrilled with results, definitely recommend Dr Mustoe. Surgery was relatively painless, I didn’t even need pain medicine not even Tylenol

Dr. Mustoe Provides Exceptional Results!

I've had amazing results with each surgery by Dr. Mustoe. From brow lift to neck lift to labiaplasty to breast implant replacement to scar reduction and breast lift, Dr. Mustoe has given me excellent results. I appreciate his use of "twilight" anesthesia instead of general anesthesia, and have recovered quickly from each surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Mustoe for any cosmetic surgery you might be considering!

Topnotch Surgeon

Dr. Mustoe is simply one of the best there is when it comes to deep plane facelifts. His credentials don't lie. He did a fantastic job on mine—from consultation to post-op care of incisions—and the entire process was drama-free. I have no regrets!

Top Quality Experience

Top quality experience. Ptosis in both eyes and lids corrected. Requested conservative approach due to extreme dry eye condition and Dr Mustoe listened, was kind and patient. I very much appreciated the open door policy for post surgery follow-up appointments.

Amazing Experience

I have been a patient of Dr Mustoe for over 15 years. He has performed upper and lower facelifts, neck lift, blepharoplasty, fat transfers for wrinkles, lasers and dermabrasion and other procedures. I spend a lot of time in the sun. Dr Mustoe is committed to giving you a refreshed look while not looking overdone. Two weeks after a major surgery, no one can tell that you have had surgery, but they will tell you that look great. He is very serious about keeping a natural look. He takes time to listen to your concerns, fears and expectations. He truly cares about his patients. You can look up his credentials, and you will see that they are impressive, but his desire for you to be happy elevates him above others. He is honest and talented. He has a great team that has been with him a long time. I trust him implicitly and highly recommend him.

Ten Years Later- Highly Recommend

I went to Dr Mustoe ten years ago for breast augmentation and I couldn’t be happier. I asked for a natural look and he nailed it. They still look fantastic ten years later. I highly recommend Dr Mustoe - best in Chicago.
