I am 8 days post op and couldn't be happier! Dr. Mustoe was calm, thorough and eased all of my fears right away. Everything about the process was better than I could have ever expected and I'm thrilled with the results! The recovery was shockingly quick. Dr.. Mustoe talked about how his technique resulted in a quicker recovery and he is right! I took my son to school the next morning and was on video for a meeting the day after my surgery. With my hair down, no one would know. Unbelievable!!! So, so grateful to Dr.Mustoe and team for making the entire process better than I ever could have expected. He truly is THE BEST!
I am writing this three weeks post surgery for a mini-lift (lower lift) I had with Dr Mustoe. Although I am still swollen and numb in some areas, I couldn’t be happier with the results! I am 58 and was starting to show my age. I feel this procedure has taken 15-20 years off my face! I opted for the in-office procedure. I was worried about pain without anesthesia however I was sufficiently sedated and felt nothing nor do I remember anything about the procedure. I was only able to take 6 days off work (the procedure day and the entire following week) and was worried about coworker being able to tell. The area around my temples was still quite swollen but I was able to hide with my hair down. Makeup helped as well. Dr Mustoe is a master of his craft and when it comes to my face, I am not willing to risk poor results. The procedure was pricey however worth every penny!
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.
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 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
I had such an amazing experience with Dr.Mustoe and his team! From the first consultation I felt informed and confident in my decision. I was given honest advice about what would look best for my body. Surgery and recovery went well I couldn’t be happier with my results. I get so many compliments about how natural looking it looks! I truly can’t recommend Dr.Mustoe enough!!
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!
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!
Dr. Thomas Mustoe was a great surgeon from the beginning of the process to the end. He was honest throughout the entire process and patient with me. I appreciate his great communication, patience, and thoughtfulness.
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.
