Thomas A. Mustoe, MD, FACS

For the longest time, I wanted a nose job. It was a facial feature that consistently bothered me yet I didn't have the confidence to commit to surgery. I'd seen my sister get the procedure when she was 16, and she looked horrible in the weeks that followed. It's safe to say, I was terrified to do the same. Years went by and I came to terms with what I truly wanted, especially with my wedding on the horizon. I "shopped" for plastic surgeons across the Chicagoland area, having conducted

Note If I could give Dr. Mustoe 10 stars I would. I’m a retired surgeon so I think I’m a pretty good judge of surgeons. I had a deep plane face and neck lift and a temporal brow lift. He was straight forward and direct with no obsequious BS. I was told exactly what to expect post op and that was exactly how it played out. I had no postoperative pain and minimal swelling and bruising. The toughest part of my recovery so far was sleeping on my back for 10 days. I am thrilled with

Kiki. Age 61. 1. Gave myself a lower face and neck lift for my 60th birthday. 2. Had my 22 year old breast implants replaced. Mastectomy on one side. The most telling review I could leave that would be most helpful to others would be is to share excerpts from the heart-felt thank you note I penned to Dr. Mustoe. “T/November 25, 2025 Dear Dr. Mustoe, Anyone who reviews your academic and/or professional CV will be impressed - I was. And then I met you… I wanted to take a moment

If you want subtle, but meaningful results, Dr Mustoe is the surgeon for that. He gives practical advice and ensure patient expectation and his expectation are aligned during the consultation.. I was able to get back to work two weeks after the facelift and no one noticed in the office. I see meaningful results after three months.. I am 54 year old. The surgery does not dramatically change my face, but makes my face look brighter and 5 to 7 years younger.. He is the most experienced

Dr Mustoe will not only meet your expectations, he’ll exceed them. He’s an artist, the results are very natural. He’s a skilled surgeon…nothing about his artistry suggests plastic surgery. I had a mid level facelift and a breast lift. Both surgeries were performed the same day. Neither procedure was very painful, I was able to go out within a week. The results are beautiful, he did not disappoint. Dr Mustoe is truly in a league of his own. I feel so fortunate that I found

I recently had a lower face and neck lift, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From my first consultation through recovery, Dr.Mustoe made me feel completely comfortable and confident in my decision. The results look incredibly natural—refreshed, lifted, but still like me. My jawline is more defined, and the loose skin in my neck is gone without looking tight or overdone. The entire team was professional, attentive, and always available to answer questions, which made

If you have a life and don’t want to miss it by saying in bed for weeks after your surgery, Dr Mustoe is the surgeon for you. I had dinner with my young kids (11,8,6,2) right when I came home from the surgery and watched their guitar lesson. I had my drains out in less than three days. I was dancing at a party on day 12. Something about the way he does the surgery and the lack of general anesthesia just makes the healing process easier and better. I’m a month out now and can
