Face and Neck Lifts

376 Photos88 Reviews594 Q&A0 Offers
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.

Deep Plane Facelift

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!

I Had an Amazing Experience!!

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.

Ptosis Surgery

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.

Amazing Experience and Results with Dr. Mustoe

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Mustoe for breast augmentation! He made me very comfortable about the process from the beginning and made sure to understand what my goals were. The procedure itself was very smooth and I had an easy and quick recovery! Couldn’t be happier with my results so far and Dr. Mustoe’s work.

Extraordinary Surgical Aptitude

I have been a patient of Dr. Thomas Mustoe for several years. Many consider him to be the finest cosmetic surgeon in the Chicago area and the Midwest. Outside his extraordinary surgical aptitude, he can touch your heart with his kindness, his thoughtfulness, and his availability. Words can't describe the confidence that he has earned because of his skill and professionalism.

Dr. Mustoe is incredibly talented and provides excellent pre and post operative care, along with his staff. He goes above and beyond to ensure his patients are happy with their results. I was incredibly impressed with the amount of time he spent during each visit to ensure all questions were answered and all information was delivered and understood.

Eyelid Surgery

Above and Beyond Experience!!!

I only have incredible things to say about Dr. Mustoe!!! First, I came to him about concerns over my eyes. I’ve had hooded eyes my entire life, and it’s genetic, eventually causing ptosis later in life. My family members have all had corrective surgery. As I began to age, I noticed my eyes getting more droopy, making me look older, sleepy, and hiding the appearance of my eyes. I came to Dr. Mustoe for a few reasons - he has incredible experience with a phenomenal background, has developed a unique approach to upper blepharoplasty for natural results, and he had incredible before and after results / patient reviews. Dr. Mustoe went above and beyond my expectations!! Shortly after receiving my quote and consultation, I faced some financial challenges that required me to revisit the approach. Dr. Mustoe incorporated my budgetary needs with my desires, and combined that with that he knew based on his almost limitless experience, what the best approach would be. I was fully confident that he wouldn’t take any risks, and that if I were not in the financial place, I knew he would NEVER cut corners and would be honest with me. This transparency is part of what sets him apart from all the rest! After that, I was ready for surgery. I opted for the in office procedure where Dr. Mustoe and his incredible nurse, Marissa, were there to support me in every way possible that day. I felt the space was clean, comfortable, and their demeanor was warm and assuring. They assessed me and made sure they did what was right for me - a very well tailored experience. During the procedure, it was absolutely painless and quick!! I came to shortly after where Dr. Mustoe and his nurse welcomed my fiance into the room to come pick me up. It went so smoothly, I couldn’t believe it. I was tired the rest of the day, and slept with my head elevated, rotating ice 5 mins on 15 mins off. Keeping the wound moisturized as directed kept me from feeling uncomfortable. On the day after my operation, I was groggy from the meds the day before, but had no pain that I couldn’t manage with ice. I was medication free, resting, and felt comfortable. Now, I wouldn’t be running a marathon, but I was shocked how comfortable I felt. Fast forward a few days, I got my stitches out. I was absolutely in awe of the results. They were above and beyond my expectations!!!! My experience was incredible. Dr. Mustoe made me feel heard, he understood my desired result, and has a gentle yet assuring approach. I would recommend anyone to Dr. Mustoe who desires to have work done on their face. I was nervous searching for the right doctor, but I knew I found the right person when Dr. Mustoe took plenty of time to talk with me about my concerns and desired outcome. 100000 stars out of 10! Thank you to the whole team. The entire staff- including the front desk, office manager, nurses, and Dr. Mustoe himself are kind, courteous, positive, and accommodating. Thank you for helping me feel like myself, but just a little refreshed!! :)

Breast Implant Revision

Another Great Experience with Dr. Mustoe!

I returned to see Dr Mustoe for my implant exchange surgery as he did an excellent job with my breast reconstruction after a bilateral mastectomy. I moved out of the country and traveled back to Chicago for this surgery. I would not have had it any other way! Dr Mustoe did a fabulous job this time around as well.
