At age 62, this patient sought to make her outward appearance better reflect her active and vibrant lifestyle. After having her primary facelift over a decade ago, she decided to pursue another procedure, opting for a secondary deep plane facelift, along with perioral fat grafting and ablative laser with spot dermabrasion around her mouth. She selected 'Facelift/Minilift by Dr. Mustoe in Chicago' due to his expertise and innovative approach to these techniques. The patient wanted to tighten her neck and soften deep wrinkles and lines, aiming for a more youthful look which is compatible with her energetic outdoor activities and regular boating adventures.The procedures were meticulously carried out under local anesthesia and oral sedation in Dr. Mustoe's office, negating the need for drains, a testament to his innovative technique. This patient's zest for life was reflected in her quick recovery, as she was back socializing with her friends effortlessly just four days post-procedure. She reported finding the recovery process smooth and easy, and is delighted with her refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. ......#deepplanefacelift #plasticsurgeon #cosmeticsurgery #deepplanefaceliftbeforeandafter #chicagofacelift #facelift #faceliftchicago #drthomasmustoe #faceliftbeforeandafter #plasticsurgey #faceliftspecialist by @drthomasmustoe

Why do I often choose fat transfer instead of filler?Because the goal isn't just adding volume.It's restoring natural facial contours that continue to look good over time.Fat is your own tissue, so it integrates naturally, and when performed properly, a portion of it can last for years. Fillers can be an excellent option in the right situation, but they are temporary and may attract water over time.The best treatment is the one that creates the most natural result for you.#FatTransfer #FacialRejuvenation #PlasticSurgery #NaturalResults #Aesthetics by @drthomasmustoe

Many people assume a deep plane facelift requires general anesthesia.It doesn't always.In this video, I explain why I perform my facelifts using local anesthesia combined with sedation instead. This approach can be gentler on the body, reduce swelling and nausea, and often allows for a smoother recovery.The most important priority is always patient safety, comfort, and choosing the approach that's right for the individual.#DeepPlaneFacelift #Facelift #PlasticSurgery #FacialRejuvenation #PatientSafety by @drthomasmustoe

A facelift can do a lot for the lower face, but it can't fix everything.While a facelift can lift the corners of the mouth and soften marionette lines, it doesn't treat the fine vertical lines around the lips.That's because those lines are caused by changes in the skin itself, not just by sagging tissues.The best facial rejuvenation comes from matching the right treatment to the right concern.Sometimes that means a facelift.Sometimes it means treating the skin directly.#Facelift #FacialRejuvenation #PlasticSurgery #LipLines #NaturalResults by @drthomasmustoe

A natural neck should never look younger than the face.One of the biggest giveaways of overdone surgery is when the neck appears overly tight, overly sharp, or disconnected from the rest of the face.The goal isn't to create the most dramatic jawline possible.It's to restore balance in a way that matches your age, your features, and the rest of your facial anatomy.The best results don't look operated on.They simply look like you, refreshed.#NeckLift #PlasticSurgery #NaturalResults #FacialRejuvenation #AestheticMedicine by @drthomasmustoe

Lip lines aren't just caused by aging.They're the result of several changes happening at the same time, including thinner skin, collagen loss, reduced structural support, and years of repeated lip movement.That's why some people develop them despite taking excellent care of their skin.The key to natural looking results is understanding what's causing the lines in the first place, rather than assuming one treatment will fix everything.The best treatment plans are always tailored to the individual.#FacialRejuvenation #LipLines #PlasticSurgery #NaturalResults #AestheticMedicine by @drthomasmustoe

A beautiful neck shouldn't steal attention from the face.While ultra sharp jawlines and highly sculpted necks are popular online, the most timeless results are usually the most natural.A balanced neck supports the face, creating harmony rather than drawing attention to itself.The goal of facial rejuvenation isn't to look dramatically different.It's to look refreshed in a way that feels believable and continues to age naturally over time.#NeckLift #FacialRejuvenation #PlasticSurgery #NaturalResults #AestheticMedicine by @drthomasmustoe

There isn't one treatment that fixes every concern around the mouth.Fine lines, volume loss, a long upper lip, and downturned corners all have different causes, which means they often require different solutions.That's why the best results come from treating the underlying problem instead of applying the same treatment to everyone.A thoughtful treatment plan can create a mouth that looks softer, more youthful, and completely natural.The right procedure is always the one that's tailored to you.#FacialRejuvenation #PlasticSurgery #LipLift #NaturalResults #AestheticMedicine by @drthomasmustoe

A neck lift shouldn't be the first thing people notice.While ultra defined, ""snatched"" necks are popular on social media, the most natural results are often the most subtle.A youthful neck should look balanced with the rest of the face. If the neck looks dramatically younger than everything around it, the result can feel disconnected.The goal isn't to create a different face.It's to help you look like a younger, refreshed version of yourself.The best neck lift is the one nobody notices.#NeckLift #PlasticSurgery #FacialRejuvenation #NaturalResults #AestheticMedicine by @drthomasmustoe

Under eye filler isn't the right solution for everyone.While many patients do well with filler, the under eye is one of the most delicate areas of the face, and some people can experience long lasting swelling or an unnatural appearance.The goal should never be to simply fill a hollow.It's to create a smooth, natural transition between the lower eyelid and the cheek so you look refreshed, not overdone.Choosing the right treatment starts with understanding what's causing the concern in the first place.#UnderEyeFiller #FacialRejuvenation #PlasticSurgery #NaturalResults #AestheticMedicine by @drthomasmustoe
