Dr Mustoe is not only an expert, but kind and honest. I had surgery by him over 20 yrs ago and so glad he is still practicing!
Excellent communication beforehand, procedure went smoothly, and the post-operative care has been thorough.

The entire experience was well organized and clear cut. Communication was timely and personal. Dr. Mustoe certainly makes a potentially stressful situation less so with his manner.

I am very satisfied with my results and I was really happy that Dr Mustoe listened to my requests and needs and took this into account when he did my breast reduction. The entire staff was very helpful and attentive throughout the entire process
Met with Dr. Mustoe, had questions answered, came up with a plan
I have some remaining questions I would want answered before I go forward with any face lift procedure. I'm very satisfied with Dr. Mustoe's ideas for "tweaking" my previous revision rhinoplasty (for 10/22/2022) that he performed on 7/13/2021.

Chicago plastic surgeon Dr. Thomas A. Mustoe started his career at Washington University rising to Associate Professor after 4 years, and leaving after 6 years to come to Northwestern University as Professor and Chief of the Division of Plastic Surgery in 1991.
During his tenure, the clinical volume in plastic surgery at Northwestern University Hospital has tripled, and the plastic surgery residency program has become one of the most competitive programs in the country, and one of a very few programs that set aside and fund a required year for research.
Dr. Mustoe has been named annually to multiple Best Doctors lists both locally and nationally for the last 15 years, and carries on a busy clinical practice focused on aesthetic surgery. He has written multiple papers on his surgical techniques in facial reconstruction, breast reconstruction, aesthetic surgery, and techniques for local anesthesia and conscious sedation.
Dr. Mustoe graduated from Harvard College cum laude and Harvard Medical School cum laude. He took an extra year as research fellow in the laboratory of Bernard Fields, M.D., working on the genetics of reovirus, and was awarded the Somas Weiss Award for his work as the best medical student research presentation in 1978 at Harvard.
He completed his internship at Massachusetts General Hospital and his 2nd year residency in surgery at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital. He went on to complete residencies in otolaryngology at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, and plastic surgery at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, where he also served as Chief Resident.
