Innovative Techniques for Improved Outcomes
Dr. Mustoe’s extensive research into wound healing and scar prevention gives him a unique ability to achieve optimal results with minimal tissue injury during surgery. He has been passionate about developing careful surgical techniques which reduce bruising, speed recovery, and lead to more predictable outcomes. Most often, he uses local anesthesia with sedation. The depth of the sedation can be tailored to the patient and the surgery, providing them the choice of using general anesthesia. However, the advantages of decreased nausea, faster recovery and gentler techniques of surgery have major advantages for local anesthesia. For many procedures, such as rhinoplasty and tummy tuck surgery, he uses innovative techniques that improve comfort, safety, and results for his patients. With Dr. Mustoe, you get the benefits of a “full” procedure with the shorter, more comfortable recovery of a “mini” procedure.
