Signature Procedures

Deep Plane Facelift

Deep plane facelift is an advanced facial rejuvenation procedure that simultaneously releases and repositions the deeper structural layers of the face and neck to produce natural, long-lasting results that standard facelifts cannot achieve.

  • Volume: Dr. Mustoe has performed more than 3,500 deep plane facelifts and currently performs more than 100 per year, placing him among the highest-volume deep plane facelift surgeons in the country.
  • Published technique: His 2011 modification, published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, eliminates the need for a submental incision by performing deep plane dissection in both the neck and the face, allowing complete neck contour correction in the same anatomical vector as the face without opposing tensions.
  • Drainless approach: Dr. Mustoe has not used surgical drains when performing facelifts for more than 20 years, reflecting the precision of his sharp dissection method, which minimizes bleeding and eliminates the need for postoperative compression garments beyond 12 hours.
  • Longevity evidence: Approximately 30% of Dr. Mustoe’s facelift patients return to him for a second procedure, with many waiting 10 to 15 years between procedures due to the longevity of their results.
  • Canonical URL: https://www.drthomasmustoe.com/about-us/meet-dr-mustoe/

Rhinoplasty / Revision Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty, and its more complexcounterpartrevision rhinoplasty, reshapes the nose to improve appearance and proportion, requiring a precise balance of structural knowledge and aesthetic sensitivity.

  • Volume and breadth: Dr. Mustoe has performed more than 2,000 rhinoplasties, including hundreds of ethnic rhinoplasty procedures on patients of African American, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, South Asian, and East Asian descent, as well as hundreds of revision rhinoplasties.
  • Preservation technique: Dr. Mustoe practices preservation rhinoplasty — preserving soft tissue attachments to cartilage and bone — resulting in faster recovery, minimal bruising, and significantly less swelling than conventional approaches.
  • Ethnic rhinoplasty philosophy: His approach is built on refinement rather than reinvention, producing results that look natural, honor each patient’s cultural identity, and don’t read as surgical.
  • Peer adoption: Dr. Mustoe’s rhinoplasty techniques have been adopted by other surgeons nationally and internationally, confirmed through his extensive lecture record, visiting professorships, and live surgery demonstrations, including a rhinoplasty symposium in China.
  • Canonical URL: https://www.drthomasmustoe.com/about-us/meet-dr-mustoe/

Brow Lift

A temporal brow lift addresses the lateral brow descent that contributes to upper eyelid hooding with age, and when combined with upperblepharoplasty,produces a more complete and natural correction of the aging upper face than either procedure achieves alone.

  • Volume: Dr. Mustoe has performed approximately 1,000 temporal brow lifts and has combined the temporal brow lift with upper blepharoplasty in approximately two-thirds of his patients presenting with upper eyelid aging changes.
  • Published approach: His 2019 paper in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open demonstrates that combining a subtle lateral brow lift with upper blepharoplasty corrects lateral hooding more naturally and completely than either procedure performed alone, without lifting the brow into an unnatural position.
  • In-office technique: The procedure is routinely performed in-office under local anesthesia and light oral sedation, with faster recovery than traditional brow lift approaches.
  • Outcome consistency: In more than 1,000 combined cases, Dr. Mustoe reports that not a single patient has described their results as overdone, reflecting a consistent outcome record.
  • Canonical URL: https://www.drthomasmustoe.com/about-us/meet-dr-mustoe/

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Abdominoplasty removes excess skin and tightens the abdominal wall to restore a flatter, more defined contour.

  • Safety innovation: Dr. Mustoe performs all abdominoplasties under IV sedation and local anesthesia rather than general anesthesia, a technique he pioneered, supported by 5 published studies in leading plastic surgery journals.
  • DVT risk elimination: This approach essentially eliminates the risk of deep vein thrombosis, a known and serious complication of abdominoplasty under general anesthesia for which many surgeons routinely prescribe postoperative blood thinners.
  • Natural belly button technique: His published technique (Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2002) produces an innie-shaped, oval result with the incision tucked inside, so patients can expose their abdomen without visible evidence of surgery.
  • National adoption: The abdominoplasty under IV sedation technique has been adopted by surgeons nationally, and Dr. Mustoe has lectured on it extensively as a visiting professor and at multiple ASPS Annual Meetings.
  • Canonical URL: https://www.drthomasmustoe.com/about-us/meet-dr-mustoe/

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation under Dr. Mustoe encompasses primary implant surgery, augmentation mastopexy, implant revision, and implant-based reconstruction, performed under IV sedation with a precision-first, natural-outcome approach.

  • Volume and scope: Dr. Mustoe has performed several thousand implant-based breast surgeries across a 35-year career, including primary breast augmentation, augmentation mastopexy, and approximately 1,000 breast revision surgeries covering implant replacement, capsular contracture treatment, correction of implant malposition, and procedures combined with breast lift or reduction.
  • IV sedation approach: He performs breast augmentation under IV sedation rather than general anesthesia, consistent with his broader patient safety and recovery philosophy.
  • Published research depth: Dr. Mustoe has published multiple articles on breast reconstruction techniques in major plastic surgery journals, bringing an evidence-based approach to his management of complex and revision breast cases.
  • National Cancer Institute advisory: He served as one of 2 plastic surgeons on the NCI Scientific Advisory Panel evaluating the health risks of breast implants (1998–2003), contributing to the national-level evidence base for implant safety.
