Thomas Mustoe - Samy Sinno TLKM Plastic Surgery

dana brandt, 09 September 2020

Dr Mustoe has an unbelievable bedside manner. My son had an extreme deviated septum and unable to breathe out of his left nostril and additionally the nose was not straight. Our end goal was for him to breathe! Dr. Mustoe said he would get it as straight as he could and may not be perfect. After one month my son is able to breathe and his nose, while not perfectly straight, still looks like him and doesn't look like a 'done' nose. I would highly recommend Dr. Mustoe and his team.

Dr Mussat is a wonderful surgeon. I consulted with her in her downtown office. Upon entering her office her receptionist was welcoming and courteous. During my consultation Dr Mussat sat with me and gave me a presentation with information about my procedure. I felt that she was very thorough with her explanation. I was able to see actual footage of how she performs the procedure. This was impressive and she really took her time with me. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out that I fit the criteria for having this procedure as a medical necessity which turned out to be a covered benefit under my BCBS plan. I have since had my surgery and I’m so happy with the outcome. The only regret I have is that I didn’t have this sooner. I’m so grateful to Dr Mussat and this has been truly a blessing for me.

I had such an amazing experience at Downtown Dental. I was traveling from out of state and developed severe tooth pain and they were able to fit me in next day. Youstina and Allison made me feel so comfortable and assured I received adequate care at their offices!

Avery Scott, 21 September 2020

I had my nose done in 2015 and it was for breathing and beauty with an emphasis on beauty. Since then I’ve married and now have one beautiful child. I still see Dr Shah for fillers and Botox although now I mostly see his wife. To say this is the best thing that has happened is the understatement of the century. I am literally better looking and breathing than I ever thought possible. I recommend him and his staff to all of my friends and family

The Art Of Plastic Surgery - Gregory A. Wiener, MD. FACS
4.1

From 23 verified reviews

Midhada Kendic, 24 June 2020

At first I wasn't sure how I became so at ease about proceeding with the surgery but than I came across this picture of Dr. Gregory Weiner in a wig during what appeared to be a Holloween celebration and It all made sense. On a more serious note, I can't say enough about this team at The Art of Plastic Surgery in Chicago. From the day of consultation to the day of surgery I knew I was in good hands. I have nothing but admiration for his attention to details, diligence and exceptional bedside manners. There's many MDs on social media receiving millions of likes and for that reason I was going to fly to New York without knowing an exceptional surgeon works in my back yard. Anyway, I still don't know what my nose looks like, heck maybe I don't even have a nose but I'm at ease because I know I chose the most knowledgeable and kind hearted people in Chicago. I'm going through a smooth recovery I'm almost scared that something might be very wrong because I didn't take one pain pill during the whole time. I'm having that emotional moment again, don't be all surprised now he he. I can't imagine having missed this experience in life.

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery of Chicago
4.0

From 26 verified reviews

Lee Kinkade, 11 August 2020

I had a vertically fractured tooth that needed to be surgically extracted. My dentist refered me here, and I am very pleased with the results. The oral surgeon explained the possible treatments clearly, and respected my wish to not do a human bone transplant and suggested an alternative, BMP, to stimulate growth so I could later get a transplant and a crown. The extraction went very smoothly, with very good numbing, so I did not have pain during the procedure. He gave me good advice on how to manage with OTC pain meds and I never needed to use any from the prescibed pain killers. At two weesks out, it is healing nicely and I have not needed any painkillers for a week. They worked with my HMO insurance and were very clear about what was covered and what was not and there there no surprises in billing. I am now planning to have them do the implant in the coming months. The office staff were helpful and kind and very clear in their communications. The office was comfortable and pleasant.

    MyMediTravel has teamed up with Doctors, Surgeons, and Clinics to offer you a fabulous selection of Plastic and Cosmetic surgery procedures. Many of our customers shared the same opinion that Plastic Surgery and Cosmetic Surgery were actually the same. So what is the difference? While both plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery aim to improve a patient’s body, there are differences:

    Plastic Surgery is reconstructive surgery aimed at reconstructing the burnt, cut, or damaged part of the body. Functional abnormalities due to accidents, burns, injuries, cancers, fractures, tumors, medical impairments, congenital defects including cleft palate, cleft lip, spina bifida, etc., fractured body parts are also treated under plastic surgery. The most common reconstructive procedure is the redevelopment of removed breasts in cancer patients, hand surgery, and the removal of tumors.

    Cosmetic surgery or aesthetic surgery is involved in enhancing your physical beauty. It is not for the treatment of any disease or ailment. Your physical appearance is changed according to your desire by performing surgery. Facial features are altered by reshaping of the nose, chin implants, lip implants, brow lifting, eyelid lifting, and face lifting. Butt implants, breast implants, breast lift. and neck contouring is also prevalent. The likes of liposuction and Tummy Tucks also fall under this category.

    Plastic Surgery Treatments

    The procedures vary according to the purpose for which surgery is being performed. The following are some of the procedures used in plastic surgery:

    • Skin Grafting involves taking a healthy piece of skin from a Donor Site and implanting onto a damaged Recipient Site. 
    • Flap Surgery, in this type of plastic surgery a piece of flesh is transferred from one body part to the other. This piece of tissue carries its own blood supply and heals faster. It is used to treat the more complicated type of disorders.
    • Tissue Expansion, as the name indicates, the body grows extra tissue by the extension of the surrounding skin. A device called an expander is used in this method. It is a balloon-like machine that is inserted under the skin near the defected area which needs to be repaired. This is filled with saltwater allowing the skin to expand and grow.
    • Microsurgery, in this technique, very small sutures are used to connect arteries, veins, and nerves in the transplanted tissue. It makes the healing process rapid.   

    Length of Stay in Chicago

    This also depends upon the type of surgery being performed. Complex surgeries require a long stay in the hospital. For example, if someone is going through reconstructive surgery for burns, the duration of stay in the hospital depends upon the percentage of the burnt area. It is referred to as total body surface area burnt (TBSA%). In cases of severe burns, the stay is longer. For breast tumor removal two methods are used. In a lumpectomy, only the tumor along with some surrounding tissue is removed and the patient is discharged the same day. While in the case of mastectomy, the whole breast tissue is removed leaving the chest flat. It requires an overnight stay at the hospital. 2 days are needed if the breasts are reconstructed after the removal of the tumor. Similarly, different cosmetic surgeries require a different stay at hospital time. Butt lift surgery demands variable time which depends on your pain tolerance and healing speed. But in most cases, a minimum of 10-14 days post-op stay in Chicago is required for the removal of stitches and for follow up checks, etc.

    Recovery Time

    This too depends upon the type of surgery performed. It is advised to give yourself plenty of time for recovery. This will make you happy if you recover in less than the estimated time. In the case of a breast transplant, you can return to work after 5-7 days. In three months, the swelling subsides and the breasts get proper size and shape. Butt lift surgery demands four months for complete recovery. Liposuction has varying recovery times, depending on the area of the body from which fat is removed. Vaginal rejuvenation requires 3 to 6 weeks for recovery in which you need to abstain from sexual intercourse. Rhinoplasty shows an early setting within one month. However, complete results are seen after 1 year. Facelift and eyelid surgery requires 2 to 3 week recovery time.

    Success Rate

    Plastic surgeries are not always successful. Physical conditions of a patient are considered before undergoing surgery, and those with the least health risks are allowed to go through the operation. The success rate is higher if the subject is fit, both physically and mentally. Although the success rate is high, surgery can still go wrong. In the case of plastic surgery gone wrong, your body might become de-shaped, but surgeons are well equipped and well experienced enough to correct this as quickly as possible, which is why you must not fly home immediately after surgery.

    Aftercare

    Plastic surgery is a wide field, with many operations coming under this category, and aftercare for every surgery is different. Following are some tips for aftercare:

    1. Visit your doctor on a regular basis and follow his/her guidelines.
    2. Make sure that you have someone with you because recovery can take some time.
    3. Ask your doctor about a healthy diet plan. Eat nutritious food according to that plan.
    4. Take some days off work. Take rest and avoid un-necessary exercise and movement.
    5. Drink a lot of water.
    6. Do not take medicines on your own because some pain killers can increase inflammation.

    Alternatives to Plastic Surgery

    • Microdermabrasion: in this method, fine crystals are rapidly sprayed onto the skin removing superficial dead skin layer.
    • Botox: Botulinum Toxin is injected into the skin which temporarily paralyzes your muscles causing skin lines and wrinkles.
    • CoolSculpting: This technique works by freezing the adipocytes present under your skin. These are crystallized and ultimately killed. After that, your body will digest them leaving fat free skin.
    • Ultherapy: This involves using ultrasound energy for skin tightening giving smooth and healthy skin.
    • Facial Fillers: these are long term, short term, or permanent fillers. Which improves your skin quality without surgery.
    • Bio Stimulators: these are the boosters of collagen production. Increased collagen gives tight and youthful skin.

    In the case of reconstructive surgery, breast prostheses may be considered an alternative to breast implants. Prostheses are an artificial body part. Artificial breasts are worn inside a suitable bra giving the appearance of natural breasts. It is useful for those who do not want to go for reconstructive surgery.  

    Before and After

    The visible difference is seen before and after going through plastic surgery. In reconstructive surgeries, your body parts are reconstructed such as breasts. While in cosmetic surgery your physical appearance is altered.
