Breast Implant Removal
Breast implant removal addresses complications like capsular contracture, implant rupture, or patient preference for explantation. Dr. Mussat employs meticulous techniques to remove implants and surrounding scar tissue, minimizing risks and restoring natural breast contours. Patients often seek this procedure for health concerns or aesthetic adjustments, with options to combine it with breast lifts or fat transfer for enhanced results.
Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery corrects sagging caused by aging, pregnancy, or weight loss. Dr. Mussat tailors incision patterns to each patient's anatomy, repositioning nipples and tightening skin for a youthful appearance. This procedure alleviates physical discomfort and boosts confidence by restoring breast symmetry and firmness through personalized surgical planning.
Liposuction
Liposuction targets stubborn fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, thighs, and arms. Dr. Mussat uses advanced techniques, including ultrasound-assisted and tumescent methods, to sculpt the body with minimal scarring. Ideal candidates maintain stable weight and seek definition rather than significant weight loss, achieving streamlined results through customized treatment plans.
Facelift
Facelifts reverse visible aging signs by tightening facial muscles and removing excess skin. Dr. Mussat focuses on natural-looking rejuvenation, addressing jowls, wrinkles, and sagging to restore a vibrant appearance. The procedure combines technical precision with artistic insight, ensuring balanced, long-lasting outcomes that align with each patient's aesthetic goals.
Medical Weight Loss
Medical weight loss programs utilize FDA-approved medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide to support sustainable weight reduction. Dr. Mussat's team provides personalized plans integrating nutrition, exercise, and hormonal balance to address underlying health issues. This science-driven approach ensures safe, effective results tailored to individual metabolic needs.

Questions
Does insurance cover breast implant removal?
Coverage depends on medical necessity. If implants were placed post-mastectomy, removal may be covered under the Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act. Our team assists with pre-authorization and documentation.
What is the recovery time for liposuction?
Most patients resume light activities within a week and strenuous tasks after 4-6 weeks. Recovery duration varies based on treated areas and individual healing rates.
Can a breast lift be combined with other procedures?
Yes, breast lifts are often paired with implants, reductions, or tummy tucks during mommy makeovers for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Are financing options available?
Yes, we offer financing through American Healthcare Lending for qualified patients seeking cosmetic procedures not covered by insurance.
What qualifications does Dr. Mussat hold?
Dr. Mussat is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, an assistant clinical professor at UIC, and holds memberships in the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and Ordre National des Médecins (France).
How does BMI affect cosmetic surgery eligibility?
A BMI under 30 is ideal for optimal safety and results. Patients with higher BMIs face increased risks, so we recommend achieving a stable, healthy weight before procedures like tummy tucks or liposuction.
