Florence Mussat MD, SC

General Practitioners

Medical Weight Loss
Many benefits come with dramatic weight loss, but underlying tissue and skin often lack the flexibility to conform to the smaller body size.
Emergency Care
Itâ€™s all a matter of patient safety; a recent study published in the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery journal has shown that overweight and obese patients are 35% more likely to visit the emergency room due to complications from reconstructive or cosmetic procedures. Another study by John Hopkins showed that overall, complications were 12 times more likely to happen for overweight patients than patients with a healthy BMI. Overweight patients also had a higher risk of severe side effects within just 30 days after their procedure.
Electrocardiogram
Following a health evaluation by your physician or our internist, you can expect blood tests and an EKG. Also, you will be provided with a list of medications and other products to avoid before and after the procedure. Nicotine must be avoided for two weeks before your operation, as should alcohol.

Ophthalmologists

Glaucoma
UPNEEQ can also increase the risks for patients with glaucoma. The best way to determine your UPNEEQ candidature is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Mussat at her surgical center in Chicago.
Cataracts
This cosmetic and potential functional issue typically develops later in life, but can affect adults of all ages. The problem manifests when eyelid muscles stretch and weaken, causing your upper eyelids to droop. Other issues that may cause this concern include wearing contact lenses, cataract surgery, or having an underlying medical condition.
Cataract Surgery

Pregnancy
Pregnancy and childbirth after a tummy tuck are safe for both you and your baby. Your little one will have plenty of room to grow and thrive, and the best way to preserve the results of your procedure will be to avoid gaining too much weight during the pregnancy.
Labor and Delivery
Vaginal birth might have caused the labia to stretch considerably to allow the baby to pass through the birth canal. Alternatively, a congenital disability, something with which a woman may be born, could have caused this enlarged size.

Mental Health
It would be best if you were in good overall physical and mental health and without any active diseases or serious pre-existing medical conditions.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care

Ultrasound
To start the traditional liposuction procedure, Dr. Mussat makes a very small incision in the treatment area. When removing large volumes of fat, she might introduce a tumescent solution, comprised of saline and a local anesthetic, into the treatment area to facilitate fat removal and minimize bleeding. Dr. Mussat then inserts a thin, hollow tube called a cannula through the incision, through which she suctions out the unwanted fat cells. Dr. Mussat may also use ultrasound or vibrating energy to assist in fat removal.

General Surgery
Born and raised in Paris, she graduated with Honors from the University R. Descartes School of Medicine of Paris in 1984. While in medical school, Dr Mussat worked as a surgical assistant for several plastic surgeons in Paris, after which, she developed a passion for Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery. She completed her general surgery residency training and a critical care Fellowship at The State University of New York Health Science Center at Brooklyn, NY, as well as a Microvascular Research fellowship at Mount Sinai Medical Center in NYC, NY.
Cyst Removal
Ear Surgery
Ear surgery, or otoplasty, is to resculpt and reshape the larger than average ears by setting prominent ears back closer to the head. Otoplasty can reshape deformed or protruding ears.If you are interested in learning more about otoplasty, please contact our practice today for further information.
Reconstructive Surgery
Dr. Florence Mussat, a Board-Certified Plastic and Reconstructive surgeon in Downtown Chicago, has a passion for Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery and has been in private practice for over 20 years. She strives to provide the best mommy makeover surgery in Chicago.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox

Brow Lift
Brow lift is a procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper face. The position of the eyebrows is elevated and wrinkles in the forehead are decreased. This procedure will help create a softer, relaxed and rejuvenated look which will result in a more youthful appearance. A brow lift can be performed in conjunction with other facial procedures such as a facelift or eyelid surgery. Dr. Mussat will help you determine if a brow lift is right for you during your consultation.
Eyelid Surgery
Have reasonable expectations for what eyelid surgery can accomplish â€” that is, they seek aesthetic improvement, not necessarily perfection
Liposuction
If you follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly, but still suffer from stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to your efforts, consider undergoing liposuction surgery with Chicago plastic surgeon Dr. Florence Mussat. Dr. Mussat performs liposuction to remove localized fat deposits from nearly any area of the body, for a slimmer, sleeker look.
Breast Augmentation
Is a certainty at some point in the years that follow breast augmentation. Breast implants are not lifetime devices, as women considering breast augmentation will learn from their surgeon. It may become necessary to review their options for dealing with the health problems caused by implants later in their lifetimes.
Breast Reduction
For many women, having extremely large, pendulous breasts is not as glamorous as other individuals may think it is. Women with overly enlarged breasts may feel self-conscious about their figure, or perhaps even embarrassed. They may hide their breasts under layers of clothes and avoid engaging in certain activities that are painful, such as jogging. If this sounds familiar, consider having breast reduction surgery with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Florence Mussat. Dr. Mussat can decrease the size of your breasts, so you are comfortable but still look like yourself.
Breast Lift
Has time, the effect of gravity, pregnancy or breastfeeding taken a toll on the look of your breasts? Do you miss the breasts of your youth, which were perky and lifted high on the chest wall? If you said â€œyesâ€ to these questions, you might benefit from undergoing cosmetic breast lift surgery (mastopexy) with female plastic surgeon Dr. Florence Mussat. With breast lift surgery, Dr. Mussat lifts breasts to a more youthful-looking and aesthetically pleasing position on the chest wall.
Breast Reconstruction
). This federal law provides certain rights and protections to patients after a mastectomy. Most health insurance plans that cover mastectomies are required by this law to cover breast reconstruction, prostheses, and physical complications of all stages of mastectomy, including lymphedemaâ€”swelling caused by lymph nodesâ€™ removal part of cancer treatment. Men are covered by the law too.
Plastic Surgery
At our plastic surgery practice in Chicago, IL, the focal point of our treatment philosophy is harmony. True beauty derives from developing a harmony between the way you look and the way it makes you feel inside. Loving the skin you’re in is powerful, and it opens up many new doors and possibilities when it radiates from your core. Autologous fat transfer, more commonly just called fat transfer or fat grafting, is a wonderful, safe way to shape areas of your body you’re not so happy with, while also naturally enhancing other areas of your body that make both your inner and outer beauty shine.
Thigh Lift
A thigh lift reshapes the thighs by reducing excess skin, and in some cases fat, resulting in smoother skin and better-proportioned contours of the thighs and lower body.
Face Lift
When you peer in the mirror, are you frustrated with your reflection? Do you feel your facial appearance makes you look older than your actual age? If so, consider undergoing cosmetic facelift surgery with Dr. Florence Mussat, a talented facial rejuvenation surgeon in Chicago. With facelift surgery, Dr. Mussat can tighten and lift the soft tissues of the face, for a more youthful, rejuvenated look.
Neck Lift
If you feel you have signs of aging such as loss of contour, sagging or excess skin or fat in your jowl or neck area, you may be a good candidate for a face or neck lift. Dr. Florence Mussat, a talented facial rejuvenation surgeon in Chicago, helps prospective patients determine their goals for aesthetic improvement. With facelift surgery, Dr. Mussat can tighten and lift the soft tissues of your face and give you a more youthful, rejuvenated look.
Blepharoplasty
Over time, the body gradually stops producing collagen and elastin, proteins that are essential for healthy, elastic skin. Without these proteins, the skin loses its elastic quality and starts to sag. Muscle tone degenerates and fat is displaced. These cosmetic effects of the natural aging process can affect nearly any area of the body â€” including the eye region. The result is often drooping upper eyelids that, when severe enough, can impede the line of vision and / or sagging lower eyelids, which can lead to the look of dark circles or â€œbagsâ€ under the eyes. To improve these aesthetic concerns relating to the eyelids, Dr. Mussat performs blepharoplasty.
Abdominoplasty
Do you follow a healthy diet and maintain a consistent fitness routine, yet still cannot achieve the lean, sexy stomach you desire? Do you have loose skin that hangs off the abdomen? If so, you might benefit from having abdominoplasty, or tummy tuck surgery, with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Florence Mussat.
Nose Surgery
Some procedures are fairly similar for men and women. Eyelid surgery, nose surgery, and facial-implant surgery are good examples. With these procedures, be sure to speak to your surgeon about what result youâ€™re looking for. If you are seeking for a more masculine look to your facial features, such as a chin with better projection, more prominent cheekbones, or a stronger nose, Dr. Mussat can help you accomplish these results.

Scar Revision
Most insurance carriers allow patients to receive follow-up care for 90 days after their procedure. This is called a â€œglobal period.â€ Care beyond this period typically will not be covered. Insurance carriers also generally do not cover the cost of subsequent revision surgeries. (E.g., if you wish to have scar revision performed a year after your procedure, you will need to pay for it out of pocket.)
Body Contouring
