Patient Testimonial
Dr Moynihan and his staff exceeded my expectations by 2000%. I researched plastic surgeons extensively for 2 years before deciding on Dr Moynihan. I received a facelift, neck lift, fat transfer, and lip lift and I am beyond pleased with the results. I look like myself but restored to the younger version me of 15 years ago. I am 55 and prior to my surgery I felt invisible. After the surgery, I get admiring looks and many compliments. It's a very rewarding and confidence boosting experience. In addition to all of that, Dr. Moynihan and his staff provide ongoing support for skin health and beauty enhancement to maintain and even improve the results of the surgery. Honestly, they feel like family. I couldn't be happier. The surgery was worth every penny. I strongly recommend Dr. Moynihan for all of your cosmetic surgery and beauty needs.

Before scheduling a Rhytidectomy, a consultation with Chicago facelift specialist Dr. Moynihan can be scheduled. At this time, he will perform a brief physical exam of the facial anatomy, review the medical history, and go over current medications. Dr. Moynihan will take some time to listen to each patient’s aesthetic desires and goals. Through Before and After photos of his previous Rhytidectomy patients, and using computer imagery, he will assist patients to visualize their potential results.
At the initial appointment, Dr. Moynihan will explain the various contour facelift procedures in detail, any potential complications, and the expected recovery process for each. If it is determined that a facelift procedure is the right fit, an individual surgical plan will be created. It is at this time the exact cost of the procedure will be determined, payment options discussed, and the medical financing options through CareCredit reviewed.
