But what's really amazing is what it does to you inside.”

Chris, patient

“Measured surgery, honest counsel, and a result built to age well rather than announce itself.”

Our Focus

We focus on the face. Every patient's concern is specific, and addressing it well requires understanding both what's surgically possible for your anatomy as well as what is most likely to achieve your goals. Surgery may not be the right option, and when that is the case, we say so plainly.

Our Standard

Measured surgery and results that age well rather than announcing themselves. The goal in every procedure is being undetectable.

Our Counsel

The happiest patients are the ones who make the decision to undergo surgery fully informed about the risks, recovery, and limitations of the procedure.

BEHIND
the OR DOORS

A double board-certified facial plastic surgeon in Bountiful, Utah, focused on natural, lasting work.

A double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery. Plastic surgery of the face and hair transplantation are the central focus of his practice.

He completed his fellowship training at the Quatela Center for Plastic Surgery with Dr. Vito Quatela, MD. Dr. Quatela has trained one fellow per year throughout his career, and Dr. Manning was his 26th, joining a long lineage of surgeons trained in that prestigious practice.

His focuses are facelifts, neck lifts, rhinoplasty, brow lifts, blepharoplasty, hair transplants, and laser resurfacing.

The Standard

What to look for in a facial plastic surgeon.

The right questions matter more than any single before-and-after. Here is the standard worth holding a surgeon to — and how Dr. Manning practices.

Board certification
Double board-certified — American Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS) and American Board of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery (ABOHNS).
Fellowship training
Fellowship-trained under Dr. Vito Quatela, MD, in Rochester, New York — one of a single fellow accepted per year.
Focus
A face-only practice. Dr. Manning operates on the face, neck, and hair — not the whole body — so the entire practice is built around facial anatomy.
Who performs your surgery
Dr. Manning personally performs every procedure. Your surgery is not delegated to a trainee.
Transparency
Every consultation ends with an itemized quote — surgeon's fee, facility fee, and anesthesia fee stated plainly, with no surprises.
Counsel
When surgery is not the right answer, we say so. Recommendations are made conservatively and in your interest.
