Manning Facial Plastic Surgery

From Dr. Manning

A note on why I write here

I'm Dr. James Manning — a double board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon based in the Salt Lake City area. This journal is where I go deeper than a service page allows.

I specialize exclusively in the face, helping patients achieve natural, refined results through rhinoplasty, neck contouring, facial rejuvenation, and advanced hair restoration. My background in Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, followed by fellowship training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, allows me to combine surgical precision with an artistic approach to facial balance.

Through my practice and on Instagram and TikTok, I'm passionate about educating patients, demystifying procedures, and showing what thoughtful, individualized care really looks like behind the scenes. I believe confidence comes from subtle, intentional enhancement — not drastic change.

This is where I'll go deeper — into facial aesthetics, surgical decision-making, recovery realities, and the techniques shaping the future of the field.

Whether you're considering a procedure or simply curious about the science and artistry behind facial refinement, you'll find honest education and an expert perspective here. Thank you for reading — I'm glad to share this space with you.

Shall We Begin?

Begin with a conversation.

Every plan starts the same way: a private consultation centered on your anatomy, your goals, and an honest sense of what the right next step is — surgery, non-surgical refinement, or simply more time.
