Surgeons have invited Dr. Steven Mobley to teach his techniques across the United States, in Germany and in the Middle East. The Salt Lake City facial plastic surgeon has been a visiting professor at two German universities, Marburg and Regensburg, and an invited speaker in Egypt and Mexico. He has given more than 85 lectures to fellow surgeons at national and international meetings, including the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. He has also served as Course Co-Chairman of a national AO North America course that trains surgeons in facial trauma and reconstruction. He has authored more than 50 published works, including peer-reviewed journal articles and chapters in the very textbooks surgeons learn from, such as the otoplasty chapter in Bailey’s Head & Neck Surgery, and has guest-edited three issues of facial plastic surgery journals.

Dr. Steven Mobley holds his own U.S. patent for a unique nasal septum splint, which he often uses in complex nasal surgeries. His patent-pending inventions include a specialized surgical clamp for deep plane facelifts, a neck retractor and the Mobley Chin Implant. He performs surgery at Millcreek Surgical Suite in Salt Lake City, Utah, an AAAASF-accredited outpatient surgical facility where he serves as Medical Director, and holds full surgical privileges at St. Mark’s Hospital. Dr. Mobley is also affiliated with the Intermountain Health system.

As he built his career as a facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Mobley was mentored by Dr. Rick Davis, Dr. Robert Simons, Dr. Regan Thomas and Dr. Gary Burget, who taught him that a great surgeon must be a counselor, an artist and an engineer: the counselor listens closely to the patient’s needs, the artist creates the vision for the patient’s solution, and the engineer uses exacting technique to achieve the desired result.

A life of giving back. As a second-generation surgeon, Dr. Mobley was raised to give back to the community he serves. His interest in facial surgery became personal at 19, when he had otoplasty himself. He went on to found the Mobley Foundation for Charitable Surgery, a 501(c)(3) that provides free ear pinning surgery for school-aged children who are bullied for prominent ears. He is a volunteer surgeon with FACE TO FACE, the AAFPRS Foundation’s national program that provides free reconstructive surgery to survivors of domestic violence, and for more than a decade his practice has supported Raise the Future, which helps Utah foster youth find permanent families. In all, Dr. Mobley and his practice have given more than $100,000 in pro bono surgery and charitable donations, including support for police and veterans’ charities. His charitable work earned him the American Red Cross Hero Award and has been featured nationally on Inside Edition.

A trusted voice on Utah TV and radio. Over more than two decades, Salt Lake City media have turned to Dr. Mobley as a trusted medical expert. He hosted his own radio program, The Dr. Mobley Health Hour, on 570 AM; served as a TV health reporter for ABC4, where he reported on local health segments on the evening news and appeared twice a month on Good Things Utah to discuss a broad variety of health topics with viewers; and has been interviewed as an expert on KSL 5 (NBC), including KSL’s Studio 5, and on Fox 13 News. Nationally, his work has also been featured on Good Morning America and in People and Cosmopolitan. Outside the operating room, Dr. Mobley and his wife, who helps run the practice, enjoy Utah’s mountains and beautiful year-round weather with their two sons.
