Rhinoplasty Surgery in Utah

Utah Rhinoplasty is an operation performed on the nose to change its shape to give a more pleasing and natural-looking cosmetic appearance. Dr. Mobley brings over 25 years of nasal surgery experience to every nose job he performs. He borrows the best techniques from all of the current rhinoplasty “styles”; mixing endonasal techniques, modern “open structure” rhinoplasty, as well as some of latest techniques and powered instrumentation for preservation rhinoplasty.

This balanced approach allows Dr. Mobley to curate an exact surgical plan to help you reach your rhinoplasty goals. This multi-style approach combines a traditional emphasis on a natural-looking cosmetic shape change with a particular focus on preservation of the nose anatomy (tip/alar cartilages and septum); and most importantly- preserving, often improving, nasal airflow and function.

Understanding the investment for rhinoplasty at Mobley MD starts by appreciating our commitment to quality, safety, and transparent pricing.

Your rhinoplasty fee includes three primary components: the surgeon’s fee, surgical facility fee, and anesthesia fee. The exact surgeon’s fee is determined following a detailed consultation, where Dr. Mobley conducts a thorough evaluation, discusses your aesthetic goals, and formulates a tailored surgical plan.

During the first week there will be some swelling and possibly some bruising in the upper forehead or upper eyelid region (click link for example image). Approximately one week after surgery, you’ll return to have any stitches removed. Most patients are completely ready to go back out in public 10-14 days after the operation.

In my experience, many of my patients are pleasantly surprised by the minimal amount of discomfort they have in the postoperative period. In my practice, we very rarely use packing – one of the most uncomfortable facets of facial plastic surgery; my patients greatly appreciate this. Medicine for pain is always provided. Most patients take this for 3-7 days following surgery.

If you do light (office) work, you could return to these activities four to five days after the operation. If you do more physical work, seven to ten days is more appropriate. If you care for young children at home, it is best to have someone available to help with their care for the first four to seven days.

During your consultation, I will use computer morphing software to give you an idea of how your nose will look after the operation. I will also show you before and after photos of patients that have undergone similar types of cosmetic changes to help give you realistic expectations of what can be achieved from surgery.

Dr. Mobley’s 25-plus years of experience encompasses all of the current techniques. This ranges from traditional endonasal rhinoplasty (working through the nostrils), to open structure approach (where the skin is partially lifted open). Open structure revolutionized rhinoplasty and is the under-pinning of many other techniques that reduce the likelihood of complications following a nose job. Dr. Mobley also embraces many of the techniques, and advanced instrumentation, for preservation rhinoplasty.

With all surgeries, regardless of what techniques are utilized and combined- the goal is simple- to create the most natural looking nose that fits your face and is in artistic balance with your other facial features and proportions. Also, and this is paramount- a constant emphasis on the preservation of anatomy- alar cartilages, septum and dorsum (when appropriate) combines to create the most favorable results for a nose that looks natural and maintains, (and often improves) nasal function and airflow.

Every type of surgery has risks. It’s my ethical responsibility to educate you on these risks so you can make the best possible decision for yourself while weighing these risks against the benefits of surgery. My training helps me to minimize these risks to the best of my ability, but I cannot eliminate them entirely. Common risks include stiffness in nasal tip, irregularities of bone or cartilage, damage to the nasal skin, and damage to the internal linings of the nose.

The risks above are the most common ones that I think you should be aware of, but they are not a complete list of all possible risks. When I see you in consultation and we begin to formulate your surgical treatment plan, I’ll review with you not only these common risks but also the less likely complications that may occur.
