One Surgeon for Face and Bone

Your nose, chin, jaw and neck are one connected structure, so Dr. Sloan plans them as one.

Most facial surgeons focus on either the skin and soft tissue or the bones underneath. Dr. Sloan trained in both. He earned a dental degree, a medical degree, a general surgery internship and an oral and maxillofacial surgery residency, then completed a fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.

That means a rhinoplasty can account for your bite, a chin procedure can account for your jaw, and a facelift can account for the bone structure that supports it. The goal is results that look like you, refreshed, never overdone.

Facial Plastic Surgery Procedures

Choose an area of the face to see what Dr. Sloan treats there. Every procedure starts with a one-on-one consultation at our St. George office.

Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty

Reshape the nose for balance with the rest of your face, and correct a deviated septum to breathe more easily, often in one surgery.

Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty in St. George

Nose. Also called a nose job.

Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve facial balance, proportion and symmetry while keeping a natural appearance. Whether you want to refine the nasal tip, smooth a dorsal hump or change the overall shape, Dr. Sloan tailors the plan to your facial anatomy and makes sure the aesthetic goals are matched by long-term structural support.

Septoplasty corrects a deviated nasal septum to improve airflow. The two are commonly performed together, so cosmetic and breathing concerns can be addressed in a single procedure, with benefits for breathing, sleep and nasal function.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Eyes. Upper and lower eyelids.

Blepharoplasty rejuvenates the eyes by addressing excess skin, fat and laxity of the upper and lower eyelids. Upper eyelid surgery can lift a heavy or tired look and, in some cases, improve the field of vision. Lower eyelid surgery smooths under-eye bags and reduces hollowing or puffiness for a more rested look.

The eyes are one of the most expressive features of the face, so eyelid surgery is done with great attention to subtlety and balance. The aim is not to change how you look, but to restore brightness while preserving your natural eyelid shape and expression.

Brow Lift

Brow and forehead rejuvenation.

A brow lift raises the eyebrows to restore a more open, refreshed upper face. It can soften forehead lines, reduce heaviness over the eyes and correct a brow position that has descended with age. The approach depends on your anatomy, hairline and goals.

An endoscopic brow lift uses small incisions hidden in the hairline for subtle elevation with minimal scarring. A temporal brow lift raises the outer brow and is often combined with eyelid surgery. A direct brow lift is reserved for select reconstructive or functional cases, such as facial nerve weakness or significant asymmetry.

Facelift and Neck Lift

Face and neck. For sagging skin, jowls and neck bands.

A face and neck lift restores a more youthful, refreshed appearance by addressing sagging skin, deep facial folds and loss of definition along the jawline and neck. Rather than simply pulling the skin tight, modern facelift techniques reposition the deeper tissues and muscles of the face for natural, long-lasting results that keep your character and expression.

A neck lift is often paired with a facelift to treat loose skin, banding and excess fat beneath the chin. Performed together, they restore balance between the face and neck without looking overdone.

Chin Augmentation and Jaw Surgery

Chin and jaw. Chin implant, genioplasty and orthognathic surgery.

Chin augmentation improves facial balance by increasing chin projection and definition. A silicone chin implant is a reliable option for a stronger profile and jawline with a predictable outcome and minimal downtime. A genioplasty repositions your own chin bone, allowing more precise changes to chin height, width and projection, and is often preferred when a larger structural change is needed or when it is combined with jaw surgery.

Orthognathic (corrective jaw) surgery corrects skeletal differences in the upper jaw, lower jaw or both, such as an underbite, overbite, open bite or jaw asymmetry. It is planned with 3D imaging and coordinated with orthodontic treatment, improving bite, breathing, speech and facial proportion. This is where Dr. Sloan’s oral and maxillofacial training matters most.

Buccal Fat Removal and Facial Fat Transfer

Cheeks. Contouring and volume.

Buccal fat pad removal reduces fullness in the lower cheeks through small incisions inside the mouth, creating a more contoured midface for patients with naturally rounder cheeks. Careful patient selection matters, because the face naturally loses volume with age.

Facial fat transfer does the opposite: it moves a small amount of your own fat to areas that have hollowed, such as the cheeks, under the eyes or around the mouth. It is often combined with a facelift or eyelid surgery to restore volume as well as lift.

Otoplasty (Ear Pinning)

Ears. For prominent or uneven ears.

Otoplasty reshapes and sets back ears that stick out or are uneven, bringing them into proportion with the head and face. Incisions are placed behind the ear where they are well hidden. The procedure can be performed for both children and adults once the ears have reached their mature size.

CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing

Skin. Texture, tone, lines and sun damage.

CO2 laser resurfacing improves skin texture, tone and quality by removing damaged outer layers and stimulating collagen remodeling. It treats fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars and uneven pigmentation, and it can destroy precancerous cells in the skin, a real benefit under the Southern Utah sun.

Treatment can be tailored from light resurfacing to deeper rejuvenation depending on your skin type and goals. Results develop gradually as the skin heals, revealing smoother, firmer skin.

Facial Reconstruction and Trauma Surgery

Whole face. After injury, prior surgery or congenital conditions.

Reconstructive surgery restores function and appearance after facial injury, congenital conditions or previous surgery. Treatment may involve repairing facial fractures, soft tissue injuries, nerve damage or complex deformities of the jaws, eye socket, nose or facial skeleton. Guided by precise anatomical planning, the goal is to restore symmetry, function and confidence. Learn more about facial trauma care.

Medical and surgical training

His Doctor of Medicine from the University of Nebraska, a general surgery internship and residency at the University of Nebraska Medical Center prepared him for surgery of the whole face, not only the mouth.

Dental training and fellowship

His Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of the Pacific gives him a detailed understanding of the teeth, bite and jaws. A fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery then focused that training on the facial plastic surgery procedures below.

Facial Surgery FAQs

Is Dr. Sloan a facial plastic surgeon?

Dr. Sloan is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon with fellowship training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. He holds both an MD and a DDS and performs facial plastic surgery procedures including rhinoplasty, facelifts, eyelid surgery, brow lifts, chin augmentation and CO2 laser resurfacing.

The two degrees cover medicine and surgery as well as the teeth, bite and jaws. For facial plastic surgery that means the bone structure that supports your features is part of the plan, which is especially valuable for chin, jaw and nose procedures.

Cost depends on the procedure, whether procedures are combined, and the anesthesia and facility needed. After your consultation you receive a written plan with your cost and financing options, so there are no surprises.

Cosmetic procedures are usually not covered. Some functional procedures may be, such as septoplasty for breathing problems, upper eyelid surgery when drooping lids block your vision, jaw surgery, and reconstruction after an injury. Our team can help check your benefits.

Often, yes. Common combinations include rhinoplasty with septoplasty, a facelift with a neck lift, eyelid surgery with a brow lift, and chin augmentation with rhinoplasty. Combining can mean one recovery instead of two; Dr. Sloan will tell you what is safe for your situation.

It varies by procedure. Most patients return to desk work within one to two weeks after eyelid surgery or rhinoplasty, and swelling continues to settle for weeks to months. You will get written instructions and follow-up visits at our St. George office.

No referral is needed. You can schedule a facial plastic surgery consultation with Dr. Sloan directly by calling (435) 628-1100 or contacting us online.
