Biography: Dr. James P. Manning is a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon and head and neck surgeon (otolaryngology) in Salt Lake City, UT. He is currently board-eligible and completing the same highly-competitive fellowship that Dr. Thompson completed in 2005 with Dr. Vito Quatela, the former AAFPRS president and current IFFPSS (International Federation of Facial Plastic Surgery Societies) president. He will be board-certified upon meeting all requirements for surgical practice. Dr. Manning was carefully selected to join Utah Facial Plastics in 2022 by Drs. Thompson and Henstrom not only for his extensive training and educational accomplishments, but also his passion for elevating confidence through the art of facial plastic surgery and non-surgical treatments, which is in complete alignment with the mission and nationwide reputation of Utah Facial Plastics. After receiving his Bachelor's degree cum laude from Brigham Young UniversityIdaho in 2011, he went on to the prestigious University of Washington where he received his M.D in 2016. Determined to further expand his educational training, he began his residency at the University of Rochester where he completed his studies and is now practicing at Utah Facial Plastics. In addition to his vast training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, he is extensively trained in hair transplantations for men and women including eyebrow and beard transplantations. Dr. Manning's specialties include rhinoplasty, facelift, browlift & eyelid surgery, chin augmentation, fat grafting, lip lift surgery, brow reduction surgery, otoplasty, scar revision and especially deep neck contouring (a procedure that specifically benefits younger patients looking to define the neck and jaw line). He is a firm believer that surgical and non-surgical treatments go hand in hand to restore and maintain a youthful appearance and is also thoroughly trained in injectables, laser resurfacing, facial vein removal (sclerotherapy) and lip augmentation. Beyond his many talents in medicine, Dr. Manning is musically gifted and played the acoustic guitar in a bluegrass band for many years, as well as being a loving father who enjoys playing sports and being active with his family. Surgery is his passion and he has found great satisfaction and personal fulfillment in participating in medical missions (many with Dr. Thompson), treating children with congenital malformations in Guatemala and Ecuador. As a fluent Spanish speaker, Dr. Manning greatly enjoys connecting with patients and families on his medical missions and is thrilled to serve patients of the Latino community in the Salt Lake Region and beyond.
