Facial Plastic Surgery Backed by Functional Expertise
Choosing facial plastic surgery is more than changing appearance. Many facial procedures affect breathing, facial movement, eyelid function, and long-term structural support.
At ENT Specialty Care, Dr. Nathan Johnson brings a unique perspective to facial plastic surgery. His training in both facial plastic surgery and ENT allows him to understand not only how your face looks, but also how it functions.
His patient-centered approach focuses on creating results that appear natural, balanced, and uniquely suited to each individual’s facial anatomy. Patients throughout the Twin Cities and Upper Midwest trust Dr. Johnson for the following procedures:
Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)
Rhinoplasty can improve the shape, size, proportions, and overall balance of the nose while maintaining harmony with the rest of the face. In many cases, breathing concerns caused by a deviated septum, nasal valve collapse, or structural weakness can be addressed simultaneously. Dr. Johnson performs both cosmetic and functional rhinoplasty with a focus on preserving long-term nasal support and natural appearance.
Facelift Surgery
A facelift procedure restores a more youthful facial contour by repositioning deeper tissues and removing excess skin. This procedure can improve sagging cheeks, jowling, loss of jawline definition, neck laxity, and deep facial folds. The goal is not to drastically change the way you look, but to restore a refreshed, natural appearance.
Browlift
As the forehead ages, the brow may gradually descend, creating a tired or heavy appearance. A browlift elevates and reshapes the brow to open the eye area, improve brow position, reduce forehead creasing, and restore youthful facial balance. Dr. Johnson evaluates the brow and eyelids together to create the most natural rejuvenation plan.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Blepharoplasty removes or repositions excess eyelid tissue to create a more rested, youthful appearance while maintaining the patient’s natural facial character. The procedure may improve peripheral field of vision, upper eyelid hooding, excess skin, eyelid puffiness, and lower eyelid bags. In some patients, functional concerns can sometimes coexist with cosmetic concerns, allowing eyelid surgery to address both vision-related limitations and age-related aesthetic changes.
Otoplasty (Ear Reshaping)
Otoplasty, sometimes called ear pinning surgery, reshapes, repositions, or resizes the external ears. The goal is to create a natural relationship and symmetry between the ears, head, and other facial features. The procedure may be performed for prominent ears, ear asymmetry, congenital ear concerns, or post-traumatic deformities.
Otoplasty may be appropriate for children, teenagers, or adults who are concerned about the appearance of their ears. Results are designed to look natural and proportional rather than overly corrected.
Earlobe Repair
Earlobe repair restores the shape, size, and appearance of an earlobe that has been stretched, torn, split, or otherwise damaged. This office-based procedure can address torn earlobe, irregularities caused by piercings, earlobe contour, and age-related elongation. The goal is to not simply close a tear, but to reconstruct the earlobe with attention to proportion, contour, and symmetry.
Why Patients Choose Dr. Nathan Johnson
Facial plastic surgery requires a precise understanding of facial anatomy, aesthetics, and function. Dr. Johnson completed specialized fellowship training in facial plastic surgery and brings advanced expertise to both cosmetic and functional enhancement.
His philosophy is simple:

Comprehensive understanding of nasal breathing and facial function
Focus on natural-looking outcomes
