"Dr. Howland is wonderful and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I consulted with another 5 star Top plastic surgeon but chose Dr. Howland because he was able to treat everything I wanted in one procedure and did an INCREDIBLE job as well as his warm disposition! I am so grateful. I always wanted a breast reduction and finally am in a size i am so happy with! They look AMAZING! He is very personable, is down to earth and has wonderful bedside manner. This is coming from a nurse! He listened to all of my concerns and took great care me. I don't typically do reviews unless I am compelled however I just had to give him the review that he deserves. These procedures are not a joke and they should be treated in kind. He was great! His staff is wonderful and responsive and there around the clock if you need them. I would recommend him 1000x over!"
"Dr. Howland is amazing. Just now writing long overdue review. Had breast reduction. It changed my life. He is the best at his craft."
"AMAZING!!! I interviewed 4 Plastic Surgeons before I met with Dr Howland and the minute I met him I knew he was my Surgeon. Best decision I could have made. My body reacted poorly to my Surgery...nothing to do with Dr Howland. His whole Office jumped in. The Nurses are TOP NOTCH...Jenn my girl..Avery who came to the Hospital to assist with a procedure...and everyone else even if not mentioned by name. Melissa at the Front Desk is like a Girlfriend. They have the best formula for choosing a Team. The other Plastic Surgeons that came to help...and called to check up on me. Dr Howland is always available by cell phone. No matter where or what he is doing Despite what happened I LOVE my results..BETTER than I had dreamed...would go back here for anything else, and refer anyone I know here!!! You feel like Family here...not a Patient Thank You to Everyone Lorrie Tomac"

"Dr Nick Howland was able to give me the trust I need it to go through a rough surgery for my body. I love the results i love the confidence it gave me back, his staff treated me like a queen. His incisions were perfect and you hardly can tell the incisions since it looks like a hair line. very impressive with his skills for sculpting. I totally will recommend him and use him again."
"Dr Howlands office was really great at taking good care of me! He made me feel so comfortable and was very honest and transparent. Really professional and great hospitality :)"
"I have had two procedures done with Dr Howland. Both of them were amazing experiences. He has also worked on my wife and my daughter. There is no other surgeon I trust more than Dr Howland."
"Dr Howland is the best Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in the state of Utah. He just removed a cancerous birthmark from my 13 year old daughter last week. He has the best bedside manor in the business. I have worked with many doctors in the past and he is the gold standard. I know so many cases that he has taken on for free to help under privileged members of the community."
"I have not visited as of yet but found his information extremely helpful as my friend recently had a procedure done. And was not given so much information I found this doctor to give you so much great information as to what to expect after surgery when most doctors do not tell you what will happen after have a procedure. She feels better knowing how normal these feelings she was feeling. This doctor explains so much to expect. I would love to meet him someday for a procedure i may want. Though bos office is far from me, I would absolutely consider him."
"Dr Howland truly changed my life with my post weightloss mommy makeover! Even though I was higher risk from being a weight loss surgery patient I had no complications at all and my scars are so clean. Worth every penny"
"This was my first cosmetic surgery and I’m so happy with my results! The first week of recovery was rough but now I’m 2 weeks post op and am in love 😍 Dr. Howland was very professional and is very talented. Staff was also super friendly and made me feel comfortable during all visits, including post op appts. Definitely recommend!!"
"I just wanted to tell Dr. Howland that he is amazing and he has a wonderful staff. I am very pleased with my reduction and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Dr. Howland is great to work with and always made me feel comfortable and he staff has always been so nice on any pre-op or post-op visit. Plus Dr. Howland wears cool shoes. Thank you Dr. Howland."
"When you book with Dr. Howland you are getting the best of the best! I’m so pleased with my mommy makeover and the pristine and meticulous care that I was given by not only Dr. Howland, but his entire staff. From the ladies at the front desk, to the nurses in the back and in the surgical center, I was treated with the upmost kindness and care by all. My questions were answered and any fears I had before surgery were answered to my liking. Dr. Howland is passionate about his work and has an amazing skill to help us feel better about ourselves. I’m so glad I took this journey with Dr. Howland and his office. You won’t be disappointed with him or with the amazing results that you’ll get. Thank you Dr. Howland and Premier Surgical Center. Thank you!!"
"Dr. Howland is by far one of the best doctors in North America, I say that with the utmost confidence. It’s one thing to get the job done exceptionally but to also be such an incredible human is another. Nicholas is everything you’d want for your plastic surgery needs. I would fly miles to have him be in charge of any procedures I’d need done!"
"Dr. Howland and his staff went above and beyond to make my experience Amazing. I've seen other plastic surgeons in the past and I will say I will not be going to anyone else other than Howland. His work is so precise, and approach toward his patients is very Professional and Sympathetic. He is an expert at what he does! I would recommend Dr. Howland to anyone looking for the best of the best!"
"Today marks two weeks since I had my Fleur-De-lis abdominoplasty with Dr. Howland and I don’t think there are enough words of gratitude I can say! Not only is Dr. Howland an amazingly skilled surgeon, but he truly cares about each one of his patients as well. After having a large weight loss if 180 pounds, I knew I still wasn’t comfortable in my own skin. I never thought that I would be able to look down and see a flat tummy, and then I meet Dr. Howland! Walking from his office after my first week post-op checkup where I had the bandages removed and I saw my own skin for the first time, I was with my mom and she asked how I was feeling. I looked at her and broke down in tears! This was the first time EVER I started to feel like the inner self was starting to show. This was the first time ever I was able to see my toes when I looked down. Thank you Dr. Howland for helping me and for making such a huge difference in my health, my life, and my confidence! I sure hope we can do another project together!!!"

"After several consultations with several surgeons, I knew instantly Dr Howland was the best fit for me. From my very first consultation to post surgery, Dr Howland and his team have been very helpful. They were always available to answer my many questions, & extra supportive. As excited as I was, I was also very nervous, but Dr Howland and his team had a way to make me feel at ease. I recommend anyone and everyone to Dr Howland. He is a wealth of knowledge and has a top notch team standing behind him."
"Experience at Dr. Howland’s office was amazing the staff is friendly Very welcoming!!!

"Howland came highly recommended and exceeded all expectations!! I am so absolutely Thrilled with my results ; everything feels so natural. Recovery was fully explained to me. Love the staff!! Seriously can’t recommend enough!"
"Dr. Howland and his staff are very thoughtful and engaged. I appreciated their anticipating my needs and their availability to answer questions. Dr. Howland's surgical skills are amazing and I love my results! I'd lost 130 lbs and he helped restore my body. I have booked another surgery on my arms with him."
"Dr. Howland did an amazing job with my breast augmentation. Quick appointments, very easy to get ahold of. Any questions I had were responded to immediately even after business hours. I felt very well taken care of."
"Dr. Howland and his staff were amazing! Something that i loved about him and his team was the promptness. They answer the phone even after hours and if you need help with a prescription they will send it in even to another state. He prescribed all the precautionary like blood thinners, antibiotics and leg pumps to keep the circulation moving. My recovery was so smooth. I never had a problem I went home with free Silagen scar gel, a faja plus free botox!! My body looks amazing! I had an MMO and I am 6 weeks post op. Since day one they have made me comfortable even with all my questions. I would highly recommend him to anyone! Thank you Dr. Howland for the boost of confidence!!"
"It’s a wild, lovely, and scary thing, watching your body stretch and change before your eyes. Growing tiny humans will do that to you sometimes! I wanted to feel great about my stomach again and after working hard for years i realized there was just no more i could do myself. Insert Dr Howland! From my first consultation, Dr Howland and his staff were so helpful and kind. He didn’t ever once tell me how i should look, he only asked me lots of questions about what I wanted and what my ideal end result looked like in my head. He and his staff took the time to walk me through the process (one time for over an hour of questions!) and helped me know what to expect. Dr Howland is truly an artist! I have been so so pleased with my results. I cannot recommend him enough!"
"After going to several doctors, I am beyond grateful I went with Dr. Howland. He is truly the best. Not only is Dr. Howland amazing, his staff is top notch! I love going into his office. If you want the BEST plastic surgeon in Utah, Dr. Howland is it! I won't go to anyone else."
"I absolutely loved my experience with Dr. Howland. His staff and him are fabulous and so helpful. I'm so happy with my results. I look way better than I had anticipated. I am completely pleased with how I look. I would recommend him to anyone."
"Dr. Howland and his staff are a DREAM to work with!! I traveled from out of state and from making the initial consult all the way to post op questions, Dr. Howland and his staff have been nothing but friendly, funny, prompt and professional. I’m a mom of 5 and Dr. Howland gave me back SO much confidence! he’s got amazing talent without the monster ego that comes with other plastic surgeons."
"I had several consultations before meeting Dr Howland, after my consult with him, I knew he was my dr. He was very informative of what to expect through the whole process. Post Op; he has been very responsive when I will randomly contact him. I can’t say enough of how happy I am that he was the dr to preform my procedures. The staff at Premiere Plastic Surgery has been amazing as well. 10/10 recommend Dr Howland and his team!!"
"Dr. Howland completely exceeded my expectations - I had a TT, AL, and BL due to excessive skin after gastric sleeve and losing over 120lbs. Dr. Howland completely exceeded my expectations and my life is truly changed! My incisions were different (and beautiful) from so many others I'd seen, and Dr Howland even told me I could go home and wash my hair, unlike for so many people who 6 weeks later could still barely lift their arms. My breast lift with auto-augmentation unexpectedly ended up being my favorite part, I didn't lose any size and I LOVE them! Miracle worker.Updated on 7 Dec 2021:"

"I had a tummy tuck, lipo and fat transfer. Im really scared when it comes to pain. I cried way more than I probably should. I very much appreciate dr Howland and the ladies putting up with me freaking out. I feel bad about it and I’m thankful they were so calm and nice to me. Thank you. I haven’t looked to see the results and I’m scared to see it. I know they are going to be wonderful because Dr. Howland is the best."
"Dr. Howland is amazing! I have had 2 major procedures with him in the last year and he has been amazing to work with. I have referred friends to him and they have also been impressed with him. If you are contemplating plastic surgery, go see him!"
"I got my wisdom teeth removed and had stitches in for a few weeks. I couldn’t make the appointment I had with my dentist so I went to the office and had Dr. Howland remove them for me. Simple thing, but everyone was very friendly and helpful. I was in and out in 15 minutes"
"Love Dr. Howland! He is funny, caring, competent, and helpful. All the things you want in a doctor!"
"I could not have asked for a better experience with Dr. Howland and his staff. Throughout the entirety of the surgical process, pre-op and post-op, he made sure that I was comfortable, taken care of and talked me through all of my concerns/questions. Plastic surgery is a big decision to make and Dr. Howland made it very stress free. He is very present with his patients and makes sure to address all of their needs, wants and concerns. His staff is also incredibly friendly, helpful and personable. I felt very comfortable in his care and will definitely be seeing him for any plastic surgery needs/wants that I have in the future. Clarity skin, the med spa associated with Dr. Howland, is also incredible. The injectors are some of the best I have seen. I have had both Botox and filler done at clarity skin and have been very very pleased with my results."
"I had a full mommy make-over and my only regret is not doing it sooner. Dr. Howland has been patient and attentive to all of my concerns. He provides you with his personal cell and has responded very quickly to all of my concerns. I originally swelled up in the breast area very excessively, which gave me the impression that I went way too large on my augmentation choice. Dr. Howland was patient and caring in my concerns and although I'm sure he had heard this before, he was very kind and told me to give it some time but that if I wasn't 100% happy with the end result, he would fix it. Turns out, he was very right. The swelling has gone down and I am completely happy with my results. I am a VERY VERY picky person and I couldn't be happier that I chose Dr. Howland for my procedure."
"I love, love, love everyone who works here! Every single person from the doctors to the nurses and the receptionists is amazing! So warm and comforting and caring and they get so excited over your progress and new look! I can't say enough good things! Will definitely be going back!!"
"Dr. Howland is the best! My entire experience with him and his staff was out of this world. His skill, bedside manner, and abundance of knowledge are top notch. I cannot recommend Dr. Howland enough and would give him one thousand stars if I could. If you've been searching for the best Plastic Surgeon out there, STOP and call his office now! You won't regret it."
"I don't even know where to start. Everything was amazing and professional from day one. Dr. Howland and ALL the staff go out of their way in every way imaginable. As an out of state patient having a consult over the phone was great. The actual surgery went better than I expected and I had little to no pain afterwards. Every time I have called into the office with a question or just for reassurance, someone takes my call ASAP. I have never had someone ask to call me back. Not sure if it is common or not but Dr. Howland even has a personal cell that I was given access to and I have reached out a few times with questions. Five minutes or less I have gotten either a response via text or call back. I can say without a doubt that I made the right choice when picking my surgeon for my mommy makeover. I am currently only six weeks post op but already excited about my results and can't wait to see what I look like once I am fully healed. 100% confident that I made the right choice."
"I was recommended to Dr. Howland by a friend that had a migraine procedure done recently because she had AMAZING results from him. The process started with getting botox injections to pinpoint where the migrations were starting. Dr. Howland's bedside manner is impeccable, personable, and totally non-judgmental. He wants what is best for MY well being and most beneficial for my lifestyle. I am hoping the botox will be able to do the same for me. Dr. Howland is extremely patient and if this process takes time, then he will work with me. He is literally heaven sent!"
"I shattered my hand in boating accident and Dr. Howland fixed me up good as new. Surgery went flawless and he communicated very well with me and my wife following the surgery. He was extremely respectful. I’d trust him in a heartbeat if I ever needed broken bones in my hand fixed and lacerations stitched. Pretty sad that people are trying to ruin his livelihood when they have never actually dealt with him as a surgeon. If you don’t like his message, don’t go to him. Don’t go and throw a little tantrum....but if you actually want someone to do an amazing job he’s your guy."
"This experience with Dr Howland and his staff has been amazing. He is an excellent surgeon and they have made sure to make me comfortable and keep me well informed through the entire process. I had a breast reduction and surgery/recovery went so much better than I anticipated. And they were always available to answer any questions or concerns. I am very happy with the results but had some concerns (not at all at the fault of dr howland) and he immediately was so understanding and offered a great solution making me feel a lot better! You can really tell that he cares about his patients and their happiness. I Will always recommended him to others and come back to him in the future if I decide to have anything else done."
"Dr. Howland is a great surgeon! He is an expert, kind, and precise. He listens and I highly recommend 5/5 Stars!!"
"Non patient and just darnit I love the guy"
"Very nice staff, Doc was Very professional and answered all my questions was very honest and did an excellent good job. I plan on returning .."
"Dr. Howland did an absolutely awesome job for me he has a fantastic bedside manner and I would recommend him to everybody"
"Dr. Howland literally changed my outlook on my future and my confidence. After a botched liposuction procedure I was left unable to wear anything but long pants and felt deformed. I was referred to Dr. Howland. He made NO promises except that I would look better than when I came in. I am so happy with my results and still not fully recovered and I know he is dedicated to making sure I am satisfied."
"I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Howland and his staff. Dr. Howland is so nice, funny and personable. You can tell he really cares about you as a patient and your personal goals. I had a breast reduction and know I made the right choice. I'm thrilled with the results! The stitching is flawless and my neck pain is gone. The staff is phenomenal too, always welcoming and taking the time to answer my questions. I was nervous the morning of my surgery and the CNAs who greeted me put me at ease right away. Dr. Howland and the whole OR team kept the amazing care going with their humor and by making sure I was comfortable. The surgery couldn't have gone smoother and I feel so much more confident now. I can't thank everyone enough!"
"From my own experience, I strongly recommended to go to Dr. Howland. He does an excellent job. You will not be disappointed."
"Great experience! I’ve had two surgeries with Dr. Howland and I would highly recommend him for any of your cosmetic surgery needs. Thanks!"
"Each morning, I wake up thanking God for Dr. Howland and is magic. To be 20 years old and have your extra large breasts touch your belly button does quite the damage to your self-esteem. Dr. Howland and his team made the process of getting my breast reduction surgery and recovery so easy. My results and scars are better than I could have ever imagined, and I have regained that confidence that I had lost. I wish I had done the procedure earlier, but I am so grateful that I found Dr. H. I will definitely be going back for any future procedures. Thanks for changing my life Dr.Howland!"
"Dr. Howland is top notch! I had a breast augmentation last year and I'm extremely happy with my results. They look perfect! The scar is very very faint and I think will get even lighter overtime. I have very fair skin so I was worried about scarring. The surgery itself was painless. I was worried I wouldn't have feeling after in certain areas but I do which I'm really happy about. All of the staff are more than happy to help answer any questions you may have and make you feel comfortable. Going under the knife can be nerve wrecking but Dr. Howland helps ease any nerves you may have."
"Dr Howland is awesome! He truly cares about his patients and their recovery. I'm so glad I decided to go with him. I highly recommend him!"
"I had a mommy makeover with Dr. Howland which included a tummy tuck and breast reduction. I am so happy with my results! Before surgery I was most worried about my breasts. I didnt know what size to say I wanted. I ended up just telling Dr. Howland to "make them the right size for me." That was the best thing I could have done! He made them absolutely PERFECT! I was also impressed with his impeccable stiching. It was so tight and precise you can hardly see the scars. Dr. Howland and his staff are so great to listen to concerns and help you through the whole process. As I have been telling all my friends, I truly believe he is the BEST plastic surgeon in Utah!"
"I had complications from another office and was fortunate enough to find Dr. Howland. It is clear that Dr. Howland cares about his patients as he has gone above and beyond working with me to resolve my complications. I highly recommend Dr. Howland as I believe it is rare to find someone that truly wants to do the right thing for his patients the way he does. His staff / nurses are also great to work with! "
"If marketing tactics (rather than services) can earn you a negative review, then marketing tactics can also earn you a positive review. Here you go!"
"Wonderful Experience with Dr. Howland - I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Howland and his staff. Thank you for always being available and answering my questions/concerns when I had them. Everyone is so nice, helpful and professional."
"Dr. Howland did amazing job. He and his staff are very responsive, informative and professional. I highly recommend Doctor Howland"
"Dr. Howland has been so invested in me and is all about what’s best for me personally."
"Dr Howl and best doctor ever, treated !e with great respect and kindnest, was always there to answer any concerns. Never had any problems with him. Had complications from breast cancer, did best to find solution when my body rejected implant."
"Dr Howland removed a fatty tumor (can't remember the correct name for it) on the back of my neck. He was great in the consult, the surgery and post surgery interactions I had with him. Friendly and communicated clearly. The surgery went well and the scar is hardly noticeable from what my wife tells me."
"Dr Howland is amazing! I had breast augmentation and a tummy tuck done from another doctor and wasn't happy with the scaring and long term results. I went to Howland for revisions.. my areolas had stretched out because my original doctor didn't do the right kind of stitching.. also, my belly button stuck out because the stock was too long once the fat was removed and the doctor said he couldn't fix it without doing the surgery again. Dr. Howland fixed both without redoing the surgery. It's been 2 years now and I LOVE the results!! He pays close attention to the details and worked very patiently with me until we got it right. Best experience ever! I highly recommend him!"
"Dr. Howland performed surgery on the face of our 3-year-old daughter after she was bitten by a dog. He was incredible! He was very patient with her as she was worried about everything that was going on in the aftermath of a traumatic experience. He was thorough, put together a great game plan, and the surgery went very well! We highly recommend him to everyone we know! His professionalism and bedside manner were first class!"
"Professional and upfront on how things would go and what options I had available to me. I had a great experience with reconstructing and saving my thumb from an accident. Great staff and so glad my regular doctor recommended Dr. Howland and his team."
"I had a breast reduction and experienced some awful post surgery complications. I had to go into the office sometimes a couple times a week, BUT Dr Howland, and his amazing staff were sooo compassionate. My hand was literally held, they let me cry, sometimes swear with no judgement. Dr Howland has a great personality and is genuinely concerned about his patient and their happiness with their outcome. His staff are absolutely the best."
"I had breast reduction done by Dr Howland. He and his staff made me feel so co for table and at ease. He is very compassionate and was right there for me to answer any questions I had. I had a few post op problems but I was always taken care of by him and his staff."
"Hands Down one of the greatest Surgeons! He made me feel completely comfortable, confident, and at peace with my procedure. Extremely gentle, I had very little bruising! I would highly recommend Dr. Howland for all your Plastic Surgery Need! You will not be disappointed! He truly cares for his clients! Thanks again Doctor!"
