Exceptional care from beginning to end! I had a breast augmentation, abdominoplasty, and lipo. I couldn’t be happier with the results! He explained the process thoroughly prior and followed up with me frequently in the immediate post-op period. Im now 6 weeks out and the healing process has been smooth and relatively easy. He has decades of experience and I feel the best plastic surgeon in Utah (I have worked in health care for 20 years and have worked with hundreds of doctors). If you are thinking of having plastic surgery, I would look no further. He is fantastic!!!

Dr Clayton did my tummy tuck in May. From first consultation to now, it has been such an incredible experience. Dr. Clayton and his staff are amazing. I absolutely love my results; I can't imagine going to any other cosmetic surgeon!

I am so happy with the end result of my surgery! I went to see Dr. Clayton for an encapsulated implant. Not only did he repair my implant but he readjusted both implants and made them more aesthetically pleasing. They look amazing and feel so natural! I highly recommend him!

He must have had a bad day the day of my lift or confused me with another patient or just doesn't care anymore. I look worse now than before the lift. I was very attractive but with an aging neck. That my was my main concern but he said a facelift had to be done. Then after the lift he tells me I had extra large fat pads so he sculpted them and couldn't wait to see how it turned out. What? I'm an experiment? Well it turned out very, very poor and I have a sunken left cheek with a bulge at and below my jaw on the left side and have lost the full apple of that cheek. My jawline looks worse with a pronounced double chin. I had a lovely face and jawline with just an aging neck and some light jowling but now I have what I describe above along with ears sewn down to my face, sunken in and alien looking. No one has said I look better... in fact I've had people ask if I was in an accident. All this for close to 12,000.00. And, I have pain and gripping in my face under chin and jaw and I'm a year out... Went to some other plastic surgeons and they said it is a sub par. I asked for an operative report but it isn't clear what he did, it's like he wrote it when I requested it way after the op. He did say there was a male anesthesiologist but it was a woman. So much for attention to detail. In my case it's like he wasn't paying much attention to what I asked for or my outcome. Having my necklift/facelift with this Doc has been the worst decision of my life.

If you are looking for an incredible surgeon, look no further!!! Dr. Clayton is knowledgable, smart, and knows how to make his patients feel good. He goes above and beyond for his patients and he genuinely gets excited to make his patients look and feel amazing. I love how confident he is and he would never push a patient to do more work than they needed. (I had consultations with other doctors where I'm pretty sure they would gladly take my money to do things that I didn't need or that wouldn't have worked for me!) He's realistic and he's honest. He listens to your questions and explains things clearly. He's amazing at what he does. He has treated me and my family members and closest friends. I would recommend him to anyone. If you choose Dr. Clayton as your surgeon, you can take comfort in knowing that you are in the best hands possible.

I had a breast reduction, I have less pain in my back now and my nipples don't point towards the ground anymore. Dr. Clayton is amazing he knows what he is doing and they are perfectly symmetrical which he told me don't expect because my left is a little lower than my right. I couldn't be happier they are not too big to too small and I get excited and can't believe these are my great breasts now. Would do it again 20 more times. Dr. Clayton is professional, knowledgeable and friendly - choose him for your surgery.

Biography

Dr. Clayton comes from a family of plastic surgeons. His father, John L. Clayton, MD, was one of the early plastic surgeons in Utah. All three of the senior Dr. Claytons sons followed him into medicine. Dr. Dave and his older brother both attended medical school at the University of Utah where David graduated with Surgery Honors in 1976. They both completed a combined residency in both General Surgery and Plastic Surgery at Providence Hospital in Southfield, MI. Returning to Utah, they both joined their father, and Clayton Plastic Surgery was born. After 16 years practicing altogether, the senior Dr. Clayton retired, and the practice was continued by the brothers. In 2010, Drs. David and John were invited to join Intermountain Health Care. Dr. David Clayton is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the Utah Plastic Surgery Society, and the prestigious American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. As the very first doctor in Utah to perform liposuction (1983), Dr. Clayton has taught this operation at the national level, including publications in national and international plastic surgery journals, and has the largest experience with liposuction in the state! He loves all types of cosmetic surgery and enjoys a wonderful reputation for his facelifts, eyelid surgery, and nasal surgery (rhinoplasty), as well as other body contouring surgeries, including tummy tucks, breast augmentations, reductions, and lifts (Mommy Makeovers). Dr. Claytons motto has always been, The least expensive plastic surgery is the one done right the first time. Getting it RIGHT the first time comes from skill, precision, artistry, and especially, experience.
