Maglić Plastic Surgery Reviews
This review is super hard for me to write. I don’t think I’ll ever find the words of the gratitude I feel for what Dr. Maglic was able to do for me. I needed to have an extremely tough reconstruction done. I had a couple of surgeries that didn’t go very well and ended up with a disaster. I actually had another doctor picked out to do my surgery but kept putting it off because I had a feeling that it wouldn’t work out. I happened to come across Dr. Maglic. I researched everything about him and his art hooked me. I thought if he can create art like that maybe he is the one that could help me. I really wasn’t sure if he would even take me as a patient because I knew the surgery would be highly complicated and the results may not work out so why take that risk? When I met Dr. Maglic I could tell he was caring and focused and if he was willing to do the surgery he would be the one. He was sincere and honest about what he could do for me and my expectation was just to look semi-normal but Dr. Maglic far exceeded my expectations. If one were to see before and after pics the transformation is absolutely shocking.
I was referred to Dr. Maglic and the Premier Plastic Surgery group by my primary care physician. My entire experience could not have been more positive. This is a group that focuses on and has clearly invested in service. Professional touchpoints, fully informative conversations, treatment follow-ups, and genuine personal engagement. Pleasant experience and positive outcomes to the services provided.
Dr. Maglic and his team are extremely professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and caring. Their office takes the time to listen to my concerns, answer any questions that I have, and help with any billing or website issues. Dr. Maglic is exceptionally professional and cares about his patients. Dr. Maglic and his team ensured that I felt at ease throughout the entire process and were always available to address any concerns. The level of care and attention I received was outstanding. I highly recommend Dr. Maglic and his team. Dr. Maglic and his team made sure I was a good candidate for the procedure and were compassionate and professional about my needs. I am thrilled with my results and grateful for the positive experience.
I wish I could add more stars for this review as 5 do not do Dr. Maglic justice. From the initial meeting, I was completely put at ease with his professionalism and his competency. He listened to all my expectations and concerns and provided me with the utmost confidence that he could and would deliver. The surgery, postop, office staff, and, most importantly, results have exceeded every expectation and I cannot recommend Dr. Maglic enough to anyone who wants the very best plastic surgeon in Utah. There’s nobody else I would recommend more and you will only be disappointed if you go somewhere else.
I recently had the experience of being treated by a fabulous plastic surgeon who combines professionalism with genuine warmth. At first glance, he may seem intimidating with his sharp attire and amazing hair, but his artistic approach to his work is evident in the meticulous detail he puts into every procedure. He views each body as an art piece, without judgment. He was able to lift my breasts back to the correct placement and fixed the botched scarring from a reduction I had years ago, which I didn’t think could ever be possible.One of the things that I was impressed by was how he spoke to his nurses and staff, genuinely thanking them for their assistance. This level of appreciation is refreshing, especially in a field where many skilled professionals often overlook the importance of valuing their team. His respect for those around him emphasizes the significance of a supportive work environment.I highly recommend this remarkable surgeon to anyone seeking not just skill, but also a dedicated partner in their journey. His blend of talent, experience, and kindness is truly a rare find. He introduces himself as Dr. Dino Maglić, but I think of him as Magical! I will call him Dr. Magic😊

Frequently Asked Questions
Mohs Surgery FAQ
How much does it cost?
Mohs surgery may be paid for by your insurance. Our office will connect with your provider to determine your coverage benefits and if you will have out-of-pocket fees. Maglic Plastic Surgery accepts a number of payment options and can help you look up medical financing to make the surgery cost-effective.
What is the success rate of Mohs surgery?
The achievement rate of extracting the cancerous tissue from the targeted region is very good if dealing with basal cell carcinoma, with small melanomas receiving around a 99% success rate. Primary squamous cell carcinoma has somewhat of smaller achievement rate at about 97%.
Does Mohs surgery hurt?
Since anesthesia is employed, a number of men and women feel little to no pain during Mohs surgery but could feel minor pain. Following Mohs surgery, the majority of patients experience mild pain, therefore medicine normally isn't necessary. If there is pain accompanied with the surgery, Dr. Maglic will usually suggest an over-the-counter painkiller.
Will I have a scar?
Scars may differ based on the method utilized and your unique situation. Individuals who have larger treatment areas or problematic cases are more likely to end up with a scar. Despite this, Dr. Maglic will do everything feasible to limit scars. When you have recovered, our team could suggest scar revision surgery in order to minimize the look of scarring even further.
Will I need more than one treatment?
Every person's condition is different and has its own unique needs. Throughout your initial consultation, Dr. Maglic will review the odds of you requiring several treatments. There are a handful of men and women who could need a second treatment; however, with the success rates being so high, the likelihood of this happening is very minimal.
Will Mohs reconstruction affect my facial expressions or natural appearance?
Mohs reconstruction is carefully planned to preserve both function and aesthetics, especially in areas like the nose, lips, or eyelids where facial movement and symmetry matter. Dr. Maglic will take into account skin tension lines, tissue texture, and facial anatomy to help ensure a natural-looking result. In most cases, facial expressions remain unaffected, and scars fade significantly over time.
How long after Mohs surgery should I wait to have reconstruction?
In many cases, Mohs reconstruction can be performed the same day as your skin cancer removal, allowing for immediate repair while the area is fresh and clean. However, some situations — such as larger or more complex wounds — may require a short delay to allow swelling to decrease or to plan for more involved reconstructive techniques. Dr. Maglic will work closely with your care team to determine the best timing for optimal healing and cosmetic results.
What type of scarring should I expect after Mohs reconstruction?
Scarring varies depending on the location, size, and technique used during reconstruction. Dr. Maglic uses advanced closure methods, such as layered suturing or skin flaps, to minimize visible scars and promote smooth healing. Over time, most scars become less noticeable, and your doctor may recommend scar treatment, like massage, silicone gel, or laser therapy, to further improve the appearance.
