Garrett Griffin, MD

I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Griffin and I’m really happy with my results. He was professional, straightforward, and made sure I knew exactly what to expect throughout the process. My nose looks natural and fits my face so much better now, which is exactly what I wanted. The whole experience was smooth from start to finish, and I’m glad I chose him for my surgery. Dr. Griffin’s attention to detail, expertise, and care throughout the entire process were outstanding

Dr. Griffin is the absolute best! I look and feel fantastic. I did a ton of research, went to a few consultations, and I’m so happy I chose to go with him. I had some facial asymmetry that had gotten more noticeable over time, especially with aging—and on top of that, an eye movement issue that made things even trickier. Dr. Griffin listened so patiently to all my concerns and offered thoughtful suggestions. I trusted his expertise, followed everything he recommended, and I’m beyond thrilled with the result.

The outcome is natural, beautifully balanced, and honestly—life-changing. I feel so much more confident and comfortable in my own skin. If you’re on the fence, this is your sign: go with Dr. Griffin!

Bonus points: everyone at the surgery center was amazing. I was super nervous going in, but they made me feel completely at ease. I wouldn’t change a single thing about the entire experience!

I’m thrilled with my results! Another plastic surgeon told me my desired outcome was impossible, but Dr. Griffin exceeded my expectations. I have thin skin and didn’t like the irregularities in my nose or the droopy tip. Although Dr. Griffin suggested lifting the tip more, he truly listened to my desire for a natural look. I can’t recommend him enough; he is incredibly skilled and the only doctor I trusted to perform my surgery.

I can’t imagine a better result after my 1 week post-op appt today. The after pictures are literally taken just 7 days after surgery
Why I recommend him over any other doctor: while doctor shopping I encountered the issue of trying to put how I wanted my nose to look into words. I didn’t have to do this with Dr. Griffin because he came into the room and showed me what he would want to do from an aesthetic standpoint and I loved it. I knew he would make it look good because I know he wanted it to look the same as I did and he knew what a good, “feminine” nose looks like. He truly is an artist. He also even took into account making my profile strong because I have a strong jawline/chin. He also made my upper lip bigger during it which he had suggested might happen earlier and I made it obvious that I would love for that to happen. No other doctors even came close to his level of expertise for the aesthetic aspect.
What he fixed: breathing issues(deviated septum), got rid of hump, brought tip up, made left nostril smaller, bigger upper lip, and more.
My reaction: I am so incredibly happy. I came in not liking my side profile and how big my nose got when I smiled and he fixed those and more.

I really appreciated reviews when searching for a surgeon and decided to help others by leaving a review. It’s scary picking a doctor to perform surgery on your face!

For anyone looking for a facial plastic surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Griffin. I had a septo-rhinoplasty by him 9 months ago. I have thin skin which makes it more difficult to achieve desired results. Apparently, thin skin shows everything! I am so grateful I picked Dr. Griffin. I’m not confident others could have achieved the same results he did. I do have some very, very minor imperfections but that was to be expected (especially with thin skin). Overall, it looks great though! I am very happy! I asked him to make the changes subtle as I didn’t want others to notice too easily. Honestly, barely anyone even notices, including close family members. People just say I look really good but can’t pinpoint why. Exactly what I hoped for. He is incredibly skilled! I would definitely trust him to perform similar surgeries on loved ones.

I had a rhinoplasty done with Dr. Griffin and I’m so happy I went through with it. I always hated my nose, my hump and my nostrils were just too big along with my bulky tip. I have thick skin so swelling took a long time to come down. I’m 1.5 years now post op and I’m very happy.

I highly recommend Dr. Griffin to anyone considering rhinoplasty, regardless of their proximity to the Twin Cities.

You only have one face (hopefully). Consider that against the vast range of outcomes for rhinoplasty, an operation where a millimeter can make all the difference. I wanted to reduce risk by finding a surgeon who specializes in the face and possesses exceptional credentials, superior technical skill, and a keen understanding of facial balance. Dr. Griffin satisfied these criteria. I was certain I’d made the right choice when he started talking about vertical thirds during our consultation. He quickly determined the best way to address my concerns, and was able to execute perfectly.

I could not be more happy with how it turned out. My facial features are more harmonious, while the character of my original appearance has been preserved. A less competent surgeon would have given me a lovely nose that didn’t fit my face at all. The experience exposed me to the artistry of this craft and how optimal results can be achieved without conforming to conventional beauty standards.

Aside from the physical outcome, the positive mental impact of mitigating an insecurity is greater than I anticipated. I thought I’d only recognize the change when I look in the mirror, but the slight increase in confidence is a steady, pleasant buzz that touches all aspects of life.

I’ve been to a few MWFP locations, the staff is always great. Good luck.

Dr. Griffin is an outstanding surgeon. His intelligence and knowledge reassured me from the start. The procedure was swift, and I felt cared for throughout. My rhinoplasty results exceeded expectations. I highly recommend Dr. G at Midwest Facial Plastic Surgery for his exceptional work.

I had a revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Griffin in August of 2022 and am thrilled with the results. A car accident in 2014 left me with a nose that was wider than I originally had and with a slight bump. I had a rhinoplasty following the accident but was not satisfied with the results. Dr. Griffin is known to be the best revision surgeon in the twin cities and was recommended to me by several other surgeons who were not able to perform the surgery. He was able to sculpt a nose that fits my face and has a more feminine look. I highly recommend working with him and the Midwest team!

I had both a facelift/brow lift and rhinoplasty by Dr. Griffin six weeks apart(I wrote in the wrong surgery date for the rhinoplasty reviewed under separate cover). For me, the prospect of getting a facelift was exciting and it was scarey. Scarey in large part because as diligent as I tried to be, there were so many unknowns. How does a person really know how good a surgeon is? Is everything going to be alright?

I am very happy with my choice. I saw a review for Dr Griffin that mentions how little or invisible the scars around her ears are and credits great stitching. I also have little to zero visible scarring around the front of my ears - people don’t notice them. At all. But I thought there has to be a limit on how great stitching can be, so I zoomed around the internet for a while. What I think is going on is that Dr Griffin uses specialized advanced techniques (sorry, I lost the website that talks about this in detail) that give this exceptional result. I know that not every surgeon does - I’ve compared my ears to patient photos by some really big names — mine are the same or better in EVERY single case. So I believe I was lucky enough to pick a surgeon that uses best in class techniques, even though I gather it takes more time in the OR.

I focused on the ears to represent the work in this review, please know the lifts in general are great. I look natural, I look good. I don’t know what else to say. I’m really impressed and grateful.

I did fat grafting at the same time, at the time of surgery I almost decided not to, read too many horror stories. But I think all will be fine there, too. If anyone can do it well, Dr. Griffin can.
