Utah Facial Plastics- The Artists of Medicine
Dr. Scott Thompson places tiny incisions in the thinning areas of the patient’s scalp, visualizing the precise pattern needed to achieve the most natural result. For years, his patient has watched their hair gradually thin, each new photo and reflection a reminder of something they felt powerless to stop. After trying various over-the-counter solutions with little success, the patient finally decided it was time for something lasting, something that would help them feel like themselves again. For this patient, the decision to pursue hair restoration reclaimed their sense of identity and confidence.
Dr. Thompson and his team approached the treatment with the same care and precision they bring to every procedure: developing a personalized plan, performing the restoration with expert technique, and offering consistent support throughout recovery. As natural growth returned, so did the patient’s self-esteem. What was once a daily source of insecurity became a reflection of progress and renewed self-image. At Utah Facial Plastics, it’s not just about restoring hair, it’s about helping people change the way they see themselves.
Dr. Thompson, a facial plastic surgeon at Utah Facial Plastics, didn’t follow the most conventional path into medicine. With early passions for both music and science, two seemingly opposite fields, he initially felt torn between a creative career and clinical care. It wasn’t until his medical residency that he discovered facial plastic surgery, a specialty that perfectly combined both worlds. Here, he found the opportunity to apply his surgical skill and artistic sensibility side by side, working closely with patients to visualize and create results that not only heal but transform.
That dedication to helping patients feel like the most authentic version of themselves is what drives Dr. Thompson and the entire Utah Facial Plastics team. After leaving a previous practice, Dr. Thompson founded Utah Facial Plastics to build a space where innovation, artistry, and compassionate care could thrive. The practice doesn’t believe in a one-size-fits-all version of beauty; instead, they focus on each patient’s individual goals. Their empathy and commitment to truly listening leaves a lasting impact.
While many patients arrive with clear hopes for what treatment can do, the team ensures full transparency from the beginning. They make a point to over-communicate details and potential limitations before any procedure. This openness builds trust and comfort, not only in the care being provided but in the team itself. At the core of Utah Facial Plastics are the values of safety, compassion, results, integrity, professionalism, and teamwork. Clear and honest communication between patients and staff is what makes it all possible.
Whether a patient is seeking a med-spa service or complex reconstructive surgery, they can expect the highest level of respect and medical expertise at Utah Facial Plastics. Every staff member upholds this patient-centered philosophy: all the doctors, aesthetic injectors, laser specialists, estheticians, and support team members. That kind of inclusive, collaborative environment ensures every patient receives attentive, expert care, no matter the treatment type.
At Utah Facial Plastics, it’s not just about outward transformation—it’s about helping people change the way they see themselves. The goal isn’t simply to perform procedures; it’s to restore confidence, foster healing, and help individuals feel like the most authentic version of themselves. That balance of medical expertise and empathetic care is what truly sets them apart.
This fall, Utah Facial Plastics is opening a new location in Heber—and the team couldn’t be more excited about the expansion. They look forward to bringing their signature level of care to Wasatch County and helping even more people feel confident in their own skin.
