After a lot of research, throughout the country, I felt that Dr Thompson, was the best. I liked the fact that his work is focused on the face only and results looked so natural. Hard to accomplish, knowing what’s involved. I had a deep plane facelift, temporal brow and an eye pinch and I am 100% happy! I feel like myself again. I look like me, but minus a few wrinkles😉 So natural looking! He has such a great bed side manner and makes you feel so at ease. It’s no easy process but his expertise makes it easier to, trust the process, as they say. He has always been available to answer any questions I’ve had, as has his staff! Everyone has been so very kind and helpful! Bonus: After care has been such a nice treat!

I had a facelift, with upper and lower bleft for the eyes, and some fat grafting under the eyes. It sounds like a lot, and it is, but I have seen people that haven’t seen me in several months and they don’t even notice. The result is so natural it doesn’t draw attention. It is beyond my expectations. In addition, every single interaction I have had with the staff from the first meeting until today’s follow up has been excellent. They are professional, kind, and informative. I have felt involved all along the way. I finally look like the person I feel like. Dr. Thompson is kind, patient and an amazing surgeon. If you’re considering it, put yourself in his hands and you will be beyond happy with the results.

UFP is such a great place! Dr. Thompson is so kind and very skilled. The staff is unbelievable, they are incredibly knowledgeable, positive and organized. They run on time and make you feel so good about whatever procedure you are having done. I have never been to a medical office that is so efficient and well trained. Katy is so positive, fun and the best at lasers! She makes sure to stick with you until you are healed. Ari has a gentle touch with the follow up care to any procedure. I can’t say enough good things about the staff!

Love Utah Facial Plastics! Everyone here is so nice and helpful. I recently got a PRX treatment and love how glowy my skin looks—such a confidence boost! If you're thinking about treating yourself, I totally recommend this place. You’ll feel taken care of from the moment you walk in.

Moriah did an AMAZING job with my lip fillers! I had them done last year and decided to come back for more this year, and once again she made me feel so welcomed and cared for throughout the whole process. The staff is friendly, and the office has such a great environment. I highly recommend coming here if you’re considering lip fillers. I got 1 ML this time, completely pain free! I’ve even added my before and after so you can see the results yourself.
