We couldn’t be more excited here at Utopia Plastic Surgery & MedSpa! This week, our long-time patient and cherished member of the Utopia family, Trista Sutter, is gracing the pages of People magazine in not one, but two beautiful, heartfelt features.
The original Bachelorette (and forever fan favorite) has always been a beacon of warmth, authenticity, and quiet strength. In these latest exclusives, Trista and her husband Ryan open up about their remarkable 23-year marriage, the deliberate choice they made to put family first over Hollywood fame, and the everyday joys that fill their lives in the Denver suburbs.
After their whirlwind romance on The Bachelorette in 2003, Trista and Ryan could have chased the spotlight in Los Angeles. Instead, they moved to Ryan’s hometown of Vail, Colorado, and later to Denver, building a grounded, loving home for their two teenagers, Max (18) and Blakesley (16). Trista describes herself with pride as a “hockey mom, dance mom, fire wife, and brand ambassador,” with motherhood as her true calling. “I wouldn’t trade it for the world,” she shared. Ryan, a dedicated Denver firefighter, and Trista have created something truly special — a partnership built on laughter, mutual support, and the simple philosophy that “your lawn is greenest where you water it.
”Their story is a beautiful reminder that real success isn’t measured by red carpets or camera flashes — it’s measured by the life you choose to live every single day. From overcoming infertility challenges and complicated pregnancies to raising kind, confident kids while staying deeply connected as a couple, Trista and Ryan show us what it looks like to prioritize what matters most.
As part of the Utopia family for many years, we’ve had the joy of watching Trista embrace every chapter of her life with grace and confidence. Seeing her thrive — as a devoted mom, a loving wife, and an inspiration to so many — fills our hearts with pride. She’s living proof that when you feel your best from the inside out, you can show up fully for the people you love.Trista, thank you for letting us be a small part of your journey. You continue to inspire us (and millions of others) with your authenticity and big-hearted approach to life. We’re cheering you on every step of the way and can’t wait to see what wonderful adventures the next chapter brings for you, Ryan, Max, and Blakesley. Congratulations on these well-deserved features! You make the Utopia family beam with pride.
With warmth and admiration, Dr. Franklin Rose & The Entire Utopia Team.

If you’ve been thinking about facial rejuvenation, you may have noticed that the best outcomes — the ones that look natural, rested, and beautifully defined — share something in common: they don’t look “done.” That’s exactly the philosophy behind the advanced 3-layer facelift with deep plane lift that Dr. Franklin Rose has refined over many years of dedicated practice. This procedure is designed not to change who you are, but to restore the version of yourself you remember.
What Is a 3-Layer Facelift?
A traditional facelift works primarily on the skin — pulling it tighter to reduce visible sagging. While effective in the short term, this approach can sometimes produce an overly tight or “windswept” appearance. The 3-layer technique goes deeper, addressing the three distinct structural layers of the face:
The skin surface. The outermost layer is repositioned gently, with minimal tension, so scarring is reduced and results look naturally smooth.
The SMAS layer. The superficial musculo-aponeurotic system is the true foundation of the face. Lifting and repositioning this layer is what creates lasting, structural improvement.
The deep plane. By releasing key ligaments at the deepest level, Dr. Rose is able to reposition facial tissues in the direction they naturally descended — restoring youthful contours rather than simply pulling skin sideways.
Together, these three layers work in harmony to produce a result that moves naturally with your expressions and ages gracefully over time.
Precision Fat Grafting for Cheek Definition and the V-Look
One of the most distinctive elements of Dr. Rose’s approach is the integration of precise fat grafting to the cheeks. As we age, we don’t just lose firmness — we lose volume in key areas that give the face its youthful, defined shape.
Using fat carefully harvested from the patient’s own body, Dr. Rose places tiny, precise deposits in the cheekbones and mid-face to recreate the lifted, sculpted contour that is characteristic of a youthful face. This restores the coveted V-shape — a defined jawline, elevated cheeks, and a smooth transition from the lower face to the neck.
Because the fat comes from you, there is no foreign material involved, no risk of rejection, and the results integrate seamlessly with your natural anatomy. Many patients are surprised by how much this step alone transforms the overall harmony of their appearance.
Stem Cell Enhancement: Your Body’s Own Regenerative Power
Perhaps the most innovative aspect of this procedure is the use of the patient’s own stem cells — a feature Dr. Rose has carefully developed and refined over several years of practice.
Stem cells are concentrated from the patient’s own tissue during the procedure and then strategically reintroduced to key areas of the face. These cells support the body’s natural healing response, improve skin quality, encourage collagen production, and help the fat grafts survive and thrive long-term.
The result is not just a repositioned face, but a genuinely rejuvenated one — with improved skin texture, tone, and radiance that no scalpel alone can achieve. This biological enhancement is part of what makes Dr. Rose’s approach truly holistic.
What to Expect
This is a sophisticated, highly personalized procedure. Dr. Rose takes time with every patient to understand their goals, assess their unique anatomy, and design a surgical plan tailored specifically to them. No two faces are alike, and no two plans should be either.
Thanks to the precision and care with which Dr. Rose performs this procedure, recovery is often much quicker than patients expect. Most patients are back on their feet and feeling like themselves within just 7 days — a remarkable turnaround for a procedure of this depth and complexity. Some swelling and bruising will continue to resolve gradually over the following weeks, and final results refine over several months as the tissues settle and the stem cells do their quiet, restorative work.
Patients consistently describe the outcome with a simple phrase: they look like themselves again — only refreshed, rested, and more defined.
Is This Procedure Right for You?
The 3-layer deep plane facelift with fat grafting and stem cell enhancement is best suited for patients who are experiencing meaningful facial aging — particularly sagging along the jawline and neck, loss of cheek volume, and a general flattening of the mid-face. It is ideal for those who want results that are lasting and natural, not just temporary.
We invite you to schedule a personal consultation with Dr. Rose to explore whether this procedure aligns with your goals. Our team is here to answer every question, walk you through every step, and ensure that you feel completely informed and comfortable before making any decisions.

Because your skin goals start at Utopia Plastic Surgery & Medspa 
Life’s journey often brings about shifts in our goals, comfort, and even lifestyle. For many women, these changes can lead to a reevaluation of past decisions, including those related to breast implants. At Utopia Plastic Surgery and MedSpa, led by Dr. Franklin Rose, the focus is on supporting patients through these personal decisions, particularly when it comes to explant surgery.
Explant surgery is a highly personal choice, and it’s recognized that individuals may seek a more natural and comfortable look as they navigate new chapters in their lives. The team at Utopia Plastic Surgery and MedSpa aims to support patients in aligning their aesthetic with their current preferences and stage of life.
The flyer highlights that some women who chose breast implants earlier in life later decide to have them removed. This could be due to evolving personal preferences, a desire for enhanced comfort, or simply a change in lifestyle. Dr. Franklin Rose and his team are dedicated to guiding patients through the process, offering procedures like explant and lift to help achieve their desired outcomes.
If you’re considering explant surgery or exploring your options, scheduling a consultation with Utopia Plastic Surgery and MedSpa could be a valuable next step.
