Not utopian, but the Vorkosigan Saga incorporates some of that. A female soldier's face is horribly burned, but then reconstructed to be more beautiful than it use to be.
And a race of noblewoman were gene manipulated to be so beautiful that they can't be looked upon, because their faces impair the mental state of anyone who looks at them. Like some kind of passive hypnosis. So when they leave their homes, they do so while sitting in these hi-tech protective floating bubble chairs, where you can only see the silhouettes of their body and incredibly long hair.

The book is good.
