When Doreen Mancini, a 59-year-old skincare sales representative from Miami, decided to undergo an extensive facial rejuvenation procedure, she brought her husband Anthony, a 61-year-old engineer, along for the consultation. As Doreen healed from her deep-plane facelift, neck lift, brow lift, and other treatments, Anthony became increasingly intrigued by the natural-looking results. A few months later, Anthony followed in his wife's footsteps and got his own facelift, focusing on improving his neck and jawline.

Why it matters

This husband-and-wife duo's journey highlights the growing trend of couples undergoing plastic surgery together. While men are often more hesitant about cosmetic procedures initially, seeing the positive impact on their spouse can inspire them to take the plunge as well. The story also showcases how skilled surgeons can deliver transformative yet natural-looking results, even for male patients concerned about maintaining their character.

The details

After an in-depth consultation with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Paul Afrooz, Doreen chose to undergo a deep-plane facelift, neck lift, temporal brow lift, fat transfer, and laser resurfacing. As Doreen healed from the procedures, her husband Anthony became increasingly interested in getting his own facelift, particularly focusing on improving his neck and jawline. Dr. Afrooz emphasized the importance of performing only one facelift per day to ensure meticulous attention to detail and optimal results. Anthony's surgery took years off his face while still maintaining a natural appearance.

  • Doreen underwent her transformative facial procedures in early 2026.
  • Anthony had his facelift surgery four months after his wife's procedures, in mid-2026.
