Dr. Henstrom believes “plastic surgery should not look or feel plastic,” and provides natural-looking results, which is what all providers at Utah Facial Plastics are known across the country for.

Prior to joining Utah Facial Plastics, Dr. Douglas Henstrom was considered one of Iowa’s best-trained Facial Plastic surgeons. He first developed a love and passion for plastic and reconstructive surgery while working with his father-in-law, the late Dr. Blayne Hirsche of Provo. After receiving his undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University in 1999, where he also earned academic all-conference awards as a member of the football team, he then completed medical school at the University of Iowa. He continued his training by specializing in Head and Neck surgery at the Mayo Clinic and was subsequently selected for a highly competitive two-year fellowship in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive surgery at Harvard through the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, where he refined the necessary skills to become a leader in his field. He continued his efforts in research and clinical teaching at the University of Iowa and has published multiple articles and textbook chapters in the field of plastic surgery.

For the last 5 1/2 years, he has been the director of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive surgery in the Otolaryngology department at the University of Iowa, perennially one of the top programs in the country. There he had the responsibilities of a busy clinical practice, as well as the education and training of the next generation of physicians. During this time he has taught and trained over 30 residents and fellows in the art and science of facial surgery. Dr. Henstrom excels at teaching and has even provided lectures to the BYU pre-med students about how to get into medical school.

With your face as your identity, Dr. Henstrom fully believes in the importance of choosing a facial specialist who can provide results that come without any telltale signs of surgery. His philosophy is simply about making patients feel happy and good about themselves. This is accomplished through a comprehensive approach utilizing surgical procedures, injectables, resurfacing techniques, and skincare to help patients look and feel their best. Dr. Henstrom listens with genuine concern to identify areas of improvement, provides education on the array of options available, and performs treatments and procedures with meticulous care. He aims to carry on the legacy of professionalism and perfection left to him by Dr. Blayne Hirsche.

Dr. Henstrom continues to participate in annual surgical mission trips treating children with congenital deformities with the H.U.G.S. foundation. Dr. Henstrom is moving home to Utah with his wife and six children. He is an avid supporter of BYU athletics, loves the outdoors, skiing, traveling, working on bonsai trees, and most of all being with his kids.

When considering a physician for your face, trust your face to a facial plastic surgeon. Trust your face to Dr. Henstrom.

Dr. James P. Manning

Dr. James P. Manning is trained in facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon and board-certified ENT surgeon (otolaryngology) in Salt Lake City, UT. He is currently board-eligible and completing the same highly-competitive fellowship that Dr. Thompson completed in 2005 with Dr. Vito Quatela, the former AAFPRS president and current IFFPSS (International Federation of Facial Plastic Surgery Societies) president. He will be board-certified upon meeting all requirements for surgical practice. Dr. Manning was carefully selected to join Utah Facial Plastics in 2022 by Drs. Thompson and Henstrom not only for his extensive training and educational accomplishments, but also his passion for elevating confidence through the art of facial plastic surgery and non-surgical treatments, which is in complete alignment with the mission and nationwide reputation of Utah Facial Plastics.

After receiving his Bachelor’s degree cum laude from Brigham Young University–Idaho in 2011, he went on to the prestigious University of Washington where he received his M.D in 2016. Determined to further expand his educational training, he began his residency at the University of Rochester where he completed his studies and is now practicing at Utah Facial Plastics. In addition to his vast training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, he is extensively trained in hair transplantations for men and women including eyebrow and beard transplantations.

Dr. Manning’s specialties include rhinoplasty, facelift, browlift & eyelid surgery, chin augmentation, fat grafting, lip lift surgery, brow reduction surgery, otoplasty, scar revision and especially deep neck contouring (a procedure that specifically benefits younger patients looking to define the neck and jaw line). He is a firm believer that surgical and non-surgical treatments go hand in hand to restore and maintain a youthful appearance and is also thoroughly trained in injectables, laser resurfacing, facial vein removal (sclerotherapy) and lip augmentation.

Beyond his many talents in medicine, Dr. Manning is musically gifted and played the acoustic guitar in a bluegrass band for many years, as well as being a loving father who enjoys playing sports and being active with his family. Surgery is his passion and he has found great satisfaction and personal fulfillment in participating in medical missions (many with Dr. Thompson), treating children with congenital malformations in Guatemala and Ecuador. As a fluent Spanish speaker, Dr. Manning greatly enjoys connecting with patients and families on his medical missions and is thrilled to serve patients of the Latino community in the Salt Lake Region and beyond.

When considering a physician for your face, trust your face to a facial plastic surgeon. You can trust your face to Dr. Manning.
