On January 11, The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom first took to her Instagram Stories to share her experience getting her hair done at hairstylist Izabella Szlanta's salon, Bella's Beauté Studio, in Edgewater, New Jersey. In the first snap, Dolores revealed she was having 24-inch extensions put in from Frame & Thread Extensions. The extensions in question were being woven into her existing locks and featured a melt around the root with a few added beige-colored highlights, creating a brunette balayage effect. 

Dolores's stylist brushed out the super long extensions, revealing their glamorous length in the back.

Additionally, Dolores hopped on her Instagram page to share a shot of herself posing in a stunning Roberto Cavalli outfit as she celebrated the premiere of Season 3 of The Traitors

The mom of two shouted-out several pals and businesses for their support, and was sure to give thanks to Szlanta for her newly-elongated and highlighted mane. 

Dolores Catania's recent Renuvion cosmetic procedure 

Dolores has made a few cosmetic changes recently, including a Renuvion procedure in fall 2024 (Renuvion is a "body contouring technology" that "treats loose skin." Dolores had the procedure done around her knees.) 

"For a long time now I've been looking for something for skin tightening," Dolores shared in an exclusive interview with The Daily Dish in November 2024. "Anybody who's been doing plastic surgery as long as I have, I have to say, I'm pretty lucky — except for the fact that back when we were getting liposuction years ago, no one warned us about the loose skin that would follow it."

Dolores revealed she had always been "very self-conscious" about the appearance of her knees. Luckily, after meeting with Dr. Joshua Zuckerman of Zuckerman Plastic Surgery, Dolores found what she was looking for.

"Well, I've always thought about it. So, a lot of people carry their weight in different places. I carry my weight in my thighs and my legs and I've always been very self-conscious. So, this has been a really long time coming for me to find the right procedure that would fix it," she shared. "Dr. Zuckerman is very cheery; he's very upbeat. He was very honest. I trusted him, his credentials were there. He's board-certified. You really have to do your homework on a doctor before you go to him, and my biggest thing is he does this procedure on most of his patients, so that's the thing. A doctor that does something time and time again, if you do something enough, you get good at it."
