The Beauty Authority: My Journey From Fillers to a Facelift

What’s it really like to go from nonsurgical treatments to a facelift and necklift? In this episode of “The Beauty Authority,” NewBeauty’s Tatiana Bido talks with Patty, a celebrity nail artist who started her journey with Dr. Marina Peredo for injectables and lasers before transitioning to surgery with her son, Dr. Andrew Peredo. Together, the mother–son team at Skinfluence in New York share how they collaborate to create natural results that keep patients looking refreshed, never overdone. Patty also opens up about what led her to surgery, her recovery experience, and why she still continues nonsurgical maintenance. Drs. Peredo explain how they decide when it’s time to move from fillers to surgery, why maintenance treatments still matter after a facelift, and the importance of balancing both approaches for long-lasting, natural beauty.
