The Beauty of Duality

In this candid, high-energy conversation, acclaimed oculoplastic and aesthetic surgeon Dr. Sheila Barbarino sits down with clinical director Devon Trenkle, MSN, FNP-BC to unpack the deeper “why” behind modern aesthetics. Together, they explore what truly motivates today’s patient, how confidence and emotional wellbeing shape treatment decisions, and why the line between surgical and non-surgical care is becoming more collaborative than ever.

Dr. Barbarino brings her unmistakable blend of surgical precision and human-centered philosophy, revealing how she guides patients through long-term aesthetic journeys, builds trust, and integrates technology like the V-SERIES (V-FR) into nearly every treatment plan. Devon ties these insights back to broader cultural shifts, including the rise of educated patients, the demand for natural-looking results, and the growing expectation for intelligent, multi-pathway treatment strategies.

This episode dives into the art and science of sequencing, the realities of maintaining surgical results, and the role of regenerative treatments in elevating both outcomes and patient confidence. It’s part inspiration, part clinical roadmap, and part behind-the-scenes look at what happens when innovation, empathy, and expertise converge in the hands of a modern aesthetic surgeon.
