In this episode of Holding Time Back, Dr. Amanda Holden welcomes Yvonne Dellos, an aesthetics industry leader whose journey is nothing short of extraordinary. From growing up in a household where survival was the priority to becoming a respected voice in the field, Yvonne shares how resilience, education, and an unstoppable mindset propelled her forward.

Yvonne opens up about her early struggles, including navigating life as a latchkey kid in a home with five sisters and a hardworking single mother. She recalls dreaming of a different life, watching glamorous TV shows as a child and believing that one day, she would create something bigger for herself. That vision fueled her ambition, leading her into the world of medicine and, ultimately, aesthetics.

Throughout the conversation, Dr. Holden and Yvonne connect over their shared experiences of overcoming obstacles and building careers from the ground up. They discuss the importance of education in aesthetics, why mentorship matters, and how the industry is evolving with innovations like Yvonne’s Aesthetic Kit—a first-of-its-kind tool designed to enhance emergency preparedness in aesthetic medicine.

Beyond business, Yvonne emphasizes the power of self-belief and consistency, explaining how the right mindset can make all the difference in both personal and professional success. She also shares her insights on the future of aesthetics, the role of AI in patient care, and the responsibility providers have in shaping the industry for the better.

For those just starting out in aesthetics, Yvonne offers invaluable advice: obsess over learning, surround yourself with mentors, and never stop growing. Her own path is proof that success isn’t just about talent—it’s about grit, adaptability, and the willingness to take bold steps forward.
