Dr. Jennifer Armstrong, a cosmetic dermatologist, shared before-and-after photos of Jennifer Pedranti after treating the Real Housewives of Orange County star’s face – and revealed exactly what she “correct[ed].”
Armstrong was a one-time castmate on the show, one season before Pedranti herself joined the cast. In the new season, Tamra Judge showed a photo of Pedranti from years earlier, seemingly trying to prove how different Pedranti now looks.
In an October 30 Instagram post, Dr. Armstrong shared before-and-after photos of Pedranti.
The before pic showed Pedranti at the 2024 reunion; the after showed her at the 2025 reunion. The “2025 face” seemed very different.

“It was such a joy treating @jennifer.pedranti,” wrote Armstrong in the caption of the post. “My goal is always to make every patient feel comfortable, cared for, and empowered. I’m so grateful for her trust and I am so happy I could make her feel good. Can we talk about how incredible she looked at the Housewives reunion?”
In another post, Armstrong shared what treatment she performed.
“LIP FILLER CORRECTION💉✨ I helped correct Jen Pedranti’s … lip filler from another office and we focused on restoring natural balance,” she wrote. “Often, filler placement can create ridges or uneven volume if injected incorrectly. The key is proportions! The lip’s ‘meat’ should align with the nose, and the sides should have less volume than the center. It’s all about harmony, balance, and the golden ratio to create lips that look natural and elegant.”
She also shared a video of her conversation with Pedranti before the treatment.
“[I was told] I have like hot dog lips,” said Pedranti.
“This is what happened … whoever did your lips, they put it in the muscle of the lip. It’s the wrong plane. So then you have a muscle that goes around your lips,” said Armstrong. “So as you’re moving — you know, talking, chewing — it’s pushing the filler up. It’s not actually a brown line. This is a ridge and people are seeing a shadow.”
New episodes of The Real Housewives of Orange County air Thursday nights on Bravo.
Cory Wharton Says Daughter Maya’s Open-Heart Procedure Has Inspired Him to Give Back to Families in Need
Cory Wharton says his three-year-old daughter Maya’s latest open-heart surgery has inspired him to give back to other children and families, noting that his charitable efforts are “a far cry from MTV.”
As The Ashley previously told you, Cory and ex-girlfriend Taylor Selfridge’s daughter Maya, who was born with a rare form of heart disease called tricuspid atresia, recently underwent her final open-heart surgery called the Fontan. Two weeks after the surgery, Taylor– who also shares daughter Mila with Cory– told fans that the procedure had improved Maya’s oxygenation levels, as well as her overall coloring.
(According to the Cleveland Clinic website, a Fontan procedure “improves circulation in people who have only one working heart ventricle. This problem happens because of one of several congenital heart diseases. The Fontan procedure lets oxygen-poor blood from the lower part of your body go straight to your pulmonary artery– and then lungs– for oxygen instead of going through your heart first.”)
Cory revealed to TMZ this week that, while Maya’s surgery was successful and she was ultimately discharged from Children’s Hospital Los Angeles after a two-week recovery, he realizes that some families aren’t as fortunate.
“I was just happy that we were able to leave the Children’s Hospital, because there’s a lot of families there that they’re not gonna leave, they’re waiting a year or two for a heart transplant,” he said. “ … It’s sad man, walking around there, but there were people in that building that found a way to smile and … just by talking to them over time, I was just like, these people are staying positive when they’re at their lowest and it was crazy for me to see and experience.”
Cory went on to say that the recent experience has inspired him to find ways to help those in need.
“I’m just so thankful to God that we made it out of the hospital, my daughter’s fine and now the biggest thing for me is, like, I’m trying to give back,” he said. “I wanna do whatever I can to try to help out [at] Children’s Hospital or [with] young ones that are in need.
“I wanna give back a little bit … it’s a far cry from MTV, but I wanna try to do something positive with what I got going now,” he added.
As you may remember, Cory and Taylor previously shared that they learned about Maya’s heart condition when Taylor was about 22 weeks pregnant, at which point they were told that Maya would need a series of procedures due to the condition. At just six days old, Maya had a stent put in place; later that year, Maya– then seven-months-old– underwent her first open-heart surgery, during which she suffered some complications.
Taylor shared this month that Maya should not need any more open-heart surgeries in her lifetime; and if she does, it would not be until adulthood.
