Dr. Devgan was a guest on Wednesday’s episode of the Today Show with hosts Hoda and Maria to discuss the leading procedure in cosmetic surgery right now: injectables. The Today Show has been rated one of the top morning shows in American and attracts over 3 millions viewers per airing. Being that Dr. Devgan is a board-certified plastic surgeon with a successful practice in New York City, she is the perfect guest to discuss reasons why the amount of minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures has grown nearly 200% since 2000.
According to Dr. Devgan, the number one procedure right now is injectables. This is due to the fact that they have “a softer entry point, [require] less down time, [are] less scary, and [are] less invasive.” Injectables are a great solution to anyone who is looking to prevent or to create minor “tweak-ments” to one’s appearance. Dr. Devgan strongly believes in the idea of her patients being “the best versions of themselves.” She aims to create millimeter-level changes that result in optimal facial micro-optimization. Dr. Devgan encourages everyone to “be your own kind of beautiful” and to realize that not every cosmetic procedure needs to be so dramatic. Aside from injectables, another popular example for some “tweak-ment” is a modern facelift. Dr. Devgan describes this as “a very cool procedure with a shorter scar, faster recovery, and a little bit more of a natural look.” A trend she is noticing lately is that “subtle is the new dramatic”; people do not want this big, drastic changes to their bodies anymore.
Some tips Dr. Devgan has for anyone who is interested in at-home remedies, she suggests: sleeping on your back at night to avoid positional wrinkles on the face from a pillow, talking with one’s hands to elevate expressions rather than scrunching the face, and also use a vitamin C, retinoid, hyaluronic serum, and SPF every day. If you are interested in wearing the medical-grade creams and serums that Dr. Devgan uses, you can read more about them here. In the end, it is important to do whatever makes you feel good. It is easy for people to get criminalized for wanting to get cosmetic procedures done, however, you have one life and looking and feeling good in your own skin is most important.
