Dr. Devgan is a New York City-based board-certified plastic surgeon and is featured in this segment to touch on fillers. Being that Dr. Devgan is an expert in her field, her knowledge is first and foremost when it comes to all surgical and non-surgical procedures. Not only does she have a medical background, but her artistic background contributes to how she uses “syringes to marry anatomy with art.”
What many people do not realize is that injecting filler creates an illusion to the eye to make the treated area appear a certain way. Injectable filler gives medical professionals a “way to control light and shadows, to chisel angles, and to round curves.” A prime example of this would be the non-surgical rhinoplasty, one of Dr. Devgan’s most commonly performed injectable procedures. According to Dr. Devgan, the “non-surgical rhinoplasty is the ultimate optical illusion.” By injecting filler into the nose, Dr. Devgan “creates a highlight down the center of the nose and a delicate point of light at the tip,” which ultimately makes the nose appear more diminutive and proportionate. Another interesting aspect of this piece is Dr. Devgan’s take on the lip augmentation. It is much more than just injecting filler into one’s lips to cause them to blow up like a balloon. Dr. Devgan stresses that an elegant lip augmentation “is not just a volume game—it’s a structure and shape change.” Her approach to the lip augmentation is to inject filler vertically into the lips to cause them to turn out slightly.
Minimally-invasive injectables make up half of Dr. Devgan’s practice and are what make up Dr. Devgan’s approach to facial micro-optimization. Dr. Devgan believes that making subtle changes unique to everyone’s anatomy is how one can achieve facial optimization. If you are interested in learning more about the non-surgical rhinoplasty or lip augmentation, call our office at 212-452-2400 or email office@laradevganmd.com. It is important to remember that both the nose and the lips are vascularly complex areas for filler, so it is best to see an experienced medical professional.
