3 Most Important Plastic Surgery Considerations
In a recent TikTok, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Lara Devgan shares three key principles that shape her approach to facial optimization. Rather than focusing on dramatic changes, Dr. Devgan emphasizes the power of refinement, balance, and natural beauty.
1. Coherence of Outcome
Instead of honing in on a single feature, Dr. Devgan highlights the importance of how small changes across the face can work together to create a subtle, cohesive, and naturally attractive result. It’s about the harmony of details—not just a “perfect nose” or “ideal lips”—but how everything fits together.
2. Accepting Minor Imperfections
Sometimes, she says, achieving total facial attractiveness means allowing for a minor imperfection. Overcorrecting can draw attention or disrupt the balance of the face. True beauty often lies in a sense of authenticity and restraint.
3. Enhancing Natural Beauty, Not Erasing It
The most beautiful philosophy behind plastic surgery, according to Dr. Devgan, is enhancing what’s already naturally beautiful. It’s about bringing forward someone’s innate strengths while gently decentering the elements that may distract from them—not erasing flaws, but subtly shifting the focus.
Dr. Devgan’s approach reframes plastic surgery as a nuanced, artistic discipline—one rooted in respect for the individual’s existing beauty.
