Dr. Lara Devgan on Fat and Weight Management: A Thoughtful, Tailored Approach
Dr. Lara Devgan, a New York City-based board-certified plastic surgeon, often uses her TikTok platform to discuss modern aesthetic treatments. One topic she returns to frequently is fat and weight management—offering her insights on both non-surgical and surgical solutions. Her approach emphasizes a combination of science, subtlety, and personalization.
A Personalized Philosophy
Dr. Devgan believes that managing fat and body composition is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. In her videos, she explains that people carry weight differently depending on their anatomy, age, and hormonal makeup. Because of this, she tailors every treatment plan to the patient’s goals, always prioritizing natural-looking results.
Non-Surgical Options
Kybella Injections
One of the tools Dr. Devgan uses for localized fat reduction is Kybella, a non-surgical injectable that targets submental fullness (fat under the chin). Kybella contains deoxycholic acid, which dissolves fat cells permanently in the area where it's injected. This treatment can help patients achieve a more defined jawline without surgery.
Ozempic for Weight Management
In a widely shared TikTok, Dr. Devgan calls Ozempic “the next Botox,” noting its rapid rise in popularity for weight loss. Originally designed for managing type 2 diabetes, Ozempic (a GLP-1 receptor agonist) has shown strong results for weight reduction. Dr. Devgan points out that weight, metabolism, and hormones are deeply linked—and that medications like this can be useful tools when carefully prescribed and monitored.
Surgical Treatments
Liposuction
For patients who want more immediate or dramatic results, Dr. Devgan offers surgical liposuction. This procedure removes fat deposits from specific areas like the abdomen, arms, or thighs. She uses advanced techniques to contour the body while minimizing scarring.
Comprehensive Body Contouring
In some cases, Dr. Devgan combines procedures to transform a patient’s midsection or entire body. For example, in one TikTok video, she walks viewers through a complete abdominal makeover, emphasizing that each decision—what to remove, what to preserve—is made with the patient’s overall body harmony in mind.
A Focus on Subtle Enhancement
Across all her treatments, Dr. Devgan emphasizes subtlety. Her goal is not to change a person’s identity, but to refine and elevate their existing features. Whether using injectables or surgical tools, she focuses on preserving balance and proportion.
Conclusion
Dr. Lara Devgan’s perspective on fat and weight management blends medical insight with aesthetic restraint. Her preference for personalization and natural results is clear across her social media presence and clinical work. Whether through Kybella, Ozempic, or surgery, she offers her patients options that are thoughtful, modern, and tailored to their individual needs.
