Longevity and Beauty: A Plastic Surgeon’s Perspective
In a recent TikTok video, Dr. Lara Devgan, a renowned New York City-based board-certified plastic surgeon, shares her insights on the intersection of longevity and beauty. With a focus on personalized care and scientific advancements, Dr. Devgan emphasizes the importance of tailoring aesthetic treatments to individual needs.
Personalized Aesthetic Philosophy
Dr. Devgan advocates for a customized approach to beauty, recognizing that each person's anatomy, age, and hormonal profile are unique. She stresses that managing fat and body composition isn't a one-size-fits-all endeavor. By prioritizing natural-looking results, she ensures that treatments align with each patient's goals and physiology.
Non-Surgical Innovations
Among the non-invasive options Dr. Devgan discusses is Kybella, an injectable treatment targeting submental fullness (fat under the chin). Kybella contains deoxycholic acid, which dissolves fat cells permanently in the treated area, offering a more defined jawline without surgery.
She also highlights the rising popularity of Ozempic, a GLP-1 receptor agonist originally designed for type 2 diabetes management. Dr. Devgan refers to Ozempic as “the next Botox” due to its rapid adoption for weight loss. She notes that weight, metabolism, and hormones are deeply interconnected, and medications like Ozempic can be effective tools when prescribed and monitored carefully.
Surgical Expertise
For those seeking more immediate or dramatic results, Dr. Devgan offers surgical options like liposuction. This procedure removes fat deposits from specific areas such as the abdomen, arms, or thighs. Utilizing advanced techniques, she contours the body while minimizing scarring.
In some cases, comprehensive body contouring procedures are performed to transform a patient’s midsection or entire body. Dr. Devgan emphasizes that each decision—what to remove, what to preserve—is made with the patient’s overall body harmony in mind.
Subtle Enhancements and Scientific Skincare
Dr. Devgan's approach blends medical insight with aesthetic restraint. She believes that subtle, millimeter-level changes can significantly impact one's appearance, favoring finesse over flash. This philosophy extends to her skincare line, Dr. Devgan Scientific Beauty, which includes products like the Hyaluronic Niacin Panthenol Serum, formulated to support skin health and longevity.
Conclusion
Dr. Lara Devgan's perspective on longevity and beauty underscores the importance of personalized, scientifically-backed treatments. Whether through non-surgical methods like Kybella and Ozempic or surgical procedures, her goal remains consistent: to enhance natural beauty in a thoughtful, individualized manner.
