Surgical Planning for Facelift and Neck Lift
Facial rejuvenation surgery—most commonly a facelift and neck lift—is both an art and a science. For Dr. Lara Devgan, surgical planning begins long before a patient ever enters the operating room. The process is rooted in precision, customization, and an understanding that every face tells a unique story.
A facelift and neck lift aim to restore harmony, not change identity. During the planning phase, Dr. Devgan carefully evaluates bone structure, skin quality, muscle tone, and fat distribution to create a personalized surgical blueprint. High-resolution imaging and millimeter-level anatomical mapping guide her approach, ensuring natural results that align with each patient’s individual features and aesthetic goals.
Attention to proportion is key. The face and neck are addressed as a continuous unit, allowing for seamless transitions between regions. Dr. Devgan focuses on deep structural support, repositioning the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) to lift and refine contours, while maintaining the integrity of natural expression.
Equally important is preoperative preparation—from optimizing skin health with medical-grade skincare and nutrition, to managing expectations and postoperative care. Every detail contributes to the overall success and longevity of the result.
For Dr. Devgan, surgical planning is where science meets artistry. It’s a process designed to enhance confidence, restore youthful balance, and achieve results that look elegant, refined, and unmistakably you.
