DR. DEVGAN FEATURED IN NEW BEAUTY REGARDING NEW TRENDS IN AESTHETIC PLASTIC SURGERY

January 25, 2019 Lara Devgan, MD

Dr. Devgan is interviewed by Jolene Edgar on why women are getting facelifts younger than ever. Generation X is taking precautions to not age as quickly as the women before them. They are having facelifts in even their 40s.

In response to why they have been going under the knife at an earlier age, Dr. Devgan’s response is clear, “Aiming to maintain their current visage—to keep their reflections recognizable for as long as possible—they’ve adopted a new approach to aging. They want to look better, but still the same, and having a facelift at a younger age allows that magical paradox to occur.” The under-50 set now comprises nearly a third of Dr. Devgan’s facelift.

Injectables are not having the lasting affect Generation X wants. According to Dr. Devgan, “If you have at least a centimeter of pinchable laxity at the level of the jowls, jawline or nasolabial folds, you have to acknowledge that injectables aren’t going to make that go away.” Dr. Devgan also says “those who overindulge by chasing folds and slack skin with a syringe can wind up looking very clownish.

DR. DEVGAN FEATURED IN OK! MAGAZINE AS A LEADING LIP EXPERT

January 25, 2019 Lara Devgan, MD

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons lip injections have increased 60 percent since 2000. As Dr. Devgan states, “lip injections have also resulted in demand for a procedure that delivers a more permanent fullness with no upkeep. For a Kylie Jenner look, five to six syringes, which only last about six months, can be an expensive proposition”. The lip obsession is evolving.

What is Dr. Devgan’s solution to this problem? The lip lift, a surgical procedure that increases vertical height of the top lip. This procedure is a great option for the clients who have lips getting thinner due to age. It is also a great option to consider if you do not want to be dependent on fillers or have “duck” looking lips.

Patients are tired of repeat injections and want something more long lasting and uniform. You can also look into getting the lip lift procedure done by using RealSelf. If you haven’t heard, RealSelf is a community-driven website composed of reviews, popularity rankings, and other general information about aesthetics medicine and cosmetic treatments. The site design allows users to ask questions to doctors, write treatment reviews, and share photos of their experiences.
