Breast Cancer Research Foundation Hot Pink Party

Dr. Devgan was pleased to attend the Breast Cancer Research Foundation "Hot Pink Party" at the Waldorf Astoria on April 30, 2015 in honor of breast cancer research and funding.

The Breast Cancer Research Foundation is the largest private funder of breast cancer research in the world, and it has helped to fund every major research development in breast cancer since 1993. As a result of BCRF and the Hot Pink Party, over $60 million has been raised to help fight breast cancer to date.

Ask a real patient: how was your breast augmentation surgery?

Breast augmentation is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in America, and in my Manhattan private practice as well. Women who come in for breast implants start with a new patient consultation. During this appointment, I have the opportunity to personally meet and sit down with each patient who comes into my office.

We spend 45 minutes together, discussing your medical history, your goals and expectations for surgery, and your questions. I examine and measure your breasts and take confidential photographs that are used in surgical planning. Finally, we sit down together in my office and review before and after photos, different types of breast implants and surgical approaches, and discuss the sequence of events before and after surgery in great detail.

Before you go, you have the opportunity to see, feel, and "try on" different types and sizes of breast implants so that we, together, can decide on the best size for you. And of course, there is plenty of time for your questions.

Although the consultation is comprehensive, and I do my very best to individually tailor our conversation to your specific concerns, women are always most interested in what other women like themselves have to say. For this reason, all of my patients are invited to review me online, and these reviews are made public.

If you are considering breast implant surgery, please read our most recent review, from yesterday, from a patient who had breast augmentation one month ago. Dozens of other reviews are available at www.RateMDs.com, www.RealSelf.com, www.HealthGrades.com, and www.Vitals.com. Each of these sites has quality-control and identity-protection measures to independently verify the reviews submitted.

To schedule your consultation, please call (212) 452-2400 or email info@LaraDevganMD.com. All inquiries will be followed up within 12 hours.

Brandt’s publicist reported the doctor was suffering from “an illness,” but did not elaborate, according to the obituary.

Brandt’s patients included Madonna and model, Stephanie Seymour. He had his own skincare line and owned practices in Miami and Manhattan.

Brandt was known for his in-depth knowledge of dermatology and aesthetics, as well as his friendly nature.

“Dr. Brandt was a pioneer in facial fillers and skin care, as well as a real gentleman,” Lara Devgan, MD, MPH, told Healio.com/Aesthetics. “He did a lot to popularize non-invasive techniques like Botox, fillers, and skin resurfacing, and he helped make them a routine part of the beauty regimen for many women in New York. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing and wish his loved ones my sincerest condolences.”

"I am profoundly saddened by the sudden death of Dr. Fred Brandt. He has been my trusted friend and colleague for over 20 years. In addition to his contributions to drive innovations in the field of cosmetic dermatology, he was a man of generous spirit," Tina Alster, MD, said. " I will cherish special memories of our many shared personal and professional experiences over the years. He has left a significant void in our professional community which will be felt for many years to come."
