Read real reviews from my actual patients

There is no shortage of talented, well-educated, and well-credentialed plastic surgeons in New York City. If you see any doctor in this small group of the best plastic surgeons in New York, you are likely to do well and stay safe during surgery. How then, should you determine which plastic surgeon is right for you?

Do your homework. Make sure your plastic surgeon is board-certified. Check their educational background, medical licensure, and reputation. Meet them to see if you feel that your concerns are understood and your questions are answered. And importantly, read their reviews. The best way to determine what your experience with plastic surgery is likely to be like is to read about the experiences of others who have been in your position.

The following reviews of me are patient statements culled from doctor review website www.RateMDs.com. Each one has been independently verified by IP address, and each one corresponds to an actual recent patient of mine.

Labiaplasty in New York City-- real patients from my practice

My labiaplasty practice consistently draws patients from all over the world-- the Middle East, Los Angeles, Europe, New York, and everywhere in between. In recent weeks I have been interviewed by London's Guardian UK newspaper and Time Magazine about labiaplasty as an operation, the goals of surgery, and the techniques that I use to achieve superior results for my discerning patients.

The following images are actual patients of mine from my New York City practice. Each woman is different, and each labiaplasty I perform is different. Several of the patients pictured are revision patients, who first had their operations done by other doctors and came to me because they were unhappy with their results. Some of the women are shown just 6 days after surgery, and some are shown 6 weeks after surgery. Some of them are older, and some are younger.

All of them have excellent, durable, symmetrical, and natural looking results, without visible scars or obvious signs of surgery. This is the distinction that I provide patients who choose to come to my private practice, rather than going to a "labiaplasty center" or teaching hospital.

Your first week after Eyelift (Blepharoplasty) Surgery

Blepharoplasty (eyelid rejuvenation for tired-looking eyes) is one of my favorite, signature operations. Pictured is an actual patient of mine immediately after (left) and 6 days after (right) a lower eyelid lift. This surgery removes puffy bags and excess skin under the eyes, giving the face a more refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.

Many patients ask me what to expect in terms of their recovery. Immediately after surgery (left) you will have stitches under your eyes (or in some cases hidden inside the pink part of your eyes). It is normal to have bruising and swelling, which peak around 2-3 days after surgery. By one week, you will look very good, although the scar is still immature, as you can see in this photo (right). By 2 weeks, the scar is almost gone, and after a month or more, the scar is almost invisible.

If you are thinking about eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty, I encourage you to learn more by coming to my New York City office for a consultation. We will discuss your medical and surgical history, perform a full examination of your eyes, make all necessary measurements, take photographs, and plan an operation that is customized to your exact desires and expectations. For me, this means a natural-looking procedure without obvious signs of surgery, an operation that retains the natural character and shape of your eyes, and a result that makes you look like the best version of yourself, not like someone else.

Real Lip Augmentation Results by Dr. Devgan

Getting lip injections (or lip augmentation with injectable filler) can either be subtle or dramatic. I am fortunate to have some of the most discerning women and men in the world as my patients, and my priority for each patient is to match their expectations. That means that I custom-tailor my lip augmentation approach to create anything from a subtle, "barely done" appearance to a voluptuous, sultry look.

These are some examples of recent lip augmentation patients in my New York City private practice. All patients were personally injected by me, with my expert injector technique: sterilization of the skin, FDA-approved products, facial analysis, measurement, marking, numbing cream, vibration pain relief, precision micro-droplet injection, antibiotic ointment, and ice.

Lip augmentation with Juvederm or Restylane typically takes a few minutes, and results last up to a year (typically 9-12 months, with the newest generation of products). I do everything possible to minimize pain, bruising, and swelling, although it is always wise to plan your injections 1-2 weeks before an important event.

When can you return to exercise after a breast augmentation?

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States, as well as in my New York City private practice. Many breast implant patients live active lifestyles and partake in a variety of sports and activities, including spinning, yoga, running, weight-lifting, and swimming.

Activity restrictions after surgery vary from person to person and surgeon to surgeon. My general guidelines are to avoid strenuous activity and aggressive sports for at least 4 to 6 weeks. Immediately after surgery, you will be able to go for a walk and do routine activities of daily living such as going shopping or going to lunch. Starting at about 1 week after surgery, many women will be able to return to light activities such as longer walks and light use of an elliptical trainer. More strenuous activities than that depend on your healing progress as well as your plastic surgeon's recommendations.
