Some of the greatest challenges in plastic surgery come from correcting the results of previous procedures done by other doctors that have left a patient with a less than satisfactory result.
In these situations, I make every effort to fully understand why the patient is not satisfied, to review the records and operative notes of previous surgeries, and to make a coherent and goal-oriented plan for moving forward.
I have performed revision operations from the head to the toe, on patients who have had unsatisfactory eyelid surgery, facelifts, necklifts, rhinoplasties, breast augmentations, breast lifts, tummy tucks, liposuction, and labiaplasties-- among other operations.
While revision surgery is often more complicated due to additional scarring and altered tissue planes, the results can be very gratifying when I am able to help a concerned individual achieve his or her goals.

Many women visit my New York City private practice with concerns related to their breasts. One frequent cause for concern is breasts that are droopy, deflated, or sagging below their ideal position.
This can occur due to genetics, tissue quality, breast feeding, weight fluctuations, and aging.
My approach to helping women in this situation is to perform a breast lift operation (also called a mastopexy). My goals are to:
I can accomplish this through a variety of techniques, including peri-areolar breast lift (scar around the nipples only), lollipop breast lift (scar around the nipples and extending down vertically), and Wise pattern breast lift (anchor-shaped scar). Patient satisfaction in my practice is very high, and I take great care to ensure high-quality results and compassionate care for all of my patients.
If you are interested in a breast lift and would like to discuss your concerns with me in more detail, I invite you to call my office at 212-452-2400 or email office@LaraDevganMD.com.
I am honored to be a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, the largest and most respected group of board-certified surgeons in the world. The press release for my induction into this professional designation, provided by the American College of Surgeons, is featured below.
New York, New York: Dr. Lara Devgan was among 1,823 Initiates from around the world who became Fellows of the American College of Surgeons (FACS) during the Convocation ceremony at the College’s 2016 annual Clinical Congress in Washington, DC, last month. This year’s class of Initiates was among one of the largest ever admitted into the College.
Dr. Devgan received a medical doctorate from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and is currently practicing plastic and reconstructive surgery at her own clinic, Lara Devgan, MD, PLLC, located in New York City. Dr. Devgan is a Diplomate of the American Board of Plastic Surgery and attained board certification with board scores in the top 3 percent in the nation.
Dr. Devgan has a strong professional interest in cosmetic surgery of the face, breasts, and body, as well as minimally invasive procedures such as botox, fillers, peels, microneedling, and skin care. She holds membership in other professional societies, including the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
By meeting the College’s stringent membership requirements, Fellows of the College have earned the distinguished right to use the designation of “FACS” (Fellow, American College of Surgeons) after their names. An applicant for Fellowship must be a graduate of an approved medical school; must have completed advanced training in one of the 14 surgical specialties recognized by the College; must possess certification by an American surgical specialty board or appropriate certification by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada; and must have been in practice for at least one year at the time of his or her application. Before admission into Fellowship, the surgeon must further demonstrate ethical fitness and professional proficiency, and his or her acceptance as a Fellow of the College must be approved by three-fourths of its Board of Regents.
The Convocation ceremony was the highlight of the five-day Congress at which initiation into ACS Fellowship took place. The Congress also featured reports on research-in-progress, postgraduate courses, panel discussions, symposia, and scientific and industrial exhibits. Total estimated attendance at the Congress was 11,745, including 8,127 physicians. Allied health professionals and members of the scientific and consumer media also attended the meeting.
The American College of Surgeons is a scientific and educational organization of surgeons that was founded in 1913 to raise the standards of surgical practice and to improve the quality of care for the surgical patient. The College is dedicated to the ethical and competent practice of surgery. Its achievements have established it as an important advocate for all surgical patients.

Many patients like the overall size and shape of their noses, but desire some additional subtle refinement of the nasal tip.
The tip of the nose is an aesthetically important anatomic area for several reasons:
If the tip of the nose is boxy, bulbous, or overly large, a tip rhinoplasty can be an effective operation to subtly improve the proportions of the face. Using hidden incisions, I am able to make the nose appear more harmonious and attractive, without making you look like a completely different person.
Most patients take 1 week off of work or school to recover. Results are immediately apparent, but they take up to one year to fully materialize, as the nose can retain a tiny bit of swelling and fluid over a prolonged period of time. Bruising is not common after tip rhinoplasty, but any small bruises or areas of discoloration can be covered by makeup after 2-3 days.
If you are interested in seeing me for nose surgery (nose job), rhinoplasty, or tip rhinoplasty, please email office@LaraDevganMD.com or call 212-452-2400.
