Tear Trough Augmentation in my New York City practice: My signature technique for reducing dark undereye circles

Dark circles and hollows around the eyes are a frequent complaint among men and women in my New York City private practice. The most definitive treatment for these issues is surgery: lower eyelid blepharoplasty with fat grafting-- one of my favorite operations.

For patients who are not ready for surgery or who prefer a less invasive approach, injectable tear trough augmentation is a very powerful option. Using my signature metric-based technique, I layer hyaluronic acid based filler in the undereye area to lighten the appearance of dark circles, fill in hollows, and create a more youthful undereye appearance.

Tear trough augmentation takes a few minutes, lasts 1-2 years, and has no associated downtime. Results are immediately apparent but improve over the course of several weeks.

Botox 101: How to use Botox for cosmetic improvements of the face

Actual patient of Dr. Devgan prior to Botox injections

Botox is one of my favorite cosmetic interventions because it is so powerful and yet so minimally invasive. When performed well, Botox (and other neuromodulators such as Xeomin and Dysport) can relax facial muscles, make facial expressions more pleasing, and soften wrinkles and fine lines-- without making you look frozen or fake.

The key to natural looking Botox administration is in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy. By using microdroplet injection, careful measurement, and deliberate marking, I am able to individually target facial muscles to achieve natural-looking and youthful results.

Botox takes a few minutes, lasts 3-4 months, and improves the complexion, resting expression, and animated look of the face. For questions about Botox or other injectables, please contact my office.

Chemical peels for improved complexion

Actual patient of Dr. Devgan, before and after deep chemical peel.

This lovely patient was unhappy with her complexion after years of sun damage, brown spots, freckles, and melasma. I treated her with a deep chemical peel to achieve this significant improvement in her evenness and skin tone.

A deep chemical peel has about a week of downtime. It is an excellent treatment to combine with a surgical procedure, when you might be taking time off of work anyway. If you don't have the downtime to be out of the public eye for a week, I also perform moderate-depth mixed-modality chemical peels that have minimal to no visible peeling and no downtime.

Deep chemical peels may not be suited for all skin types and are safest for fair-skinned patients with sun damage. They are excellent for lightening dark spots and getting rid of fine lines.

Microliposculpture for submental fullness (double chin)

Actual patient of Dr. Devgan, before and 1 day after submental liposuction

Submental liposuction is one of my favorite surgical techniques for addressing a double chin, or excess fat tissue under the chin. In a 20 minute procedure performed under local anesthesia alone, your profile can be completely revamped, and your face can be made to look significantly thinner and younger.

Submental liposuction is a midpoint between Kybella (the fat melting injection deoxycholic acid) and a full surgical necklift. It is an excellent option for those desiring an improved neck with minimal downtime and fast recovery.
