Tear trough augmentation for dark circles and undereye hollows

Undereye dark circles and hollows are a common complaint among patients in my New York City private practice. While surgery remains the gold standard treatment for this area, tear trough augmentation is a minimally invasive and remarkable way to rejuvenate the under-eye.

Undereye augmentation is performed with careful microdroplet injection of hyaluronic-based filler. The procedure takes a few minutes, lasts 1-2 years, and has no associated downtime. Final results typically take about 3 weeks. Tear trough augmentation is one of the most popular procedures in my practice, with an extremely high patient satisfaction rating.

Dr. Devgan is honored to be exhibiting her artwork at Lenox Hill Hospital next month. Her pieces are photographs of multi-media sketches of surgical specimens, pictured above. They reveal a glimpse of the artistry behind some of her most frequently performed operations, including facelift, necklift, blepharoplasty, and rhinoplasty.

The Lenox Hill Hospital Art Exhibition is being hosted by the Lenox Hill Hospital Auxiliary Board. The opening reception will take place on April 5, 2017.

Medical-grade chemical peels

Chemical peels are an amazing way to resurface the skin, improve fine lines, reduce sun spots, and revitalize the complexion.

Not all chemical peels are the same. There are many strengths, ingredients, modalities, depths, and types of peels, and I tailor each one to your unique characteristics and concerns.

The peel shown here is a mixed modality moderate to deep peel with 10 days of redness and peeling. For people who want less downtime, I also offer peels that have almost no peeling and won't keep you away from work or activities. 

Peels are in the same category as lasers and microneedling-- all are ways to resurface the skin and improve your complexion. The best method for you depends on your skin type, complexion, concerns, and goals.

I am a meme!

I am amused to report that I have been made into a meme on Betches, a popular social media and lifestyle account for Millenial women. Betches was co-founded by three young female entrepreneurs, and it boasts an audience of over 5 million Millenial and Generation Y women. For the record, I think both of these cats are beautiful!

Tear trough augmentation in my New York City practice

Tear trough augmentation is my signature injectable technique for rejuvenating the under-eye area without surgery, pain, or downtime.

By carefully analyzing a patient's periorbital anatomy, I am able to soften undereye hollowing, lighten the appearance of dark circles, and smooth out the appearance of under-eye bags. While surgery remains the gold standard, for those patients who are not surgical candidates or who don't want the downtime of surgery, tear trough augmentation is an excellent option. It takes a few minutes, lasts up to 1-2 years, and has results that are immediately apparent.
