Dr. Devgan offers guidance on ankle fat deposits in Zwivel article

Recently, Dr. Devgan was inquired, along with other top board-certified plastic surgeons, to give her guidance on how to rid ankle fat deposits, more commonly known as “cankles”. Ankles, as Dr. Devgan states in the article, “…are prone to fat depositions…” Dr. Devgan believes, “Most of the time, cankles are not related to obesity or being overweight.” Rather, “…genetic tendencies and body type…” are often causes of fat deposits in the ankles. Unfortunately, this means ankles can also be resistant to change even with consistent diet and exercise. Dr. Devgan believes that liposculpture is the best procedure for lasting results while ensuring tissue differentiation.”

Dr. Devgan noted on Zwivel.com as a top plastic surgeon

Liposculpture is a cosmetic procedure using a tool known as cannula. A cannula is a stainless steel tool that extracts fat deposits in a variety of procedures. Selecting particular cannula size is of the utmost importance to obtaining sought after patient results from an ankle liposculpture. In order to create a beautiful shape and get rid of pesky fat deposits, Dr. Devgan chooses fine tipped cannulae to ensure optimal outcomes while also keeping surrounding tissue healthy. By using the proper sized cannula, doing thorough examinations, and meticulously preparing, patients can expect to see, according to Dr. Devgan, “[a] lower leg appear slimmer and more defined.”

It should be noted that while noninvasive procedures exist, Dr. Devgan considers the effects to be of noticeably lower quality. As she stated in the Zwivel article, “They are not able to precisely differentiate between fat depositions, tendons, arteries, veins, nerves, muscles, bone, and soft tissue, and this limits their utility.” There are noted side effects of swelling and edema for liposculpture; however, with a top board-certified plastic surgeon excelling in anatomy and physiology, such as Dr. Devgan, the risks can be minimized. With the upsides to a minimally invasive procedure and confirmed lasting results, Dr. Devgan hopes all patients with stubborn ankle fat deposits wishing to make a change would consider liposculpture.

The Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Procedure

The non-surgical rhinoplasty is becoming an increasingly popular procedure, especially in Dr. Lara Devgan’s private practice in New York City.

The non-surgical rhinoplasty uses a filler in order to fill in areas of the nose to create a certain look and shape, or to make a correction of the physical appearance of the bone structure of the nose.

Many patients come in to see what their desired nose shape would look like before committing to a surgical rhinoplasty. Other patients come in each year or every other year to make slight changes to the nose shape without going through any invasive procedures to achieve their goals.

Many patients ask if a non-surgical rhinoplasty makes the nose look wide or bulbous from the front view. Provided that the procedure is performed with a delicate hand and an artistic eye, the nose does not look wide or bulbous from a front view. Dr. Devgan uses micro droplet injections, which allows her to use the minimum amount of filler for visibly noticeable results. This way, patients can achieve their desired look without having a significant amount of volume added to their nose. Because of this, the nose appears to remain the same size, as the amount of filler in each dispersed area is quite minimal.

A non-surgical rhinoplasty takes a few minutes, lasts 1-2 years, and has no associated time off from work or social functions. It uses fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, and others for a non-operative nose correction. The type of filler depends on the patient's anatomic characteristics and desired results.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon who is capable of traditional surgical rhinoplasty as well, Dr. Devgan is qualified to offer my patients an unbiased approach that is best for their unique circumstances.

A non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure is a great option to get a desired look of the nose without any invasive procedures or downtime.

Procedures for Excess Fat Underneath the Chin

It is common to have excess skin and fat underneath the chin leading to the neck area. Many would call this a ‘double-chin.’ For some, it is not problematic but for others, it can be an area of insecurity. Many avoid looking down as this can be a way to pronounce a double-chin, and others find that they do not like the appearance of it in pictures and videos. Any insecurities can make us feel like we cannot do the things we want to do or fully be ourselves. This can leave us with a burden that constantly remains in the back of our minds whether we are facing personal situations or social situations.

In Dr. Devgan’s practice in the Upper East Side of New York City, she comes across many patients that face insecurities with the so called ‘double-chin.’ For those looking for a solution, Dr. Devgan offers procedures such as Kybella and submental liposuction. Kybella is a popular solution. it is an FDA approved injectable enzyme that permanently and effectively dissolves fat under the chin. Typically, patients require one to six treatments spaced out by about six to eight weeks and as a result, fat under the chin permanently melts, with an associated skin tightening effect. This is a great option for those looking for a non-invasive procedure to get rid of the excess fat underneath the chin. Although the results are not completely immediate, results can be seen over a few days and weeks, as the fat dissolving enzyme takes some time to work.

Dr. Devgan uses Kybella injections on a patient. 

As an alternative, which offers results that can be immediately seen, many opt for submental liposuction, or otherwise known as microliposculpture. With this procedure, patients can achieve dramatic results of the overall physical anatomy of their face. By using one to three tiny 0.5 centimeter incisions placed in various inconspicuous locations, an experienced plastic surgeon is able to refine and define the lower face.

Another option available to patients is a neck lift. A neck lift is a surgical procedure that improves the physical appearance of the neck and the jaw line. This is also a procedure that results in instant gratification, as the results can be immediately seen after surgery. Dr. Devgan keeps incision marks minimal and places them in inconspicuous areas, as to not make them apparent.

All of the following procedures are great options to get rid of unwanted excess fat underneath the chin and are highly effective.
