Every Patient is Unique: Dr. Devgan provides perspective on treating young patients

This month, Dr. Devgan gave her standpoint to the Observer on minors consulting for plastic surgery procedures. She states in the article, “There are young patients for whom the right answer will be not to have surgery, but there are also those who would be excellent candidates.” 

Not all patients have the same needs or desires. With parental consent and careful examination processes, plastic surgery may be an option for minors or young adult patients. With Dr. Devgan’s mindset, she has had “an incredibly busy summer, starting in June.”

Dr. Devgan typically has surgeries scheduled well in advance; however, there are always phone calls coming late in the summer before the onset of school. Many of her patients, from all ages, are hoping for quick recovery. Dr. Devgan states in the Observer article that she will do,”…everything [she] can to accommodate them.” Some of the most sought-after procedures by young women in Dr. Devgan’s practice are breast augmentation, rhinoplasty (both surgical and non-surgical), and labiaplasty.

Natural appearing breast augmentation can help young women gain confidence and create an overall beautiful shape. Rhinoplasty allows for patients to feel self-assured in their facial features, especially after injury from sports or car accident. Labiaplasty is a procedure that can help women of all ages feel less discomfort while walking and playing sports. Each of these popular options for procedures can be used for everyday advancement in the health of a patient or for aesthetic purposes, whichever option is chosen is solely up to the individual seeking treatment.

No matter the age of a patient, plastic surgery may be an option in order to reconstruct problematic areas of the body or to create an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Ultimately, it is the decision of the patient, the patient’s guardian (if the patient is a minor), and the doctor to decide when and where options of plastic surgery seem appropriate.

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.
