DR. DEVGAN FEATURED IN WOMEN'S HEALTH MAGAZINE

In a Women’s Health article, Dr. Devgan shares her thoughts on how to approach the topic of cosmetic procedures with your children.

The article discusses the complex parenting issue, questioning whether there is reconciliation between being honest with your kids and preventing excessive concern about appearances. 

Many of Dr. Devgan’s patients keep their procedures from their kids because “it’s tricky to reconcile those messages of ‘You’re perfect the way you are’ with ‘Mommy wants to change this little thing.’”

While the article considers the possible benefits of being more candid with your kids, Dr. Devgan says, “The idea that people may not like the way they look and that one’s appearance can be changed medically—that’s completely off the table in my family right now. No one wants to steer a child in to self-scrutiny.”

DR. DEVGAN FEATURED IN HUFFINGTON POST

Dr. Devgan featured in Huffington Post article on female patterns hair loss. She discusses treatments as well as contributing factors that people may be unaware of.

One important thing people can do if they notice they are losing their hair is to not wait to seek treatment.

“The sooner you seek intervention, the better, most of the time. Hair loss can be a very sensitive topic and it can be embarrassing or stigmatized or difficult to talk about, but if you are noticing hair loss and you speak to a doctor sooner rather than later, you have a higher likelihood of preserving the integrity of your hair.” 

Hair loss is challenging to treat because it is multifactorial and often hard to elucidate. If you are experiencing hair loss, don’t panic, here are a few of Dr. Devan's recommendations:

1) See your internist to rule out underlying medical issues.

2) Avoid behaviors that contribute to hair loss (extensions, frequent color, repetitive partings, tight hair styles, and regular heat styling)

3)  Talk to your doctor about vitamins and topicals including folate, biotin, and minoxidil.

4) Consider PRP injections to deliver growth factors to the scalp.

 “When PRP is injected into the scalp in a series of four to six sessions over the course of six months, we see a nice improvement in hair growth and I think this is something people haven’t necessarily heard about.”

Dr. Devgan featured in Yahoo News article, Brazilian Butt Lifts Are Resulting In An Alarmingly High Mortality Rate.

This article discusses why people may be drawn to having Brazilian Butt Lifts, the risks involved, how to mitigate some of those risks, as well as non-surgical alternatives to BBL surgery. 

Some reasons why people may be drawn to having a Brazilian Butt Lift are:

“[P]eople are attracted to the BBL because it leaves patients with more of an hourglass figure. ’You’re losing prominence and fullness of the abdomen and waist, but you’re gaining some prominence and fullness of the buttock.’”

With any surgery there are risks, one of the ways a patient can reduce some of the risks involved with cosmetic procedures is to make sure they are treated by a board certified plastic surgeon that is experienced in the procedure that they are interested in.

“Plastic surgery, in some ways, has become the Wild West,” Devgan said, adding that “all sorts of physicians of all descriptions, whether or not they have formal training in the discipline, are going out there, hanging up the shingle and performing plastic surgery.”
