DR. DEVGAN FEATURED ON BETCHES PODCAST

Dr. Devgan shares her thoughts on maintaining a work-life balance on Betches’ When’s Happy Hour podcast.

For those striving for success in their career, Dr. Devgan says patience and dedication are key, especially for women working in male-dominated fields like plastic surgery.

“You’re working twice as hard to prove yourself and maybe getting half the credit,” she says. “If you work really hard you’ll be able to change the paradigms that are holding you back.”

However, Dr. Devgan cautions against the commonly-held belief that one can have it all, as social media often implies.

“You don’t have it all every minute of your life,” she says. “You have the things you need overall, but some more at certain times and others more at other times.”

DR. DEVGAN RECOMMENDS HER FAVORITE HAND CREAM IN GLAMOUR ARTICLE

Dr. Devgan is featured in a recent Glamour article, “11 Surgeons and Doctors on the Hand Creams They Swear By.”

“Surgeons are battlefield experts in hand care because, whether we want to be or not, frequent hand washing, dryness, chapped joints, and need for full function are real parts of our lives,” Dr. Devgan said. “I wash my hands hundreds of times a week—sometimes more than 50 times a day—so I’m always thinking about how to best take care of them.” 

Dr. Devgan’s recommendation is the Dr. Devgan Scientific Beauty Platinum Recovery Cream, which she specifically created to calm and repair inflamed, dry, and irritated skin. Its quality ingredients are highly effective at restoring the skin’s barrier function and keeping skin hydrated and supple.

DR. DEVGAN'S PATIENT DISCUSSES HIS PROCEDURE IN POPSUGAR ARTICLE

In an essay published in POPSUGAR, a male patient of Dr. Devgan’s explains how getting a noninvasive chin augmentation has helped him with his self-esteem and his career.

The article was published in light of a RealSelf Aesthetics Interest Survey, which revealed that men are 36 percent more likely than women to seek plastic surgery to get ahead at work.

The patient, a 40-year-old finance professional, works at a private equity firm in New York City.

“In finance, appearances matter, especially in a place like New York, and we’re all trying to show ourselves from our best angles,” he said.

While considering getting work done on his chin and jawline, he “did a lot of homework on plastic surgeons and found Dr. Lara Devgan, who had a really good background and reviews online.”

He discovered that while Dr. Devgan sees many male patients, many of them keep their procedures secret.  

“There are certainly cultural expectations about what is acceptable behavior for guys and what's not, but that might be changing: there seems to be a growing acceptance with men caring about grooming, skin care, health care, and fitness, so cosmetic surgery probably fits into all that,” he said. 

Dr. Devgan’s patient likened his procedure to putting on a really nice suit, in the way that it boosted his confidence. 

“I'm super happy with the result,” he said. “It's just the better version of how I looked before, which makes the procedure a home run, as far as I'm concerned. Now, in three years, when it wears out, I'm definitely going to go back and have it done again.”
