Harper's BAZAAR's Senior Beauty Editor Jenna Rosenstein to Chat with Dr. Devgan About the Aesthetics Revolution at SXSW

Dr. Devgan and the RealSelf team have been busy organizing an amazing itinerary celebrating modern beauty kicking off this weekend, and culminating in a one-on-one conversation between Dr. Devgan and Harper’s BAZAAR’s Senior Beauty Editor, Jenna Rosenstein.

Rosenstein and Dr. Devgan will be chatting about the future of the Aesthetic Revolution: how the industry is being de-stigmatized, from the “uberization” of cosmetic enhancement, to the advancement and affordability of nonsurgical procedures. Dr. Devgan says, "Increased conversation, whether through mainstream media, social sharing, or a conference podium, can lead to greater understanding and acceptance. Our definition of beauty is evolving and more people are supporting the idea that it's about one individual and what makes them feel confident at the end of the day."

You won’t want to miss this chat! Be sure to stop by on Sunday, March 10 at 3:30pm on the 3rd floor of the Congressional Building. Click here for more details about this event.

The Stealthy Lies People Tell to Cover up Their Plastic Surgery - Dr. Devgan featured in Town & Country

Dr. Devgan was recently featured in Town & Country’s article “The Stealthy Lies People Tell to Cover up Their Plastic Surgery,” which breaks down the lengths patients will go to keep their work private, from hiding the financial proof to disguising the results.

The most common subterfuges surrounding cosmetic procedures center around the price tag. Shared bank accounts often make it difficult to keep personal investments private, so patients will utilize the use of cash, gift cards, or even by scheduling other medical treatments to mask their spending.

Though hiding side-affects like bruising and swelling often require creative ploys, the real challenge comes from explaining the final results. Dr. Devgan mentions the benefits of distraction, “"for example, bright red lipstick or a new hair color. The human mind just wants to hang its hat on something— not necessarily your full medical record— so if you look fresh and you just changed your hair color, that’s enough for most people.” Read the full article here.

Women Are Getting Plastic Surgery to Look Like Meghan Markle - Dr. Devgan featured on Yahoo! Lifestyle

Dr. Devgan was recently interviewed on Yahoo! Lifestyle in an article entitled “Women Are Getting Plastic Surgery to Look Like Meghan Markle.” The article explores one of the latest beauty trends: women modeling their cosmetic ideal after the Duchess of Cambridge.

Since Meghan Markle burst into international spotlight, women of all ethnicities are using her as their inspiration when visiting their plastic surgeons. Dr. Devgan mentions, “She represents the broadening of widespread cultural beauty standards that I think can make a lot more people feel at home in the world.” From her nose to her lips, even her skin, women are hoping to re-create Markle’s look. Dr. Devgan adds that her Gold Microinfusion Facial is one of the best solutions to achieve the flawless skin of the Duchess. This procedure “uses a small mechanized device to make thousands of controlled-depth needle punctures on the surface of the skin. Each one of those instills a minuscule quantity of a custom combination of botox, fillers and skincare products which work together to give the skin a really glowy look,” says Devgan.

The article also explores whether it’s healthy to envy another’s appearance. Devgan clearly notes the difference between the extremes, “If you’re trying to physically morph into another human being, that’s not realistic and it may speak to a larger problem in terms of your mindset and expectations, but if you’re using an image purely to communicate your goal or inspiration then I think that’s totally fine.

Why has society labeled those who care about their looks as superficial and lacking substance? Dr. Devgan recently shared on Instagram, “To me, modern beauty means empowering people to be their own kind of beautiful—no judgment, no hating, no toxicity, and no presumption that one person’s values should dictate what another person does with his or her face, body, and life.” If you can’t wait to hear more, be sure to join Dr. Devgan and the RealSelf team at SXSW!
