"Here's How To Help Your Injectable Filler Last Longer" - Dr. Devgan featured on The Zoe Report

The Zoe Report recently published an article entitled “Here’s How to Help Your Injectable Filler Last Longer” discussing all the ways to limit the constant upkeep of temporary fillers. Injectable fillers offer patients a wide range of noninvasive cosmetic enhancements, with one major downside - they can only last so long. Filler longevity ultimately depends on the metabolism of the patient. "You can give 10 people the same recipe of fillers in the exact same location, and one person will metabolize that right away in three months, and the other person will be great and happy after two years. So there’s some variability. It’s not fair, but it is what it is,” Dr. Devgan says.

There are some tips to help lengthen the life of fillers: location and reducing pressure to the area. When it comes to location, active areas like the mouth and jaw are going to contribute to the fillers breaking down faster than, say, the cheek or tear trough area. Similarly, reducing pressure to the filler site can also prevent premature breaking down. For example, wearing heavy glasses after a nonsurgical rhinoplasty can add unnecessary pressure to the filler, reducing the lasting effects.

"It’s not inconceivable that in our lifetimes we could do a procedure like a nonsurgical rhinoplasty and do it once every five years instead of once every eight to sixteen months," Dr. Devgan adds. Thanks to current research, the lifespan of safe, dissolvable fillers is ever-evolving. "[That's] where the industry is headed. We want to preserve the attributes of the current fillers that we have ... The disadvantages are that they don’t last forever. So if we can square the circle, then we would be in a very cool place."

"Listen up Khloe! As the Kardashian Admits She's Thinking About Getting a Post-Baby Boob Job..." Dr. Devgan Featured as Breast Surgery Expert on The Daily Mail.

When Khloe Kardashian recently made news due to her confession of wanting her breasts done following her pregnancy, The Daily Mail reached out to Dr. Devgan for her expert advice on the subject.

Many new moms consider breast procedures for a rejuvenated look and fresher cleavage. Dr. Devgan says, “Volume and reshaping are required for full cleavage. We can do this either with breast implants or with auto-augmentation [breast lift] —  a technique where a patient’s own breast tissue is rearranged in a more perky and round manner.'‘

Breast augmentations continue to be one of the most popular procedures in the plastic surgery field, with procedure times ranging between 30-60 minutes. Dr. Devgan has performed over 100 breast procedures since 2016, and recommends smooth implants over textured due to a more natural feel, and fewer issues for patients. Read the full article here.

"A Man Had Part of His Ear Cut Out in a Controversial “Conch Removal” Procedure" - Dr. Devgan Weighs in for Allure

People all over the world are talking about Charles V. Bentley, the Australian man who had portions of his external ear removed, perhaps one of the most extreme versions of body modification. After images circulated of Bentley’s stitched up ears, otolaryngologists to plastic surgeons have thoughts about the procedure.

Bentley went to a “body modification artist” in Stockholm, Sweden, since most doctors highly discourage such a procedure. By altering the natural shape of the ear, the functionality will most definitely be affected, not to mention the residual side effects and small chance of reversal.

Allure reached out to Dr. Devgan, who says, "The risks of conch removal include bleeding, infection, undesirable scarring, wound healing issues, and the extreme difficulty of reversal. Conch removal is not easily reversed due to the complex anatomy of the ear, the importance of the cartilage support network, and the tenuous blood supply there. A combination of tissue flaps and grafts, which are highly complex plastic surgery procedures, would be needed." Read full article here.
