NewBeauty publishes Dr. Devgan's opinion on the future of Facelifting

The article “Is This the Future of Facelifting?” from NewBeauty features Dr. Devgan’s facelift forecasts for 2019 in which she discusses her opinion that as patients become more savvy, what matters most is the surgeon.

“I predict smaller interventions at earlier ages, shorter incisions in more discreet locations, and even more conservative and natural-look-ing results. The ‘Park Avenue 1990s’ look— surprised, taut, shiny—is definitely over,” says New York plastic surgeon Lara Devgan, MD. “I also foresee more educated consumers who will be less susceptible to the marketing of confusion—this strange notion that every plastic surgeon has a new and wholly unique method for well-established procedures such as browlift, facelift and necklift. There are a number of variations in surgical techniques, and every procedure is customized to every patient, but eventually savvy patients will realize that what matters most is a surgeon’s training, aesthetic judgment and delicacy of dissection—not the marketing of a new, well-branded term.”

Dr. Devgan featured in NewBeauty on Facelift Downtimes

A facelift surgery can be a nerve-wracking experience but with medical advances, it is a procedure that is now more patient- friendly. NewBeauty recently published a piece on what can be expected in the aftermath of a facelift. In the article, plastic surgeons discuss their opinions on downtimes and recovery times for a facelift.

Dr. Devgan writes “It’s not uncommon for bruising and swelling to last several weeks. You want to stay well-hydrated, minimize salty foods and sleep on your back with your head elevated on two pillows. Stitches come out about a week after surgery. After two weeks, most people look and feel good enough to dine out, and by four to six weeks, they’re comfortable going to big events. Final results—complete healing and scar maturation—typically take a full year.”

"Now, Stickers with Microneedles can Help Fix Everything from Acne to Wrinkles" - Dr. Devgan Featured on Vogue

Vogue.com recently published an article “Now, Stickers with Microneedles can Help Fix Everything from Acne to Wrinkles,” which garners expert opinions on the latest at skincare innovations, from lasers to acne vacuums. Dr. Devgan shares her advice on today’s top skincare solutions.

When it comes to cystic acne, the best solutions are those beyond topical creams. The pimples are too deep in the skin, and require more invasive techniques. “The most innovative new skincare delivery system is microinfusion. In your doctor’s office, that comes in the form of microinfusion microneedling (aka the botox facial with PRP), but for at-home products, the microdart technology has the same idea of active ingredients being placed closer to where they need to be,” Dr. Devgan shares. These methods allow the skin-healing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and salicycle acid to reach the infected areas more effectively.

The article goes on to address other skincare concerns like hyperpigmentation and sagging, tired skin. As there are a number of new products out on the market claiming to solve these problems, they aren’t going to be as effective as injectable fillers or medial facials. Specifically, Dr. Devgan’s IPL photo facial is a perfect solution for hyperpigmentation concerns. Additionally, when it comes to sagging skin, very few products on the market are going to provide as effective results as injectable fillers. Read full article here.

Dr. Devgan Featured in New Beauty's Comprehensive Guide to Facelift Surgery

New Beauty Magazine recently published an article citing top plastic surgeons on the past, present, and future of facelift surgery. Dr. Devgan, among the elite facelift specialists, weighed in on important questions, including when to consider a facelift and what to expect after the procedure, focusing on patient education and awareness.

Dr. Devgan is featured as the article questions if there is a right time to consider a facelift, stating “When it’s not just some horizontal forehead lines anymore—it’s midface descent, jowling and laxity of the neck. Those, to me, are the three stigmata of facial aging that are the most difficult to fix with fillers.” Dr. Devgan ultimately advises that facelifts are empowered to “solve one or more of those problems in a way the technique of injectables is not powered to handle.”

Dr. Devgan also weighs in on her predictions of what the future of facelift surgery will bring. She predicts “smaller interventions at earlier ages, shorter incisions in more discreet locations, and even more conservative and natural-looking results.” Dr. Devgan also places importance on furthering patient education. She states that “savvy patients will realize that what matters most is a surgeon’s training, aesthetic judgment and delicacy of dissection—not the marketing of a new, well-branded term.”

"11 Doctors Can't Be Wrong About Skin Care" - Dr. Devgan Featured on Glamour.com

Glamour.com recently published a video, asking top doctors all our skincare questions. Dr. Devgan was among the elite list, offering her expertise to the beauty site. Rather than stopping short of a second or third opinion, Glamour got eleven opinions on skincare FAQs, from how to safely tan to the next big thing in skincare.

“Stop touching your skin. That’s the worst crime you can commit!” Dr. Devgan starts off the video by saying. We go on to hear many dos and don’ts, and all there is in between. “There is no healthy way to tan. The sun will give you oxidative damage to the skin, increase fine lines, it’ll give you brown spots, make you look older, and it might give you cancer.” This was a major “don’t”, as the other doctors chimed in in agreement, and adding that the only safe way to tan is out of a bottle, no matter how dark your skin is.

The video goes on to debunk major misconceptions about lip injections, most notably that you won’t leave the doctor’s office looking like Jessica Rabbit, and they can, in fact, be removed. The video concludes with what may possibly be the most exciting question, asking the doctors, “what’s the next big thing in skincare?” From CBD oil-infused products, to bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol, there seem to be quite a few products up and coming. Dr. Devgan adds, “I think honey bee propolis is going to be the next big thing. It’s a wound heeling agent that you actually find in surgical ICUs and burn units all over the world, and increasingly we’re using it to moisturize the skin.”
