Dr. Devgan's Take on Achieving the Perfect Jawline Featured in New Beauty

The trend of “razor-sharp jawlines” is on the rise, and we are here for ALL of it. In New Beauty’s recent article, The Right Angles, Dr. Devgan was interviewed on people’s increased interest in procedures for jawline sculpting. From filler to kybella to buccal fat pad excision, there are tons of options for people who are looking to add more definition to the jawline. This article discusses 3 different ways to achieve this look.

The first way to create a jawline contour is to “Shrink.” These options include  fat blasting tools like kybella, CoolSculpt, submental liposuction, and buccal fat pad excision. In this article, Dr. Devgan speaks on buccal fat pad excision, which is quickly becoming one of her most-asked-for procedures. While performing a buccal fat pad excision,  Dr. Devgan focuses on the small, highly detailed nuances of the face, which “Decreases the heaviness of the tissue that contributes to jowling” and “Debulksheaviness [that] can create a cleaner, leaner jawline contour.”

Another way to create jawline contour is to “Shape.” These options include botox in the masseters, dermal filler in the jawline, and adding chin implants for a more permanent solution. As Dr. Devgan’s signature facial optimization has become popularized, many patients want non-surgical and non-invasive options to contour the jawline using injectable filler. 

If you are looking for a  more invasive and permanent solution to contour the jawline, you can “Elevate” with surgical procedures. Dr. Devgan’s favorite surgical procedure is a facelift, which is by far the gold standard for any laxity or drooping skin on the face and neck. By focusing on the unique structure of the face, facelifts help to create a defined jawline that accentuates that natural shape of the face. Whether you are looking for a surgical or non-surgical procedure, there are many options to create the perfect jawline.

Dr. Devgan Featured in Harper's Bazaar Article all about Cheek Filler

Harper’s Bazaar featured Dr. Devgan discussing one of her most commonly performed and most asked for procedures--cheek filler. Dr Devgan says, “In the world of plastic surgeons, cheekbones are thought to represent 70% of  facial beauty.” In that case, who wouldn’t want to add a little volume to their natural cheekbone?

As Dr. Devgan states, “Cheek bones are really the heart of bone structure of the face.” By subtly optimizing your natural bone structure, fillers can help to achieve these results by lifting and contouring the cheekbones, creating a central shadow that gives a slim look, and accentuating the natural structure of the face. Every person has their own unique anatomy and goals, so each procedure is extremely customized. What’s the best part about cheek filler? It can be done in a matter of minutes. 

Patients only need to numb for a few minutes, and the actual procedure takes between five and ten minutes. Not a bad deal considering filler can last anywhere between 1 and 2 years, depending on how quickly filler is metabolized. This is a perfect, non-invasive procedure for anyone who wants a little more definition in the cheek, and a little less makeup for contouring. Read the full article here

Dr. Devgan is featured in Healthline to discuss the recent Allergan recall

Dr. Devgan is featured in an article written by Healthline in which she gives her thoughts on the Allergan textured implant recall. “Allergan voluntarily recalled its Biocell textured implants last week after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pushed for the company to take them off the market. The implants have been linked to a rare cancer known as breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). “

BIA-ALCL is a type of blood cancer that can be found in the scar tissue and fluid near the implant. “Dr. Lara Devgan, a plastic surgeon in New York City, says the textured material may be the root of the problem. ‘The hypothesis underlying this voluntary recall is that texturing of certain breast implants may result in an inflammatory reaction that is linked to a rare but present risk of ALCL,” Devgan told Healthline.”

Dr. Devgan points out that smooth breast implants are not associated with the BIA-ALCL risk and are considered to be safe and effective devices. “Generally speaking, the most common risks of breast augmentation are bleeding, infection, scarring, and capsular contracture.” Nevertheless, women should become familiar with the symptoms of BIA-ALCL and continue regular health checkups according to their physician’s recommendations.

For Dr. Devgan, this voluntary Allergan recall highlights the fact that the medical aesthetic and plastic surgery industry is far too lax. Patients need to be well informed about the risks and considerations of cosmetic procedures and Dr. Devgan would love to see the industry become better regulated.
