With over 200,000 combined followers on Instagram, Dr. Devgan is a prime example of a professional who has grown her business through incorporating social media. Dr. Devgan’s Instagram account launched as a suggestion from a friend. It “started off with 100 friends from school as her followers and gradually built it into what it is today.” With over 5 million impressions a week, Dr. Devgan’s Instagram page is very beneficial. Other social media platforms she uses include: Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, although Instagram is her favorite since her profession is very visual. Dr. Devgan finds that posting photos and videos, stories, and going “live” on Instagram are all useful tools to keeping her followers engaged and excited. One key takeaway is to be as authentic as possible.
Some tips that Dr. Devgan has for people who want to grow their accounts is to: use watermarks on images and videos for protection, do not use social media to give or receive advice, and be transparent with influencers. While using social media is very advantageous, it is also a large financial and time commitment. There is a lot of behind the scenes that goes into each post so it is important to keep in mind how to manage your account. Overall, the use of social media for one’s professional practice comes with many benefits. Social media helps attract a wide range and wide diversity of clients and is one of the many reasons why Dr. Devgan has patients in 6 of the 7 continents!
Social media has allowed Dr. Devgan to be more global than ever and is something that anyone can use to grow as well. Her advice for viewers is to “just start and listen to feedback.” It can be difficult to just start posting content, however, you have to start somewhere.

Harper’s Bazaar features Dr. Devgan in article highlighting Cheek Fillers
Dr. Devgan is featured in Harper’s Bazaar as a medical expert in explaining everything that everyone needs to know about injections for attaining sculpted cheekbones. The first and most important piece of knowledge is going to a board-certified plastic surgeon, like Dr. Devgan. These doctors are described as having an “artistic eye and the skill of Michelangelo,” therefore you will be in good hands.
Although a cheekbone augmentation is not as popular as lip injections or tummy tucks, Dr. Devgan describes it as a just-as-important procedure since “cheekbones are thought to represent 70% of facial beauty” because “they give a really pleasing architecture to the face.” For anyone who is not familiar with cheekbone injections, they are crucial in order to create better facial symmetry and to ensure an elevated mid face. Whenever Dr. Devgan performs this procedure on one of her patients, she takes careful measurements of the face to determine how much filler to use, numbs the patient for about five minutes and then “the injection itself takes five to ten minutes.” It is quite a spectacular procedure given the prep time and the quick results.
Dr. Devgan highly recommends this treatment to anyone who is looking to lift and define the cheeks with minimal downtime. She also notes how the cheekbone augmentation is the perfect procedure for anyone who desires a more natural yet defined look. Instead of piling on the make up every morning, a cheekbone augmentation will give you that same beautiful look.

"Petit" Proust Questionnaire of the Week: Baillie Riddell
This week’s “petit” Proust Questionnaire is from Baillie Riddell, a well-known model in the industry.
Dr. Devgan is featured in Family Circle to clarify readers on common injectable misconceptions
Dr. Devgan is featured in Family Circle magazine as an expert in the medical field and shares her knowledge on injectables. Today we see more and more people wanting to age gracefully, however they are not educated on the topic. Family Circle consults Dr. Devgan to help clarify this topic and answers questions along the lines of what injectables do, whether or not they are painful, and what kind of results to expect.
For anyone who is wondering, Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau are all examples of neuromodulators and are all made from purified, diluted botulinum toxin type A. These injectable medications work to diminish signs of aging, like wrinkles and fine lines. Dr. Devgan uses them “to treat lines that form due to repeated muscle movement” such as “horizontal lines on the forehead, crow’s feet, and the vertical frown lines between the eyebrows.” For those who have never had any injectables done before, let it be known that the treatment itself only takes about 10 minutes and is “no more painful than having your eyebrows tweezed,” explains Dr. Devgan.
A common misconception about neurotoxins is that your muscles completely paralyze you and will result in no expression. Dr. Devgan clarifies this misunderstanding by explaining how “the best and most beautiful results are somewhere in between, where you have natural movement without visible furrows.” If you are new to injectables, the best option is to seek a consultation, that way one can get any and all questions answered and determine which areas botox would be most beneficial. Everyone has his or her own unique anatomy and something like injectables requires expertise in order to achieve optimal results. If you are interested in a consultation, the best way is to call 212-452-2400 or email office@laradevganmd.com. If you are interested in reading more about this story, read it here.

The curriculum for this course focused on technique, complications, and live injection demonstrations of Dr. Devgan’s signature approaches to neurotoxins, deoxycholic acid, lip augmentation, cheekbone augmentation, jawline augmentation, chin augmentation, tear trough augmentation & nonsurgical rhinoplasty. Dr. Devgan believes “minimally invasive techniques are most definitely the future.” When paired with an exceptional understanding of anatomy, minimally invasive techniques, like botox or a nonsurgical rhinoplasty, can create subtle changes that will make a patient more than thrilled when he or she sees the result.
Dr. Devgan also invited Dr. Kay Durairaj, Dr. David Funt, and Dr. Christopher Surek to enlighten attendees on clinical pearls. Between Dr. Devgan and her colleagues, topics of discussion focused on facial anatomy for the injector, emergencies, complications, and management of undesirable outcomes, and the metric basis of facial beauty.
