Allure Magazine chats with Dr. Devgan about the 7 biggest plastic surgery trends for 2019

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, “the number of minimally invasive cosmetic procedures has grown nearly 200 percent since 2000.” Dr. Devgan is a board-certified plastic surgeon and specializes in both surgical and minimally-invasive nonsurgical procedures to subtly optimize one’s own unique features. In this article, Dr. Devgan discusses the trends and procedures she believes are the most popular. 

We live in a selfie-obsessed culture where people request to look like a perfectly-filtered photo in real life. How does one achieve this look? Through maintaining one’s general face structure and by tweaking areas of the face to subtly enhance them. Dr. Devgan refers to this trend as the “rise of the ‘tweak-ment’.” According to Dr. Devgan, “people are super into the tiny little micro-optimizations that make them feel a little bit more confident but are not completely obvious.” Another trend Dr. Devgan discusses is cosmetic treatments amongst men. Dr. Devgan estimates that roughly 15% of her patients are male, however, this number increases annually. Men desire to have stronger, more masculine features in the lower third of the face (AKA the chin, neck, and jawline), so with injectable filler, Dr. Devgan is able to help men achieve this look. 

Another trend Dr. Devgan discusses is the use of filler in non-traditional locations, like the nose or earlobes. The nonsurgical rhinoplasty is one of Dr. Devgan’s most commonly performed injectable procedures and is when filler is injected into the nose to completely reshape it. A rhinoplasty is a surgery that requires quite the downtime, so this is the perfect alternative for someone who wishes to achieve the same result but at little to no downtime and at a lower price point.

Dr. Devgan’s shares the story of her most meaningful surgery with Realself

“Plastic surgery‒whether cosmetic or reconstructive‒has the power to be a life-changing experience, not just for a patient and their loved ones but often for the surgeon who performs the procedure as well.” Dr. Devgan, board-certified plastic surgeon and RealSelf chief medical editor, shares the story of her most meaningful surgery with readers. She describes her experience as “putting each little piece of bone back together” like “repairing a broken eggshell.”

Dr. Devgan has performed countless surgeries over her years, however, the most meaningful happens to be of a patient who came in with massive facial fractures after having been assaulted at a bar. This was during Dr. Devgan’s first year of clinical practice and was so meaningful because it was a full constructive surgery of the face. Dr. Devgan’s practice consists of mostly cosmetic surgical and non-surgical procedures, however this one was different because Dr. Devgan was selected to help this young man feel himself again. Dr. Devgan explains how she believes being a surgeon requires “a huge element of self-sacrifice.” This is because “you really have to put someone else’s well-being above your own.” Facial identity is arguably more important than facial attractiveness because “it is what gives you the feeling of being yourself”, and Dr. Devgan helped this man become himself, again.

All of Dr. Devgan’s procedures, surgical or non-surgical, cosmetic or reconstructive, share similarity in that they all possess Dr. Devgan’s skilled technique. Whether it is complete facial reconstruction, a breast augmentation, or a non-surgical rhinoplasty, Dr. Devgan’s technique and consideration remains the same. Dr. Devgan believes no case is too small and strives to ensure that each patient feels comfortable and happy when working with Dr. Devgan.

Dr. Devgan’s Gold Micro-infusion facial is featured on PopSugar as a must try treatment for “glass skin”

Dr. Devgan has been recently featured in POPSUGAR discussing one of her signature non-surgical treatments, the Gold Micro-infusion facial. For those who do not know, the Gold Micro-infusion facial is a minimally-invasive procedure that stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture by needling the skin with needles that deliver a customized cocktail of botox, hyaluronic acid filler, and PRP. Celebrities love this treatment as it has minimal downtime and delivers results fast. 

Senior Branded Content Editor at POPSUGAR, Aviel Kanter, came by the office to try the Gold Micro-infusion facial for herself to see what all of the excitement is about. The first question people ask is if the botox inside will freeze one’s face. The answer is no. The botox in this facial treatment will only reach the dermal layer of the skin, not the muscular, so instead of traditionally injecting botox to treat wrinkles, the botox in this facial will help reduce pores and give a “beautiful glass skin look.” The next component is the hyaluronic acid filler. This contributes by giving “the skin a juicy, hydrated, plump look.” Lastly, the PRP, taken from one’s own blood, is often referred to as “liquid gold” and is “rich in growth factors that ramp up stem cell production.” This helps to stimulate the creation and generation of new, youthful skin. The results of the Gold Micro-infusion facial will fully kick in about four to seven days after the appointment, and will last for a few months. 

Dr. Devgan recommends this treatment to anyone, but it is especially great for people who are not fans of wearing a ton of makeup and prefer to go bare-faced. It is a “great treatment if you’re wanting to improve the quality of your skin, the suppleness, hydration, dewiness, fine lines, pores, and pigment.” To book a consultation you can email Office@LaraDevganMD.com or call 212-452-2400.

With the rise in filters through apps like Instagram and Snapchat, there has been an increase in the desire for nonsurgical procedures in order to subtly enhance facial features. Dr. Devgan is highlighted as a medical expert in this article and touches on these newly popular requests.

One of the many popular non-surgical treatments Dr. Devgan offers at her office is the Gold Micro-infusion facial. This procedure stimulates collagen production and improves texture by needling the skin with tiny gold-plated needles that deliver a customized cocktail of botox, hyaluronic acid filler, PRP 600 microns deep into the surface of the skin.  Over the next 4 to 7 days following this procedure, patients will see that the result is smooth, glassy and optimized skin.

CNN Business includes Dr. Devgan in their latest article about the relationship between plastic surgery and social media apps

Over the past few years there has been a major increase in the ways to connect with family and friends via social media apps. Dr. Devgan educates readers of CNN Business about the correlation between these up and coming social media apps and cosmetic procedures. Dr. Devgan is a board-certified plastic surgeon and specializes in facial micro-optimization, a term she uses to help optimize each patient’s unique anatomy.

Today on Snapchat, users can use a variety of filters to alter their faces into animals, other people, different shapes and colors, and anything else imaginable. Some of these filters edit the faces with makeup and other facial features, completely altering the way one looks. While this could be detrimental to one’s self-esteem, Dr. Devgan explains how “it’s the opposite.” Rather than not wanting to look like someone else, people are “trying to be the most confident, best versions of themselves.” Through the use of minimally-invasive nonsurgical injectables, people can obtain certain physical characteristics in order to help boost confidence and feel the best possible version of themselves.  Some of Dr. Devgan’s most popular requests are “around the eye area, such as helping to remove dark circles or tweaking how eyebrows fall.”

The tear trough augmentation and the botox brow lift are both very common injectable treatments here at Dr. Devgan’s office. The tear trough augmentation consists of filler injected underneath the eyes to help smoothen and soften the skin, therefore decreasing the appearance of dark undereye circles. A botox brow lift is botox injected in a particular way to both treat fine lines and wrinkles, and elevate the height of one’s eyebrows. It is minimally-invasive injectable procedures like these that help boost one’s confidence and put an end to the stigma that is cosmetic procedures.

Allure includes Dr. Devgan as a medical expert to touch on the topic of brow pinching

Allure has recently featured Dr. Devgan to address one of the latest in cosmetic treatments. Brow pinching has been coined one of the latest in cosmetic treatments and consists of a 10-minute facial massage that targets key pressure points around the eye and brow area to help reduce puffiness. Although Dr. Devgan does not offer this treatment at her practice, she is a board-certified plastic surgeon and has the answer to dark under eye circles, puffiness, and fine lines. 

Usually done by a massage therapist, aesthetician, or holistic healer, brow pinching is a 10-minute facial massage that “targets key pressure points around the eye and brow area to reduce puffiness and give the skin around the eye area a lift.” While it sounds intriguing, Dr. Devgan explains how “from a medical standpoint, there are no long-term benefits of brow pinching.” Something like a botox brow lift or a tear trough augmentation would be more beneficial and long-lasting to treat the periorbital area. Dr. Devgan advises to “be cautious of excessive touching and forced movement around such sensitive areas” as it can “actually increase the likelihood of fine lines, broken capillaries, and hyperpigmentation.” 

If you are interested in learning more about alternatives to achieving the same result as one would after several sessions of brow pinching, feel free to email Office@LaraDevganMD.com or call 212-452-2400. Dr. Devgan is a board-certified plastic surgeon and specializes in facial micro-optimization and can help treat dark under eyes, puffiness, and fine lines around the eyes several different ways.
