Plastic Surgery in the Quarantine Era

New Zealand based news and media organization, Independent Online (IOL), recently featured insights from Dr. Lara Devgan in one of its articles. Why the Covid-19 pandemic caused a boom in plastic surgery by Mark Ellwood discusses the impact of Covid-19 on the plastic surgery industry. In an age of Zoom and FaceTimes, individuals have begun to see themselves in a different light. "There's something inherently unflattering about a 30-degree, angled-upward, forward-facing camera on a laptop," Devgan explains. 

Quite literally, everyone has been forced to look in the mirror and address their physical dissatisfactions. This new time of looking at ourselves under a microscope has single-handedly made plastic surgery boom. Dr. Devgan recalls, "I had one patient, who was previously just happy with Botox and fillers, proceed with a face and neck lift as a result of being on endless streams of Zoom calls. She saw jowls and neck folds she'd never appreciated before quarantine."

As people have been stuck inside their homes for months at a time, they have stopped working out and have started saving their money. This is where the doctors come in. With funds to spend and work to be done, cosmetic professionals have seen a surge in bookings for appointments. Dr. Devgan herself, “has increased her surgical dates by a third and is now booking procedures for the holiday season.”

Dr. Devgan discusses the latest lip enhancement product

In trying times, people look for ways to take control and create small moments of happiness. During the Great Depression, women used lipstick to lift their spirits, resulting in it becoming one of the most purchased items of the time. This sharp sales increase was an international phenomenon, resulting in the term “lipstick effect”. During today’s global pandemic, women are turning to lip filler to achieve this same effect. 

Phebe Wahl of the Philadelphia Style magazine discusses the latest trend with Dr. Devgan. “With more time at home and more awkward Zoom angles, there has been heightened interest in all aesthetic procedures.” says Dr. Devgan. In our COVID-19 world, working from home and wearing masks are beneficial, allowing patients to easily “cover any transient bruising or swelling”. This has become an ideal time for doing aesthetic enhancements, as well as recovering from them. 

New product, Restylane Kysse, has been one of the most popular fillers to effectively transform lips. Restylane Kysse Lip Filler is a new and improved filler for functional and natural looking lips. In the article, Dr. Lara Devgan explains, “Restylane Kysse is similar to existing products, but offers a new paint in a plastic surgeon’s palette. One thing that differentiates Restylane Kysse is that it uses a unique XpresHAn cross-linking technology (not found in other lip fillers), allowing us to achieve natural structure and flexibility.” This innovation of filler has been “technology is designed for better tissue integration, resulting in more natural expression,” mentions Devgan. Through the use of Restylane Kysse, less products can be used for just about the same results. 

Dr. Devgan shares her opinions on popular anti-aging ingredients

Dr. Lara Devgan has been featured in Who What Wear, as an expert advisor on all things beauty. In the article, beauty editor Erin Jahns, dives into a search for the best ingredients for maturing skin. Dr. Devgan, along with four other skincare professionals, give readers an inside scoop on what really works. 

Dr. Devgan touches on key ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C. These specific ingredients aid in keeping your skin hydrated and youthful. In the article, Jahns emphasizes how important it is to be careful when choosing your products. Many products on the market make claims that are far greater than the actual results. In the article, Dr. Devgan is referenced as citing stretch mark creams as “one of the most likely offenders”. The doctor also discusses her hesitancy regarding face oils, stating that oil molecules are not small enough to penetrate the skin and hydrate “from within.”

When it comes to Dr. Lara Devgan’s Scientific Beauty products, there is no false advertisement. Each product on the Scientific Beauty line is medical grade and clinically proven. Her Hyaluronic Serum and Vitamin C+B+E Serum work together seamlessly, resulting in anti-aging benefits. Dr. Devagn herself said, “Used regularly in your skincare routine, it results in a dewy, hydrated, flawless-looking complexion reminiscent of that coveted 'glass skin' look."
