Signature Procedure | Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty


Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty: A Quick and Effective Alternative to Surgery

Nonsurgical rhinoplasty, also known as a liquid nose job, is an increasingly popular cosmetic procedure that allows people to reshape their noses without undergoing surgery. This minimally invasive treatment uses dermal fillers to refine the nose’s shape, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance in just minutes.

How Does Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty Work?

Instead of making incisions or breaking bones, nonsurgical rhinoplasty relies on injectable fillers, typically made from hyaluronic acid. A skilled practitioner strategically injects these fillers into specific areas of the nose to smooth out bumps, lift the nasal tip, or correct asymmetry. The procedure is quick—usually taking less than 30 minutes—and requires minimal downtime.

Benefits of Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty

  • Immediate results – Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, which requires weeks or even months of recovery, the effects of a liquid nose job are visible almost instantly.

  • No surgery or anesthesia – Patients avoid the risks and long recovery times associated with surgical procedures.

  • Minimal discomfort and downtime – Most people can return to their normal activities the same day.

  • Reversible and adjustable – Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if the results are unsatisfactory or if changes are desired over time.

  • More affordable than surgery – While not necessarily cheap, nonsurgical rhinoplasty typically costs significantly less than traditional nose surgery.

Limitations and Considerations

While nonsurgical rhinoplasty offers many advantages, it does have limitations. The procedure cannot reduce the size of the nose, correct breathing issues, or provide permanent results. Fillers gradually dissolve over time, usually lasting between 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used. Additionally, because the procedure involves injections, there is a small risk of bruising, swelling, or, in rare cases, complications such as vascular occlusion.

Is Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty Right for You?

This procedure is ideal for individuals looking to refine their nose shape without committing to permanent surgical changes. It is particularly effective for those who want to smooth out dorsal humps, lift the nasal tip, or correct minor asymmetries. However, if you require significant structural changes or have functional concerns like breathing difficulties, a surgical rhinoplasty may be the better option.

Final Thoughts

Nonsurgical rhinoplasty provides a fast, effective, and less invasive alternative to traditional nose surgery. If you’re considering reshaping your nose but aren’t ready for surgery, consulting with a qualified aesthetic professional can help you determine if this option is right for you.

Signature Procedure | Cheekbone & Jawline Augmentation

Dr. Lara Devgan demonstrates her signature cheekbone & jawline augmentation procedure in this TikTok.


Cheekbone and Jawline Augmentation (Non-Surgical) by Dr. Lara Devgan

In recent years, facial contouring has become one of the most sought-after aesthetic treatments, and for good reason. Balanced cheekbones and a defined jawline are central to a harmonious facial structure. At Dr. Lara Devgan Scientific Beauty, we offer non-surgical cheekbone and jawline augmentation to subtly enhance your natural features without the downtime of traditional surgery.

What Is Non-Surgical Cheekbone and Jawline Augmentation?

This procedure uses advanced injectable fillers to add structure, balance, and definition to the midface and lower face. The goal is not to dramatically change your appearance but to create a refined, lifted look that enhances your unique bone structure.

Why Cheekbones and Jawlines Matter

Cheekbones provide vertical lift and create light and shadow that define the midface. A strong jawline frames the face and helps anchor the features above. By enhancing these areas together, the result is a more sculpted, proportional, and youthful look.

How the Procedure Works

Dr. Devgan uses hyaluronic acid–based fillers that integrate naturally into the tissue. Strategic microinjections are placed along the cheekbones, jawline, and, if needed, the chin. The entire procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes, with minimal discomfort and no surgical incisions. Results are immediate and can last 12–18 months, depending on the type of filler used and your unique anatomy.

What Makes Dr. Devgan’s Approach Unique

Known for her “millimeter-level” precision, Dr. Devgan’s approach focuses on subtle, natural-looking results. Every treatment plan is tailored to your individual features. Rather than chasing trends, she works to enhance balance and proportion, often using the smallest possible adjustments to create the greatest visual impact.

Who Is a Candidate?

Non-surgical cheekbone and jawline augmentation is ideal for individuals who want:

  • More definition in the midface or jawline

  • A subtle lift without surgery

  • To restore volume lost with age

  • Improved facial harmony and balance

Because this treatment is non-invasive, it is also an excellent option for those with busy schedules or those looking for a way to “test drive” the look of surgical implants.

What to Expect After the Procedure

Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild swelling or bruising that typically resolves within a few days. Most patients return to work or social activities the same day.

Signature Procedure | Nefertiti Neck Lift

Dr. Lara Devgan demonstrates her signature Nefertiti Neck Lift procedure in this TikTok.


What Is the Nefertiti Neck Lift?
The Nefertiti Neck Lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to redefine the jawline and smooth the neck using Botox injections. Named after the ancient Egyptian queen known for her elegant neckline, this treatment targets the platysma muscles, which can contribute to sagging skin and prominent neckbands as we age.

How Does It Work?
Botox is injected into specific points along the lower jaw and neck to relax the platysma muscle. This relaxation reduces the downward pull on the jawline, allowing the muscles in the upper face to lift naturally. As a result, the jawline appears more sculpted, and the neck looks firmer and smoother. The treatment is especially popular among those who want a more defined lower face without undergoing invasive surgery.

Benefits and Results
One of the biggest advantages of the Nefertiti Neck Lift is that it requires no downtime. The procedure typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes, with results appearing within a few days and lasting for three to six months. Side effects are usually minimal, including mild bruising or swelling at the injection sites. However, the effectiveness of the treatment varies depending on factors like age, skin condition, and the severity of sagging.

Is It Right for You?
While this procedure can create a noticeable improvement, it is not a replacement for a surgical neck lift. Individuals with significant skin laxity may not achieve the desired results with Botox alone. Some patients combine the Nefertiti Neck Lift with other treatments, such as dermal fillers or skin tightening procedures, to enhance the outcome.

For those considering this treatment, it is essential to consult with an experienced injector to ensure proper technique and realistic expectations. A skilled provider will assess whether the Nefertiti Neck Lift is suitable for your needs and discuss alternative options if necessary.

Doctor's Notes | What Makes the Modern Facelift Modern?

Dr. Lara Devgan demonstrates her signature suture suspension procedure in this TikTok.


The Modern Facelift

A modern facelift is not about pulling, tightening, or creating an artificial look. Instead, it’s about restoring harmony and balance to the face in a way that feels authentic and undetectable. Dr. Lara Devgan’s approach focuses on moving features into focus or out of focus by just a millimeter at a time, delivering a refreshed appearance without changing the essence of who you are.

A Subtle, All-Encompassing Philosophy

Unlike traditional facelifts that might concentrate on a single vector of lifting, the modern facelift is all-encompassing. It looks at the entire face as one connected canvas—brow, eyes, cheeks, jawline, and neck all working together. By carefully adjusting these features, Dr. Devgan is able to create results that appear seamless and organic.

The Power of a Millimeter

A single millimeter can make a world of difference. Features like the eyes, lips, and jawline can be brought subtly into focus, while areas that may appear heavy or disproportionate can be softened by just the smallest adjustment. This micro-level change avoids the telltale signs of surgery and instead brings out the best version of the patient’s own anatomy.

Balancing Structure and Softness

A successful facelift isn’t only about repositioning tissue—it’s about restoring volume where it has been lost, refining contours, and maintaining the natural softness of the face. This balance between structure and subtlety creates a look that is youthful but never overdone.

An Undetectable Refresh

The goal of the modern facelift is simple: you should look rested, radiant, and confident, but no one should be able to tell you’ve had surgery. By working millimeter by millimeter, Dr. Devgan achieves results that celebrate individuality and age gracefully.

Signature Procedure | Suture Suspension

Dr. Lara Devgan demonstrates her signature suture suspension procedure in this TikTok.


What Is Suture Suspension? A Modern Approach to Facial Rejuvenation

As we age, one of the most noticeable changes in our appearance is the descent of the midface—the area between the lower eyelids and the corners of the mouth. Volume loss, skin laxity, and gravity work together to create sagging cheeks, deepening nasolabial folds, and a tired or aged expression. For those looking for a minimally invasive solution without undergoing a full facelift, midface suture suspension has emerged as an appealing option.

What Is Suture Suspension?

Midface suture suspension is a cosmetic procedure that uses specially placed sutures (stitches) to lift and support the midface tissues. Instead of cutting away skin or repositioning deep facial structures like in a traditional facelift, this technique suspends the soft tissues using sutures anchored to a stable structure such as the deep temporal fascia (a strong layer of connective tissue above the cheekbone).

How Does It Work?

The procedure typically involves small incisions made either in the scalp (behind the hairline) or inside the mouth. Through these openings, the surgeon threads permanent or long-lasting sutures beneath the skin to grasp and elevate the soft tissues of the cheek. These sutures are then anchored to provide support and a lifted appearance.

The goal is not just to pull the skin tight, but to reposition the deeper facial tissues to restore natural contours and fullness.

Who Is It For?

Midface suture suspension is best suited for individuals with mild to moderate midface sagging who want a more youthful appearance without the downtime or invasiveness of a traditional facelift. It's especially popular among patients in their 30s to 50s who are beginning to notice volume descent but still have relatively good skin elasticity.

It’s also commonly used in reconstructive contexts—for example, in patients who have experienced facial paralysis or trauma—as a way to restore symmetry and facial function.

Benefits of Suture Suspension

  • Minimally invasive – Smaller incisions and quicker recovery than traditional facelifts

  • Natural-looking results – Repositions existing tissue rather than stretching skin

  • Less downtime – Most patients return to normal activities within a week or two

  • Customizable – Can be combined with other procedures like fat grafting, eyelid surgery, or injectables

What Are the Limitations?

Like any procedure, midface suture suspension isn’t a miracle cure. Results can vary based on individual anatomy and skin quality. The lift is generally more subtle compared to a full facelift, and while some sutures are permanent, tissue aging continues. In some cases, additional procedures may be desired after a few years to maintain or enhance results.

Recovery and Aftercare

Post-procedure swelling and bruising are common but usually mild. Patients are often advised to avoid strenuous activity, sleep with their heads elevated, and follow specific care instructions to ensure optimal healing. Most can return to work and social activities within 7–14 days.

Final Thoughts

Midface suture suspension is a promising middle ground between injectables and full-on surgery. Whether you’re aiming for subtle rejuvenation or addressing early signs of aging, it offers a way to restore youthful contours with less downtime and risk. As with any cosmetic procedure, consult with a qualified facial plastic surgeon or specialist to determine if it’s the right approach for you.
