Facelift by Dr. Lara Devgan

An Artful Approach to Timeless Beauty

A facelift is more than a surgical procedure—it is an intricate interplay of artistry, anatomy, and surgical precision. Under the expert hands of Dr. Lara Devgan, a facelift is designed not merely to tighten, but to harmonize and restore, preserving the natural essence of your face while refining the visible signs of aging. With an unparalleled background in training from Yale, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, the Harvard Surgical Leadership Program, and the Columbia/Cornell Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship, Dr. Devgan brings a level of mastery to facial aesthetics that few can rival.

Her approach is precise, nuanced, and profoundly customized, balancing structural support with soft tissue refinement to create natural, enduring results. With experience performing tens of thousands of surgical procedures and hundreds of thousands of nonsurgical treatments, she understands facial aging at every level—from the underlying muscular foundation to the most delicate nuances of skin texture.

Dr. Devgan’s Signature Facelift Philosophy

Dr. Devgan believes that beauty is never about erasure, but about elevation. Her technique focuses on:

Anatomical Integrity – Sculpting the deep plane of the face for a refined, youthful contour while avoiding an over-tightened appearance.

Facial Identity Preservation – Enhancing natural beauty while ensuring that you look like yourself, only refreshed and rejuvenated.

Comprehensive Rejuvenation – Addressing midface descent, jawline definition, and neck laxity in harmony for a balanced aesthetic.

Seamless, Scar-Conscious Techniques – Strategically placed incisions along natural creases for imperceptible healing.

The Procedure

Dr. Devgan’s facelift technique is tailored to the unique architecture of each patient’s face, meticulously lifting and repositioning deep facial tissues to restore youthful contours. The procedure typically involves:

Deep plane/ SMAS lifting to rejuvenate the cheeks, jawline, and neck with a natural, long-lasting effect

Refinement of facial ligaments to support soft tissue for structural longevity

Precision fat grafting to restore volume loss and maintain skin integrity

Meticulous suturing to ensure a discreet, refined result

For those seeking comprehensive facial enhancement, a facelift is often complemented by eyelid surgery, brow lifting, laser resurfacing, or nonsurgical injectables to refine and enhance the final result.

Recovery & Results

While initial swelling subsides within the first two weeks, results continue to refine over 3 to 6 months, with full results after a year, revealing a smoother, lifted, and exquisitely natural appearance. Dr. Devgan’s refined techniques ensure minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily lives with a discreet and seamless transformation. The outcome? A refreshed, youthful version of yourself—never overdone, only enhanced.
