Dr. Lara Devgan Medical Thanks @shape for interviewing

Thanks @shape for interviewing me on the topics of celebrity & plastic surgery. Read an article excerpt below: "There's a big difference between being inspired by a celeb and wanting to look exactly like her. "It is incredibly common for patients to use celebrity photos as inspiration for cosmetic procedures—everything from Bella Hadid's nose to Emily Ratajkowski's breasts to Taylor Hill's cheekbones," says Lara Devgan, M.D., M.P.H., a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon in NYC. "I've seen all of those requests in my practice in the past week alone." In fact, when it comes to figuring out what a patient really wants as their end result, having a well-known point of reference is really helpful for surgeons. "Inspiration from celebrities or models can actually be a very useful way to communicate with patients," says Dr. Devgan. "It's hard to quantify what someone means by 'full and natural breasts' with words alone, so if someone shows me a picture of Kate Hudson versus Anne Hathaway, those two images have two very different meanings." Makes sense.

But there's a clear line."If a patient brought in a photo of Brad Pitt and asked to be transformed, I would suggest they seek psychiatric help and would refuse to operate on them," says Debra Johnson, M.D., president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The refusal to operate on people who want to basically convert themselves into a celeb role model seems to be standard. "My goal is to help patients become a better version of themselves, not someone else entirely," Dr. Devgan agrees. "Every surgeon has his or her own ethical barometers, but I consider it ethically problematic to try to treat a psychological condition with a surgical procedure, and I would not operate on a person whose goal was to morph into someone else." Not only does it take a lot of effort for these celebs to look camera-ready in the first place, which can set you up for a big disappointment, trying to be exactly like someone else is pretty much never a good idea, whether or not it involves surgery." .

It's #FaceliftFriday πŸ‘ΈπŸΌπŸ‘ΈπŸΌπŸ‘ΈπŸΌ This beautiful patient wanted to improve her neck, jawline, and profile, without looking fake or operated on. I performed my signature natural-looking facelift and necklift to give her this beautiful result. πŸ‘ΈπŸΌπŸ‘ΈπŸΌπŸ‘ΈπŸΌ Note that she looks like a slimmer, younger, more attractive version of herself-- not tightly pulled, oddly shiny, or strangely puffy 😱😱😱. Facelift and necklift operations require anatomic mastery and extreme attention to detail. Find a surgeon who shares your vision and meets your exacting standards for your face-- you will wear his or her work forever! πŸ‘ΈπŸΌπŸ‘ΈπŸΌπŸ‘ΈπŸΌ .

Non-surgical chin augmentation πŸ‘ΈπŸΌπŸ‘ΈπŸΌπŸ‘ΈπŸΌ This lovely patient wanted an improvement in her profile and chin projection without the downtime of surgery. This was her beautiful result immediately after I performed injectable chin augmentation. πŸ‘ΈπŸΌπŸ‘ΈπŸΌπŸ‘ΈπŸΌ This procedure takes a few minutes, lasts 1-2 years, and balances facial proportions very nicely. If you like your injectable chin augmentation, consider a chin implant for a more robust and long-lasting result. πŸ‘ΈπŸΌπŸ‘ΈπŸΌπŸ‘ΈπŸΌ .
