Face Forward AVENUE speaks to top Upper East Side plastic surgeon and mother of four Dr. Lara Devgan You have been designated a New York Times Magazine Super Doctor and #1 Female Cosmetic Surgeon in New York. What does beauty mean to you? Beauty is about being the best version of yourself. My philosophy is natural results without obvious signs of surgery. Healthy skin, an expressive face, and balanced features. You are known for your signature mini facelifts and eyelifts. Why are those special? I focus on doing more with less. I use smaller incisions and hidden scars for the face and eyes. Everything is natural looking—nothing tight, pulled, or plastic. What about younger people who just want a little pick-me-up? Save the money you’re spending at the cosmetic counter at Bergdorf and buy medical-grade products. [Last year, Devgan launched a medical-grade skin care line, Dr. Devgan Scientific Beauty.] What advice would you give to someone who is thinking about plastic surgery? You only have one face, so trust it to an expert. Plastic surgery is an investment, but you are going to bear your surgeon’s work for the rest of your life. It’s all about quality and credentials. ✦
