Dr. Lara Devgan demonstrates her signature finesse lip augmentation procedure in this TikTok.


Lip Augmentation: Enhancing Your Natural Beauty

Lip augmentation is a popular cosmetic treatment designed to enhance the shape, size, and symmetry of the lips. Whether you’re looking for a subtle boost or a fuller, more dramatic pout, lip augmentation offers customizable options to achieve your ideal look.

In this post, we’ll cover what lip augmentation is, how the procedure works, and what you can expect if you’re considering this treatment.

What Is Lip Augmentation?
Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure aimed at increasing the volume of the lips. This is most commonly done using hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, such as Juvederm, Restylane, or Belotero. These fillers not only add volume but also enhance hydration, smooth out fine lines, and improve overall lip definition.

Some people choose lip augmentation to restore volume lost due to aging, while others may simply want to enhance their natural lip shape. The results can range from subtle to dramatic, depending on your personal preferences and treatment goals.

Benefits of Lip Augmentation

  • Fuller, more voluminous lips

  • Improved lip symmetry and definition

  • Reduction of fine lines around the mouth

  • Immediate results with minimal downtime

  • Customizable to suit your desired look

The Procedure: What to Expect
Lip augmentation is a quick, minimally invasive procedure that usually takes 15 to 30 minutes. Here’s how it typically works:

  1. Consultation – Your provider will assess your lips, discuss your desired outcome, and create a personalized treatment plan.

  2. Preparation – Before the injections, your lips may be numbed with a topical anesthetic to reduce discomfort. Some fillers also contain lidocaine for added comfort.

  3. Injection – The dermal filler is carefully injected into targeted areas of the lips to add volume, shape, and definition. Your provider will ensure the results are balanced and natural-looking.

  4. Aftercare – You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising immediately after the procedure, but these effects typically resolve within a few days.

Results and Recovery
One of the best things about lip augmentation is that the results are visible right away. Your lips may appear slightly swollen at first, but the final results will become more apparent as the swelling subsides, usually within 24 to 48 hours.

The effects of hyaluronic acid fillers generally last between 6 and 12 months, depending on the individual, the product used, and factors like metabolism. Touch-up treatments can help maintain your results over time.

Are You a Good Candidate?
Lip augmentation can be a great option for anyone looking to enhance their lips, whether it’s to increase volume, improve symmetry, or define the lip borders. You may be a good candidate if you’re in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and are seeking a non-surgical solution for lip enhancement.

However, lip fillers may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, active infections around the mouth, or severe allergies. It’s important to discuss your medical history and any concerns with your provider during your consultation.

Risks and Considerations
While lip augmentation is generally safe when performed by a qualified professional, there are some potential side effects and risks to be aware of. These include bruising, swelling, asymmetry, lumps, and, in rare cases, vascular complications. Choosing a skilled and experienced injector is crucial for minimizing risks and achieving the best results.

Conclusion
Lip augmentation is a customizable, minimally invasive treatment that can enhance your natural beauty by adding volume, shape, and definition to your lips. With immediate results, minimal downtime, and long-lasting effects, it’s no wonder that lip fillers have become a favorite cosmetic procedure for people of all ages.

If you’re considering lip augmentation, schedule a consultation with a licensed provider to discuss your goals, explore your options, and create a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

Signature Procedure | Optimization of Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines

Dr. Lara Devgan demonstrates her signature optimization of the nasolabial folds and marionette lines in this TikTok.


Non-Surgical Optimization of Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines by Dr. Lara Devgan

Nasolabial folds and marionette lines are common facial features that deepen with age, often making the face appear tired or heavy. These creases, which run from the nose to the corners of the mouth and down toward the chin, result from natural volume loss, skin laxity, and repetitive facial movement over time.

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Lara Devgan offers non-surgical options to subtly soften these lines and restore a more refreshed, youthful appearance. Using hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, she carefully replaces lost volume in the midface, lifting and supporting the surrounding tissues. This approach reduces the depth of nasolabial folds and marionette lines without changing the natural character of the face.

Dr. Devgan’s technique is precise and conservative, aiming for elegant, undetectable results. Treatments typically take less than 30 minutes and involve minimal downtime, making them a popular choice for patients seeking a quick yet effective rejuvenation.

By addressing both volume loss and structural support, Dr. Devgan’s non-surgical optimization enhances facial harmony while maintaining a natural look. For those concerned with deepening folds or lines, this customized, filler-based treatment can restore smoothness and confidence—without surgery.

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.
