I can't say enough positive things about Dr. Devgan. She performed my breast augmentation in April of 2017. Several months before that she met me on a holiday for my assessment and for Botox. She is extremely knowledgeable and answered every one of my numerous questions ahead of surgery. We went back and forth via email for months ahead of the surgery discussing the look I wanted to achieve. She nailed it! I have natural teardrop shaped breasts in proportion to my body. I experienced little pain after the surgery and was out and walking around the upper east side two days after surgery. She is very kind and reassuring and doesnt try to persuade you to do procedures you do not need. The next time I am in New York I will be visiting her and her awesome office staff!

I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Devgan about 1.5 months ago. From the moment I met Dr. Devgan, I knew she was the perfect surgeon for me. She made me feel extremely comfortable and her rapport with me was outstanding. She is very knowledgeable but more importantly she wants the absolute best for her patients and customizes each procedure to the specific patient. I loved the patient coordinator, receptionist, anesthesiologist and all of the staff at her office!

I wanted to have a very natural and subtle breast augmentation, as I have a petite frame. My results are INCREDIBLE. The procedure was quick and the pain was minimal. I only took the prescription pain meds for 1 day and then took Tylenol the remainder of the time. The recovery was very manageable and I was out and about only 4-5 days after the surgery! My breasts look and feel amazing! I have gotten such positive feedback from friends and family, but at the same time the increase in size was subtle enough that you wouldn't have pointed it out unless you knew about the surgery. All my clothes still fit and look amazing. I don't need push up bras anymore, and most of the time I go bra-less and feel so confident. When I want the added lift, I wear a bra and the results are perfect. I couldn't be happier.

Thank you so much Dr. Devgan and the entire staff!

I could not be happier with the results of my breast lift and slight reduction. Dr. Devgan is such a talented doctor who takes the time to get to know her patients and their goals. I told Dr. Devgan the exact look I was going for, and I sent her pictures of celebrities whose breasts I admire. Dr. Devgan completely exceeded my expectations and gave me my dream breasts. I could not believe how perfrcf they looked when I first took off my bandages. In addition to being talented, Dr. Devgan was accessible and patient during my first week of recovery, and she answered all of my questions during our post-op appointment. On top of that, her office team is so helpful and supportive. Dr. Devgan is an amazing surgeon with an incredible bedside manner, so if you want to get work done look no further. I'm recommending her to all of my friends and family members!

I had my breast augmentation and rhinoplasty with Dr. Devgan about three months ago. I knew Dr. Devgan would be my surgeon from the minute I met her. Needless to say, Dr. Devgan is extremely knowledgeable and talented surgeon. She wants the best for her patients. Dr. Devgan`s team including the patient coordinator, receptionist, nurses, anesthesiologist, EVERYONE was very professional, accommodating and welcoming!

I wanted to have very conservative surgeries: a minor nose tip refinement and small size breast implants. After reviewing my inspiring pictures and discussing the plan we decided that 230 cc silicone round implants would be the best fit for my figure (I am tall and thin). The procedure for my nose called a rhinoplasty with tip refinement and alar base reduction. This involves two very small incisions on the sides of a nose with small piece of nostril removal. Dr. Devgan uses pictures and diagrams when describes the procedures. She explains thoroughly what to expect and recovery process.

I was in and out the OR within less than 3 hr. Later at home I napped, went to the bathroom, drank some juice and slept through the night. Dr. Devgan called me the same evening to check on me which tells me that she really cares for her patients.

The recovery was unbelievably easy. Follow given instructions! I did not have much pain but this can be different for you. I took only Tylenol and NO pain killers. I was able to resume my regular activities within 2 weeks.

Now I am 3 months post-op. There are NO scars seen on the sides of my nose. My nose looks amazing! There are about 2 cm scars under each breast. You don’t see them unless you lift the breast. The implants were higher right after the surgery but they dropped within 2 months. My breast has a tear drop shape as I really wanted. All my cloths fit and look amazing. NO more push up bras. Sometimes NO bra AT ALL! I am very satisfied and happy with these excellent results and smooth recovery. Thank you and your team, Dr. Devgan!

Dr. Devgan was wonderful to work with. She listened to my concerns. She was very thorough with explaining the procedure to the recovery and what is to be expected. I had received consultations from other doctors, but Dr. Devgan was by far the kindest and caring, as well as her entire staff. I highly recommend Dr. Devgan.

Cosmetic surgery can be daunting. I know I was nervous but Dr Devgan and her staff are thoughtful and professional, my natural looking results are proof of that. Dr Devgan's shows genuine care for her patients. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
