r. Iyengar is the gold standard for eyes. He does nothing but eyes! Which goes to how good he is. All of my referral requests pointed back to him, from my dermatologist to doctors who travel the world doing charity work: they all say he is the best. Don’t go to a general plastic surgeon — many get botched eye surgeries, and come to Dr. Iyengar to fix it. The photos of them in the office are very disturbing. Don’t risk it! Every generalist will tell you “eyelids are easy” but just look at how many are botched. Come to a specialist who does eyelid surgery, only, multiple times each week

Dr. Iyengar does fantastic work! I had this surgery done about 22yrs ago in Seattle and knew that someday I'd probably have to have it done again. Well, at 63, it was time. I was worried that maybe I didn't have enough loose skin to do it a second time, but the doctor said I did (yay!!). I wanted a natural, more awake look and not fake "wide-eyes" that I never had. I now can go without eye makeup, if needed, and not feel like I look haggard. Dr. Iyengar is not overly chatty and is very professional, nice, but right to business, if you are looking for lots of pampering and hand holding, this is not a spa - you are hiring him for his excellent surgery skills - and he is excellent at that!!!! Having this done before, I feel his prices are accurate, reflect today's prices and his worth. If you want to go cut-rate and save a little and risk your looks...go ahead, as in this field you often get what you pay for. I was a public risk manager and know to look at safety and quality first vs a "deal." But, again, I think he's fairly priced - surgery is never cheap and anything by the eyes you need precision and Dr. Iyengar is that!! I also was worried that taking pills for anxiety and some shots around the eyes would not be enough for my anxiety/claustrophobia...but, I did fine, so if you have those concerns, you should be fine. I also made sure not to eat that morning so the pills could take full effect. I followed all instructions afterwards and has the expected swelling/light bruising and was fine by two weeks after when I could wear make-up again - just be sure to follow ALL pre and post surgery instructions to the letter!!! I have nothing to gain by this review - my surgery was a one-time thing, I have no other services at his office, no discounts, nothing in return for this - I simply believe in giving credit where credit is due and to try to help others navigate what can be a scary decision when you are contemplating having someone cut open your eyes. You won't go wrong with Dr. Iyengar!!

I had an upper Blepharoplasty done 7 weeks ago and am very happy with the results! I was born with hooded and uneven eyelids. The unevenness especially has bothered me my whole life. At 40, I’ve been able to fix it thanks to Dr. Iyengar. I look at my lids in the mirror every day now and smile. He was honest with the type of results I could expect for my specific eyelids and I feel that the end result looks natural. See pics (and yes I had my brows done as well between the two pics). His office manager is awesome. They were on time for all of my appointments. The recovery time was as described. I had a good experience overall, less bruising than I expected, and I love having even eyelids now! UPDATE: I wanted to add an update, almost a year and a half later. I’ve been doing a lot of video communication recently and every time I see my eyelids on screen I am so pleased and thankful. My uneven eyelids had bothered me my whole life. I love my new eyelids! I’m so glad I got the procedure, and Dr. Iyengar did a great job. Last 2 photos are from over a year later.

Dr Iyengar performed lower blepharoplasty on me. I can finally say I’m very happy with the results. I wasn’t like the normal patient who heals from this surgery in a month. My swelling lasted for MONTHS. Dr Iyengar was always so wonderful and caring through my issues and was always available to see me. His office staff is so nice too. My swelling is finally down, I just needed time. I love the results! Dr Iyengar is an excellent surgeon. Thank you so much Dr Iyengar!!!!

Went for my first Botox consultation ever and I will say it was very quick and easy process. Tiffany was great and even helped work with my budget while still getting the desired results!

Dr Iyengar and his staff are phenomenal! I went to a general cosmetic surgeon who botched my eyes leaving my left eye much larger and pulled down. He also left the fat pads so I still had bags under my eyes. I'm so very pleased with my results from Dr Iyengar! No more bags and my left eye is so improved! I feel and look so much better. I was made to feel comfortable from the consult to post surgery. His office staff is great and the surgical team is excellent! If you're thinking about having your eyes done and or need them fixed from a botched job then run don't walk to San Diego Eyelid Specialists!

I am SO happy with my eyes! I went from feeling like I looked tired and angry all the time...to vibrant and awake! The whole experience was worth it! The surgery was fast and painless, recovery was smooth, and the results are terrific! I have three words for those who hate their eyes like I did...MAKE AN APPOINTMENT! Thank you Dr. Iyengar!

I HIGHLY recommend Dr Srinivas Iyengar for any eyelid procedure you want or need to have done. I had bags and circles under my eyes for many, many years that always bothered me. Initially I went to a dermatologist to see if a laser procedure would help but he said it was a surgical issue and referred me to Dr Iyengar. Upper eyelid and scarless lower eyelid procedures were recommended, and I went ahead with both. The results are incredible!! No more bags or circles under my eyes and the extra skin on my upper eyelids is gone. I am thrilled with the results!! The entire experience was great from beginning to end including the office visits - his staff is awesome too! - to the procedures - done right there at the surgery center in the same building - to the aftercare. Everything has been smooth, organized and very professional. No pain from beginning to end either! I shouldn't have waited until my 60's to have it done but I am glad I finally did!!

I would give Dr. Iyengar 10 stars if I could!! I just recently had a skin lesion removed from my lower eye lid. The procedure was cosmetic and something I wanted to do for years, but was terrified to go through with. I had made it out to be much scary than it actually was. I came into the office incredibly nervous and the staff was so kind and patient with me. Dr. Iyengar did the most incredible job making sure I stayed comfortable through the very quick procedure and was so precise with his work. He kept every single lash in place and the area has heeled beautifully and way quicker than I could have imagined! I am SO HAPPY I went to him for this and would recommend him highly to anyone looking for an eyelid specialist! He definitely knows what he’s doing!!!

I waited a very long time to finally feel comfortable to get my eyelids done. If I only knew the procedure was that easy and painless I would have done much sooner. I was so happy with San Diego Eye lid Specialists and the out come was amazing. Thank you Dr Iyengar and staff
