My upper eyelids were drooping and I constantly needed to lift my brow to keep my eyes open. That made me feel really tired! I'm in my late 60's and was concerned that an eyelift would look weird, stretched and creepy compared to the natural aging of the rest of my face. Dr. Iyengar promised he would only remove what was necessary and he did a GREAT job! The rest of his staff was really nice, and they were always on time for my appointments, too.

I was referred to Dr. Srinivas Iyengar by an optometrist since my peripheral vision was being blocked by my sagging eyelids. To be sure of the need for surgery, Dr. Iyengar referred me to a testing facility in his complex. I failed the test miserably and had another appointment with Dr. Iyengar to discuss the results. I am so impressed with Dr. Iyengar’s professionalism and patience in the way he discussed the procedure and my options. My girlfriend and I asked many questions and Dr. Iyengar answered them thoroughly and carefully. At no time did we ever feel rushed. My procedure is called a blepharoplasty and was done to remove excess skin from the upper eyelids where the skin has lost some of its elasticity. I had the choice of having the surgery in a surgery center or in Dr. Iyengar’s office. I chose to have it done in his office. The procedure was super simple from my perspective. Dr. Iyengar numbed my eyebrow and eyelid area, much like my dentist numbs my gums. Dr. Iyengar, his wonderful assistant Christina and I chatted for the next 20 minutes as the procedure was done. He even removed some annoying skins tags that had developed with age. I then went home and used some cold packs off and on for 15 minutes at a time to prevent swelling. In the following days, no one noticed any bruising or swelling, although it was there for a couple of days. I have just finished my 30-day follow-up visit and everything is perfect. No scarring, no bruises and much improved vision. I was concerned about the qualifications of any doctor using a sharp scalpel near my eyes, but it is easy to trust Dr. Iyengar. I have also learned that Dr. Iyengar is in demand as a speaker sharing his knowledge with other ophthalmologists. I highly recommend Dr. Iyengar in every respect. My thanks also to his staff Christine and Stephanie – really terrific people.
