Testimonials

Dr Iyengar is the best of the best. I did a lot of research, and learned about Dr. Iyengar’s extraordinary background, superb skills, and excellence in patient outcomes. During the consultation appointment, the Doctor showed both his clinical expertise, and focus on patient care.

Dr Iyengar performed a lower blepharoplasty. He thoroughly explained the procedure, and what to expect post surgery. Dr Iyengar is such a gifted surgeon, that I experienced zero pain and discomfort after the procedure. The outcome is absolutely beautiful and very natural. My eyes look refreshed, not redone.

I also get my Botox done by Dr. Iyengar. He administers the injections with the most natural and refreshed results. I will not even consider going elsewhere.

The staff at San Diego Eyelids are all professional and very kind. I always appreciate their help in appointment scheduling, and following up on any questions I may have.

Three MD's referred me to Dr. Iyengar for a medical issue with my eyelid. They were right. He fixed the problem and my lid is healing nicely. I'm relieved and grateful.

Perfect results and good service.

I am so happy with the results of my lower eyelid blepharoplasty! I had bulging bags and they’re gone. Now I can leave the house without makeup if I want!!! That is huge for me! The procedure was painless, and the doctor and staff were so efficient and competent, and treated me very, very well. The recovery was easy, just as expected. I give Dr. Iyengar my highest recommendation for cosmetic eyelid surgery.

Wonderful experience. Great doctor and front office staff. I can see again! Thanks very much!

I didn’t want to show my face because I had such prominent circles under my eyes. Without incisions Dr Iyengar fixed my problem. I couldn’t be happier with the result.

Dr. Iyengar and his staff were most professional in every detail.
My upper eyelid reconstructions (blepharoplasty) were essentially painless and gave me excellent results. I can heartily recommend Dr. Iyengar.

I had such a positive experience with Dr. Iyengar that I felt compelled to share, as it can be so difficult to find incredible doctors who encompass both the skills and the bedside manner.
My mom had an upper blepharoplasty with him and her results were absolutely amazing - natural, refreshed, and exactly what she was hoping for. Based on her outcome, I scheduled a consultation for myself to see if I could address some under eye wrinkles through surgical intervention.
Even though I ended up not being a surgical candidate, Dr. Iyengar was incredibly kind, honest, and thorough. He took the time to explain why surgery wasn’t the best option for me and thoughtfully walked me through alternative approaches I could consider elsewhere. At no point did I feel rushed, dismissed, or pressured - in fact, it was the opposite. His transparency and willingness to put my best interest first really stood out.
What impressed me most was his bedside manner. He was warm, respectful, and genuinely cared about making sure I understood my options and made the choice that was best for me. It’s rare to find a physician who prioritizes honesty and patient-centered care, even when it doesn’t benefit them directly.
I would absolutely recommend Dr. Iyengar to anyone considering eyelid procedures!

I love my results!! All the staff were very friendly, supportive and professional throughout my entire experience. I highly recommend Dr. Iyengar of San Diego Eyelid Specialists!

Dr. Iyengar was able to see her very quickly and assured us that he was familiar with this and not to worry. Everything was explained in advance, and he and his entire staff were very professional and caring. Surgery went well, and the outcome was perfect.

I recommend Dr. Iyengar unconditionally. Great staff made everything work seamlessly.

As a fellow eye surgeon, I am particular about who I send my family to. Having researched many surgeons in California, I had my parents come down from Los Angeles to have eyelid surgery with Dr. Iyengar. We could not be more pleased with the experience and results. He strives for a natural appearance when doing cosmetic eyelid surgery. Something we greatly appreciate. We would highly recommend Dr. Iyengar!

As a medical doctor myself, I understand that not all doctors are alike. For years, I wanted to get my “heavy” upper eyelids done, as with age they only get worse. The main concern I had was not looking like I had my eyes done. I only wanted to have them look normal. It wasn’t until I saw a friend who looked different (better), but I didn’t know why. She told me that she had her upper eyelids done. I knew then that this was the doctor. I checked out Dr. Iyengar’s other work and his credentials. Everything I saw was top-tier. I had my eyes done in his Encinitas office in July 2020, and it went better than I thought. The doctor was great and reassuring, and his staff were all friendly and helpful. It was overall a very easy experience. After a few weeks, my eyes were looking near “normal,” just as I wanted. It’s almost 2 months now, and I couldn’t be happier. I have now had a few people ask me what’s different, and said, “why do you look younger”. I smiled (and told them). I am SO glad I did this, and most of all, I am happy that I chose Dr. Iyengar.

I work at a surgery center in Encinitas that Dr. Iyengar does surgery at. First off, every nurse I work with raves about his technique in the OR. He is not just a good eye surgeon, he is gifted. I’m talking blow-your-mind skills when it comes to eyelid surgery. I actually go to him for my BOTOX injections now. I have been a faithful fan of BOTOX for at least ten years, and when he does my BOTOX, it’s perfect. Never too much, just right! I am definitely planning on going to him in the next year for eyelid surgery/blepharoplasty. I referred a friend to him, and she couldn’t be happier. I’m not big on referring surgeons because it’s a very personal choice, but I do recommend him to everyone who has any eye issue, not just surgery.

Dr. Iyengar did my upper eyelid surgery one week ago. I was a little nervous to have the surgery since it was on my eyes, but after meeting with Dr. Iyengar and his staff, I was confident enough to schedule the surgery. I am beyond thrilled with the results already, and they are still a little swollen and bruised. Such a difference. The procedure was done very quickly and efficiently. Dr. Iyengar has a magic touch. I’m so happy I went with San Diego Eyelid Specialists. The office staff is great, too. I highly recommend them.

I saw Dr. Iyengar for ptosis correction, and I am so happy with the results! He’s an excellent surgeon, and just as importantly, he’s understanding and patient and really takes time to listen and answer questions. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Dr. 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 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 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!!!
