Meet Dr. Rajiv Iyengar
Dr. Iyengar was raised in Puyallup, Washington and spent his formative years in the South Puget Sound region. He attended Bellarmine Preparatory School, graduating as Valedictorian and entered the highly selective eight-year combined BS/MD program at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
As a medical student, he distinguished himself by receiving awards and national recognition for his basic science and clinical research work. Dr. Iyengar worked closely with lifelong friends and mentors at Brown who inspired him to pursue a career in plastic and reconstructive surgery. He then completed the prestigious and rigorous six year integrated plastic surgery residency at Yale University.
Following graduation, Dr. Iyengar pursued additional advanced training as a fellow in hand, upper extremity and microvascular reconstruction at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. In this clinically busy year, he managed complex trauma, nerve/brachial plexus pathology, pediatric congenital hand anomalies and a high volume of common upper extremity concerns including peripheral compression neuropathies such as carpal tunnel and age-related osteoarthritis.
He has published numerous articles in peer reviewed publications in the realms of hand and upper extremity surgery, pediatric craniofacial surgery and aesthetic surgery of the face, breast and body with well known leaders in the field. Dr. Iyengar is passionate about helping restore and enhance form and function to his patients. He is looking forward to bringing his skillset back home to serve his community.
When not at work, Dr. Iyengar enjoys time with family and dog as well as traveling, trying new cuisines and staying active with tennis, hiking or anything else outdoors!

Dr Iyengar did a repair on an old eyelid surgery. Him and his staff were a pleasure to work with and I could not be happier with the results!

Dr. Raj Iyengar is awesome!!! I had 3 areas of botox today (glabella, crow's feet, and forehead). I had absolutely no pain and zero bruising. He was very informative throughout the procedure, and very kind. A great experience

I am 6 days post brow lift, blephraplasty, nanofat transfer, and neck lipo with Renuvion, and I already see a significant difference. I am SO excited already, and I’m still healing. Dr Iyengar has an incredible bed side manner, remembers little details about his patients, and has an impeccable résumé. I made the right choice trusting him with my face!

I’m glad to have this doctor and his staff on my side. When I heard the words skin cancer I went through a WIDE verity of feelings. I got worse case scenario and it scared me. After some reassurance I felt much better. I’m amazed at the complexity of the surgery and how well everything went. Just 6 weeks after surgery I’m feeling much better about the future look that everyone will see when they see my smiling face. Thanks Dr. Iyengar. I’ll share photos with anyone interested.

I’m incredibly grateful that I was referred to Dr. Iyengar for my breast reconstruction surgery. From the very first consultation, he has been an absolute blessing throughout the entire process. His kindness, super friendliness (a rare trait), helpfulness, caring nature, and outstanding service are truly remarkable. Additionally, his extensive knowledge and confident responses to my questions, along with his ability to treat me with personable care, make him an exceptional surgeon.
