Understanding Liposuction
If you’re close to your ideal weight but still struggle with localized pockets of fat—such as love handles, a belly bulge, or thigh fullness—liposuction may be a good option. Ideal candidates have good skin elasticity and are in overall good health.
Dr. Iyengar offers precise liposuction techniques that reshape target areas and deliver smoother, more sculpted results. It’s also frequently used to enhance results in combination with other body procedures like a tummy tuck or body lift.
What are the details of this procedure?
Liposuction involves making small, discreet incisions through which a thin tube (cannula) is inserted to break up and suction out excess fat. Dr. Iyengar uses precise techniques to contour the body carefully and achieve smooth, natural-looking results.
He offers several types of liposuction, including traditional suction-assisted liposuction and tumescent liposuction, which uses fluid injection to reduce bleeding and improve recovery.
Why choose Dr. Iyengar for this procedure?
Dr. Iyengar brings an artistic approach and surgical precision to every liposuction procedure. With an emphasis on safety, symmetry, and long-term results, he helps patients achieve a more refined look without compromising natural proportions.
What does recovery look like?
Most patients can return to light activity within a few days and resume normal routines in 1–2 weeks. Swelling and bruising are normal and typically subside over the course of several weeks. A compression garment is often worn during recovery to support healing and improve results.
Final results become more visible as the swelling goes down and can be maintained long-term with a healthy lifestyle.

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.
