Understanding Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances the size and shape of the breasts using implants or fat transfer. It’s one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for women looking to improve symmetry, restore volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss, or achieve a more proportionate figure.
Dr. Iyengar takes a personalized, precision-focused approach — helping patients achieve natural, beautiful results that reflect their goals and lifestyle. Whether subtle or more noticeable, breast augmentation is tailored to match each patient’s body and aesthetic goals.
When should I consider a breast augmentation?
You may be a good candidate for breast augmentation if you’re unhappy with the size or fullness of your breasts, have noticeable asymmetry, or want to restore volume that’s diminished over time. Many patients also choose augmentation as part of a mommy makeover or after weight loss.
What are the details of this procedure?
Dr. Iyengar customizes each augmentation based on your preferences, body type, and goals. Options include:
- Saline or silicone implants in a variety of sizes and profiles
- Fat transfer augmentation for a more natural look using your body’s own fat
The procedure involves placing the implants through a small, discreet incision—often in the breast crease or around the areola—with placement either above or below the chest muscle, depending on your anatomy.
Why choose Dr. Iyengar for this procedure?
Dr. Iyengar offers a personalized and precision-driven approach to breast augmentation. With his background in both cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery, he ensures that every procedure blends artistry with safety—helping you achieve natural-looking, confident results.
What does recovery look like?
Most patients return to light activity within a few days and regular routines within a week or two. Some swelling and soreness are expected early on but typically subside over time.
Final results settle gradually as the implants adjust to your body. With proper care, results can last for many years and provide a long-term boost in confidence and body image.

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.

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.
