Claire S. Duggal, MD

I had a breast lift + implants done using Sientra Implants in Nov 2021. I am now 6 months post opp and feel great! They look perfect and feel great! I could not be happier and so happy my Dr. uses this brand. No regrets! I saw Dr Duggal for a breast lift + augmentation and everything from the initial consult to post opp care was AMAZING! She really listened to what I wanted and more importantly, what I did NOT want and I could not be happier with the results. She is a perfectionist and that is exactly what you want with these procedures! Her bedside manner, including all of her nurses and staff, were awesome. I would highly recommend! Best experience ever!

My experience with Dr. Duggal overall was great! Dr. Duggal was very attentive to my questions and answered honestly with prompt responses. She did a phenomenal job with my procedure and my final results so far have been outstanding! A fantastic physician with very friendly and helpful staff as well! I highly recommend Dr. Duggal! 

I had gone to Dr. Duggal for a consult for my mommy makeover last year. The consult was $150 that could be applied to any service. I ended up going with a different surgeon for my MM, but I went back to Dr. Duggal for lip augmentation. They were running a special (join their email list to get notified of these) and with the special price plus my consult fee, I decided to go for it. I scheduled a week in advance and read up on the procedure. According to popular wisdom, I avoided aspirin and ibuprofen the week before my appointment and scheduled it on a Friday after work so no one would see my puffy face. The numbing cream went on first and reminded me of the dentist. (do not open your mouth and get any inside!) Then the doctor came in and talked with me about the look I wanted. She chose Juvederm for volume, as Restylane was more for defining the border between lip and skin, she said. I asked for a stress ball to squeeze and I highly recommend doing this. Her nurse has a buzzing device she will put on your face which is supposed to distract your brain from the anxiety between each stab. It's useful! She started on the bottom lip and said "pinch" before each injection. The bottom lip didn't hurt much at all, but the top lip had me tearing up and groaning a bit. She also injected filler into my filtrate folds to give me more of a cupid's bow. That I can feel and I think I'm touching my nose more often now. Afterwards, I felt little balls of the filler inside my lips. It feels like when you bite your lip and it swells up in one spot. She said it would go away in a few days and to rub my lips together like after you put on lipstick. She had used about a half a syringe on me and the office will "bank" the rest for touch ups or to do it again when it wears off in 6-9 months. They gave me two small ice packs that were the size of ice cubes and let me sit in the chair for a bit until all the numbing wore off and I felt up to leaving. Then they gave me a bag for my ice and a vial of arnica pellets. I take 5 pellets 3x a day for bruising. I ended up with only one bruise on my upper lip that went away by day 6. (I covered it with lipstick for most of the week) They had no other post instructions that I had read elsewhere (like elevate your head while sleeping, no kissing, no alcohol, etc.) besides the arnica and the ice. I went to pay and the cost one one syringe was $600. The special they were offering that day was $100 off. Plus the $150 I had paid for my consult. It should have been $350, right? Well, I paid $400. I should probably call and ask about that... Anyway, the feeling of swollen balls inside my lips has mostly gone away now, one week later. I can still feel one though and its a little annoying but not a deal breaker. You can't actually see it.

Dr. Duggal is the most knowledgeable, sincere, caring medical professional I've ever had...and I've had a lot! I decided to have a tummy tuck and lipo after not being able to get rid of extra skin from having triplets 6 yrs. ago. After meeting Dr. Duggal I never got another consultation from anyone else. Her and her staff walked me through each step of the procedure, answered all my questions, were available before and after the procedure. Dr. Duggal even called the night before to see how I was and sent flowers after. If you live in or around Maryland choose her, you'll be so happy you did!

Dr. Duggal was extremely knowledgeable and really took the time to walk me through different options for the results I was seeking. I felt very comfortable in her hands and recommend her to all my friends and family. She is the best!

Dr.Duggal is amazing! My results from my breast augmentation are so natural and the scar is unnoticeable. I love them! She makes sure you and her are on the same page before surgery and takes great care of her patients. I would highly recommend her and will be going back for future surgeries!

My experience with Dr. Duggal was fantastic! When I first met with her for a consultation, she really took the time to listen to my needs and concerns. We went through a few treatment options and Dr. Duggal really worked to customize my treatment options around my end goal. I will definitely be back! By far the best experience I've ever had with a physician.

Dr. Duggal is super cool and just plain awesome. Her bedside manner is perfect. With her it's more like you're having a conversation with someone you already know the first time you meet her. She listens to you and formulates a plan based on what she hears from YOU during the consult and the two of you work on refining the plan TOGETHER. She isn't the type of doctor who just tells you this is what I'm going to do, take it or leave it. If you want to proceed in smaller steps (like me ) instead of doing a big procedure all at once, you do so knowing that you may end up with the bigger procedure. But she'll tell you that up front and review all the possibilities helping you to make a decision you are so comfortable with that you walk out of the consultation decided and not question it thereafter. My results..pain/healing have been exactly as she said it would be and if I end up deciding that I want more of a result...we already went over that possibility and how we would proceed. We both agreed that trying the smaller procedure first in hopes that I might not need more was the right decision for me. So far it's working out.

Dr. Duggal is outstanding! From the minute she walked in the room to introduce herself, I knew I was in good hands. She is a total professional, but she also makes you feel totally comfortable, like you're talking to your best friend or sister. I was more than pleased with the results of my procedure. Should I decide to do other procedures in the future, I've got my doc!

Dr. Duggal is an outstanding doctor! She really does have it all! Not only is she clearly extremely competent in her field, but one also gets the luxury of speaking to a kind and very understanding person. She understands that any procedure, even if elective, can be fraught with fear, but she has the strong ability to reassure you. I would not only recommend her to any one of my family members and friends, but plan on continuing to see her for other procedures. I am extremely glad I can call her my doctor.
