Claire S. Duggal, MD

Harvard, Emory, and a focus on natural results

Dr. Duggal is deeply committed to staying at the forefront of her field through regular continuing education and frequent collaboration with other leading experts, ensuring she consistently delivers the safest, most advanced, and most efficient results for her patients.

She began her academic journey in Boston, graduating magna cum laude from Harvard University, and went on to earn her medical degree from Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta. She remained at Emory to complete her highly competitive Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery training, where she was mentored by some of the most respected surgeons in the field and trained in the most advanced surgical techniques and technologies available today.

Her surgical expertise spans breast procedures, abdominoplasty, liposuction, body contouring, and fat grafting. She also offers non-surgical facial rejuvenation, including Botox and dermal fillers, and is skilled in treating male aesthetic concerns such as gynecomastia and body contouring. As a mother herself, Dr. Duggal uniquely understands the physical and emotional changes many women experience after pregnancy and is dedicated to helping them regain confidence in their bodies.

When she is not in the operating room, Dr. Duggal is a devoted wife and proud mother of three energetic daughters. She spends her time supporting them in their many sports activities and enjoys water sports and anything that involves a bit of adrenaline. Her approach to life — energetic, adventurous, and family-centered — mirrors the thoughtful, personalized care she brings to her patients.

Patients often leave her care feeling not only transformed but truly understood — a reflection of Dr. Duggal’s commitment to combining skill, artistry, empathy, and ongoing professional growth in every procedure.
