Following a bright academic performance in school, capped by topping School at the Board exams (I.C.S.E.), he secured admission to the prestigious St John’s Medical College & Hospital, Bangalore. Over the next nearly 18 years at this institution, he completed his entire medical training from M.B.B.S, to Masters in General Surgery (M.S.), culminating in Masters in super-specialty training (M. Ch. Plastic Surgery), before going on to work as faculty here, where he was promoted relatively quickly to the position of Associate Professor in Plastic Surgery. Stepping out of St. John’s, he did a brief stint at Sakra, before embarking on a Fellowship in Breast, Hand and Microsurgery at Dalhousie University, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Here, he also obtained invaluable exposure to aesthetic surgery in Toronto, Canada.  Upon his return to India, he was attached to a number of leading corporate hospitals across the city (Vydehi Super speciality Hospital, Trustwell hospital, Apollo Spectra Hospital, Agadi Hospital, and Vasavi Hospital) as a Visiting Consultant, before re-joining Sakra World hospital as a senior consultant in Plastic surgery.

Dr. Narender is the Best Cosmetic Surgeon in Bangalore and believes strongly in upholding the highest ethical values as a medical practitioner, and his value system is centred on patient safety. As a plastic surgeon, he is passionate about two branches- aesthetic surgery and microvascular surgery. His training and work at the high-volume plastic surgery centre of St. John’s, followed by the fellowship in Canada have given him tremendous exposure in both these key areas of plastic surgery. To bolster this further, he has attended many focused training programs on select areas within these branches. His areas of expertise include rhinoplasty, breast surgery, abdominoplasty, facial surgery, aesthetic facial rejuvenation with use of Botox, fillers, HIFU technology, thread lifts and ear reconstruction and as a microvascular reconstruction surgeon.
