Jon M. Grazer, MD, MPH, FACS, a Plastic Surgeon in Private Practice

Get to know Plastic Surgeon Jon M. Grazer, MD, MPH, FACS who serves patients in Newport Beach, California. 

A board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Grazer welcomes patients at his private practice in Newport Beach, where he specializes in aesthetic plastic and reconstructive surgery. His clientele includes high-profile models and international celebrities who, by nature of their profession, are under the constant scrutiny of public criticism. The pressure that his clients faced from the public, celebrity or otherwise, was his motivation to also become an expert in skin health, in order to best treat the scope of his patient’s needs. This dedication to detail has provided him with a myriad of loyal and satisfied customers who praise his ability to achieve a natural appearance in his procedures.

A second-generation Newport Beach plastic surgeon, the doctor comes from an extensive genealogy of California physicians that spans four generations back. His father, Dr. Frederick M. Grazer paved the road for the rise of plastic surgery by popularizing the tummy tuck and introducing liposuction to the United States in 1982.

With a deep curiosity and interest in science, Dr. Grazer attended Tulane University in New Orleans, where he received both his Master of Public Health and Master of Science in Anatomy degrees. During this time, he had the opportunity to work with Dr. Louis Ignarro, a Nobel Prize winner in Medicine, with whom he co-published a first-name paper. 

Subsequently, Dr. Grazer received his medical degree from the Louisiana State University School of Medicine. He then went on to complete his general surgery training at Tulane University School of Medicine, a fellowship in plastic surgery at Penn State University, and microsurgery training at the University of Pittsburgh.

Recognized as a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), the doctor is board-certified in plastic surgery by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). The mission of the ABPS is to promote safe, ethical, efficacious plastic surgery to the public by maintaining high standards for the education, examination, certification, and continuous certification of plastic surgeons as specialists and subspecialists.

In his professional experience, he works as an aviation medical examiner to provide Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) medical examinations to aspiring or renewing pilots, having had over 6000 hours of flight time logged since the age of 13. As such, he intimately understands the medical functions and requirements necessary for successful pilot operations. In addition, during his time in medical school, he had the opportunity to conduct research at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. His medical, science and aviation background led him to be selected as a second-tier astronaut candidate.

A past President of the Orange County Plastic Surgery Society, Dr. Grazer is currently an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Plastic Surgery at the University of California, Irvine. He has also published a chapter on liposuction techniques in “Plastic Surgery: Indication, Operations, and Outcomes,” a multi-volume, international plastic surgery textbook. Furthermore, he has authored an interactive CD on abdominoplasty, which aims to educate patients about the procedure prior to undergoing surgery.

His success with high-profile clients and his skill as a plastic surgeon have both led him to being featured on countless television and print media appearances, including Discovery Channel, MTV, Fox News, Fox Coast to Coast, NBC News, Düsseldorf Times, Fitness Magazine, Ladies Home Journal, San Francisco Chronicle, and Ellé.

Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. It can be divided into two main categories – reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. A plastic surgeon’s primary responsibility is performing surgical and non-surgical procedures, and they use a variety of reparative and reconstructive techniques to get the job done.

With a fervent belief in giving back, Dr. Grazer spends much of his free time traveling to underserved areas to perform surgery on children who may not otherwise have access to treatment. He is featured as a Top Doctor for dermal fillers and Dysport® on Realself.com, a leading cosmetic surgery website, and has also been named as one of the Top Doctors by the Orange County Medical Association every year since 2015.
