Bio and C.V.

Cosmetic surgery is a multifaceted specialty involving specialists from different backgrounds, who bring their talent and training to the field of cosmetic surgery. The multitude of experience and training offers the highest quality of patient care for the specific procedure in which you are interested.

Dr. Jacob Haiavy graduated from New York University with the Alumni Medal for the highest scholastic average for four years. He attended Mount Sinai Medical School in New York, continuing there with an internship in General Surgery. Interested in cosmetic surgery and facial reconstruction, he continued his specialty training in maxillofacial surgery with heavy emphasis on cancer reconstruction and cosmetic surgery. Following his residency, Dr. Haiavy gained acceptance to a general cosmetic surgery fellowship in Texas with Howard Tobin, M.D., former president of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. After completion of the fellowship he moved to Southern California and has been practicing in Beverly Hills and Rancho Cucamonga.

Following training, Dr. Jacob Haiavy has practiced cosmetic surgery, exclusively, in the fully accredited surgery center in Rancho Cucamonga since 2001.  Dr. Haiavy has always been interested in teaching. He has hosted live surgery courses for visiting physicians from all over the world in his Rancho Cucamonga facility.  He is also a director of a full body and facial cosmetic surgery fellowship training program that is accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. In addition, he has authored a number of scientific articles on cosmetic surgery that have been published in prestigious and leading cosmetic and plastic surgery journals. He has served as faculty for cosmetic breast, body, and facial rejuvenation courses, in addition to being a faculty for the Loma Linda University.

Dr. Haiavy has trained intensively with a former President of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery as well as innovators in the field of cosmetic surgery, and has performed well over 2000 cosmetic surgery procedures. Dr. Haiavy specializes in breast, facial and body procedures and uses the most advanced endoscopic and minimally invasive techniques that use optical telescopes with video imaging, in order to allow for smaller incisions, no visible scarring and more rapid healing. He is one of the few surgeons in Southern California to perform the Transumbilical (Belly-Button) Breast Augmentation. He also specializes in facial rejuvenation, body contouring, and a range of Cosmetic Surgery procedures with years of experience, training and expertise. Dr. Haiavy’s integrity, compassion and warmth, combined with his surgical training and artistic eye, have been appreciated by his patients throughout his career. A quote from a patient's letter:
