Great plastic surgery holds up in normal lighting. Think a snapshot at Riverside Plaza, the mirror before work, the profile you catch on Mission Inn Avenue. Michael A. Jazayeri, M.D.—a board-certified plastic surgeon—lets art and anatomy get equal say. A serious photographer outside of the OR, he pays attention to small things: the way a jaw meets the neck, the lift of a cheek, how a neckline sits on the shoulder. Then he edits with restraint. This isn’t about volume for its own sake. It’s proportion, mapped on your features, with incisions placed to hide and scars coached to fade. Plastic surgery in Riverside with Dr. Jaz means measured planning, steady technique, and results that feel like you in motion and in bright sun.

Plastic surgery made sense to Michael A. Jazayeri, M.D., long before he wore a white coat. He grew up drawn to composition and form, then realized the operating room could be a place where an artist could make a surgical difference. That mix still guides his work today: measured edits, proportion over trend, and results that sit comfortably on the person, not on the surface.
Dr. Jazayeri’s path runs through UC Irvine (magna cum laude) and USC for medical school, followed by five years of general surgery at the University of Illinois–Chicago. He then spent a year at Shriners Children’s Los Angeles, caring for patients with complex burns and reconstruction work that sharpened his approach to scar revision and tissue expansion. Advanced plastic surgery training continued at St. Francis Memorial Hospital in San Francisco and the Medical College of Ohio, where he refined the techniques he now brings to everyday aesthetic concerns.
In practice, he favors clarity and restraint. Plans are built around anatomy and goals; comfort and safety come first, with many procedures offered under local anesthesia when appropriate and hospital or surgery center access for larger cases. The office is family-run and personal by design. Patients meet a surgeon who listens, maps a path, and aims for changes that feel like them—only better. As he puts it,
“An exaggerated look will get you attention, but not necessarily respect.”
Considering a change can feel like a big step. Dr. Jaz meets you with calm, straight talk, and a plan that makes sense. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, he favors proven methods and clear communication over hype. Consults cover what each option can and cannot do, plus anesthesia, recovery, and follow-up. Many procedures happen under local anesthesia in our procedure room; larger cases are scheduled at accredited centers. From first hello to final check-in, the team keeps you comfortable and informed, so you understand the procedure and the likely result before you decide.
We map your goals, review medical history, and outline options that match your timeline—school runs in La Sierra, shifts near the Galleria at Tyler, hikes on Box Springs trails. You leave with a written plan, prep steps, and honest expectations.
Schedule a ConsultationDuring your consult, Dr. Jaz maps chest width, base diameter, tissue quality, and how the bust meets the waist and shoulders. Augmentation focuses on shape and placement that sit well in motion; lifts tighten skin and reset nipple position; reductions lighten the frame and refine symmetry. For revision or asymmetry, he studies old photos and op notes when available, then adjusts pocket position, implant type, or soft-tissue support. Subtle fat transfer can soften edges and blend the upper pole so results sit subtly in a T-shirt or a dress.
Explore Breast OptionsA smooth midsection changes posture and how clothes meet the body. Abdominoplasty trims excess skin, narrows the waist, and repairs separation of the midline muscles when needed. Incisions are planned low so swimwear covers the line; the umbilicus is set with care so it looks like it belongs. Focused liposuction along the flanks sharpens the curve without overdoing it. The plan scales to need—from a focused mini to full repair—so work, family, and recovery can align. Good posture, walking early, and steady weight protect the outcome over time.
Explore Tummy TuckThis is spot work for places training can’t change—abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, under the chin. Dr. Jaz marks lines while you stand, so shadows and highlights fall in the right places when you move. Many areas can be treated under local anesthesia for the right candidate; larger combinations are scheduled in an accredited setting. The goal is balance along the entire silhouette, not a dramatic single zone. Keep results with movement and a stable set point.
Explore LiposuctionA modern SMAS approach supports deeper layers so the surface can relax. Expect cleaner jaw angles, softer marionette shadows, and a face that still looks like you. When the neck joins the plan, the jaw-neck angle reads as one continuous line from ear to collar. Incisions track natural creases and hairline breaks; scar care and shade do the rest. Design is individualized—what to lift, what to leave, and how to balance volume with removal—so expression stays easy and results age well.
Explore FaceliftA small, in-office procedure that adds a natural dimple mapped to your smile profile. Through a hidden incision inside the cheek, a precise stitch creates a soft tether that relaxes as swelling fades. Placement is measured so the effect shows when you smile and rests when you don’t. Short visit, light aftercare, and a feature that feels like it was always there.
Explore DimpleplastyThis is a coordinated approach, not a fixed menu. Common pairings include tummy repair for core support, a breast lift or augmentation for balance, and selective liposuction for contour. Sequencing and scope are sized to your timeline and support at home. Dr. Jaz walks you through incision care, movement, and a simple plan for nutrition and sleep so recovery feels manageable. The aim is comfort in your clothes, ease in your day, and a shape that matches how you feel.
Explore Mommy MakeoverBoard certification isn’t a badge—it’s a process. A board-certified plastic surgeon completes an accredited residency that covers reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, learns the language of soft-tissue movement and scar biology, and is tested on safety and judgment. That depth shows up in planning, in the operating room, and in recovery.
It’s also important to separate plastic surgery from “cosmetic” titles. Plastic surgeons train for additional years in supervised surgical care before independent practice. Physicians who market themselves as cosmetic surgeons may come from other specialties with different pathways. The difference is the scope and rigor of training across anatomy, wound healing, and complex decision-making.
Certification comes through the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS)—an ABMS member board. Initial certification requires comprehensive exams and case evaluation; ongoing certification requires continued education and quality review. Dr. Jazayeri maintains his ABPS certification and keeps his methods current, so the plan you receive is safe, precise, and aligned with your goals.
People come to Michael A. Jazayeri, M.D., for work that looks like them—only fresher. He’s a board-certified plastic surgeon with over two decades in practice, a photographer’s eye for proportion, and a calm, straight-talk approach. The plan is always personal: clear mapping, measured edits, and a technique that favors balance over trend. Many treatments are available under local anesthesia in the procedure room; larger cases are scheduled at accredited facilities.
The through-line is the same—safety, restraint, and results that hold up in bright light and everyday life. Patients across Orange County and the Inland Empire trust him for the full spectrum of care: injectables, facial rejuvenation, eyelids, breast and body contouring, and thoughtful revision when it’s needed. His background includes peer-reviewed publications and years of reconstructive experience, which shows up in scar behavior, tissue handling, and planning that anticipates how you’ll heal, not just how you’ll look on day one. You’re guided the whole way by a family-run team that listens, follows through, and keeps you informed. The aim isn’t drama; it’s confidence. Subtle changes that fit your features, your routine, and your life.
