Summary

Born and raised in Santa Monica, Dr. Jay Granzow attended Harvard High School in Southern California. He attended college at Princeton, and graduated college with a major in chemical engineering with honors with a certificate in engineering biology and independent work in the program in robotics and intelligent systems.

After college, Dr. Granzow attended Tulane Medical School and soon developed an interest both in surgery and microsurgery. These interests continued throughout both of his residencies; first in Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at USC in Los Angeles and afterwards in Plastic Surgery at the University of Miami in Florida. He graduated medical school in 1997 in the top 10% of his class and was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society.

Dr. Granzow also holds a Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) degree with a focus in Health Systems Management. He completed this during his time in medical school at Tulane.

After finishing his formal training in Plastic Surgery, Dr. Granzow traveled throughout the United States and internationally for almost 18 months, spending significant amounts of time working closely with many of the worldÂ’s top surgeons in advanced microsurgery and aesthetic surgery. This time included fellowships both in microsurgery and perforator flap breast reconstruction with Dr. Robert Allen in New Orleans, Louisiana and in advanced aesthetic surgery with Dr. Bryan Mendelson in Melbourne, Australia.

His international fellowships give Dr. Granzow first-hand knowledge of the most current and cutting-edge procedures and techniques in plastic and reconstructive surgery. He is experienced with new and advanced methods, many of which are not yet widely practiced or unavailable in the United States.

Dr. Granzow has presented on many plastic surgery topics, including perforator flap breast reconstruction, at scientific meetings and has authored numerous articles in recent and upcoming issues of the major, peer reviewed, plastic surgery journals. He has also helped to perform a perforator flap breast reconstruction as part of a live surgical demonstration at the most recent international meeting on perforator flaps last held in Barcelona, Spain.
