Dr. Elyassnia went on to obtain his medical degree at the USC School of Medicine. He graduated in the top 1% of his class and scored in the top 1% nationally on the medical licensing exam. While in medical school his interest in plastic surgery blossomed. His achievements at USC allowed him to obtain an appointment to the combined general surgery and plastic surgery training program at the University of California San Francisco, one of the most sought after positions in the country. At UCSF, Dr. Elyassnia received a broad education in plastic and reconstructive surgery and learned directly from many leaders in the field.

There he completed an Aesthetic Fellowship at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, home to arguably the busiest fellowship clinic in the country.
