Authentically You
We were founded on the belief that everyone has the inherent right to feel at ease in their own skin. Our practice combines elite surgical training with a commitment to inclusivity, offering aesthetic and reconstructive procedures alongside a full spectrum of gender-affirming surgery.
Dr. Ives believes in the inherent right of every individual to feel at ease in their own skin and to show the world the best version of themselves.
Dr. Graham Ives completed his Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery residency at the University of Southern California followed by a specialized fellowship in Facial Plastic Surgery at the Lasky Clinic in Beverly Hills, some of the top training programs in the country. Prior to this, he attended the University of Michigan Medical School, where he graduated at the top of his class with honors. Dr. Ives performs aesthetic surgery of the face and body, as well as gender affirming surgery of the face, chest, and body.
In addition to his surgical practice, Dr. Ives serves as resident teaching faculty for the USC Plastic Surgery Residency Program, helping train the next generation of plastic surgeons. His commitment to the LGBTQ+ community extends beyond the operating room: he is a member of the Equality California Board of Directors, helping lead the largest LGBTQ+ policy advocacy organization in the country to promote access to care and advance rights for LGBTQ+ individuals everywhere.
