Get to know Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon Dr. Erez Dayan, who serves patients in Reno, Nevada.

Dr. Dayan is a well-known plastic & reconstructive surgeon with an artist’s touch, who commonly goes the extra mile to provide the fullest possible aesthetic results. He is the Medical director of Avance Plastic Surgery Institute in Reno, Nevada. 

The meaning of the French word Avance is ‘to move forward’ or ‘to advance’. The cornerstone of the Institute’s mission is to provide patients with optimal results by employing cutting-edge techniques and minimally invasive technology.

A 2010 graduate of the SUNY Downstate College of Medicine, Dr. Dayan performed his residency in general surgery at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York in 2015. Three years later, in 2018, he completed his plastic & reconstructive surgery training at the world-renowned Harvard Plastic Surgery program, consistently ranked as the #1 medical center in the country by U.S. News & World Report. 

After his training at Harvard, he was chosen to train at the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute, widely regarded as the top aesthetic surgery fellowship internationally. He worked closely with the leading experts in breast reconstruction, complex microvascular reconstruction, face transplantation, and aesthetic surgery of the face, breast, and body. 

As a result, he gained extensive experience in both reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgery. Dr. Dayan is one of only a few surgeons in the country to have additional fellowship training in advanced aesthetic techniques and minimally invasive technology. 

Dedicated to setting the standard for excellence in plastic surgery, he is an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the American College of Surgeons, and the Northeastern Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Nationally and internationally, Dr. Dayan has lectured and published on plastic surgery topics on over 150 occasions. He has been invited as faculty to operate and teach at prestigious international meetings in the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and South America. He is also the lead author of five books on specialized plastic surgery topics. 

Most recently, Dr. Dayan co-authored the seminal textbook ‘Emerging Technologies in Facial Aesthetics and Body Contouring’. He also co-authored ‘The Atlas of Facial Implants’ as well as ‘Facial Danger Zones: Staying Safe with Surgery, Fillers, and Noninvasive Devices.’ 

Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. It can be divided into two main categories – reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. Reconstructive surgery includes craniofacial surgery, hand surgery, microsurgery, and the treatment of burns. A plastic surgeon’s primary responsibility is performing surgical and non-surgical procedures, and they use a variety of reparative and reconstructive techniques to get the job done. 

Established in his field, Dr. Dayan’s contributions to plastic & reconstructive surgery have been recognized by numerous prestigious awards, including the Harvard Plastic Surgery Academic Achievement Award, the Robert Goldwyn/Harvard Medical School Grant, the World Society of Reconstructive Microsurgery Achievement Award, and the Aesthetic Surgery Education & Research Foundation Grant. He has also been sought after as a key opinion leader and investigator for a number of industry sponsored grants including Allergan, MTF Biologics, InMode, and Galderma.

When he is not in the operating room, Dr. Dayan enjoys spending quality time with his beautiful wife, Tali, and his three sons: Elon, Asher, and Leor. They reside in Reno/Tahoe.
