About Dr. Ilya Reyter, MD
Dr. Ilya Reyter is a top doctor qualified as a dermatologist and dermatological surgeon. In his position at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine, Dr. Reyter has been distinguished for his innovations in techniques of facial volume restoration with fat transfer and fillers. Outside of USC, Dr. Reyter performs a wide array of dermatogic procedures and cosmetic surgeries, including liposuction, surgery by laser, chemosurgery, fat transfer, soft tissue fillers, Botox and using laser resurfacing to treat photoaging and sun damage.
At the USC Department of Dermatology, Dr. Reyter holds the position of Assistant Clinical Professor. Here, Dr. Reyter created an innovative lipodystrophy program that assists patients in the fight against disfiguring facial fat and volume loss. Dr. Reyter uses this program to teach his fellow physicians techniques to reduce facial fat loss, a problem common for aging individuals, but especially prevalent in those suffering from a number of diseases, including HIV. By using new methods to harvest and move fat from the patient, Dr. Reyter is able to eliminate the physically wasted, hollow look that is difficult to control through other means.
A Los Angeles native, Dr. Reyter attended the University of California Los Angeles, where he graduated magna cum laude as a Distinguished Scholar. Afterwards, he went to medical school at the University of California San Francisco. Finally, Dr. Reyter came back to Los Angeles to complete his dermatology residency training at USC, a position that saw him elected Chief Resident.
Following his residency, Dr. Reyter became a part of USC’s clinical faculty and started his own Beverly Hills-based private practice, which has grown in popularity. In recent times, Dr. Reyter was offered a fellowship position at Mohs Surgery/Procedural Dermatology, which he decided to accept. In the dermatology field, this fellowship is the most advanced surgical training, which means that Dr. Reyter is well equipped to serve his patients with his expertise as a dermatologist and dermatological surgeon.
