Overview

Dr. Daniel A. Cuzzone received his medical degree from the University of Connecticut School of Medicine in 2009. He went on to complete a residency in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the Hansjorg Wyss department of plastic and reconstructive surgery at NYU School of Medicine. During his residency training, Dr. Cuzzone completed a research fellowship at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center focusing on novel lymphedema therapies and tissue engineering under the direction of Dr. Babak Mehrara. After his plastic surgery training, he completed a craniofacial fellowship at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA).

Prior to joining the Emory Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in 2022, Dr. Cuzzone was an attending private plastic surgeon at Long Island Plastic Surgical Group, PC in New York. His primary practice locations are Emory University Hospital and Emory University Hospital Midtown. He performs a wide range of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, including facial aesthetics covering rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, facelift, eyelid surgery, fillers and botox, as well as breast and body contouring procedures. He has also provides surgical treatment of craniofacial deformities, vascular malformations, adult facial trauma and congenital anomalies as well as gender-affirming facial surgery.
