A board-trained plastic surgeon with a distinctive background spanning medicine, psychology, and design, Dr. Bartsich brings a thoughtful, detail-oriented perspective to her work, combining surgical expertise with an appreciation for balance, proportion, and natural aesthetics.
Born and raised in New York City, Dr. Bartsich was educated at the Lycée Français de New York, where she completed the French Baccalauréat in biology. She went on to attend Cornell University, earning an undergraduate degree in psychology while exploring her interests in the arts and human behavior. Her curiosity about design later led her to Parsons School of Design, where she studied while working at the fashion house of Calvin Klein. These experiences helped shape her appreciation for aesthetics and the relationship between form, function, and individual expression.
Ultimately drawn to medicine, Dr. Bartsich completed her premedical studies at Columbia University before earning her medical degree from Weill Cornell Medical College in New York. She subsequently entered the independent plastic surgery training program at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, where she gained experience across leading academic medical institutions in Manhattan.
In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Bartsich has maintained a strong commitment to medical education and research. In 2013, she became an assistant clinical professor of surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College, where she helps educate and train medical students and residents. Through her academic role, she contributes to the development of future physicians while remaining engaged in advancements within plastic surgery.
Dr. Bartsich’s research has focused particularly on aesthetic breast surgery and complications associated with breast implants. Her early research in this area, conducted during her residency in 2010, received two awards at the 2011 Aesthetic Meeting. That work helped establish the foundation for her ongoing academic interests, which include improving breast implant safety and exploring innovative approaches to breast cancer prevention.
A published author in peer-reviewed medical journals, Dr. Bartsich continues to contribute to the broader medical community through research, professional collaboration, and presentations at local and national conferences. Her dedication to ongoing investigation reflects her interest in advancing surgical techniques, improving patient care, and supporting progress in breast health.
